People are special.

When the cops say it's okay to smoke at a traffic stop, they usually mean tobacco.

This comic is funny.

Almost all of the rest of them are not work-safe, but this one is work-safe. Fun!

Seasonal Friday Tradition!

Alice Cooper does Christmas Carols.

So, what's next? Death metal "Silent Night, Holy Night"? Or maybe Lemmy doing "Run Rudolph Run"?

Stupid programmers and stupid interface designers.

So, due to a security hole in the old version, I patched VLC Media Player to the latest version, today.

BIG MISTAKE.

Now, I can't get it to display fullscreen video on my second monitor. Monitor #1, sure, fullscreen away. Monitor #2, no.

Previously, I moved the player onto monitor #2, hit the fullscreen button, and it went fullscreen on THE MONITOR I SELECTED.
Now, it "helpfully" goes fullscreen on MY PRIMARY MONITOR.

Regardless of the fact that monitor #1 is a 14.1" laptop screen and monitor #2 is a 37" HDTV.

Help me, interweb. Why did VideoLan get stupid, and how to I fix their broken-ass product?

EDIT: It's a bug in 0.9.8a. Reverting to 0.9.6 fixes it. And leaves me vulnerable to the buffer overflow in malformed .rm files, but that's okay, since I never use RealAnything and I play video files not of my own creation only very rarely.
