is one of the coolest scientific apps out for OS X right now. It takes some time to wrap your head around it, but with a little work, you can be writing your own 3D OpenGL simulations...!
Yeah, but what Dynamic Ornamental Appearance will the new 802.11g cards have? Maybe they will change color when your credit card number is being wirelessly intercepted.
I think you forgot to make the now obligitory Yakov Smirnoff reference; although, in your defense, "In Soviet Russia, "Poisk" ("Search") computers manufacture you" is just not that punchy.
Who cares, as long as they keep "Home Movies" -- it's the funniest and most enjoyable show on television, hands down. Along with the Daily Show, it's one of the last two reasons I keep cable.
Sten is exactly right... as far as ways to lock down OS 8/9 go, Foolproof is pretty darn good. I'd look over the manual again, as there's plenty of ways to lock down a system using it.
A rumor I heard Way Back In The Day(TM) was that the operating system after Gershwin (OS 10!) was supposedly code named "Zorn", a reference to the incredible downtown NYC avant-garde saxophonist John Zorn. There is essentially no known information about the vaporware OS, and given the state of Copland and Gershwin it's no wonder -- but I still wonder if there's any truth to this rumor. Anyone know anything about this?
Yeah. That's Nick Drake. Great stuff -- so good that (as a card carrying music snob) I'm embarrassed to admit I first heard of his work from the VW commercial. He's a folky 1970's singer-songwriter who lived a pained and short existence, and finally committed suicide via pills I believe.
Personally, I'd check out his "Pink Moon" album first, and maybe work backwards frm that; and there's a few compilations out now that are truly excellent as well. And there's a short documentary on his life called "A Skin Too Few" making the festival rounds which is supposed to be very good as well.
Why do you need steps 6 through 10? I don't think there's any advantage to hosting the.sdp file on homepage.mac.com, as it's just a pointer to the stream coming out of your machine anyway, right...?
QuickTime Broadcaster not only encodes video in real-time to MPEG-4 over a network, but will also save a file to disk as well. And the app is AppleScriptable! -- so the only problem now is getting the video (tuned to the appropriate channel) into the machine at the right time. Too bad there's no cheap PCI TV tuners for the Mac...
I've got to think that this approach -- and the El Gato "PVR" for that matter -- is vastly inferior to a "set-it-and-forget-it" tivo.
The only problem with that scenario is that the 7500/7600 had only SCSI on the motherboard, so you'd probably also want/need to slap an IDE card in there so you could use large cheap IDE drives -- and that factor runs up the cost appreciably.
