Hey boy, Kansas City is the technology center of the World. ALl VA has is... well, NOT HARDWARE. they've been firing people and downsizing like it's a fashionable thing to do.
I mean KC is OSM *and* Trollaxor territory, and there is no arguing with that. We run the Troll Cabal from the center of the nation, center of the continent, center of the hemishphere.
simplest way to go, i do it all the time. i use a comment extracting program to grab comments from the XML source, and get reports on all the check-in comments from CVS, and include those. Our custimers were never happier.
Having moved from OH to KS a while ago, and then purchasing a vehicle on a visit back to OH, I can share an anecdote regarding this.
In Kansas, they clipped the OH license upon handing me my KS license and told me to keep the OH license around in case I never needed a new KS license (it'd make it easier to do so should I ever lose my KS license). They told me that this began my new legal residence in KS and that the OH license was no longer valid.
In OH, when transferring the title on my new vehicle, they said as long as I don't try to use my OH license in OH (or anywhere, for that matter) I was OK. This is because I now hold primary residence in KS, and using the OH license as ID would be fraud.
Missouri and Kansas both have the same policy on that, but you're mistaken: you can opt against using your SSN and have a randomly(?) generated number used instead.
I opted against the SSN when I got mine after moving out here, but something tells me after a while, this national Db means you won't be able to opt against the SSN anymore...

I guess the gas method took quite a few years to do, but progress was fairly consistent. They got light town to airplane speed, race car speed, bicycle speed, and then stopped it altogether.
Fucntioned by super cooling a special gas in a chamber, and then shining a specialized laser (yeah, I don't know the specifics) through the gas, opening a pathway through it.
Light was then shined through this pathway, then the laser was cut, "trapping" the light in the gas. What actually happened was that this left an "imprint" in the cooled gas, and when the laser was beamed through the gas again, the imprint of light activated and the beam of light continued.
There was a serious issue with degradation though. The longer the light was trapped in the gas, the poorer the quality the beam of light was when it was reanimated.
Seems like this new method has improved immensely upon that weakness.
What kind if system are you running? I assume a PC with Windows. If it's the 9x line, get rid of that and install 2000 or XP. Much better experience.
And if you're looking at 30-second QuickTime init times, it sounds like you need more RAM or a faster processor, or both.
It looks like your PC is the source of your performance gripe, not QuickTime itself.
But I have to agree about the upgrade reminder window. It's annoying as Hell. $30 took care of it sooner than later because of that. It was well worth the money in either case.
or does it seem like Apple is severely slacking i this dept.?
QuickTime is great, in that it's a media layer, not just a format, so in theory Apple could be working alongside MS and Real while at the same time competing with them (from a technology standpoint, I am sure the marketing depts. of said companies would never let that happen).
I used Samba 2 as the basis of my CS senior project. It was maervelous technology then, and it's only gotten better since.
BTW, my senior project led to the use of Linux in our labs, as SMB was the only thing they really needed and had been looking at going to a *nix. My project deomnsrated that Linux with Samaba was the platform they needed to be on.

I have a ChumpUSA near me. They shouldn't be too far behind the 21st, since there are no Apple stores here.
I am more interested with the 14" iBook 600/100.
Ah, I really am reserving judgement til I see it IRL. But AFA this story goes it *seemed* like a good comment to make.
I think I heard somewhere he was gay and he and Steve Jobs bust each other in the ass frequently.
Consider the new iMac looks like an inverted testicle: doesn't it make sense?
About 5.25" floppy, ohhh, about, say, 8" turgid.
Maynard, please read me!
Maynard is a schmuck.

Nice post.
FYI the Pentium Pro was the first 686 core, while the 586 (Pentium) core was the first to include MMX. The Pro lacked MMX.
The Pentium II, in regards to your post, was basically the 686 core with MMX.
The Pentium III was a 686 core with MMX and SSE (also known as KNI, or "Katmai New Instructions" when it was first released).
ANd now supposedly the Pentium 4 is a 786-class core, the first true microarchitecural change to the Intel x86 line since the Pentium Pro.
Really? Where to? It has to be either Topeka, Witchita, or the Johnson Country (near KCMO) areas, unless they're hermits.

Called 1984.
10 years from now, we'll be hearing something like "Let me ssee your paperss" but phrased a little friendlier and without the German accent.
This is double-plus not good.

> Why not firewire? intel wants the market to move in this direction
Uhh, huh?
I take it you've never heard of USB 2.0?
Intel can deal with FireWire / iLink / IEEE 1492, but it'd prefer USB 2.0 be used instead.
The last I'd read, TiVo was based on an IBM 405-series core and ran LinuxPPC.
I see a lot of older TiVos getting sold on eBay, as this new TiVo is probably what most G1 TiVo owners were waiting for in terms of an upgrade.
So this is Good News for us PowerPC hackers who want a cheap box to play with.

I had a big thing for physics and the overlapping electronics fields, and started off in school as a physics major.
That changed after a semester to EE, and then to CS from there my second year
You were close.
Interesting.
I guess the gas method took quite a few years to do, but progress was fairly consistent. They got light town to airplane speed, race car speed, bicycle speed, and then stopped it altogether.
Here's a link to the Bottomquark writeup on it, and here's the article itself.

What version of QuickTime is it? Get rid of QuickTime16 and QuickTime32 and grab QuickTime 5.0.2.
Upgrading DirectX helps too; QuickTime interfaces with DirectX for sound and graphics.

Kudos to the programmers.
