Felker, whats your problem ? I can normally smell a wanker if i meet
one, even in the internet. I have no idea why my sensors were failing on
you in first instance, probably because you are hiding your stupid and
immatured insulting behind technical argumentation. In the end you're
nothing but a poor, socially handicapped person, unable for normal
communication and hiding behind the anonymity of the internet. Somebody
pay this guy a psychologist, he needs one desperately.
You feel this mailing list is your 'private area' and you can insult
people and their work here at will ? Well, this ML has a public archive
accessible via HTTP, and everybody can subscribe to it and read your
comments, so this thinking is complete BS.
Core developer or not, i fail to understand how the other developers of
both the FFMPEG and the mplayer projects can tolerate your behaviour.
You are throwing mud on the projects you are contributing to when
behaving like this, and that means their work is put into the dirt and
miscredited also.
I am copying this email to the Vorbis user list, and i sincerely hope
some brave Xiph zealot people living in the States succeeds to find out
your real life adress and has a word with you about the very necessary
respect for Monty's work. We also had our doubts if Ogg is a good
container design for video handling, thats why we started our project,
but we will wait until Monty will present the final Ogg Theora specs
before we make any comments, and for sure we would not even think of
using a similar language as you are doing constantly. Its unfair to
judge Ogg's capabilities from OGM, as this project admittedly was a
quick hack IMHO, made from a 'stupid DirectShow kiddie' , to use your
very own words, and thus very Windows centric.
Its a pitty i wont be in the States before April, i really loved to be
together with some Xiph people when they are talking to you,
contributing some good old, handmade Bavarian arguments. You should
learn, and hopefully soon, that it can be painful to insult other people
and their work .... in a real life !!!!
no regards
Christian
<p><p>P.S. Explanation for Xiph people : He has been doing the very
same with
other projects on the mplayer-dev-eng ML, and repeatedly, most notably
without even having understood the basics of the specs in most cases.
Sorry for the ranting on a public mailing list, but enough is enough.
P.P.S. And please, dont swob their new MPCF ( MPlayer Container Format )
with our old MCF project, they have nothing in common and its mere
coincidence that both sound similar.
