Windows has a plugin architecture for audio and video codecs called DirectShow filters. I recommend ffdshow.

Dear ;

We couldn’t get you the pony due to concerns from our animal rights working group, and despite our best results in a long time, winning even a minority government seems to remain out reach. But if it will provide any solace at all, we would like to draw your attention to the earnest and intelligent young man (Marion Dewar’s boy, no less) whom you and your fellow constituents have seen fit to elect to Ottawa Centre.

Never say we didn’t give you nothing.

Best,

When I was in high school (Sheppard and Bathurst area, North York), the local ML candidate came to the school to pass out literature. One of my classmates looked at the screaming headline “MAKE THE RICH PAY” and said “my dad is in the 86% tax bracket. I think we already do pay.” And she wasn’t even the one who drove a brand new Mercedes 450SEL to school.

I dunno! (You know how much I use Windows for desktoppy things.) Anonymous comments are screened, though, so I just unscreened it now, so hopefully someone else coming by here will tell you.

D’oh! I have to learn to check whether I’m logged in before blithely posting LJ comments. Not that you would have a hard time figuring out who this anonymous coward from Serbia might be, of course….

Can you suggest a good DivX client for (ugh) Windows to someone recently (and temporarily) returned to low-latency-broadband-land? WMP, Quicktime and Real all claimed to know nothing about how to play this file….

Um, yes.

I once dated one of those undergraduate socialist lesbian types. Hearing her friends talk about all the various sub-groups just made me want to yell “Splitters!” and smack them all with a cricket bat. And yes, we’d always get a couple on the ballot paper every election… each differing by probably about one nano-principle from the next.

But this is the real parties! In the same riding!
