I couldn't stand not posting it. I got 2 working inkjets using different technologies and I have nothing against them.
The stuff here needed huge amount of printouts, I had a spare money and I got really tired of buying ink (original) or printing via clone stuff (which DOES have diff.) so I went and bought a Epson C1100 Colour Laser.
The brand choice was not so random, I did my usual trick, checked around which brand does really care about OS X development etc.
The thing is, I really feel like I wasted huge amount of money to ink. Because of a illustration I misunderstood, I spilled 75% of toner (dust?) which you know, no printer comes with full. It was stated on manual already.
As I am lucky(!), my mailbox under that situation (black toner warning) has become full with 200 page word documents which _have to get printed_. Believe or not, that spilled toner printed:
443 total pages, 262 of them colour, 181 B/W
Of course I am not mad to count:) Printer counts, just printed a status sheet. Yes, that postscript show off page still prints, Epson still warns me that I should get a toner before it ends.
I am not advertising a particular brand/model here but staring to the ink packages I still have on desk, I say something is wrong with inkjet technology.
If I had to print 30 pages/month, I would stay with ink of course.
I went there again as I don't care IRC serious but it turns out to be, its not a joke at all.
Its "toby" at irc.freenode.net which is said to be from Apple itself being chanop on excellent open source projects not-so-excellent official support channels.
Its a normal thing which is a problem for any opensource projects IRC channel.
Scroll to "Unix" and just see the platforms they support.
For a commercial quality media player, just go http://www.real.com/linux , to support their development if you can code real stuff will make into even 2mb Nokia 7650 running on Symbian 60, go https://www.helixcommunity.org/ , OPEN SOURCE except codecs (they don't want them end in Redmond)
I supported Real just because whatever OS I run, their player actually worked. Others like MS said simply "fsck off" (mplayer is not relevant)
Even Apple being asshole to their own mac customers, forget quicktime 7 if you don't have their latest OS (or 1 less) while they accept that awful anti multimedia OS, windows 2000!
You know, they open source it (except the industry secret parts redmond looks for), submit major happenings to slashdot, get nokia on board for much better helix symbian support but a single AC still gets "+5 insightful" when he says "fuck realplayer, its spyware"
Wonder why we guys previously being huge opensource fanatics stay away from linux and bought a g5 just to run anything else than MS OS?
Ahem, he has a huge club to run. check www.dnalounge.com and everything that club runs is open source, mostly Linux.
When I saw he moved to OS X, just 4 words came to my mind: open source cocoa projects
Not naming any project allthough I love them and donate whenever I can. The problem is, some CS students out there learned from their bigger brothers "to be cool, bitch about JWZ"
JWZ is not a polite guy or anything, I don't see a point of any post here, guy said "don't make it news" already.
Also at his site, it says for years:
``I have yet to come across so much self-righteous bullshit as when I gaze upon the massive heap of crap that is the jwz web experience.''
I kinda have clue about who JWZ is and by chance I have read that entry myself before posted to Slashdot (he has a LIFE to check) but I have no clue who the heck are those random people posting shit about him.
Yep, he doesn't like Mozilla, he left it, live with it people. You try to be cool but you look awfully funny, jealous CS students.
BTW, yep he coded unix netscape and OK, lets be nice to moz guys, he did nothing like bugzilla etc but.. WHAT DID YOU DO?
With such user profile, Linux desktop goes nowhere.
QT 7 from Apple system requirements: 233 MHz Intel Pentium class or better processor (oh always a lie) At least 128 MB of RAM (ok, a bit swapping) Windows 2000 or XP
Windows 2000 really shipped in year 2000 right? Not like Longhorn story...
The point I want to make is. If you are a Apple customer running anything less than 10.3.9 (Panther will all updates), you can't watch that Quicktime 7 video.
Too many zealots out there, hope you understood what I mean without giving more details or commenting.
If it happens lets hope those stickers are gold plated.
Since Apple will have no problem selling same parts %30 more expensive to such a community.
While even non geeks are moving to AMD 64 for games, performance, we leave PowerPC G5 processor for Intel so Apple's pipe dream of racing with Dell happens.
The day Apple ships a $500 'real" PC, Dell will ship same configuration or even better for $400. We will even hear their already funny price for XP license will fall to more funny levels.
Its just another sign Apple ripped off its customers and continues to try.
There is nothing needing OS level technology (kernel etc) at h264. It could run like,e.g. Realplayer 8 having that tiny real 10 codec. Also remember, Real doesn't need a OS upgrade to do it. Codec is some kind of inout thing, data comes in, it goes out decompressed, plain (x) fps raw thing.
Which secret part of kernel does it? heh
Lets bet 10.5 will run awfully slow on G5 consumer level machines like iMac and people will go out and buy Mactels.
Its what happens if a hall full of developers, I mean guys at some coding level cheers Steve Jobs like 13 year old kids, without anyone asking "wtf Steve? We all became Altivec geniuses for your CPU".
I remember they asked a director about a protest at Cannes movie festival, some cheered, some booed. Political stuff.
They asked him "It didn't bother you?", he said "It could be a problem if everyone cheered or everyone booed, both ways it means something is definitely wrong"
Of course his grammar doesn't suck that much:) I am telling the point he made.
Speaking about lameness, I was banned from a relatively quality mac channel on a relatively elite network (full of developers) for defending PPC against Intel, yes right now! not in 2007 or something.
Man that is sign of a "cult", "our mighty leader decided" type stuff. not good.
I would go AMD or Intel, whichever is really faster next 2 years. Isn't this "fast" thing meant for games, multimedia applications?
I go whichever OS has all games (read Carmacks post) and more multimedia applications and can run whatever AGP card, Sound card I plug it in.
It won't be mactel, it will be Wintel or AMDTel than.
They tell us not to be "zeolot" or "fanboy", why the heck OS X matters than? Didn't I know to install Slackware latest to my P4 1800 and dual boot to xp?
Steve Jobs is no god, Apple is just a hardware maker, I go with most compatible and fastest.
As a mac user, I will be able to plug SB Live, standard SB Live to my mactel and run it with couple of drivers from creative? No.
Also that will happen while win32/64 driver with all directsound support is there.

