I've been bullied since 3rd grade, back then it was about my parents, now it's about my skills and personality/identity. Eight years of constant mental torturing (I'm now in high school/11th grade, sophomore) and I'm still alive, mostly thanks to computers and books (Nietszche and Machiavelli are my favs).
Alternatively, you can use Coolplayer, cuz it's as lite as it gets.

And I agree, Winamp2 used to be the best (music) player....
The same problem exists in Europe too. Most people in my school are only interested in drinking & partying or arts/science. I find that literature keeps you sane and balances the so called equation, eg. you can't only study one thing and forget about the other, in this case literature.
Long live the memory of the one and only Ernest Miller Hemingway.
It seems to me that the terms "geek", "whitehat" and "hacker" are used to describe the new trends, eg. using techonology and so on, but they seem to lack the skills and knowledge. Being a true geek and/or a hacker means you can think outside the box and reverse engineer things + you don't brag about your real skills and you walk in the shadows.

It works like a charm! I wish they'd invent similar aero thing like Vista has.
All it takes to put this kid out of business is to send a real badass hacker/cracker after him.
I wonder how long does it take to get rid of the preinstalled Windowz XP Tablet OS and install linux or bsd on it...
For Christ's sake, stay away from that crap. I recommend you start with Python or C++, they're both extremely impressive languages.
Hacking != Cracking Damn politicians, they're all alike.
The only thing that prevents me from ditching Ms Office is its speller, it's sad that OpenOffice doesn't have a speller as good as microsoft's....
It seems to be the right time to jump ship and start using Crux Linux, coz Gentoo is getting mainstream, eg. it's a crapmagnet.
Thanks :)
One word: causality! Instead of trying to get rid of the consequence, try to avoid the cause, which is in this case the operating system.
I already imagine chairs flying around in Microsoft's dark office...:P
No Allahu Akbar anymore? It's sad.

Estonia? What's that, a stonehenge in Scotland? :P
Less porn Different OS (Linux, BSD etc).
Amen.
Robots need love too, you know.
Maybe it's time for **AA to kick the bucket...
According to Plato's philosophy, we already know everything, we've just forgotten it (anamnesis).

It's quite amusing to follow the so called "sandbox games".

Probably the same ones XP and 2k have.
If my memory serves me correctly, Microsoft bought Hotmail from Steve Jurvetson for $300mln. http://www.dfj.com/team/steve_bio.shtml
