It's not that easy. For instance, Linux is cheaper than Windows, but (obviously) Linux users are way smarter.
Well sure, kind of like the guy that mentioned paris hilton, causation/correlation aren't the same thing, obviously.
I definitely didn't mean to say that. There's plenty of starving scholars. This is also why I put "smarter" in quotes. It was really the whole point of my post, these articles make "intelligence" even more subjective and broad than it is on its own.
Yeah, the average mac user probably is smarter than the average pc user. The 4% of mac users are also in the upper 4% of the income scale. Guess what? Well educated smart people tend to have more money than others, your average BMW owner is probably "smarter" than your average kia owner.
Looking at this in any way that's supposed to matter is just elitist. Moving on . . .
I've seen that before in similar conversations, it doesn't say DDL or DVI Dual Link anywhere on it. Once it mentions Dual Link DVI. I think it's an apple marketing thing, not an official DVI thing.
Hmmm, are you sure? I can't find anything official, I'm just going off what Steve said in the WWDC keynote. Googling for DDL brings up all kinds of stuff, and I can't find it on Apple anywhere.
"arent you annoyed at the insane number of mosquitoes (attracted by the CO2) at outdoor paintball fields?"
Well, no. Like I heard on a radio ad recently . . . "Hell yeah it hurts." Mosquitos just aren't the concern, and wear some OFF spray or something like that.
Something similar to this is used in Mac OS X mail. I haven't read the article in a while (it was on/. a few weeks ago) but I think it's pretty similar. You'll probably find it interesting at least.
I'm pretty sure it was alienware, when the voodoo 3 was really, really new I saw a little blurb in what I think was a computer gaming world about a system that would run up to 4 voodoo 3 cards. It didn't use SLI like the old voodoo 2s, but would split the screen up among the cards, a 2x2 grid with 4 cards, the blurb went on about crazy quake 2 framerates I think.
Yeah, I just checked to make sure it still works in 4.5, my rio600 still pops up in my sources list and works great.
Does anyone know if other players work in windows?
They don't seem to have much of a website up, but from the readme in the source:
This is Gaim-vv, not stock Gaim. Don't report bugs you experience with Gaim-vv
to Gaim. If you find a bug with Gaim-vv, see if you can reproduce it with
Gaim and report it Gaim if you can. Otherwise report it to us. Our bug tracker
is at http://sf.net/projects/gaim-vv
Compiling is currently fairly complicated. Automake/Autoconf gurus who want to
improve things are encourged to contribute. There's a patch tracker at
http://sf.net/projects/gaim-vv and also a mailing list,
gaim-vv-devel@lists.sf.net.
To compile with Yahoo Webcam viewing support you'll need libj2k installed.
Hopefully you can get it from the same place you got Gaim-vv. If there's
no package yet, you may have to check it out of CVS. You may have to hack
the build system to get it to build without libj2k. This is a bug on our part.
For our MSN features, you'll need:
libosip
linphone, either from *our* CVS, or from a package that we provide.
Stock linphone won't work at all (right?).
You'll need to configure linphone with
"--with-osip=dir --disable-ipv6 --disable-trace".
After installing linphone, you'll need to copy config.h of linphone to, for
example,/usr/local/include/linphone/linphone_config.h
Copy the header files in the mediastreamer directory to/usr/local/include/mediastreamer
You'll need to./configure Gaim-vv with "--enable-linphone --enable-msn-vv".
If you have any problems, but manage to solve them, feel free to send us
an updated version of this file (or a diff).
After you start Gaim-vv, you'll need to enable the J2k plugin under
Tools->Preferences->Plugins before you will be able to view others Yahoo! Webcams. Broadcasting your own Cam with Yahoo! isn't supported at this time.
Don't scream about it too much. I agree with what people have said about DeCSS, DVD is not dead.
All this means to me is I can use iTunes on my shiny new powerbook (to PAY for digital music) and still maybe use it on my linux desktop, like I can play my dvds.
There will probably never be official rpms for the 7.x series, the way I understand it, redhat never releases new packages except for bug/security fixes, you'd have to get 8.0 for new features. If I'm wrong here please go right ahead and say so.
However, I bet ximian has perfectly fine mozilla 1.2.x packages available or on the way, along with lots of other desktop related updates.
That is Apple's goal with the eMac, however it starts at $1099, not quite that range.
I don't think it's fair to say that Apple has high prices because of some elitist attitide, so much as it is more expensive for them to produce a complete G4 based system than for Dell or Wal-Mart to produce an x86 based system.
(Note I am not a Mac elitist, I too have an amd system i built, for just that reason.)

I've seen that before in similar conversations, it doesn't say DDL or DVI Dual Link anywhere on it. Once it mentions Dual Link DVI. I think it's an apple marketing thing, not an official DVI thing.
If you watch the WWDC Keynote at one point there's a slide up that just says DDL in giant letters and steve says "we've got DUAL dual link." That's the most I've seen to go off of.
Hmmm, are you sure? I can't find anything official, I'm just going off what Steve said in the WWDC keynote. Googling for DDL brings up all kinds of stuff, and I can't find it on Apple anywhere.
I'm pretty sure DDL stands for Dual Dual Link not Dual Data Link.
The platform.progeny site just mentions an alpha 1 release, that's been out for a while.
Is there a newer release out?

Yes, my first thought when I saw this article: Penguins and Lizards. Mmmmmmm.

I use Poisoned for OS X. Connects just like KCeasy through gift.
I tend to filter out all the kazaa results anyways, most all are blocked by firewall, mislabeled or other similar issues.
Someone like Sharman forcing alternative clients out is sort of just funny, but hey, I don't think this will make KCeasy that much less usable.
Yeah, I just checked to make sure it still works in 4.5, my rio600 still pops up in my sources list and works great. Does anyone know if other players work in windows?
Native openoffice is a ways away, but it seems to not be common knowledge that abiword for OS X is coming along nicely.
So, my OS X list:
Fink
X Code
Gimp
VLC
MPlayer (for those few files VLC won't play)
Abiword
BitTorrent
That's all that comes to mind right away, I love my iApps.

Software Update just added support for bluetooth headsets today too. *shrug* do whatever you want with that but it's kind of convenient.
You CAN extract to your own network. I've never tried it myself, but look at tivo-mplayer.
Granted tivo the company probably really doesn't like this.
