I don't like waiting all weekend to download my songs to an MP3 player. With a 20 GB hard drive it will take like 15 hours to transfer an entire HD worth. No iPod killer yet.
Well, I see two opposing sides to this, from the Maori point of view. First of all, white man has pretty much caused the loss of their culture in New Zealand. They are desparately struggling to regain knowledge of their language.
On the other hand, Maori culture != polynesian culture. It is possible to discuss all sorts of "Polynesian Culture" without mentioning anything specifically about "Maori Culture".
The use of firewire clearly has a lead on USB 2. I like USB for what
it does now (modems/mice/"slower" serial comm). I like FireWire for
what if does now (CD-RW/DV/Hard Drive/"Fast" comm). Every day more
FireWire products are coming out and being baught in this "Fast" comm
arena. The serious players from manufacturers (Apple/Sony) to
professionals and power users know that they can go out and buy stuff
that is already better than USB 2.0 today. I just don't see any
reason to continue down the road of something that is already too late
to market.
About 1.5 years ago, there actually was a beta Windows Media Player released for Linux. There was a web site (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/down load/unix.htm) which is now defunct. I probably even have the beta somewhere, but it didn't work very well. The page always said "come back here soon to see future releases of Windows Media Player for Linux".
Does anyone know if they will release this kit with PPC binaries? Or as source? My new iMac has a rage 128 and I would LOVE to do some more development with it.
Did anybody else notice that a link off the main page mentions anti-aliased fonts as a feature in the "professional" version of the 3D X. It did mention that it was based on hardware compatibility. Does anyone know which of the 30 cards is considered compatible with anti-aliased fonts?
If your exchange people are hip (I don't know what it takes with exchange to do this), they'll make exchange web-enabled. Our NT guy says it's the normal config. I access Exchange via netscape--never needing to boot into that other O$.
I saw Phantom in Colorado on Thursday. On Sunday (7am) I landed in Malaysia. By noon, I had a copy of The Phantom Menace on Video CD. Cost about US$2.50, with a professionally pressed and designed CD and sleeve. Talk about a fast pirate! Of course, it was shot on camcorder, you hear the audience throughout the movie. I went out on the street on Tuesday in Malaysia to find out there is already a 2nd generation version that is supposed to be "clean" (no audience). Hell, they have movies on Video CD out here that aren't even in theatres yet in the US!

Does anyone know the status/release date of Pixar's remake of Tron?

To me, it looks like a libretto that has been doctored.

It's no fuckin' troll, you idiont. Steve Jobs himself promised it on the OS level, so you obviously don't know what the hell you're talking about!
But if we get plankton to kill the bacteria...
Then we get rid of the plankton by bringing in...
...
...
...
And finally we bring in monkeys to kill them.
And the monkeys will die in the antarctic winter!
SUCCESS!
