No, Matrox cards are also used in the digital video and film industry, with their Parhelia cards ruling the roost. Their stuff works great with Final Cut Pro, AfterEffects, and Shake, but then you would be paying a lot more for your video card ($800 and up) than for any 'gaming' card.
Apple computers are created for, and solely used by people who know, and want to know nothing about computers
You sure about that? Cause it's pretty blatantly WRONG.
Let's try that again: Apple computers are created for, and (mostly) solely used by creative types. The fact that everything works smoothly and well is a reflection of hard work by Apple programmers; the things that work right away, the first time, are the things that noone should have to mess with. Printers, etc. aren't things that should have to be configured/download a driver/fight with!
Really, you get more done if you don't have to fight with your machine. It's the truth.
..so sick of hearing the same FUD (it's not your fault, you were misinformed) over and over again.. OS X / BSD is the most secure OS. Nothing to do with obscurity.
Close. It's like when we debunked MS's 'writer', when the picture didn't match the person claiming to have written it, or any time a major spammer's name is posted and someone posts his home phone number and address to let him know how spammees feel.
Vigilantes are frowned upon, but we seem to have the right connections.. EFF, etc. and it would be a good plan to have some part of this community looking out for things like this. Need a better name then vigilante, however.
See, that's the thing. It's not wrong. You should be able to play a new band for your friend, or make a mix cd for them.
..and I already make sure to always make my own music shared. The exposure I'm getting from sharing is better than trying to get people to my site, and since my songs have my email in the Coment tag, I get responses from people now and then. Sharing is right.
Obviously they haven't. A throwaway word, 'meh' comes from the Canadian 'eh', which can be used many different ways in regular speech. Meh is an expression of not caring, basically saying, "like I give a shit".
Matt and Trey picked it up and liked it, as did I. Thinking about it, it's probably been about 10 years at least.
Surprised you've had a good experience with Norton. A lot of service centers won't even touch a machine if Norton is installed, with all the damage it tends to do.
In answer to your question, no, there are no viruses, trojans, or worms for OS X. For OS 9 and below, there are about 200 total, from System 1 to OS 9, mostly MS Word macro viruses. (MS software again the cause of holes in a system)
My main machine hasn't had AV software on it since SAM in 1992 or so. 12 years without AV software? I must be nuts! No, just careful. Users, properly trained, will almost never do something damaging to their system without trying to find out more about it first.
Techtool 4 is the best app for this sort of thing, and does all that Norton promises cleanly, without making a mess of your system.
Any and all Norton software packages are useless for the Mac.
You're kidding, you think Halo is an updated version of Marathon? Sorry, do your research. Completely different and separate games. Mods, this is misinformation, and not informative at all. Plz fix.
I went to Olympia Sports Camp in Huntsville for three summers for basketball.. was a ton of fun, I snuck a carton of cigarettes in each year, meeting many people, getting caught once (they got returned that night) and learning from b-ball players from Duke, North Carolina, and various NBA teams.
The best part, though, was that my friends and I would make sure to schedule our week the same week as the cheerleading camp that was our age group.. a lot of those girls smoked;)
From one AC: Huntsville is nearly 300 Kms away from Toronto, I'd hardly consider that a 'suburb.' Scarborough is a suburb.
Who is Pixlet? No it is not Piglett's X-Rated relative. Pixlet is the new video codec that will be included in MacOS 10.3 later this year. It is the same codec that Pixar uses to do their compression and editing. You know Pixar? Toy Story? Bug's Life? Monster's Inc? Finding Nemo?
Apple claims that Pixlet can compress a 6GB movie at half high definition, which is a little worse than DVD down to 250MB. Yes. You heard right. 250MB! It will be a video editor's dream. No more huge DV files. No more 30+ GB projects! Wahoo.
So why will it be your best friend? Because the days of grainy and low quality bootlegs off Kazaa and other such services will be over. What? I never. Yes you have. Admit it. You will be able to get near DVD quality movies at 250MB a pop. In order to get high quality now, DIVX it is still almost as bad as if you downloaded the DVD itself. Many DIVX movies are anywhere from 650MB to 1.8GB and are not anywhere close to the quality that will be delivered with Pixlet. Movies are a little different than online music swapping. Many download movies in the interim so they can watch the movies while they wait for the DVD. I still buy every movie I ever download simply because the quality is much better and you get all the extra features. To me movie downloading and music downloading are in two separate categories.
So I don't do that. Why else will Pixlet be my friend? Pixlet will allow complete movies on demand. It will allow near DVD quality movies to be sent to your computer. There are rumors as I type this that Apple is gearing up to make a version of the iTunes Music Store for movies. This hypethetical store would allow you to cheaply purchase, download, and burn your own movies much cheaper than you would buying them in a store. Pixlet could very easily deliver DVD or higher quality with relatively small file sizes. If you are not aware a DVD is either 4.7GB or 8.4GB depending on the media used. That would take forever to download. A 250MB file could theoretically even be downloaded my a modem user in a day or two. That seems like a lot, but with a download manager of some sort that lets you get it little by little as you go along it would really only be a few overnight downloads. It's not as bad as it sounds. In the days where there are people who download entire Linux distributions which are 2+ GB this seems a lot more reasonable.
Choice is good. Never mind those whose minds can only be opened by force, they will pay the * tax time and time again. Ignorance is all it is, willful ignorance.
'Wah! I'm not responding any more!' *stamps foot*;)
..for a Windows build, in terms of window colour (brushed metal, like OS X). As far as everything else, it isn't needed. These screenshots show how nothing has really changed.
Come on x86ers, save up for a Mac (even a used one) and get more stuff done more enjoyably. If you're going to spend $ on new hardware (which Longhorn will surely require for 95% of the pop.), don't run the risk of it not working with your setup.. and you can still run *nix or a BSD.
The movies will stand the test of time. My kid(s) will see them after they read the books.
As for 'flawless'..
It can be done now, the time/money thing always comes into play. Perfect is only a a matter of getting the best guys and letting them do each frame that needs work done on it.. Pay the post guys more. Give them some recognition. They do the most important work IMO.

