Could partially be for carbon apis (dunno), but itunes does use quicktime for the audio codecs--aac, aiff, mp3, wav. another post has a link to the ogg codec on sourceforge.

Sorry, but you're mistaken. Protected files can't be converted this way. All non-DRM files files can be, of course.
BTW, the "convert selection to" command changes depending on which encoder is selected in the Importing preference panel--MP3, WAV, AAC, or AIFF. e.g, if you have WAV selected, the menu command reads "Convert selection to WAV".
My understanding is that I can legally acquire their binary from a third party. Yet the GPL guarantees that I still have the same rights as the third party to the source code...The GPL says that the source has to be provided "from the same place" as the binary.
The crux here is 'the same place'. If you were to get a gpl binary from a third party, the third party is obligated to supply the source, not whomever they received their binary from. In terms of the license, this third party becomes the "you" in the GPL.
In fact, clause 6 (besides talking about redistribution) states You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License. That is, if you complain to the bochs people that openosx didn't supply you with the source assuming you got the binaries from them, bochs is not on the hook to supply you with the source. More likely, if your third party didn't serve up the source, openosx wouldn't have to do anything about that.
So anyway, we need to find the first fool who paid openosx, and have him give us the gpled stuff. Of course, we'd be missing out on what I'm sure is a so-well-worth-it proprietary configuration gui.
...both his original incorrect message and his message to concede his error is mod'd 2. Sounds fishy, doesn't it?
No fish talk here. He has built up a large amount of karma and so gets an automatic +1 for every post. Guess I shouldn't have been doing more than just lurking for the past few years.
After reading all your comments, I'm not certain who is misunderstanding whom. Openosx has to supply (on request) the source to whomever they distribute binaries they compiled from GPLed code. Nowhere in the GPL does it say source has to be available to all comers.
Perhaps you realize this, but I'm not reading you that way. I suggest you email the openosx folks and ask them how they distribute the source to their customers.

I read this as not being able to do any of these things ('modify' through 'create' being the verbs) to a 'derivative work' (being the object), that is, a copy of the file. The fellow is attempting to sell, essentially, the original.
Troll? Are you kidding me? Without exception, I always want to mod 'mod parent up' posts redundant and offtopic -3. I know trolls. Troll is my last name. This is no troll. Disagree, fine. Then mod as 'talking out ass, butt insightful'.
Thing is, I don't agree with vt's premise. The redhat guy really meant 'make BillG's multibillions into my multimillions.'
But that is what well-designed and -written software should do. Where I part ways with VT--software should be write once, market/sell many. Software should be dead easy to install. Working, it should be prescient. It shouldn't require much documentation, and should be useful for several years. Updates and required support? Non-existant. Something called reliability. Sorry Mr. Redhat, those multi-millions of support dollars? They shouldn't be there.
For now, OSS works as a money making model only because the original work is of, er, current quality of open and closed source. Or where it can mimic the MS model of lock in.
Time may come that the only reason I still need a non-Mac computer is to play Neverwinter Nights.:-P
I have terrible news that will have your girlfriend doing a fresh round of i-told-you-so. from the bioware home page--"The Mac version of Neverwinter Nights is now in stores."
So, what type memory is being shipped in the G5s? where'd you find the specs? the 'learn more' link on the apple store only stated ddr333 and ddr400, not 2-2-2, 2-2-5, or whatever.
Come now, they're joking, of course. A joke that, after reading many posts here, seems to have fallen flat. To confirm, Google for goddesses--there is no xouvert on any list. But mainly, the tip off is the word ouvert itself.
So, failed joke aside, they did pick a "nice, friendly, high-concept name", as you define it. It's just not in English.

No, the reasons morons like you get modded down are because of your unimaginitive flamebait subjects, diarrheatic syntax, and olde troll lines with easy to see hooks.
Oh, and you do care about getting modded down--otherwise you wouldn't have posted as A. Coward.
i imagine the extra cost per unit is probably maxxed out RAM (to some extent), disk drives, a pool of spare parts, but mainly whatever "modifications" the "unnamed third party" will be doing.
I second that. I have a 500mhz ibook (the first model iceBook). I had the mobo fixed for free under the 1 year warranty (bad ethernet connector). but later, the antenna wire developed a short so the wireless connection would go away whenever i opened the lid more than 90 degrees. the repair tech told me this is common with this version of ibook. cost me several hundred.
Roll the dice or not. but for me, when i finally trade the ibook in, i'll wait ~300 days, then buy the applecare (to spread the cost and delay the decision). but for a desktop, i wouldn't. as other posters wrote, it's a matter of moving parts and use. a laptop lid is a big, expensive moving part.
also, if you can swallow your geek pride and just want to get answers, i think applecare also extends (the excellent, in my small experience) phone support time.
It seems to me that the success of this suit hinges on who created the ads. Doubleclick serves these ads, sure. But shouldn't the defendant(s) be the company(ies) whose ads these are? The complaint does claim that DC did create (not just serve) these ads, but is this correct?
From the complaint:
"19. In a diabolical scheme to deceive computer users into misdirecting their computers to Internet sites of defendant's clients, thus disrupting the work the user was otherwise performing, defendants devised and disseminated deceptive advertising banners that gave the appearance of being system warnings or computer alerts being issued by the user's own computer, and enticing the computer user to appropriately respond to the imposter alert or warning."
"...devised and disseminated..." If DC did create the ads, then, yay--go to it Fer-man. Otherwise, I think he's trying to get his hand in the wrong pair of pants.
--an aside: "a diabolical scheme"? Dr. Evil is CEO of doubleclick?
It would have been kind of cool if the window would be rendered in vector graphics, in the reality, and directly displayed to PDF. A vector desktop still seems to be a dream, or did I get something wrong?
When I first heard of Apple using display pdf for the gui and high resolution icons in something named "the dock", I was hoping that they had implemented what SGI did with their OpenGL--vector graphics on the desktop. Now, that was (is still? been 10 years, kinda hazy) an amazing desktop. each window had a thumbwheel that would continuously scale the icons in the window. the icon for the media drive would change to show empty/full/in use by overlayed animation. Eye candy, sure, but informative eye candy. Main things about a vectorized gui--clarity and speed.
Seems to me that apple has everything in place to do this--opengl and display pdf. They can go a step further to my ultimate dream--resolution independent wysiwyg. That is, system-wide, having 12 point type be 12 points high whether the display is 72ppi or 123ppi. Also, having the menu bar stay the same apparent height through resolution changes. (yes, my eyes are getting old.) Win hints at doing this with small/med/large font selections, but Apple has the technology to do it right.
