The new iMovie supports HD camcorders and 16:9 widescreen formats. It's available January 22nd either bought separately or with any new macs bought after that.
No reason why you can't output to QuickTime or DV and then use a program to change the DV to something else (I often use D-Vision to create Xvid AVIs). What formats did you have in mind?
I believe the new iDVD lets you create menuless DVDs as well. Comes in the same box as the version of iMovie I mentioned above.
The new iDVD does let you output the DVD to a disk image
Looks to me like your gripes have all been answered. If you have any other questions, you can feel free to ask me -- I'm pretty handy at Mac video editing for an amateur.
I think it was a case of the language in the article summary above being a bit vague. It should've said "how mammals and birds diverged from their common ancestor" -- at least that's what the article says.
Oh, and the mammal/bird common ancestor predates the dinosaurs, FYI.
Something along the lines of Access (though with a better DB engine that Access), FileMaker, Paradox, etc., would be nice.
It should use local files (so you don't need to have a server running, although that could be an option) and have an easy to use form layout system. I don't want to have to administer a database daemon, and I don't want to have to have to hand-hack code for a simple database.
I have mucked around for a while looking for something like this. The closest I've seen in Rekall, but it looks like it still needs to hook up to an external database of some kind, as best as I can tell.
RI could be just taking advantage of its proximity to MA, I guess. Real estate is a LOT cheaper in RI, and it's easy enough to drive to MA to work with other people in the tech industry.
I for one speak as someone who lives in RI yet works in MA basically because I'm too cheap to buy MA real estate.:P
Actually, if I remember correctly, the treaties behind NATO say that other members of NATO aren't required to participate in any wars occurring between other NATO nations. So your point is moot, if still somewhat amusing.
That's not necessarily true. There's a product I work on at my job that presents itself as a Unix filesystem without a kernel driver. It does this by setting itself up as an NFS server and running entirely in user mode. While there are some things where you'd want to create a filesystem driver, version control isn't one of them in my opinion.
$1000 for one seat? What version are you getting and where are you buying it? You can get Visual C++, which is all you need to compile most open source stuff, for $100 so or from places like PC Connection. If you look hard enough you may find it cheaper elsewhere.
You're kidding, right? One of the most annoying things about ClearCase is that it requires a kernel-mode driver to run (and that also makes it a bitch to get up and running).
That said, Subversion uses a database, not a filesystem, for its underlying device -- although the database is structured like a filesystem. Also when you check out files, you just check them out as normal directories on your local file system.
CVS has nothing to with sharing code (although it can be used for that, but that's not its primary purpose). CVS is a version control system, more akin to something like Visual Source Safe.
Basically, it serves two functions. First, it tracks changes made to files in your source tree, so that if the latest tracked version of a particular piece of code is broken, you can compare it to or even roll back to an older version of the code to either work around or diagnose what broke. Second, it allows multiple users to work on the same file at the same time without stepping on each others toes too much. This works by having each user check out a copy of the code from the main repository which contains the "master" copies of the code. When they're done working on the code they can check it back in to the repository where (often with a little human intervention) the changes are merged with the most recent copy stashed in the repository.
Part of that does involve a central server to store repository in -- on a local network this is could often be a commonly accessable directory or mounted drive off of a WinServer/SMB or NFS server. CVS also allows for internet checkouts and checkins, which is how a lot of open source stuff is handled.
CVS and other version control programs have lots of other features I haven't mentioned here, such as branches, labels, etc., but I figured this gives you a good idea of what's going on.
Actually, if you look at the headers, most of the spam that looks to be from Hotmail or Yahoo aren't infact from them -- they just forge Hotmail or Yahoo return addresses.
That said, not having seen the actual spam you receive, I don't know if this is the case in your particular situation or not. However, this is the most common case.
Might I suggest OSX VNC? The last release was September 17, 2003, so it would seem that it is currently being actively maintained. Of course, that's only the server. If you need a client, well, there's Chicken of the VNC. Last version was released January 16, 2003.
Well, I wouldn't say that MacOS before OS X was pure crap -- just horribly dated. Compared to its original contemporaries (early versions of Windows, for instance), it was probably the best GUI OS (with the possible exception of the Amiga) available. It's just that it failed to evolve with the times and got horribly outdated.
Actually, assuming your Maxtors are IDE, you should be able to stick them into any PowerMac (the tower ones) just fine, given the limtations of the IDE bus (2 drives per controller), of course.
I have no idea how good Genie's security is, but the documents associated with the suit indicate that Craftsman garage door openers are just rebranded Chamberlain/Liftmaster openers.
Actually, both Klingons and Romulans have Birds of Prey. The Romulans had them first in the original series -- the Klingons then got one in the third movie.
The Romulans got Warbirds in TNG. Presumably they still have some Birds of Prey flying around as well, however the BoP was much smaller than a Warbird, and probably serves much different roles.
Alt+F7 is a pure Linux trick, though I think some of the BSDs may have used it as well.
I think to get to GUI mode you need to log out of console mode, although I admit I never tried this trick myself -- just heard about it from a friend.:)
I was hoping for something a bit more substatial than that excuse, like "It's missing such-and-such API" or even "the default file system isn't case-sensitive."
You can get a command-line login from the GUI, however, by using >console as the username on the GUI login screen. Good enough for you? I'm sure someone could probably figure out a clever hack to allow you to bypass the whole GUI period.

Yeah, if the Linux tools do what you need and you're fine with using them, go ahead and stick with them.
Still, for the others out there who haven't decided, at least they know those issues have been fixed.
NeXT is a BSD-derived Unix, though. I fail to see what you'd be debating. :)

Not even Microsoft uses Source Safe -- they use something called Source Depot which I heard is based on Perforce or something.

Isn't Peter Jackson from New Zealand?

Do a search for VNC on www.versiontracker.com. Happy now?

Oh, and I'd pay money to see the Wave Motion Gun opened up on SCO HQ myself. Hell, I'll bring the popcorn and drinks. Let's make a party out of it.

Not sure about the card, however.
ncftp is a command-line client that shows you your download progress.
