How I now it. And if it's bonus time they almost double it... (the taxes that is). Here, a bonus is taxed 68%... .
And I wouldn't even mind as long as they did something useful with it... (we can only dream)

Even blowing it all on a day at the races is making better use of the money than the Government will make of it - at least going to the races harms no one.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I've been wanting a PC app that displays and allows me to play media from several sources (like Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, Google Play, local files, etc.). I haven't been able to find anything that fits what I want. I tried XBMC (now Kodi), and it doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for.
Do you have any suggestions? Or should I just buy an Apple TV? Or heck, write my own software? (I've had the urge to do that recently, too, so I'm willing to give it a go.)

Write your software... Add small blocks of controls, load content from different sources in it (probably API would be used) and give it a go. Good thing about this method is, that even if the user-experience is worst, user-interface is worst, you still would love it. Because its you who will make it. 
Go for it.

Thanks for the suggestion.
If I ever do get around to it, I want to make it open-source, and attempt to provide weekly updates until I deem it "finished"... or until the community takes over. Whatever comes first.

Pretty hard for any of us to make serious suggestions when we don't know what it is that "fits what you want". XBMC/Kodi seems to keep some people happy. So what is it you're after that it doesn't have?

It seems to be a small pain getting a plugin for Netflix in there for now. Besides that, the interface feels a bit clunky, and I want to be able to create playlists with media from multiple sources.

But is there one available at all? Seems to me like a one-time pain-point might be acceptable.
drummerboy0511 wrote: Besides that, the interface feels a bit clunky
Can't help ya there. I don't think I've ever cross any sort of media player that had a "great" interface for all purposes--but to be fair, I don't know how I'd go about designing one myself.
drummerboy0511 wrote: and I want to be able to create playlists with media from multiple sources.
I thought XBMC had tons of plugins...surely there's something that'll let you do that? Or, in the worse case scenario, can it not use playlists created from another machine?
In case you haven't guessed already, I don't really have much experience with it myself. Or any particular media player in general...I pretty much gave up on the idea years ago. Do follow up if you find something worthwhile...

There are at least two, but I couldn't get at least one of them to work. I may not have even tried the other one.
dandy72 wrote: thought XBMC had tons of plugins...surely there's something that'll let you do that?
Perhaps. I haven't looked into it myself. I figured that it probably didn't exist. I'll follow up if I find anything.
dandy72 wrote: Do follow up if you find something worthwhile...
Will do, provided I remember.
If I did write software for it, and made it open-source, would anyone here be willing to help?

That's a good question. I did have some interest in this sort of app at one time, but not so much these days, TBH. But a plugin is probably the way to go IMO rather than re-implement yet another media player from scratch.

A Japanese couple is arguing about how to perform highly erotic sex:
Husband: "Sukitaki. Mojitaka!"
Wife replies: "Kowanini! Mowi janakpa!"
Husband says angrily: "Toka a anji rodi roumi yakoo!"
Wife, on her knees, literally begging: "Mimi nakoundinda tinkouji!"
Husband shouts angrily: "Na miaou kina Tim kouji!"
I can’t believe you just sat there trying to read this - you don’t know Japanese (some do but will quickly realize that it is not Japanese). 
You'll read anything as long as it’s about sex.... You need serious help!!! 
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. – Buddha

Your attention needs to be marked as a Spammer, eh?

the joke makes no sense, you are using the third person feminine without enough inflection on the forth syllable this combined with an over emphasise on the first syllable completely changes the structure and the meaning.
and as for "T*m k**ji" do read the rules and keep this kid sister friendly, tut tut, such bad language

Since English is not my native language and it makes perfect sense to you, could you give us a translation?
