You couldn't see it in Mozilla? Works fine in Safari so it's not just an IE job...
Go directly to apple.com/quicktime and find it there I guess. It's worth seeing;)
Honestly, most of my most recent XP updates have been installed without a restart. It's really not a huge deal to *ME* and I am sure it's not a huge deal to most other non-technical users as they probably restart their computer almost daily because of various unknown reasons.
Those non-technical users probably hang out in an office between 9-5 and when the non-non-technical people there have to reboot, it means a call to the missus "I'll be home late tonight, gotta wait till the last person leaves and cheak this thing comes back up".
That's how it is. In my last job we used NetWare and Solaris - it wasn't like that then..*sigh*. 9 years of bliss.
In the same vien that Linux users (wich includes me) have to rip the blinkers off the Windows crowd to point out that it ISN'T difficult to install and THERE ARE apps, then we have the same rubbish about OSX. I've had several Macs over the years from System 7, then 8.6, then 9 and as of a month ago OSX. (with gaps inbetween each machine - I always though I was being smart selling my current one before a Keynote thinking the 'next big thing' was being announced!).
One thing I have never had ANY trouble with or given a SECOND thought to was availability of software. I have helped several (now happy) regular non-technical consumers buy a Mac who initially had the concerns of "but isn't it incompatable?" (what the hell does THAT mean?). One has turned into a complete Zealot because he reckons he wasted years swearing at his Windows crap at home and in the office and is on a mission to convert the misinformed. (my job now is to moderate HIM....).
As for "ugly toy"...PPFFTTT! Yeah, right. My PB is real ugly next to a Toshiba Satellite....or that guys Dell...or....
And still of course Byte. Sadly it is now online only - I used to love that mag. it's a sign of the times that a mag which is even slightly technical can't sell.
As for what I actually read in print, I subscribe to VIZ and EDGE. Pretty expensive, the old EDGE, here in Australia.
I typed 'Royal' and then wondered - so I did a Google and decided it was ROYALE!!!!! I changed it so I wouldn't have to hear from pedants like you....backfire.
4) Release on an independent record label. Aphex Twin has a successful one. Paul Van Dyk is doing fine on his record label. The Beastie Boys have the clout to do it.
Well, it is very good and most people DO have an idea what it is - although most people underestimate its capabilities and benefits.
I work extensivly in both the Novell and MS environment. Without fail, I can acheive more with less on the Novell side.
I just popped by their homepage, and decided to read the "5 reasons to use UNIX over LINUX" and noticed that they have the exact same photo of staff in an office as Novell have on support.novell.com
So, a stock photo? The same web developer or....ah! It's Utah, they just LOOK like the same people;)
The real cost is nothing you aren't paying anyway. I'm a 200 seat house over 11 sites.
1* I pay a couple of K per year for subscriptions to Symantec and Norman (I like using 2 and filtering emails through both).
2* I use ZEN Works to distribute critical patches to all workstations with a minutes or 2 effort.
3* We routinly sead an 'all staff' email telling them to trash any filtering system notifications that they don't actually understand (ie weird sender, subject etc)
4* PROFIT!
Honestly, anyone being affected is doing it wrong.
Colour is spelt with a 'u' everywhere except teh USA, I'm in Australia but am from Ireland - both spell it with 'u', night (not nite) and in theory gaol, not 'jail' but the latter seems to be one where the Americanism has also taken hold, indeed I would typically use 'jail'.
But 'Potatoe'???? I've never heard or seen that. Surely it's a mistake in the USA too?
Slashdot Mirror
I'm not sure which bit is funnier - the general post of that the French helped in WWII :)

Parent -1 overrated, -1 redundant...
I wish I had mod points for this....;) Funny...
You've never been there have you?
(and I note your inability to spell one of the bigger brand names in the world has already been corrected).
"you could fly from Sydney to Singapore and still have hours of listening time left over as you stroll the Champs Elysée."
I think the Australian 'localisation team' need to do better than a find and replace of 'New York' & 'Paris'...

Not often Google lets me down ;)
Grand Royale anyone?
Conversely, for those who have already got their phone via fibre - they are left out of the ADSL boom.
The 'big bang' of revisitable time?
I suspect it wasn't and if those 2 AC comments are the same person, they are now anonymously back peddling in shame.
The loss of mirror.ac.uk cannot be underestimated. So you are saying it was a waste of time? Are you saying you "could care less"? ;)

I still get a few chuckles out of each issue :) Even living in Aus, it's pretty cheap.
Ah - we haven't got a link yet, check out the flash 'Doctor Poo' if it's still up there;

I read it a few times and came to a completly different conclusion on its meaning! (really)
