  3. Re:frustrated a few times with Windows limitations on Boot Camp For Suckers? · · Score: 1
    Also, most of the programmers I work with like windows because it allows for tweaking much easier... whereas mac closes off its systems so normal users cant screw it up.
    I am very interested to hear what the slashdot crowd thinks of this statement about programing. What are your findings when compairing programming on different platforms.
  4. Re:DRM Ridden? on Songbird Flies Today · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://www.snappingturtle.net/jmc/tmblog/archives/ 003518.html explains, iTunes uses quicktime to play audio files. Since quicktime supports plug-ins, all you need to support flac or ogg is to get a plugin for quicktime. The link refers to a flac plugin (haven't searched around for the best one) and the following link has a ogg plugin. http://jsp.vs19.net/osx/oggtunes.php

  5. DRM Ridden? on Songbird Flies Today · · Score: 5, Insightful

    As far as I know, and I may be wrong here, iTunes will play standard mp3's. At least mine does. So what would the "...a great alternative to the DRM ridden iTunes..." gain you? I would rather have a player that can play drm'd songs, if I were forced to play a few, and still be able to play standard mp3's.
