It's worth it.
Besides, if you're running Windows, why not have it?
When it's riddled with DRM and Certificate crap, it's not worth it. I've had some legitimate videos not work because of WMP10. It's not worth it really.. especially for something posted in here.

Man, I never have any of these problems people bitch and moan about. It's like I'm in the magic land where things work as advertised. NIX, INSTALL WMP10, YOU'RE GOING TO NEXT YEAR ANYWAY.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Good to hear at the end that the cat's doing okay. My first thought, of course, was of my favorite fictional kitty:

Folks, I've got some bad news. Owner running out of hope for missing two-faced male kitten Grove City woman thinks likelihood of survival is slim By Jeb Phillips The Columbus Dispatch Thursday, July 20, 2006 12:27 AM
The two-faced kitten of Grove City is still missing, and its owner has decided this won't end well.
The kitten disappeared on Friday, two days after it was born. It meowed simultaneously out of both mouths. The owner's son had named it Tiger, though that hadn't quite stuck before the kitten vanished.
The owner, Michelle Hickman, has developed a few theories about what might have happened, and none of them is pretty.
Her first theory is that the kitten's mother, Hannah, ate him. Hickman has tried to test that theory — she felt Hannah's tummy, and there wasn't any kind of bump. Hannah didn't have much of an appetite for days after she gave birth, so Hickman thinks it's unlikely that she would eat the kitten.
The second theory is that Hannah dragged Tiger outside and left him there. Again, Hickman has thought this through. Hannah doesn't have easy access to the outdoors, and surely if someone had let Hannah out, that person would have noticed the cat towing a two-faced kitten.
The third theory, and this is the one that Hickman likes best, is that someone stole Tiger. People from the neighborhood started knocking on Hickman's door as soon as they heard about the birth. The kitten was on television and in the Dispatch. Tiger and his two brothers were in a box in the living room — anyone who walked inside would have seen that.
Hickman had left a door unlocked not long before her husband noticed Tiger was gone. Their Chihuahua, Pepe, didn't bark at any intruders, but Pepe is a deep sleeper.
"You wouldn't believe how loud he snores," Hickman said.
Hickman hasn't filed a police report because she didn't want to get in trouble for filing a false one if Tiger turned up.
No matter the theory, Hickman thinks Tiger might be dead already.
He was having trouble eating in his first two days. He couldn't latch onto his mother, so Hickman bottle-fed him. But he still didn't seem to be getting enough milk, she said.
Dr. Gale Kerr, a veterinarian at Broadway Veterinary Hospital in Grove City, who did not know of Tiger until yesterday, said that the kitten probably died, unless someone took him.
Of Hickman's theories, Kerr said it was most likely that Hannah dragged Tiger away. Mother cats — mothers in lots of species — refuse to feed their progeny if they're sickly or deformed, she said. They'll shoo a kitten away from the litter to give the stronger kittens a better chance of survival. A kitten can't live very long without food.
Hannah probably didn't eat Tiger, Kerr said. She said she's heard stories of cats doing that but didn't know of one firsthand.
And even if someone took Tiger, he needs medical attention. A kitten with external deformities is more prone to internal problems than a normal-looking kitten, Kerr said.
There's not a single hopeful theory from Kerr or Hickman. But Hickman's family is still looking around the house for Tiger, just in case. http://www.columbusdispatch.com/news-story.php?story=199951

Awesome. Also, the girl has a bunch of YTMNDs that are also funny. Mostly.

I always wonder what such child actors think of all the comedy stuff going around the internet that's about them....

Oh. My. God. INSULIN... need... <hurk!> How old is she anyway? 10? 14? She looked older in the pirates thing. It seems like a fun kids show.

I think she's 14. The pedophiles on ytmnd scare me. Either that, or they're just 14 year old boys. I'd like to think it's the latter.

Yes, my reaction to the first video was "wtf?!! these 'awesome, can't stop watching it' people are paedophiles". Here is an interview with Julianna Rose Mauriello. And her Wikipedia entry.

Like H.R. Puffenstuff except with exercise instead of drugs. In short, it's fucked up, but in a different fucked up way from say The Teletubbies. Also, I think it's French. The actor who plays the main character Spartacus is French I think.
