And us mac users dream of a world without Windows Media.
Quicktime is tightly integrated with the OS, so there is no loading time for the movie to start. You click on it - it starts. Windows media has to open, load up, buffer - which takes at least 10 seconds longer to start than quicktime.
It's a quicktime movie because the film was made on a mac.
I am definately buying one of these. I listen to the Howard Stern show every day, but I miss a good part of the show every day when I have to eh... work.
This is slick, but get them while you can because this is going to be banned soon enough. The fact that it exports AIFF files only sweetens the deal.
Go to howardstern.com right now, there is a massive XM radio banner on the home page... and he's been pluggin XM for some time... This has got to piss serius off
Tivo for radio.

This is a good idea, although it seems that i've never come across a decent internet radio show. I'd love to download Howard Stern shows every morning to listen to throughout the day, but for that to happen this would need FM capability. There was something like that on slashdot a while ago, but it was ugly and not mac compatible.
The truth is, I would pay Howard Stern a buck a day to "Tivo" his show onto my iPod. Good internet radio shows are pretty much nonexistant, but it's nice to know if I find a good one I can "tivo" it onto my ipod.
Ok, this this won't let me link directly to archive.org to the wayback page. Go to archive.org and type in the address, use the Dec. 2 2003 version. The download page is on there and working.
The guy took off the download page for the vector files because too many people were illegally using the files. So what if I wanted to download the Adobe Illustrator file of the roating snakes to print out a giant poster on my Epson 7600?
This will probably get slashdotted really quick because the archive.org servers are already slow. Someone make a mirror of this page quick so everyone can have a piece!
At cedar point i've seen the car not make it all the way up... it just rolls back and tries again... They have a sign in the line that says that it's normal and just happens sometimes. I believe they actually changed the cars to hold 4 less people than originally because it had problems making it up the hill at first.
There are no hydroulics to aid it up the hill after the launch... it goes from 0-120 mph in like 2 seconds. You sit still, the car rolls back a little, and POW!!! You're 420 feet up in the air, and it's a smooooth ride. Doesn't last long enough, but it's wild. Going that fast is actually cooler than going up in the air.
Now if they just used the same technology to build a flat ride around the perimeter of the park that let you go 200 mph around cedar point in a minute and a half... now THAT would be cool. No hills or anything, just a smooth, fast ride.
For reproducing fine art they use drum scanners and a variety of propriatory software scanning packages.. If anyone were to try to copy money this would be the way.
Real money is printed Gravure anyways, which wouldn't be too hard to set up if you could afford it. But for someone like me who does have access to a drum scanner and gravure plates it would be too easy to print up some money if i could match the paper right.
As a printer, i'm disspointed that my Epson 7600's capabilities to print certain shades of green is crippled because of it's ability to copy money.
They should just use some out-of gamut colors like hot pink, ones that cannot be scanned in or printed.

The movies on that site don't work.
It's a spoiler, like what wiggers put on thier cars.
