Microsoft decided to patch once a month only. I wonder how people can be tired of that but not of the daily Linux distro fixes...

The title is misleading. All the items listed have nothing to do with GNU.  :)

BTW:
Of course Linux has bars similar to Windows. Or, in case of Ubuntu, OSX. Anyway, the whole thread leads into the wrong direction. Why switch when Windows fits my needs?

General Software Discussion / Re: VLC Coming to Android

Random rant:

VLC was - technically - never an outstandingly good player. The cumulative video quality with the "built-in" codecs - ffdshow IIRC? - is rather bad, visible artifacts and all that. Whenever I have to use VLC for anything, I choose "use system codecs" - also ffdshow for me -, and for some weird reason it has a significantly better quality then; but what's the point to use VLC then?

Oh, and its "200% volume" feature is ridiculous. Take the worst meaning of "loudness" you can imagine; VLC will make it even worse.

As the separator is user-defined and might as well be changed globally, depending on the implementation, it's OK.
But I do like 13, too.  8)

If anyone cares, theory is done. Now we'll head over to the actually complicated part.
