I don't know about you, but I have yet to run into anything that I couldn't play or had to go out of my way to play on linux. I just emerged mplayer with all the use flags I wanted (I use gentoo) and I've never had to touch it.

Also, CCCP is just ffmpeg...which, mplayer uses. You make no sense.

Guy Kawasaki gave one really good suggestion to test your idea: convince a woman

Dude, the guy is asking his question on Slashdot. The odds that he knows any women or has the guts to talk to them if he does are slim to none.

Now if you'll excuse me, the microwave upstairs just beeped. My hotpockets are done!

Why does it worry me that that was modded +5 INFORMATIVE!

I don't know about you, but I pay quite a bit to live in the dorms and part of that price includes the internet access (quick note: Our dorm internet is somewhat separated from the campus wireless network...though, technically its all connected). The dorms are not my work place. I pay them, they aren't paying me. I don't understand how you can compare goofing off with a connection you paid for in your room to goofing off on your workplace's network. They are two different things. You argument is just plain stupid.

Either way, I'm quite satisfied with our connection and its actually one of the reasons I'm staying in the dorms for now since no where else could I get such a fast connection. I personally have no complaints with my university.

For whatever reason, I decided to say Hi and Happy Towel day to a use-to-be-friend that I haven't talked to in many years. He pretty much thought I was despicable for mentioning Towel Day on Memorial Day and then started going on about how horrible I was.

Did kind of make me worry about mentioning it to anyone at that rate though...kind of scared me into removing it from Facebook even :S Personally, I see nothing wrong with "celebrating" towel day even though its Memorial Day, and I don't feel I'm disrespecting anyone or not recognizing Memorial Day due to that, but oh well.

Anyone else get shunned today?

FALSE! At least in Wisconsin, as long as you have never had vaccines before and follow all the rules of the waiver your parents signed at birth, you can go into public schools without immunizations.

I am not vaccinated at all and I have never had any problems (I currently attend a public college also in Wisconsin).

However, I am pretty sure now that I would vaccinate my kids, if I were to have any.

Still, I'm kind of offended by some of this because you guys make the people who aren't immunized because of their parents look like bad guys. Sure, I guess I could go get vaccinated, though, I don't plan on it (unless I leave the country), and either way, I already have a stronger immune system than a lot of people, as in I have only gotten severly sick about 2 times or so in my life. (not that it could wistand some of these "terrible diseases").

Oh well, that statement just bugged me because it was so blatantly false.
