d756279ea665 I liked this mail very much gabucino parents: 2117 diff changeset	95 <P>Unfortunately MPlayer is out of our control. It's used by lamers, Linux users

1dde9686d33b Good evening ladies and gentleman and welcome to the latest arpi parents: 5498 diff changeset	97 (with default options) Mandrake or Red Hat or SuSE, and without RTFM'ing they
1dde9686d33b Good evening ladies and gentleman and welcome to the latest arpi parents: 5498 diff changeset	98 send messages saying 'it doesn't work! help me! please! i'm new to Linux!

1dde9686d33b Good evening ladies and gentleman and welcome to the latest arpi parents: 5498 diff changeset	109 very bad because we don't like buggy gcc 2.96, and on the other side there are

d756279ea665 I liked this mail very much gabucino parents: 2117 diff changeset	114 <P>Maybe we should close the project, make it closed source, commercial, and
d756279ea665 I liked this mail very much gabucino parents: 2117 diff changeset	115 provide install support for it. then we could leave current work, so
5699 1dde9686d33b Good evening ladies and gentleman and welcome to the latest arpi parents: 5498 diff changeset	116 development could go faster, and we could earn lots of money with it and buy a
1dde9686d33b Good evening ladies and gentleman and welcome to the latest arpi parents: 5498 diff changeset	117 big house, etc etc. Do you really want it? It seems.</P>
