Maybe this will help tame one of the worst features in M$'s UI, the Start menu....how many times have I found myself n-levels deep looking for some obscurely filed shortcut when, BLAM, some app steals the focus and causes the whole menu to go away.
Of course, it would help if they stole some of Apples algorithms for menu response to the mouse pointer (on a mac you don't have to move in right angles), but I digress.
Why isn't there more use of minidiscs or zip disks. In the case of minidiscs the technology has been long established is availabe and is pretty reliable.
Sony makes one of those too, it's actually a camcorder/digital camera that records to MD, I messed around with one at a local Fry's and it's pretty cool.
Apple probably has a point with this, if the themes had the Apple logo in them. The Apple logo is a trademark and they must protect it. I just checked sawmill.themes.org and all the Mac OS X like themes (like Aqua X are still present. Of course none of the ones remaining have Apple logos.
You can also hit the space bar to bypass the wait on opening the spring loaded folder. There is a configuration where you can specify the delay time as well.
If that story gets a 100, it really makes you wonder what a 'just passing' grade looks like.
I think we should be more afraid of the disservice that we are doing to kids in school by not inisting on better performance.
And don't start with that 'he's just in 7th grade' stuff. The story had really basic errors in grammar and spelling. He should have at least been docked a few points for the run-on sentences!
The point is that most of the toolbar buttons are really useless clutter and cause confusion for the user. There is already a method to present the user with many organized options, it's called the 'pulldown menu'.
I unfortunately must use M$ products at work, and I can tell you that I normally only use one or two of the stupid toolbar buttons at any time. I could go on, but I think ya'll get my point.

Nor did it show Mac OS ;-).

The question I have is could we write an app that would use libWine to load the .dlls from the windows QT player and plug them into xanim
That would be okay for you x86 types out there, but wouldn't help out those of us on PPC, Alpha, or SPARC hardware.
Helixcode rpms are available on rpmfind both i386 and ppc packages are available here.
Hope this helps!
