That actually gives me a good idea. I think it should be possible to load and use OS X's libraries under Linux on PPC. At least, I cannot think of any reasons why this would be more difficult than loading and using Win32 DLLs on Linux x86.
Damn. My PowerBook G4 400MHz w/ ATI Rage 128 Mobility graphics cannot play this trailer under OS X. It almost can, but then it starts dropping frames pretty liberally. I had to install mplayer on my Athlon 1400MHz to see it.
I'm pretty sure you mean you can view all Sorenson content on Linux on ia32 CPUs using Win32 shared libraries, which is quite different from your statement.

Did you just come along to prove my point? Category 5 is not a type of cable. A cable cannot be "Category 5" because Category 5 indicates a standard of signalling performance. Such a standard can only be met by an installation of cable, connectors, puchdowns, and so forth. Therefore there is no such thing as "Cat5 cable".
For new construction, run utp, fiber, and coax to each unit. This will reduce and future telco and catv headaches. Get the wiring done by qualified installers. Cat5 is not a type of cable, it is a standard, and few people know how to follow the standard. With 160 units you are going to need a lot bigger pipe than a T1. Also forget DSL, it's silly for on-premises connections. Just hook everyone up to the same 100 (or 1000) mbit ethernet segment.
Please, look at the hardware. It is smaller, lighter, has more storage, USB2 for non-firewire weenies, and a charging cradle with a line output. It is nice!
Wow, there sure a lot of whining flamers around here today. What apple has done is really tremendous. They have introduced sexy hot hardware, and at the sametime produced a service which fundamentally changes the business model for popular music. Big labels will no longer be able to charge $18 for a Britney Spears CD with, at most, one listenable song on it. If that song really is any good, they will get $1. If not they will get $0. This has the potential to change the entire basis of how artists are signed, produced, and promoted. We should be excited!
It is trivial to leak this kind of information. Walk into an internet cafe (or walk by any of millions of open 802.11b network) and upload the information to USENET. Problem solved.
If Sun's SFST can be better, I'm all for it. Fontconfig/Xft/Xrender has a slight problem of being extremely academic. They authors are quite interested in tackling polygon intersection corner cases, but are apparently not interested in practical problems like gamma correction. The latter results in the terrible white-on-black rendering found in the present XFree86.
Possibly competition will help both project move along faster.
Ignorance strikes again. It is not necessary, just add a font to the fontconfig directory (~/.fonts, for a user), and the font will be available via fontconfig/xft2. For core fonts you need xset fp rehash. In no case do you need to restart the XFree86 server.
What kind of idiot suggestion is that? Uninstall DirectX on a Windows machine and see how fast you can play Quake III. Xv is a feature of XFree86 which improves video performance. If you disable it, you will reduce video performance.
I don't think Chris is going to mind if someone takes the project name Y. We never saw the first working line of code for Y, and that was at least five years ago.
Damn, that's the most broken part of FreeType 2. It is an amazing effort, but it still mangles a lot of outlines. The number 8 is a frequent victim of FreeType's rasterizer.
If SFST has pluggable rasterizers, that may accelerate research and development of new ones.

There are open source drivers for Radeon Mobility chips in XFree86 4.3.0 and in the DRI. That covers 2D and 3D. What were you hoping for?
Terrible. Does the shift key give you an erection or something? /System is much much more difficult to type than /system.
thankfully!
It does have built-in firewire and built-in usb. Only the connector pinout is different.
They have two adapter cables for the dock port. See their page here One of the cables is for firewire, the other is for firewire + USB2.
Please, look at the hardware. It is smaller, lighter, has more storage, USB2 for non-firewire weenies, and a charging cradle with a line output. It is nice!

No mod points, but I grant you +50 (brilliant) from my magical imaginary bag.

I wish there were less pedants around here.
In GNOME you just drag and drop the font into the fonts folder in Nautilus. Big deal.
Possibly competition will help both project move along faster.

The fast-turn prototype shop PCB Express has done some temperature profilings of several toaster ovens. You can see the results here.
Duh!

As usual, the people who bitch about X are going to have to find some new reason to bitch about X.
