[Fwd: Re: mplayer G2]

 From mplayer-dev-eng :

The 'bumpling idiots', thats us i guess. I wonder if this idiot is worth 
a call to my lawyer. Enough is enough IMO, and if his parents failed to 
teach this guy some manners, maybe we have to do it, responsible persons 
as we are ?

I'd recommend not. You'll laugh at their naive discussions... Like we
do on #mplayerdev... :)

Realtime? ROTFL! Maybe with a Beowulf cluster of multi-GHz machines...

Never. One is developed by bumbling idiots trying to force their
windows-centric C++/Java/XML/[insert your favorite CS toy here]
nonsense on us. The other is designed by some of the most competent
video coders on the planet who actually understand efficiency,
performance, etc.
