Ah, I just could not resist answering Big Mac^htt.  I swear, he's
driving tears to my eyes.  Haven't enjoyed reading or writing mails that
much in ages.

Matt,

you're hilarious!  Let me assure you, you have put a serious dent in
MPlayer productivity while we all need to recover from laughing our
behinds off ;-p

ROTFLMAO.  Priceless.  We've been accused of everything over the years,
but communists?!?  And the best part - *UN* ?!?  I'm still shaking with
laughter half a week after reading this.

Do your work, don't install MPlayer.  Watching movies will only keep you
from doing your work.

We're also very glad you're not installing it.  We provide it as free
software for everyone to use, but we're only human, we _do_ like some of
our users more than others :)

You sure have the best comedians.  Make laugh, not war.
