This is one of my all-time favorite Onion articles. ""We had just given thanks to Allah for this glorious means to destroy the Great Satan once and for all, when [sub-lieutenant] Mahmoud [Ghassan] asked, 'So, what's the next step?'" Akhtar said. "I was at a loss.""

"Morale was temporarily buoyed when cell member Dawoud Bishr, a former student at the Sorbonne in Paris, was found intently examining the exposed plutonium, which he had lifted from its protective lead footlocker. Two days later, however, the others had to bury Bishr in a landfill outside the city."

Q: "The home of Angela Suleman, mother to Nadya Suleman and grandmother to her 14 children, went into default earlier this month. What do you think?" A: "It's okay. They can just live in her daughter's huge vagina."

Quite slow on older machines, and memory hungry. Video player isn't champion of compatibility. But nice concept.

I've always steered clear of BitTorrent until now. JP (@jobsworth) floated Miro 2.0 across my screen yesterday and I am already hooked. All I want to do now is find an easy way to move .avi files to my Apple TV (at the core of my multimedia system at home) and I will be even happier man.

Miro is a big part of my DIY home theater set-up

I've been a Miro fan for a while, but have to admit I haven't used it much lately. It seems like a relic from the era where we needed to actually download video-- everything is flash streaming these days.

Flash streaming doesn't make for a good big screen experience, IMO
- Robert Hafer
However, if you don't need Miro but you like the resume playback feature, give a try to SMPlayer. Better than VLC. </OT>

Been using Miro for quite a while now. After loading XBMC on an Xbox, I still let Miro do the downloading and use the Xbox as a media extender. Haven't tried the new URL capability to stream Hulu yet though. Might get me back to viewing from Miro more.

Checking it out. Going to see what's up with this player.

looking forward to 2.0, I use Miro almost every day :)

Been using the standard Miro for a while and it is pretty good. so will try the new one

Seems Cool, but it does not work on my PC; I used HULU.com once. My goal is to make a HTPC and use streaming video to watch on my TV.

I have no problem with BitTorrent, but what I want to know is if Miro's BitTorrent is up-and-running whenever Miro is. IOW, does just having Miro open mean I'm participating in BT? Does that question make sense? I don't want to be streaming content OUT without knowing that I'm doing that.

grrr I can't use MIRO it crashes everytime I open it..for torrents I use VUZE, I used to use Utorrent, which I think is actually a bit faster, but VUZE there are more fun thing to play with...btw is that really you LEO LAPORTE...remember watching you on TECHTV..Call4Help and Screensaver were my fav shows!
