Or, if you already have a folder full of images named Picture 01.jpg, Picture 02.jpg, or img001, img002, or what have you, you can use the Open image sequence... command of QuickTime Pro which will ask for the desired frame rate and open the series automatically into a new quicktime movie, which can then be exported to whatever format you feel like.
OS X runs on PearPC, so I don't see why it wouldn't be able to run on any other generic PPC hardware with some tweaking (licensing issues notwithstanding)
There is a lot of discussion on the legality of allofmp3.com - from what I've gathered they only have distribution rights in Russia, making international downloads legally dubious...
Yes I found it the other day, it's lovely. As a matter of fact I'm now using it as my WinME replacement. And it's free! You can download it here! I can't seem to get FireFox installed tho...
There's no debate at all. The point of music is to listen to it, not to look at pretty graphs all day. Therefore the logical method of picking the most effective lossy compression algorithm is to have a large group of people listen to all the samples (double blind), and rate what sounds best. Which is actually what has been done here.
What you are describing is as absurd as comparing JPEG codecs by looking at histograms and pixel plots of the images. The eye (and ears) just don't work like that, and when you're limited to something like 128kbps, a lot of the time you'll find that you end up with a better sound by, say, killing some frequencies rather than trying to preserve them and leaving less data for more important ones.
I can assure you a 128kbps mp3 with no low pass filter will sound much worse than one with a 16 or 17khz filter applied.
Sorry, hydrogenaudio already debunked that one - ogg came second last out of a test including WMA (9), QuickTime AAC, Musepack, Vorbis and LAME. And this one is a bit more sophisticated than doing a frequency analysis too. http://www.rjamorim.com/test/128extension/results. html
I'm sure they don't want to produce a cure; they're much happier feeding HIV and AIDS victims expensive treatments to prolong their life as much as possible.
Producing a cure would close off that avenue of income.
As a homosexual who practices safe sex, I agree 100%. I have encountered and spoken to these people who like to do bareback, and they are not all there upstairs, as shown by this log.
The most scary part is that you'd never know if they were into doing that sort of thing or not. And how old is this guy? 22! gahhhhhhhhh!
QuickTime (since 6) on Mac OS X has full support for encoding and decoding JPEG 2000 images. I assume you could even use them in a web page and it would work as the QuickTime plugin would decode the image. Preview and any other QuickTime aware application should be able to decode and compress JPEG 2000 without any modification.
Why the fuck would any normal human being want a copy of linux, of all things, being burned while sitting down for a nice coffee at Starbucks? Honestly, no wonder people are scared of Linux - just look at the sanity of the userbase! Talk about detached from reality...
As I do, if you've ever taken it apart you'll notice there is quite a bit of space left in there. The battery is quite thin. I've often wondered if you could just buy another battery from say www.ipodbattery.com and install it internally, coupled in parallel with the original one. (same voltage, twice the capacity) Any EE's could verify if this would work?
You must have only used it for 10 minutes. To correct an arbitrary word:
1. Tap and hold next to the word until the pointer turn into a large dot. Then drag over the word to select it.
2a. Rewrite the word. or,
2b. Double in the selected word and select the correct word out of the list, or click the keyboard button to enter it with the on-screen keyboard, or click the underlined a and just rewrite the incorrect letter.
Let's see, that's 3 ways to do it. You claim there are none. Do yourself a favour and give your Newton to someone who cares enough to spend 30 minutes discovering how to use it, instead of talking out of their ass.
Just a couple of questions: Was it difficult to reverse engineer the pinouts of the hard drive? And would it be possible to make an iPod HD connector to standard ATA drive converter? I have a 1G ipod with a dead HD and I''d LOVE to build a converter and hook an 80gig HD up to it:)
Yes, nothing like RAID 0 for any amount of drives. 16 you say? That's hmm, 16x the probability that a drive will fail and leave your array useless! A drive WILL fail within 12 months - because I can guarantee you most drives will probably fail with 16 years of constant use. YAY! All those hours of DVD ripping and organizing for nothing.
RAID 0 is horrible for anything but video scratch. For this application you'll want RAID 5 or 3 (RAID 5 is redundancy spread across the array, RAID 3 has one drive dedicated for redundancy.)
The proper way to do this would be a hardware RAID array but those are expensive $1500 at least for a decent rack + controller. Infortrend make some nice stuff, but it's not cheap. The EonStor range is lovely. I'm mostly experienced on the high end and mac side of things, but there may be software based RAID 3 or 5 solutions for windows/linux. YMMV however, but it's generally not recommended as computing parity is very processor intensive. The controllers the Infortrend stuff uses is a PPC G3 to give you an idea...
ps. I don't work for Infortrend but I just know they make damn good shit.
Call me an Apple fanboy, but in the event that I decided to buy a PC notebook, I don't think I could stomach any of them. The closest to acceptable I have seen are the Thinkpads. Is there anyone that makes an x86 based notebook without:
a) stupid clashing colours (red, blue, or green on silver or black)
b) useless multimedia keys with a whole button dedicated to launching the manufacturers website
c) stupid plastic latches on every edge to get caught on something and broken
d) fucking annoying buttons to control every possible aspect of the computer (CD-ROM play/stop/ff/volume/brightness/power/mute)
e) gaudy decals cheaply stuck all over the machine (intel inside, designed for windows x)
f) big honking colored legacy ports (no, I don't want a parallel port on my notebook, nor a serial port, nor a PS/2 port)
g) ugly protruding latches sticking out of the display
h) ugly two/three tone colour scheme (ooooh let's make the area around the trackpad and keyboard dark grey, and the rest of it silver! And a red eraser nub for the secondary pointing device and random keys blue!)
The scary thing is I have gotten most of these rants by looking at the thinkpad R40e setting next to me, and I generally find thinkpads the least visually offensive of the lot! Also, does anyone else but Apple make slot loading optical drives on notebooks?
I've used a KVM w/ both 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 and have had no problems. The trick was to use "IMPS/2" as the mouse protocol instead of "Auto". That, along with your ZAxisMapping option should be all you need to get it to work. Assuming of course your KVM is ps/2.
And I was promised flying cars! Where are my goddamn flying cars?
Honestly I think you'll be waiting quite a while for that Matrix-esque ability, I mean the predictive text input on my T610 can't even get it right 1/2 the time so I shudder to think how long it would take to develop some sort of brain interface...
Apparently Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X doesn't support the.asx file format. (yay, innovation, do we see QuickTime 6.5 complaining about.mov files created with QuickTime 1.6? noooo)
Wow, and if all you care about is how much GB you can get for your $$$, according to PriceWatch, for $259 you can get a whole 300GB space! Thanks Maxtor! that Rio Karma was a real rip off!

They already use Sony drives in the later iMacs...

I never claimed it was the cheapest way, just the best way.

Yes, flame me to hell, you know you want to.
Yes, but how long did it take to copy a 17mb file?

It's not so much that it can't accept both, it's that it can't switch modes on the fly like the G4's and below could, only at boot time.
