Seriously, though. Reading TFA (I know I know) it is somewhat comforting to know that Bioware dudes are going to be involved. I'd prefer to know if their writers were in on it, though. Hell, Mass Effect blew my mind with its cinematic integrity. Will it get the Hollywood treatment and everything we know and love about it is raped and murdered before our eyes? Yeah, probably. But who knows, 300 and Watchmen were pretty faithful adaptations and maybe we won't have Johnny Fucking Depp or Robert Downey Jr playing Commander Shepard.

I know exactly what you mean when it comes to Amarok. The layout in particular annoyed me. I'd follow instructions to give a similar appearance in Amarok 2, but even with it looking like 1.4, it didn't have the same functionality (clicking a column title to sort, for example). I've been using MPD for awhile now, but recently I stumbled on Clementine which is a fork of Amarok 1.4. It's still very young, but is usable and looking good so far.

They support a group which is battling Japan's illegal whaling. Sure, I don't dig some of Sea Sheperd's actions, but there is far more to the Greens than the environmentalism. While they're the only ones who would actually go through with cutting down emissions, their other policies are far more grounded in (secular) morality than either of the two major parties and they are against the filter. 250% less evil than the ALP or Libs.

"Australia’s crackpot left has once again thrown its lot in with eco-terrorist group Sea Shepherd, demanding Japan release operative Peter Bethune, arrested for illegally boarding a whaling vessel on the high seas, supposedly in an effort to capture it." Totally unbiased website on a website run by Japanophiles :)

Vote for the Greens. They're far from insane. They're probably the most reasonable of the lot. But even then, it's good to toss some votes to the Sex Party and (if they're officially registered by the election) the Pirate Party. The latter two will never get into power, but can function as pressure groups.
