I'll throw in my two cents for Audacious, see: http://audacious-dvb.sourceforge.net/screenshot.png It probably lacks some of the advanced stuff you would want, but I use it as I still do with Winamp: setup keyboard hot

Well, a much smaller percentage of Windows users are on 8.0 than OS X users are on Snow Leopard or later. If Blue allowed upgrades from Windows 7 for free, that'd be a more equal comparison.

I'm all for this being blocked by default, and the same goes for all plugins. But it certainly bothers me when they make it impossible to override their security constraints. Put in an about:config setting to allow Java, and it's

The cynic might think that acetaminophen was added in such massive quantities with hydrocodone (Vicodin) and oxycodone (Percocet) [usually 500/50 ratios] as a way to discourage people from attempting to take more than the recommended d

When I was 19, I tried to open a checking account. Amazingly, I was declined. For a bank account. I didn't ask for credit, in fact I had no credit history at all. I was apparently so unworthy that they didn't trust me to give them

Ah, thank you. So it was a mistake to not initially honor the EXIF data, but it's so ingrained now that fixing it might 'break' existing images on the web. It's a shame backward compatibility has to be so rigid. It'

What's the technical reason that Firefox (and presumably other browsers) can't just read the JPEG EXIF data to obtain the proper orientation? This CSS tag could still be marginally useful: you could store only one corner and one s

MAME/MESS certainly boasts of favoring accuracy, but the results are hit and miss. When you emulate an arcade architecture with three games made for it, you don't have much code to stress test your emulation. Nor can you really expect someo

There were two reasons I rejected the idea. Foremost was that my goal was code simplicity. Although true that most of the time you can run ahead without issues, it is no small feat to be able to serialize tiny deltas that can then be rewoun

I have in the past written my CPU cores in a pseudo-language that allowed a custom preprocessor to spit out either a function call table or a switch table. (see bsnes v013 - v040 or so.) It's not a significant difference. The margin of erro

My favorite part was the way you put the cartridge in, turned on the power, and the game was playing. No OS bootup, no OS navigation menu, no game booting delays, no game level loading delays. All games, instantly. Nowadays, even my televis

Even if you could rip at the raw 24bpp RGB output and streaming audio, you are talking 356MByte/s (20GByte/m) of data for 1080p. People want the original streams because they have already been nicely compressed. Now sure, you can then recom

Right, that's the root of the problem: feature creep. Common with design-by-committee. As with any feature, there are possible use cases. Perhaps you want to create a form document and use custom entities that you modify later to fill the d

Yes, since the primary problem is trying to simulate dozens of unique processes that all run in parallel with a single CPU thread, modern processors are woefully inadequate for the task. Emulation is possible by way of sheer brute force, wi
