I use it with cygwin, because the unix utilities are a must have. You can use it natively, and it works fine too, but I really like my unix utils

Jeez, I don't even know what MediaCoder has done wrong here. If they're not linking against ffmpeg, just piping to it, MediaCoder's code doesn't need to be GPL'd, right? Anyone care to explain? These ffmpeg guys sure aren't.

Urgh, I can't stand coding on those tiny keyboards.

There is still a registry, because the registry is still a great idea. Dvorak argues that the registry is 'a pile of junk clogging up the machine'. The registry is a tree data structure - more nodes won't 'clog it up', it'll still take the

Do yourself a favor: Turn UAC all the way up, and forget the antivirus. Your system will still be fast and snappy, but you'll still be notified every time tries to do something it shouldn't

94 Pages? I'll sum it up for you here: Rounding error happens. It's worse if you do add/subtract a very big number and a very small number. Rounding error increases as you do more operations. Depending on your platform, you may need to acco
