You cannot do everything on a PC that you can do on a Mac. I bought my first Mac a month ago for the quality of entry level video editing. Within one day I had burned a DVD of my most recent ski vacation with edits and a soundtrack. I tried this for a long time on my PC which was supposedly more powerful and was never satisfied with the results. At one point I upgraded my PC to Windows XP and found it was incompatible with my Microsoft Mouse!
It is also not possible to do this on Linux, I tried that to. After finally getting firewire to work I found that there were too many incompatible file formats. Maybe you can get it to work but I'm tired of tinkering every night.
My SGI Irix machine worked fine. HELL! it is just 1 180MHZ RK500 and still seems faster than my PC but I could only get a 4 gig hard drive.
Everything else I've discovered that I love (iTunes, iPod, iPhoto) is just gravy.
IRIX is no longer a first tier operating system. New versions of Oracle (just for example) come out for Solaris and (shudder) HP long before (if ever) they come out for IRIX.
IRIX is even starting to lose focus on GNU projects.
I don't think they'll ever recover that status. It is a shame.
The only bright spot (for me) is that I can pick up an O2 on EBAY pretty cheap.
I don't want to turn Slashdot into a stuffy and proper kind of place. However, that particular error has always irked me for some reason. Sometimes I think they do it on purpose.

Since you play nintendo with your thumbs, don't you mean "No opposible fingers?"
I thought it was funny. At least a 4.
Well spoken.
So the wuck fhat.
Well put. This is not a matter of bringing criminal to justice. Most of them are dead anyway. We need to make sure this cannot happen again.
Same planet, different worlds.
This is not a legal matter. I don't want to "bring these people to justice." I want to ensure that nobody can ever do this again. This is war.

Groth's feelings are much different than McCloud.

If only they would use their powers for niceness, instead of evil.
"More often THAN not, ...."
With comparisons of inequality it's incorrect to use then. In other words, it is "..... support you betther THAN anyone else."
