Yep. Except for the VLC window being on screen. Since VLC is actually a virus and I like to keep a virus-free machine.

Might be true of QT7, but not QT6. I've never had much joy with VLC.

On topic, I've only just noticed that video keeps playing while Expose does its stuff. Sweet. More stuff to annoy Windows users with.

VLC has been playing nice with multi-channel audio interfaces since about version 0.8.1.

That was the only beef I've EVER had with the program, and it's been fixed a while now.

Odd.

I've never had any problems.

True that. A ex-friend (English) really hates them. But he's an a-hole commie, hence being an ex-friend.

Hmmm... I think this calls for a pic of Marianne Denicourt. Yummy.

The thread was basically about him (and others who do the same). The thread title:re-banning those who circumvent being banned says it all. As you can see by the it was a a good discussion on banning, multiple accounts and how best to manage them.

Good ****ing question. I wasn't doing anything wrong, then poof. Reason for ban: None. Fun. Apparently tooki did it, and I talked a bit with him last night. He's super pissed off for some reason, and he claims it's ban evasion since I've evaded bans so many times. Whatever. Look out SWG! You could be next! Then he claimed it was because I wasn't breaking rules, but I was being 'rude'. So look out every member in the lounge except WDLove, you could be next. Hell hath no fury like Tooki's scorn for banning people who didn't do anything wrong. Anyway, we'll see if he changes his tune after the next week or so. I'm out of school tomorrow.

Sparky, with all the posting you do, I think daily you come up with enough reasons for a ban, I'd more be glad that they're too lazy to ban every new SN you make.

Dude, you don't even take a hint when it's beat into your excuse for a semblance of consciousness with a ****ing banhammer literally hundreds of times.

That's just seriously mental, Rob.

It's the principle of the thing. I wasn't doing anything wrong, I was just posting some Xmas pictures, doing whatever, and POOF. I'm banned. Why? Ban evasion. That's ********. I wasn't doing anything wrong, and so we'll see who can be more stubborn. Me. Or tooki. I beat Wlonh back in the day.

That will look good on your tombstone: "I was more stubborn than a mod on an Internet forum".

Way to go, Rob.
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Rob, you probably still have bans in effect. Just because you come in with a new account, does not mean you aren't banned anymore.

You don't play the victim very well.

Rob ban evasion IS doing something wrong. And you do things wrong ALL THE TIME and don't realize it. Or don't care.
