Comment The Best? (Score 1) 488

It maybe the Swiss Army Knife of the video files but I will NOT consider it the best until it can properly render subtitles from an MKV file, or any external subtitle file.

One would think two years and [G/g]od knows how many petitions someone in there would work on it but all they have said is "it's not a high priority"

So I say screw them. I'll stick to Perian/Quicktime on OSX and Media Player/CCP on XP.

I used to do that, but I only have so much hd space and just leaving Transmission to download a queue of over 300 dvds is kind of unreasonable...

Especially when it's too busy grabbing fansubs..

I really did try to do that for my old man but I found it more convenient to let him have a slot from my account (two actually) since he's a more avid watcher of stuff on DVD.
He gets his stuff. And I do absolutely nothing.

between this and any other portable applications like say, games.

My DSlite has been sitting on a pile of PS2 games for the past five months collecting dust along with all the games I bought for it. It's a giant stack of good games I've played/been meaning to play/shoved in my face to play, yet there they are. Not to mention that I had carried my DS for 3 months with me before I realized I wasn't playing it.

Oh, but during the first 4 months of me owning that system you bet I played the crap out of it.

the ONLY reason taht twitter is sucessful is the 90,000,000 apps for cellphones, browser bars, etc that let you "tweet" without effort.

This is what I came in here to say. I know a few people that set it up to send/receive updates from their cellphone and haven't logged in since. Honestly, unless you're going to the actual website to change something of yours, you NEVER get a message to do so. Unlike MySpace's "You have a new message. Click here to log in to see it" That was one of the reason's I left it for Facebook. At least they send you the message along with the alert.
