  1. Re:Of course the tools stink, it's a Mac. on How Good Of A Unix Is Mac OS X ? · · Score: 1

    Hmm. Apache. What else do you want apart from QuickTime? Let me get this right, we get Linux people complaining that it's not available, yet also complaining when it's the standard on another platform. You also seem to be forgetting that QuickTime is far more than a media playback utility. It underpins the whole OS, and that while the player is. at times, a piced of shit, the underlying technology is still amazing. The player is, of course, nothing more than a front end for the technology, and anyone who wanted to could provide a replacement, as happened a few years ago with "Peter's Player". The TCP/IP stack is the one from Darwin, which is based upon FreeBSD, so do something about it and put in a replacement into the CVS ( http://publicsource.apple.com ) rather than just complaining about it!

  2. Re:Semantics only. on Is UNIX An OS? · · Score: 1

    You mean like QuickTime. The services provided by QuickTime are available to any application on the Mac (I'm not sure about Windows), so any new filter that is added to QT, will become immediatly available to any App that supports QT. Thus, it is more than a branded "Media Player" in it's own window, which is what the QuickTime Player is. (Ugh, brushed metal.)

    The Beige G3's have SCSI, the only ones that don't are the coloured computers.
