on: VLC 2.1.0
I'm not sure, but as an end-user, I'm comparing the two players on the out-of-the-box results I get when playing video. If VLC's codec library is inferior to the one on my Windows computer, then I won't use VLC unless I could easily import my proprietary codecs.

on: VLC 2.1.0
I've recently switched to Media Player Classic for watchign movies. I tried not to, because VLC works on Linux, but MPC's video quality is simply superior, when you put the two side-by-side you can see a difference...

so when I'm watching a movie, I will switch to Windows and play it on MPC. For everything else VLC is fine. Annoying, I've tried filters and other fixes, but nothing worked.

on: Say Hello to Rick Ross
And yet again you jump to conclusions involving race. Somebody says Oakland is dangerous, `oh you're putting African Americans down'. Another person states you shouldn't glorify a `criminal', you think it's because he's racist. Would you have posted that if Rick Ross had been White. Of course you wouldn't have. People like you, the hyper pc that will find racist connotations in every negative comment, like Al Sharpton, make everybody seem like a bad person for not being anti-white.

He explains his story in one of the best drug documentaries I've seen: ``How to Make Money by Selling Drugs'' (don't let the title fool you).
I watched it on YouTube, if it's available in your country, please do too.

on: Autism diagnoses are up 78% in 10 years. We're dramatically overdiagnosing it
Why does everyone always bring up the one kid they saw on YouTube banging his head on a wall as an example of autism?

on: Autism diagnoses are up 78% in 10 years. We're dramatically overdiagnosing it
The fact that it's considered an illness and needs a cure or special treatment is, though. I was actually diagnosed with Aspergers as a child (whether it was accurately done so or not, I don't care), and the thing that has had the most negative impact on my life wasn't the Autism, but the diagnosis itself. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, getting told something is wrong with you. And with things like ADD the `treatment' was almost always much worse than the condition itself.

I dunno, or care, but it's funny, there was an article posted here recently that was titled almost exactly `psychiatry is bullshit' and that got to the front page. It's not a conspiracy, it's incompetent doctors readily prescribing dangerous drugs to children for make believe illnesses. This has happened since the birth of medicine and will continue to do so.

on: Heathrow Airport recreates departure day 4x a year for young man with autism
One example... many airlines have a one bag policy, in most airports if you have an extra camera bag or small handbag, the staff will politely ask you to put it inside the bigger one or most of the time let you off, in London you can guarantee somebody will shout at you for it. It's not one particular thing, it's the general feel of the airport.

on: Heathrow Airport recreates departure day 4x a year for young man with autism
Always understaffed, bad organization (e.g. gates announced late), too small for the number of people it serves, particularly rude staff a lot of whom are on a power trip... I've seriously never had a bad experience that comes close to the average day in Heathrow.

Ten years ago it was ADD, now it's autism. Psychiatry is bullshit, and the pharmaceutical industry it drives is dangerous.

Who paid for this? I frequently fly from Heathrow and it's a horrible airport, run into service problems almost every time. Yet they can do all this for one person.

on: The Man Who Gets The Science Right On 'The Big Bang Theory'
I'm always surprised this show is popular among the user base here. From what I've seen it's aimed at 14 year old girls who think they are ``nerdy'' because they wear glasses and have a Nintendo t-shirt. Bazinga!

Yes it's normal for developers to do all of the work and for sales, marketing, finance, HR, the CEO, CTO, COO etc. to get all of the money.
