[MPlayer-users] firewalls needed :)

It's the Question that drives us, D J Hawkey Jr :

Be exact.

Be exact.

Absolutely.

Learn how to read.

--($:~/mplayer/src)-- ./configure --help | grep gui
  --enable-gui           enable GUI [disable]

Be exact.

Yes, but luckily only for eastern people like us.

Is that west^H^H^H^Hyour way?


> How about 1) more communication between you (docs) and A`rpi, et.al.
Do you know how much we communicate?

How? Be exact.

   Use only at your own risk! There may be errors and inaccuracies that could   
   be damaging to your system or your eye. Proceed with caution, and although   
   this is highly unlikely, we don't take any responsibility for that!

There are 2 types of OSS people. Some get frustrated. Some don't. The latter
ppl make MPlayer's success. You are the former. Join the other guy and
head for xmps. (has nice /matter of taste/ GUI!)

Don't make a fool of yourself. Why would A'rpi be interested in talking to
constantly whining users like you?


> Doesn't this tell you something?
Sure. I really should stop trying not-to-ban you.
