OMG. The Linux Hater fucked up! He got p0wned! He forgot about codec-buddy, one of Ubuntu's great achievements over Windows.
Uh huh. I knew I shouldn't have started that shit with you guys.
If y'all just take one giant fucking step back, you'd maybe notice that 99% of the computing population doesn't even fucking know what a codec is. And you know what, they don't give a shit. You see, they go to youtube, or abc.com, or hulu, click a few buttons, and they're watching the stuff they want to see.
