I have several Dr. Bott USB KVM switches at work and have never in two years had any issues with them, working with both and 4-port in the server area and an 8-port in my office. I even have PCs running linux on the same switch with several Macs, never any problems. They are a tad pricey ($399 for the 8-port) but are worth every penny.
Isn't that Shadowbane? I heard they were doing something similar, being able to add continents in real time over a modem connection, no more massive "EQ-like" downloads. Curious if thats the game you talking about, I havent played it.
Since you could now build a Supercomputer with OTC stuff (well, Im sure you could before today as well), will that make software like this (read: Beowulf) fall under export laws preventing exportation to countries like Iraq and China?
If you go to Pricewatch and look under videocards/GeForce 3 there are already several place selling the 200 versions. Heck this place on Yahoo Stores is taking preorders for the Hercules GeForce3 Titanium 500 to ship on Oct 13! Talk about fast turnaround. Guess they had to step up or let the Radeon 8500 be king.
Finder customization didn't make it publically until Mac OS X Public beta (Sep 2000), it wasnt even in Mac OS X DP4 which shipped in May of 2000. IE 5 for Mac shipped a few months prior to that and was even included as a carbon app on the developer disc.
How about not posting spoliers like that on the front of Slashdot before everyone (at least in the US) has had a chance to watch the show. I'll rarely complain about spoilers but Ive been good to not read or even see any commercials on this series. I was looking forward to that ignorance.
No, that movie was made with Final Cut and other help. No, its not possible to capture DVDs (with Apple tools) on Mac OS X. Also to note are that Grab.app as well as CMD-Shift 3/4 will not screengrab while the DVD Player is open.
I worked hard on those movies and appreciate the compliments, though.
Looks like someone has done some judicious rewriting here and there. No
harm done because the sentiments are still good, but if anyone wants to
read the original script of Sinclair's June 5, 1973 broadcast, the real
McCoy is at http://www.rcc.ryerson.ca/schools/rta/ccf/news/uni que/am_text.html
Maybe elsewhere in the country that would be a fine philosophy, but in the bay area where your paying $1400 a month for a studio, its not that easy. Ive had several friends that were laid off just immediately leave. Just like rats, we all know that the ship is sinking. Just my 2 cents.:)
Some interteresting facts.... and the trailer.

Review: Memento
·
· Score: 2
The main inspiration the writer used was the fact that he was mugged. That instant feeling of hate, anger, and fear he felt those first 15 minutes. He said he wondered what if... what if that feeling never went away. What if that was your motivation to find the perp...
Ive also heard that at film festivals (this movie has been finished and played overseas for almost a year) that many major studios went up to the actors and told them what a brilliant film it was. When asked if they would pick it up for American distribution, the comments always went along the line of "This movie is too complex for the American audience". Guess these are the same guys who told Soderberg that noone would go see Traffic.
And for a shameless plug to the trailer I did, find it here. You'll need QuickTime, and yes, I am a company man.
Generic Media stores your content in QuickTime for and transcodes it to the player of your choice and streams it to you. This allows one original to be kept and easily roll with new technology/players/formats as they arrive. The just had a press release a few weeks ago. Its founded by one of the original QuickTime Engineers, Peter Hoddie.
How about that the Finder is a Carbon application that is removable. Could be replaced by a Cocoa version, or a version someone else writes (kalidescope). Couple that with Darwin and you could have a PC running the exact same look and feel OS without Apples help.
Ok, maybe thats not the core, but the chewy goodness on the outside.
Other thing of note is that the Mac OS X team is mostly comprised of NeXTStep engineers... who had NeXT running on PA-Risc, Motorola, and Intel.
X will ship March 24th, guarenteed. $129 includes 3 CD's. Mac OS 9.1, Mac OS X, and Mac OS X Developer tools.
Actually, I cant see MS releasing an OS for the G4... kinda why BeOS never could either... damn proprietary mobos...
But anyways.... you have to keep in mind that Motorola put quite a pinch on Apple with all their CPU blunders.... X is running in full form minus classic at Apple. They may never release it, but its certainly nice to know they have chip options in the future...
Oh, and the Finder is a separate app. Carbon actually. If you want, build your own and get rid of Aqua... make it look like windows, kde, gnome or whatever.... they power is yours.
Its nothing really devastating if people link to the akamai link, Im sure its prefered. Apple still gets the head count. Whereas is joesfansite downloads it, and puts it on theirs, Apple doenst get that count.
Ive played PS2 and this is a great opportunity. You can even switch the menus to English on the PS2 console. This station is very English ready, minus some launch titles. The ability to play Region 1 DVDs seems to stem from the software encrytption on the the memory card, and hopefully any PS2 bought now and restored with American software later would be 100% ready to go. Heres to hoping.
It isnt QuickTime Streaming. First, the delivery is via http, not rtsp. Second, there are no hinted tracks in the QuickTime file itself. A file that has been streaming will only contain a "Streaming track". Regular QuickTime files have a video track and an audio track. This information is in the "Get info" menu option.
The ability to save a QuickTime file from a site comes via 3 methods. First is paying for QuicKTime Pro and using the "Save as" button on the controller bar. Second is to hunt the exact URL for the file and "Save as" via the browers. Third is to hunt for recently created.mov files in your browser cache.
Lastly, the "Click here to play movie." is actually.... a QuickTime movie itself! Its in the embed tag and clicking on it points to the actual QuickTime File.
Yes, Ive seen both versions of Toy Story 2. As luck has it I live less than a mile from Cinemark @ Legacy in Plano Texas, one of six digital theaters in the nation. I went to see Toy Story 2 for the second time this past weekend and made sure to check out the DLP version. The digital version of TS 2 was awesome. It certainly does make a difference but.... TS 2 was all digital to begin with. I honestly couldnt tell you if "Bridges of Madison County" would any better with DLP. There are some things I did notice about the movie and projection. First being, all scenes where crisp, colorful, and very clear. Second, the was some dithering so to speak on very small objects or text (such as credits) if you really looked. And lastly there was some sore of image all over the screen. I cant really describe it, but it looked like a very slight amount of heat from the projecter (like the heat from a barbecue, how it distorts vision when you look through it) was appearing on the screen if you looked hard enough (no, my eyeballs werent popping out).
All in all, movies like TS2 and Star Wars that are mostly or all digital will look great. Sure, its not as big a differnce as with VHS and DVD, but it is a step forward, and face it... we will be going there.
With all that said, my final thoughts on it are... cool, maybe I wont even have to watch the film boy melt the film 4 times during the first run of X-Files ever again, so much so I had to see it in another theater so other day. Cheers, Chad

When I went to Naval Intellegence school in 1992 these cases were everywhere. Even the MFM and Floppy disk cables had a thick mesh around them. We had to disassemble a few dozen for scrap, took us all day. They were mostly designed to meet standards for electronic emmissions for computers at sea. The requirements these days are much less strict. As for the 8088 processor, thats about right, although I can recall a few retrofitted with 386 upgrades. We ran Zenix on the 386's using a thick coax lan, and the system was designated "PC NIPS" for Naval Intelligence Processing Systems.

Hell, they even have a switch for 2 montitors on 4 computers!

Wonder which one will ship a Mac version first?

But who says Apple never ripped off MS?
The custom toolbar in IE 5 for Mac was taken and tweaked to be used in the custom finder for OS X!
I think little things like this go both ways.

And DVD Playback does kick ass on Mac OS X v10.1
