No, there wasn't. But Apple could have (note the *could have*) recorded it on standard videotape and put it on CD later. It's something I would've done *grin*
Too bad there's no real evidence of it. I'd PAY MONEY to see a video like that....
Just incidentally, I spend a half hour or so doing some searches, and couldn't find anything. Lots to search thru tho.
Interesting thing I did find is that the first incidence of that phrase occurs on Usenet (google archive) back in '92. Hmm.
If you're talking about the flash part, it was, oh, 8-10 minutes (wasn't really paying attention, did emerge netscape-flash and went back to reading/.:-). If you're talking Gentoo, it was a few days worth of work to get where I am now (emerging KDE took about 14 hours). It really depends on the system and how much you're using it in the meantime. I have a 1200 mhz Duron with 512m ram, so this system is pretty quick.
Figured there was sound. Fix this thing, Macromedia! Flash works on, oh, probably 80% of the files I've played on here. The missing sound is pretty symptomatic. Damned if I'll file *another* bug report. Not like they ever answer anyway...
Hey. Thanks. I've seen references to the Strong Bad stuff on/. but didn't really know what it was all about (maybe a new deodorant?:-)
I didn't get any sound in the CGNU one tho - is there supposed to be sound? Looked like it - damned flashplayer for linux; works fine on some flash and not on others. I really wish macromedia would fix this thing.
I *always* have my boxing gloves on:-)) Best defense against a troll, you know. (blunt weapons over edged weapons)
SB ( gotta admit tho, on the Gentoo install I just built the flashplayer emerged nicely, didn't even have to restart mozilla and it just....worked. Heh. Mostly. )
If he meant "on the desktop" then why didn't he *say* X/KDE/Gnome? I doubt that even Bill is that ignorant. No, I think he was using the term "linux" the way it is popularly used outside the geek circles; to mean distributions such as RH, Suse, Mandrake, etc.
Remember who his audience is, here.
I actually use the GIMP more often than photoshop, mainly because I do nearly all my graphics work on linux (Blender). There are some features that Photoshop has that the GIMP doesn't, but I'm hardly an expert. You'd have to ask someone who uses it more seriously. As noted I work with Blender, so the interface is hardly an issue:-)
However there have been many posts on Slashdot over the last year at least which do outline why a lot of texture designers don't use GIMP. Might want to start here, or for that matter ask the parent post to my post:-)
Clinton said he didn't have sex with that woman, either.
I'm not saying that Bill did say that; thing is, *him denying* that he said it doesn't make that fact, either.
I wonder if the real truth will ever come out. When I went to college in the mid80s I remember hearing that 640k joke quite often; and this was before the real media hype surrounding Gates and MS started. So...I wonder.
Absolutely agree with you, just want to clarify something.
In the construction industry, someone who only knows how to do one thing is generally called an "Installer". Floor installer, overhead door installer, etc.
To become a licensed carpenter in most states and earn the right to advertise yourself as one, you have to be pretty versatile.
I recently moved and signed up for cable broadband in my new location. They offer a pretty sweet deal - 3mb/128k $30/mo no install fee - but of course, they don't support linux. No big deal, I told the operator.
When the install guys were here, one of them had to do some work on an outside line after they had me hooked up and windows running. So I got a cup of coffee for the other guy inside who was monitoring the line and rebooted to Mandrake, showing him how easy it was to set up the network (enter numbers, network restart, no reboot, etc). He was mighty impressed, and had the guy working outside come in and asked me to show him, too. Needless to say I've burned some Mandrake CDs (and Knoppix Live CD) this week for them.:-)
McBride has hinted a couple times that BSD may not be safe. He hasn't made any overt threats yet, tho. IANAL, etc...so I don't know whether or not he could carry thru (it's likely any similarities in SCOunix/BSD were lifted from BSD tho, IMHO)
"But on Wednesday, McBride wouldn't rule out that the investigation could have implications for Linux companies, Apple Computer, Microsoft, BSD versions of Unix, and other companies using the various operating systems."
"One thing I can think of, is that if you're using ALSA, you shouldn't be building the kernel modules (or compiling support into the kernel) for your sound cards."
That's interesting...in the alsa-gentoo-howto I set up with, they recommended Sound Card Support (although they also said not to compile any of the driver modules). Can it be done without the Sound Card Support option?
I've got everything working fine, I'm just curious:-)

Once upon a time, I had a pile of Apple CDs from the "early" days (heh)

Wish I still had them.
Nice search, lots more detailed then mine. Ye gods, what have I started?
Then again, if anyone could find the truth in this, it'd be slashdotters
SB
Sure would.

I'll admit cluelessness on that joke :-(

Idiot.

I agree with you about Gimp, but I've heard (haven't tried it myself) that Photoshop 6 and 7 run just fine under win4lin.

As was pointed out elsewhere in this story thread, when you are dealing with hundreds of render stations, linux is much, *much* cheaper to deploy.
