It'd be pretty stupid to call Kaboodle, Noatun, etc. "lagging" becuase Real withheld their codec information. The honest thing would be to say that anyone using those codecs is "lagging" in actually distributing their information. Further, anyone who recommends to a proprietary-software-wanting friend the use of "GNU/Linux" is doing that friend a disservice. - -- Neil Stevens - [email protected] "I'll believe it when I see it." -- George Walker Bush -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/MboDf7mnligQOmERAiNuAKCRbfkymfR9HiJIBnTrtrZFo01yKgCeJwpI w8UZm1MfF/75bVAIpG1tS/I= =R5QE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Kde-cafe mailing list - [email protected] http://ofb.biz/lists/listinfo.cgi/kde-cafe DISCLAIMER: The views expressed on this mailinglist are the personal opinions of the author and do not represent OfB.biz: Open for Business, KDE or the author's employer.
