[osflash] new free HD Player

[Hans Elgelid]

Also highjacking, everybody highjack.
So many questions come to life when talking about new, free, HD Players 
on open source flash.
Long time since, sorry for generalizing, 3 so crisp big word opinions 
about open source where mingled. (quite often blackwhite).
But isn't free and anarchy similar to right while Nazism and Communism 
is similar to left?
Open source 5678...

Clement Godwin and  Schell you are crazy 
tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Sounds like old school politics, GPL and shit. Everything is not Linux.

I heard Bill Gates was in Africa and a psychology scientist here in 
Gothenburg told me he visited San Fransisco and they almost voted for 
the police to wear clown suits.
Is that true?
Viva San Fransisco and Happy New Year Adobe!

Finally rapping from a keyboard (hate it) but...
Why do you have to include Itunes when automagically upgrading 
Quicktime? (Warning Apple and Itunes renames your files :( )
Why is Hip Hop and Ragga so hard nowadays?
Or is it ?
Or is it just the truth?

++++++++
