I hear you. Just imagine what it would be like if search engines dropped the promotion to the top bs and indexed pages by relevance... u know, how they used to before google destroyed the concept

"accept the need for such monitoring as they do CCTV in shopping malls"... What a pathetic comparison to make for their case. Although I can understand the need to ensure you're getting what you pay for in terms of freelancers, that really shouldn't come down to how busy they appear to be. It's a different measurement altogether. A bad freelancer could look very busy but produce little results. Either way, I personally would not work for any company that decided this was appropriate, however desperate for work I might be. IMHO employers will be the ones to lose out in performing this sort of practice.

I thought it seemed pretty clear that the OP was only talking about referencing the frontend, which would unfortunately not demonstrate his work on the project/s. The fact that he's concerned that he can only demonstrate the frontend and not backend or even the admin portal, means that he would only be supplying public urls to the project. Come on SD posters... where's the quality comments these days.

Sounds like a great reason to ditch Facebook altogether now. It hasn't been very focussed on social networking lately anyway. Just another big data mine, using our data to generate their wealth. It's only a matter of time before they charge us for a "premium" or tiered service.

Wouldn't this mean that Symantec, are illegally downloading torrents to find this information in the first place? They would need to be downloading enough data to make this illegal in the cases that the torrent isn't just malware, but actual illegitimate software.

Programming in bits is boring, why not program in bits but make it sound like something totally different!

What a complete waste of time and resources to be developing for stupid people..

Sorry for the bad comment formatting! :(

iTunes is definitely another great player, I agree. It's probably the only one that compares to Winamp (that I know of). I think it comes down to personal preference between the two really. The Media Library of both iTunes and Winamp are very similar. The ability to sort, categorise, search, view album art, and play directly from the library is what I meant by excellent. Winamp doesn't seem to have "Smart Playlists" by default (possibly plugins?). Winamp does have a Generate Playlist feature, that lets you select some music and then finds similar sounding tracks from your Media Library by analysing the wave form of your selection. I haven't really used that much, I prefer to rate my music and use the media library to generate playlists based on those ratings. Personally I really love the Winamp "Shade" mode (that allows you to dock a tiny strip version of the player to an edge of your desktop), and the modular window support. Being able to move just the Playlist to my second monitor and keep the Media Library on my primary screen is great! The interesting thing is that, iTunes and Winamp seem to be the two major players in desktop audio players currently, so it's really strange that Nullsoft would give up Winamp so easily.

Completely agree. Let's hope Radionomy continue the great work

Thanks, I'll check it out

A really great reply!

I don't understand all of this talk about the Winamp developers stating that there are plenty of good audio players out there now... There really isn't! There's iTunes and a majority of people use that because they don't realise that their computers can have non Apple software installed on them too :O. I've recently been trying out many of the top rated audio players, e.g. foobar2000, MusicBee, iTunes.. none of them come even close to being as good as Winamp. Some of Winamp's features that I'm yet to see in other players are, - Excellent Media Library, with the ability to play straight from the library... - Toast Notifications of playing tracks - Great plugin integration - Modular and modern design If anyone knows of any players that can really compare, please let me know. I'd love to see them.