What has been shown and proven at work, at home and at school is that if we don't talk to anyone, don't look at anyone, don't think about anyone but ourselves then we won't get hurt, and things will progress normally. Uneventful, yes, but in this day and age of living in fear, 'no news' really is good news.
However, regardless of which music service you choose, or even if you choose no music service at all, just a few short years afterwards you are inevitably and irrevokably dead, with no songs whatsoever.
So then he who dies with the most songs doesn't win?
Everything minus the pic.. it's worth it to visit. Lostbrain rules.
Don't Get Scammed at the ATM
Look for these tell-tale signs to avoid losing your money, or inadvertently handing your PIN number over to the Russian mafia the next time you use an automatic teller:
1. If the ATM appears to be crudely attached to the back of a Toyota Celica, or Ford Ranger Pickup truck, BEWARE!
2. If you see an ATM that has been cleverly modified, as this one has, BEWARE!
3. If there are any Russians nearby, BEWARE!
4. If the ATM machine has three windows on the front displaying spinning fruit, BEWARE!
5. If the ATM machine says "Rubbermaid" anywhere on its exterior, it is likely not an ATM machine, but a cleverly disguised trash can. BEWARE!
6. If, at any point during your transaction the ATM opens to reveal a small naked man inside, BEWARE!
7. If the ATM machine wants you to play a game of three card monte, BEWARE!
8. If the ATM machine is sponsored by Martha Stewart, BEWARE!
9. If the ATM machine promises to "gladly pay you on Tuesday, for a hamburger today," BEWARE!
10. If there is a sign attached to it that says "Beware of ATM Machine," BEWARE!

And, of course, ripping off tabbed browsing and pop up blockers.
How fucking innovative.
You're kidding, IE now has tabs and popup blocking? I thought popup blocking ran counter to their ideas about marketing and ads..?

yeah, I couldn't find anything in KW after about a summer of living at my gf's, so back to T.O. I went..
Rent's so expensive here, but everything's very convenient.

Try repairing your permissions. Dual 450, was having that too until I repaired again lately.
