Just installed Flip4Mac from the Microsoft download page, and while it works, Safari now crashes if I switch tabs or navigate away from the page after playing a clip.
I might try a reboot - can anyone remember how to reboot a PowerBook? It's been a while.
This is great - WMP for Mac is abysmal - especially when attempting to play a clip as it's downloading - Quicktime has the most elegant way of doing this I've seen where the grey bar indicates how much of the clip has been downloaded while you are watching seamlessly unlike WMP's 'buffering....buffering....' crap that it does, (usually before it stops responding).
I have not tested Flip4Mac yet but if it basically lets us play WMV and behaves just like Quicktime, I'm a happy man.
I hope they stop support for Windows Messenger next - that's crap too.

As do I - was not pleasant being stuck in a house in Highland Park in July last year during power outage lasting a few hours in 90+ degree heat.
This technology also provides beneift to the provider network
Where was the bit about how it benefits the consumer...? While I'm all for energy conservation, this sounds like the thin end of a 'lets ration your electricity' wedge.
You don't need a SAN to run Oracle RAC - it will work using a shared firewire drive apparently.
RAC is an absolute ******* to install however. The heavily bugged Oracle Installer being the cause of most of these issues.
Incidentally for people experiencing blue screens when building a cluster with Windows Server 2003 Enterprise on Dell 2850 servers with AX100 SAN with Oracle's ASM with QLA200 fibre channel cards - flash the QLA card firmware.
And before anyone asks, I was going to use Linux, but it was actually cheaper to use Windows rather than fork out for RHEL / SUSE licenses. Yes really.
Check this out.
Google ad running down the side obscuring the text for anyone else? I've been seeing it on a lots of sites since upgrading the PB to 10.4.3.
Think I'll hang on for the updated update before patching the G5.
Oh sorry - I forgot that people here only believe things when there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever.
Am reminded of proverb about Internet arguments.
When are big ISP's going to learn that people don't give a shit about what content they bundle to justify their prices but simply want somewhere to plug in and do whatever they want?

Did that and no crashes now - thanks for the info.

it will be nice to make it all widely available to the general public
...they already ARE available to the general public... for free, except maybe Norton, but Norton AV is crap - home users could use AVG.
Thanks for sharing - I just finished reading The Big Scam and it's very entertaining!
Any user can look up this data via one of the many whois sites on the net.
There is your reason right there. I for one don't want any nutters being able to find my name and address and phone number.
Next up: no singing in the shower without a license.
How is this different to a Government saying "Don't kill people!" then putting guns and high explosives into the hands of soldiers?
The only logic here is 'do what we say and don't question anything.'
Sounds interesting - but can you get certified drivers for QLA200 cards and a Dell (EMC) AX100 SAN?

Windows runs faster with a clean desktop too. They must have copied that from Microsoft...

Lets see - anonymous developer says "test boxes do not have DRM or TCPA components", then your answer to the evidence of the chip on the board is..?
An anonymous registered Apple developer claims that the Apple x86 test boxes do not have DRM or TCPA components.
Wow - so regardless that the dev kits contain the code and the mobo's contain the chip, an anonymous developer said they don't have them?
Well obviously the anonymous developer must be right; after all - who can argue with anonimity?
'Overrated'?? Talk about idiot moderators!
...what if the parrot simply says 'none' every time it sees a tray?
Are you serious? I was at least expecting a "...so I know which one to avoid" thing at the end of the question.
Perhaps you should update your BIOS...

2.3Gb per $20 disk on a $200-300 drive?
Have you seen how cheap hard drives are these days?? For that much money you could buy several 40Gb drives and mirror them all.
Ha you pirate! I'm going to tell on you - NOBODY pirates Linux and gets away with it.
Oh wait.
