I couldn't have said it better.
Corperation's first responsibility is to thier sock holders. It is all well and good that they can be on the right side here but it is thier job to make money. Not to uphold the rights of computer users.
It's some what unfair to compair Ogg to SDMI.
Ogg works now in WinAmp, Sonique and XMMS. For WinAmp it's as easy as downloading a plugin and double clicking the.ogg file to play it.
With plans to allow streaming ogg it can almost become a drop in replacement for MP3.
SDMI requires it's whole authentication sceme to play files.
The real barier to entry in a case like this is not the format but the changes the end users have to make. With Ogg there is little to none. With SDMI the end user is forced to adopt a new way of thinking about the music they listen to.
Another recent Machinima that I don't remember seeing/. report on is The Seal of Nehahra. It uses a modified Quake engen and has a playable mod along with it.
The movie itself tells the back story to Quake and is about 3 hours long but can be watched in parts.
I've been using computers since the C64 days, I'm not some windows pup that just hoped on yesterday.
If you would care to rephrase your comment in a non flaming mater I'm sure we could disscuss any ideas you may have as to how to get QT running properly on my computer. If you do not wish to be constructive you can kindly bugger off. =)
Granted WINE is already more stable than Win98, but QuickTime 4 under Win98 is totaly unstable in my expirance. Not to get off on a rant or any thing... It freeses on launch, when you hit play, when you close it, basicly any time it does any thing at all other than sit there. And it freeses then too. Of the 4 Windows boxes in my office none can play a QT movie on the first try, worst case is QT will lock up windows hard and you'll have to reboot a few times to play the movie. But that's just my expirance I may be wrong.
That is 100% against EVERthing open source, free software, and freedom of speach are all about. That is the worst form of sensorship IMHO, it's no better then when women weren't alowed to read The Bible, or forcing Blacks (insert proper PC term) from going to the same schools as whites.
I don't mean this as flaim bait but your comments are wrong, and very nearly biggoted.
If done right the standard should be implementable by the hardware's drivers (sound, video, etc.) Much like OpenGL can be. This alone could force MS to add support. (Much like OpenGL)
I'm going to get flamed for this I hope you don't take this as a flame. It's not ment to be one.
that they are created beings and that they are loved by their Creator unless they are homosexual. I couldn't argue with any thing you said up tot this point but this is just flat out wrong. You should read up a bit in your Bible, try some of the words of Jesus. It's not your place to judge them, and God loves them no matter what. Homosexuality may be wrong, but Gods love is uncontitional. It can't be earned, bought, or bargened for. Like all many other good things it free and open.
We've already got great states in the country, like Kansas, who are taking the proper step of banning the theory of evolution from the classroom. I'm actualy proud to live in Kansas, but we have NOT banned evolution, the state legislature just said that the teachers should chouse if any theory is worth teaching, Creation or Evolution.
We need to go one step further and ban movies and stories like this, because they advance the "idea" of life beyond Earth as being possible Hmmm... that would be censorship, The Bible is against censorship you know...
God loves me. He loves us all, even if we don't love Him back.
You joking around with your friend can NOT be prosicuted, because it must be "...with intent to annoy, abuse, threat or harass another person."
No DA in America would even bother to prosicute unless it was on a significantly large scale and they felt sure they could prove that you were intending to annoy, abuse, threat or harass.

A search of the Astronomy Picture Of the Day site has a binch more images and a few .gif movies of flybys.
Hmm I think we need an APOD slashbox...
Hasbro IS still selling these games.
They're mostly bargin bin/3in1 compilations under the title "Atari Clasics".

OpenGL is cross platform, This new standard (OpenML) partly extends OpenGL directly while also adding support for audio etc.
Winders? Them's those new fangled glass thangs ya see on them there new fangled houses.
Microsoft actualy hired some of the main VMS programers to build NT. As such NT's kernal has alot of similarity to the VMS kernal.

By default Eudora Pro 4.0 uses Microsofts email viewer.
Turn it off by going to the 'Tools' menu
Selecting 'Options...'
Then 'Viewing Mail'
And unchecking 'Use Microsoft's viewer'
