@ rad head:

Actually, I've been putting off getting a cell phone again for a while now, and it's probably time to quit resisting. Credo looks pretty good. Thanks for the tip.

Banshee free/open music player for GNU/Linux turns 1.0

June 24, 2008 1:41am

It's probably important that people who want an open-sourced do-everything media player have one, and I whole-heartedly applaud the hard work of the Banshee team. More open licenses in the public space is always a good thing, and Banshee looks like a pretty nice piece of work.

But not for me, thanks. I like smaller tools. I've done more than my fair share of banging my head against keyboards when things don't work right, and I'm convinced: simplicity is a virtue. My alarm clock is mpg123 and a cron job.

Maybe I'm just Amish or something.

I don't mind the hookers and the X, but I'll be damned if I can forgive that no-good son of a bitch for the bcm43xx chipset.

I hope they fry his ass.

What waterboarding feels like

Okay, it's torture. But is it drowning? Nah, it's "simulated drowning", you're a godless liberal and nothing you say is true, and therefore it isn't really torture; you just want to believe it's torture because you hate America.

This is what we're up against.

Look closely, I think that you'll see that it's spelled air "freshner". ;)
