Yeah, that would be why I specified a version of Winamp. XMMS was decent the last time I could be bothered to use linux on the desktop. Now the desktop is either windows (games) or osx (most everything else) depending on what i'm working on, and the linux machines are remote command line shells.

I don't care about finding lyrics, or album artwork, or "visualizations" or anything else. I just want a music player to play music.

I'm not worried about remote code execution through mp3s since the vast majority of the music I've got is stuff I've ripped from my cd collection. Everything else came from a source I trust (Amazon's store).

Educated and caring are two different things.

In my case, I simply don't give a rat's ass, and will have the car that's actually fun to drive -- and also still happens to manage 30+ mpg combined highway & city.

Then again, if by "sports cars" you mean the return of ill-handling V8 powered land yachts, you may very well be right.

Not in a "i'm just one person" or "no one I want to vote for has a chance of winning" sense, but because of blatant corruption and fraud at the polls in this county.

I've watched it -- "locked" boxes of ballots being opened and poll workers selectively removing ballots, and adding a stack of ballots they've filled out themselves so the number of ballots still matches the number of voters that voted, all while a county deputy charged with escorting the ballots back to be counted stood there and watched. I've complained about it to the state and the feds. No one cares, since I didn't get video of it happening. So I no longer waste my time.

I'll resume voting when I move somewhere else and can pretend that the process isn't hopelessly corrupted.