Eh, its what I tried to mean. When real coders code, Mhz becomes more highly irrelevant.
Oh whatever, he decided.
Yesterday I got banned from a macintosh channel for defending powerpc against Intel.

I gave up linux which I was running for 1 year (no good wine, no dual boot) just because my brand new logitech usb mouse didn't work when I plugged :)
:)
Don't jump and say "configure this, compile that", let me remind it came with a PS/2 adapter of course (that time, it was rule)
You come to a certain point of frustration that simplest thing makes you go postal about os you use.
On a similar moment again, I gave up x86 pc of mine, I think RAM was dead, went and bought G5 1600 Mac
BTW- you guys should use ALSA on linux for sound if its not embedded to kernel already.
I kinda have clue about who JWZ is and by chance I have read that entry myself before posted to Slashdot (he has a LIFE to check) but I have no clue who the heck are those random people posting shit about him.

It maybe surprising to you that quicktime 7 is also awfully coded. Its one of first apps I have seen from Apple shipped _that_ unoptimized.
Panther users got so mad that they had to ship a 6.5 REinstaller, imagine that!
Lots of professional apps are also kind of broken.
About the HD wmedia, it looks like MS shipped a "core image" like patch for nvidia chips which gives lots of work to GPU. (which should be)

Lets bet
You look like a geek having many computers.
Try something for me. Watch the h264 videos from Apple site on a 1800 mhz (no need more) desktop running Pentium 4.
Now watch them on a 1800 Mhz G5.
Have a nice day, no need to be that optimistic or apple apologist for 2 years.
I know Steve Jobs is genius, he figured Apple customers just look for design etc, not the CPU or performance really.
There we go back to 80s arch.

System Requirements
Because of the processor-intensive requirements of high definition video, you need a powerful Windows XP-based PC to get the best experience.
Minimal Configuration
(Play 720p video)
Microsoft Windows XP
2.4 GHz processor or equivalent
___
I watch 30fps 720p video via qt 7, h264 codec on G5 (single) 1600
It was a good choice Steve, real good choice!
Its just another sign Apple ripped off its customers and continues to try.

Can you give your address so we can exchange pcs? I have a G5 1600 768mb here.
From what I understand from Steve Jobs speech, its slower than your P4. I mean, it became, overnight *g*

Man that is sign of a "cult", "our mighty leader decided" type stuff. not good.
Apple chose 30 years old arch too, so it doesn't matter I think.
I go with the best compatible. I went PPC in fact when switching to Mac.
I would go AMD or Intel, whichever is really faster next 2 years. Isn't this "fast" thing meant for games, multimedia applications?
I go whichever OS has all games (read Carmacks post) and more multimedia applications and can run whatever AGP card, Sound card I plug it in.

Includes Universal Studios too. Oh, please call them and say Quark is dead, they look like they aren't aware.
But wait, aren't them the morons still uses AVID while we don't hear about AVID all time? So AVID must be dead too!
Besides running the "greatest" and "latest" OS, why would that bother a DTP professional uses that huge Mac for design on a Apple Talk network?
I mean OS X native or not.
Unless you work at a newspaper or have friends working at newspaper, you wouldn't normally hear Quark.
I saw Softimage 4 years after its release, at Comdex but I didn't come to slashdot saying 'Oh, is there a thing like Softimage?"
"According to a friend who works at Quark (and is busy trying to find a more secure job)"
He just proved there is a reason for his friends concerns about his jobs security *g*
