"Here in America we also celebrate Independence Day on the 4rth of July"
(it's 4th) and at least that makes SOME kind of sense - America was a colony and gained independence, so a national holiday in celebration seems logical enough. Surely Americans don't REALLY believe the Ford Model T to be the first car? Apart from anything else, there were plenty of American cars that preceded it.
you can do EDITING in QuickTime Player - move, cut, paste, add, delete. Multiple video, audio, Flash, text, Sprite and meta data tracks are all addable and subtractable. You can turn movies into image sequences and vice versa, scale, shear, change volume and sample rate etc etc etc
QuickTime is NOT A CODEC, it's an architecture that supports HUNDREDS of graphics, sound and movie codecs - along with sundry other formats like FLASH 4, text layers, sprites etc etc etc. That's why MPEG-4 was based on it - it's fucking beautiful! So, if you 'phone had QT, you might be able to take a series of pictures, compile them into an image sequence and send them to a friend as an MPEG4 movie stream; or maybe compose a ring tone as MIDI and send it somewhere; or open a TGA or TIFF file, or a wav, mp3 or aiff file etc etc etc
I hope your 3 tonne SUV gets smashed by an 18 tonne truck. Your pitiful chromed bull bars won't save your useless life. Get a real car you jackass.

oh come on! how naiive are you? actors have AGENTS, usually the same ones as OTHER ACTORS ( thus controlling the supply side of "stars" to the studios). If the studios tried giving us films based on interesting ideas instead of bankable "stars" and franchises, we'd all be better served.

not to mention his beautiful hair hat / pubic micro weave combination hairdo. Last time I put somethng like that on my head it had a Polartec lining. $25Million? What the fuck FOR? The MPAA can fuck off worrying about movie downloading if it's members are wasting THAT MUCH money on wages. How about $1Million? Would it REALLY fucking cramp Mel's style? Or Tom Cruise's?
that was a little hyper, but your point is valid. Not only is it pathetic that Slashdot geeks would refuse to pirate a LOTR disc and yet merrily d/l as many mp3s as they can get their grubby little hands on. Pirating is acceptable or not - it's NOT content dependent. As to Star Trek - amen. I work with some gekky fucker who is well on his way to having bought EVERY FUCKING EPISODE of Stargate SG1 on DVD. I continually point out to him that it's on TV three times a fucking day for FREE (and that it's crap) but the very idea seems to bring him almost to tears...

"BTW, my ex-girlfriend's parents own the land where the Wright Brothers had their shop (now a hotel), so I'm practically an expert on the matter."
Yep, that makes sense alright.
why don't you direct your banknote suggestion somewhere it might do some good?
it's just a Vic Reevesism - never mind
are you actually incinerating that Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home was GOOD?
I hardly know where to start!
why use Photoshop when you can use Commotion?
this whole story baffles me, film GIMP is a Commotion competitor, not a Photoshop competitor.

Nope, Mel's an American alright.

comparing Real Player to QuickTime is like comparing a dodgem to a BMW M5.

oh yeah, says who?
no it isn't, it's WWIII in space, with America as the Empire and NYC as the Death Star. Jedi = Islam. Obi Wan = Osama Bin Laden.

is that the same melbourne House that wrote Way of the Exploding Fist for the C=64? Man, that game was fucking great.
what on Earth are you ranting about?
I've personally bought these computers - Commodore 64 (Z80), Amiga 500+ (Moto 68000), Mac Colour Classic (Moto 68030), Mac Quadra 800 (Moto 68040), Newton MP 2100 (StrongARM sa 110), PowerMac G4 (2 x Moto MPC 7410) and, finally, a Sony Clie SJ-30 (Moto Dragonball EZ).
So, as I said, no Alphas in that lot and no x86s either.
