I use OS X and don't have much of a problem with DivX;). You need to get yourself a copy of DivX Doctor II to convert from DivX.avi videos to 3ivx QuickTime (.mov) videos.

Aaaaaarrrrrggghh! Apple replaces one Wrong Thing with another. Before 10.2.2, Apple's installer would blindly write files into/Applications/Mail.app/contents/resources without first checking to see whether Mail.app was still in the/Applications folder.
It's worse than that. I have '/Applications' as a symlink to '/Volumes/BigPartition/Applications' and the installer scripts were too brain dead to follow it. Instead they blasted the symlink and created a new '/Applictions' folder! I wait with interest to see what the new updater will do. If it would just follow the damn symlink all would be fine. Like the parent I can't understand why Apple can't find the Apps regardless of where they are on the drive - I'm even giving them a glaringly obvious hint!
Parent should be insightful rather than funny! I've just let BMG know my point of view and I suggest that all the other Europeans here do the same.
One of the points that I made was that I want to listen to CDs that I purchase on a computer, on an iPod, on my own compilation CDs for the car. This is all covered by fair use but the record companies have their heads buried so deep up their arses all they can think of is piracy. Yet by preventing legitimate use they dissuade me from buying their broken product and drive me to the file sharing that they're so shit scared of!
Five of which are already fixed. Contrast that to security flaws in IE which require you to install fixes with the shiny new BillG 0wNs j00 EULA. (Of course that's if MS deign to fix the bugs at all rather than get in a hissy fit with whomever exposed them)
If you go to Apple's site and download Darwin you do get more than just the xnu kernel though. Darwin on its own is certainly not an awful lot compared to a typical GNU/Linux distro or OS X but it is more than a kernel image.
Here's a list of stuff that is included in Darwin. Also, this page makes the following point:
It's worth emphasizing that even without the other elements of Mac OS X -- the powerful graphics layer (QuickTime, OpenGL, Quartz), the array of flexible application environments (Carbon, Cocoa, Java), and the eye-catching Aqua user interface -- Darwin is a complete, functional operating system.
Darwin is a bare bones distro. You can run the GNU tools and X windows on it. OS X has all the eye candy and Apple only stuff like Aqua, Quartz, Quicktime etc.
Take a look at this page to see what is layered on top of Darwin to get OS X.
What does a poster's history have to do with it? Read his post and decide - if you still can't figure out if it's a troll or not then don't moderate. In this case PS's post is not a troll as it is factually correct (when he is trolling he is a lame watered down knock off of PhysicsGenius). No, in this case he is whoring for karma - if you think this is informative mod it up - if not then don't bother modding it down - mod someone else up instead. Remember the slashdot janitors have an infinite supply of mod points and are not scared to (ab)use them.
There are still some (non functional) police boxes in Glasgow. There's one at the end of Byres Road which was in a bit of a state the last time I saw it. You could certainly piss in there after visiting all the pubs in Byres Road on a Friday night as the door was kicked in.
There is also a police box in the middle of Buchannan Street. It has a small window and if you look through it you see an infinite space full of fibre optic lights - maybe that one does work!
Yes, but if it gets too cold and goes superfluid then it'll start creeping up and out of its container - perhaps the guy in the photo had better start wearing his themal gloves if he tries He cooling.
(BTW, I think I might be slightly wrong about the OSX Jag requiring a T&L engine, but it does require a 3d video card (I think the rage128's work) anyone know more?
I guess you're going on about Quartz Extreme here. If you want Quartz (the graphics layer) to be accelerated you need an AGP graphics card with >16MB of RAM (ideally >32MB). Jaguar will run without this though. It just won't be as fast when you start putting half a dozen transparent terminals on top of the DVD player.
London is big. The road that 'loops' London - the M25 - is 117 miles long so a ten minute lap would require an average speed of 705mph. Perhaps the planes circling Heathrow need to start fearing the speed cameras?
Don't forget MacOS X has tar and gzip/gunzip available from the command line - OK there's no GUI but it's not that hard. It would be pretty trivial to knock up a GUI anyway - just don't go charging $20 for half an hours work like some OS X chancers do...
Then, at the time, if you wanted kick ass graphics that is what you wanted.
That's why my original post was about the average joe. The 1337 brigade are welcome to stuff their slots with hardcore graphics cards - asking even them to buy multiple cards is a tough sell though - hence 3dfx losing market share to nVidia who gave more than adequate prformance from a single card.
I'm all for over the top graphics cards, I've got a GeForce4 Ti4600, but I draw the line at multiple graphics cards for a single display and I'm sure a lot of other users do too. Hell, one nice point about my GeForce is that the single card spans two monitors! Requiring multiple cards to get nVidia beating performance was never going to appeal to 99% of the market.

You could do either - alternatively run it from wherever you built it by putting './' in front of the executable name:
./ASCIIMoviePlayer pr0n.mov
bash-2.05a$

OK - try any of the links here.
funnily enough i can't think of any japanese cases of terrorbombing
I guess Pearl Harbour was just a pretty firework show then?
Not quite:
Move target: Alias works
Delete alias: Target remains
Keep alias, delete target: Broken alias

Nah, send in Jimmy Carter!
Thanks for the link - in the second paragraph they state that the PowerPC 970 is a POWER4 derivative.
Could have had soup though!
Check it out. A close run contest - is the result what you expected though?
