Clan Lord suffers from an extremely low player count. 20,000 online at a time would be a dream for them, with a usual count of 20-30 players(!) at any given time. The interesting thing is that it has kept going for a lot longer than anyone expected, certainly much longer than a PC-based one would with equivalent player base.
So now that everyone's figured out that the article is from 6 years ago, 2000, can we agree that there still hasn't been a successful self-propagating virus for Mac OS X?
You will also need a hardware solution, but some software for video that would be a good start for others perhaps would be one of these apps (if you're using OS X or winxp):
Both written by a VJ, Kiritan Flux:
mietzplayer v.1.5 - videoplayer, that plays two movies synchronously on two monitors. Mac OS X and Windows XP
jallajalla v.1.0 - videoplayer for use on two or more computers to frame-synchronously play video files - master and slaves, network required - Mac OS X and Windows XP
Going to use these for my band's onstage video stuff. I don't know how many channels of video they'll do, but on the audio side, you probably want something like a M-Audio Firewire 1814 or something.
(from the spec page: 'The FireWire 18/14 is an 18-in, 14-out audio interface complete with ADAT Lightpipe for multi-channel communication with other digital devices. It features 8 x 4 analog I/O at up to 24-bit/96kHz, and boasts 192kHz on the first two inputs and all four outputs. Channels 1 and 2 also include high-quality microphone/instrument preamps. S/PDIF optical digital I/O provides 2-channel PCM, as well as pass-through of surround-encoded AC-3 and DTS material. Flexible internal mixing allows input and output routing, including an aux bus for effects send or monitor mix. A front-panel momentary switch allows DJ-style headphone auditioning between two assignable sources. Other features include two headphone amplifiers, assignable level controller, S/PDIF coaxial/optical digital I/O, 1 x 1 MIDI I/O, and BNC word clock connectors for synchronization to other digital devices.')
I have a rule about having no Real or WMV software installed, they tend to have rather draconian EULAs and seem to install more files than they should need.
I guess I'll wait for a new VLC build.
suppose I could use my Virtual PC xp pro drive 'Hurting' and try it on there, I just prefer not to run it unless I really have to test something.
you make spyware. A program that allows someone to spy on others is called spyware. (dumbass)
I'll be posting a notice, as I did when Claria/Gator tried the same bullshit, on most of my sites: "Spymon is spyware. Stay far away from it and check your computer for it."
In this case, I may even be interested enough to post instructions on how to add your software to the 'evil' list in virus/spyware removing programs.
no, any artist that has signed to a major label deserves to get screwed. They know how major labels will screw bands, but in their GREED they still choose to sign a contract with them.
Allofmp3 paid the labels what the labels asked for, plain and simple.
if the greedy artist is on a major, just go to allofmp3 and get their tracks. You can get 320 bkps AAC if you want (what I usually get) and an album will usually end up costing under two bucks.
Fuck the greedy majors, and fuck the greedy bands on the majors.
Seriously, every mod who moded this up deserves to be taken out and shot.
Only in the US can you ignore what's happening around you inside your own country and instead focus all your hate and frustration on others who try to point out the problems.
Take off the blinders, take a look at what's happening to your country.
If this is an example of the best minds the US has to offer, it is certainly fucked.
That's miserable. Get Senuti and keep that on the iPod instead. It lets you pull whatever tracks you want over to any machine you connect it to. Reads and sends to playlists, etc. Works great. Completely free. If you're on Windows, I don't have much sympathy, but there's probably something like that on Versiontracker.
As someone else mentioned, EvoCam is probably going to work best for you. You can use the motion detection feature, but it's an excellent app for doing stop-motion stuff as well.
The trial version of the app will work with no restrictions for 15 days or something, so get to it!
I hit the 'print' version button on their site, expecting to get a nicely formatted, less cluttered version of the article. and instead it just sends the javascript command to choose 'print' in your browser.
I'm seeing it more and more, and it bugs the crap out of me.
New Power Macs can take up to 16 GB DDR2 RAM, have PCI Express, and can power up to four 30" displays or eight 23" or 20" ones.
The thing that caught my eye was the addition of a second gigabit ethernet port. Dual gigabit ethernet ports means instant network rendering for Logic Node, XGrid, or any app that supports it. No expensive (given, these Macs are costly enough as is) gigabit router needed.
Aperture looks interesting, although it requires a more powerful machine than mine, just like Motion. Working with RAW data from start to finish sounds wicked. Not sure about US$499 wicked, but cool nonetheless.
For some reason, Apple offers an upgrade price on the product page, that links to the Motion 2 upgrade. Not really sure what's going on with that.
How is it any different from you swallowing the Bush propaganda about it not being bad?
Humans are bad for the planet, simply because we don't do (hardly) anything that is good for it. This leaves the bad, which we most certainly do every day.
I can't see how it is any more complicated than that.

A Revolution and a DS for the same price as a 360 or PS3. hopefully.
That was pretty stupid of you.
Mac users don't need your help to realize they're not invulnerable.
Are most Mac-haters really this petty? It seems so.
So now that everyone's figured out that the article is from 6 years ago, 2000, can we agree that there still hasn't been a successful self-propagating virus for Mac OS X?
I think we can. Let's hope for another 6 years.
As mentioned below, they did.
The nag screen has been gone since Quicktime 7, which came out a few months ago.
The updates you can turn off easily, and it doesn't feel bloated at all.
Inconsistency severely affects an app's usability, since things don't work as you expect.
This eventually leads to bad reviews, negative word-of-mouth, and less sales. I would say inconsistency affects an app's usability a great deal.
Myself, I would choose interface compliance over feature bloat.

Madonna's label is not independent. Maverick Records is full-on RIAA.
And she would never leave the safety of her major-label daddies.
you make spy software. that makes you scum.
I've heard some verizon horror stories.
There aren't many mom & pop providers left anymore. I'll take free wireless for general surfing.

so it's encoded in WMV 10 I guess? It won't play on VLC or mplayer on OS X. that usually means it's using the newest WMV format. lame.
reason user, eh? let's hear your stuff!

not anti-american at all.
I just hope the majority of people will start to think for themselves. It's so hard to get that message across.
seriously, listen to yourself.

Antiquated? If you still haven't seen anyone with an iPod, you really need to leave the basement more often.
Sad to see such a low UID resort to trolling.

Just use the QuickTime Player app, works fine. Also you can try changing the video prefs in iTunes to view in a separate window.
