acroyearon my hassles with linux media players...
i also am sick and tired of the "just recompile it" crap. we should be past that now. i lived that life in the 90s when it was the only way to do anything at all, and now, i'm sick of it. i'm not that kind of geek anymore; i've got better things to do with my time. this is what happens to geeks when they cross age 30, get married, and find things outside of computers to actually be involved in.
update -- not quite catching that particular paragraph, he tried to "console" this "poor windows supporter" (HAH!) that compiling from the source isn't all that bad a thing...finally, i had to pull the *real* age trump card just to make it clear to him:
look at my slashdot ID number (hint: it has 2 fewer *digits* than yours).
there are times i *really* love being one of slashdot's first 10,000.
