I to am a Systems Administrator, for a fairly large company, and, in the begining i had some fun with naming. All my linux boxes had names from the simpsons: Homer, lisa, bart, millhouse... etc. And when we started getting Sun machines, we named them after HHGG (hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy) characters: zaphod, prefect (in fact our 3 e5500 servers are named Prefect-01 - Prefect-03), Trillian, and agrajag.
Then the same thing happened to me, the naming convetion got changed by a P.H.B. to the military call letters: Alpha(which was left out, cause our Alpha was already named Alpha)Bravo, Charly, Delta... blah, blah. And now i have machines called oscar, and papa *shudder*.
To make matters worse the naming convention has changed AGAIN to wb-ct-qa-qfe02. unbeleivable.
I work for wsvw1u labs, and i dont know who you are, or how you got a picture of our nanoman, but shut-up about it, and stop posting it all over the damn internet!
"Now what about AOL? They killed the open source versions of AIM for TCL, none of the AOL system is open sourced or even uses standard protocols or API's.",
If you look, there is no '=' in my post... I did not say that more money equals better development. The makers of winamp will will now be able to concentrate more on the development of this product.
Another thing... what is the deal with everyone all of a sudden saying
"Looks like im gonna have to find another mp3 player!"
No, you dont, you shouldnt. If winamp is what you have been using, use it. Just because AOL bought them, doesnt make it a bad product. I still use, and love netscape, guess what? AOL owns them!
grow up, use what you want to use, but dont base it on the financial backer.
Yes, AOL is a HUGE conglomerate, and it seems that they are only doing this because mp3s are so big lately, but.. (you know there had to be one) they also have alot of money, and sway in the internet world. This could be a good thing. More money, better development, and if AOL starts advertising this could mean that many many more people would potentialy be exposed to mp3s, and give it the boost it needs.
i would love more games on linux. i think that it is a crucial part of getting people completely converted. i have kept windows on my machines for halflife, tribes, etc... if those were ported, i would never see another start button in my life.

This is not necesarily a bad thing...

I think that the site may have been slashdoted, hehe.
someone post the username and password here so we can all get free crappy bags, and put them out of buisness.
i think that it might be...
