You have a clue about how big Cannes festival is? If you check the movies which got awarded (Especially IRANIAN censored movies) you can understand the reasons behind this decision.
Oh, different, in Iran government (imams) censor the movie, in USA, Disney does.
You are from UK, not Europe. Speak for your own mind.
Be open people! If you voted/support Blair and Bush speak your mind. Yes, you think Iraq war is right and it must be done. Easy as that!
I also know the French agenda or how a political decision this is but you gotta ask Disney when this movie breaks box office record OR internet download record.
As a tradition on every computer I bought since Amiga 500, I buy a antivirus.
I bought this G5, converting from PC at November 2003, checking my receipts, I bought the Intego virusbarrier 10 days later after seeing Virex and Norton are pure crap. Also I have special feelings about Mcafee and Symantec from windows days:)
I agree to your post but... Remembering back in the day how damn DASA (one of first amiga viruses) effected me, I decided to carry on my tradition.
I just don't agree "snake oil", its a real big blame to a security company and its users. I bought virusbarrier knowing there is nearly no threat to OS X oh and "shoot me", I bought netbarrier too. Just I don't like how OS X firewall works and not too friendly to my everyday usage.
Intego did ONE stupid thing. They advertised their product in that press release. Yes, it actually "finds" whatever that is but it was a big PR stupidness showing their product.
btw, you have a mac antivirus license too:) Virex heheh, may start to wonder how much of your.mac membership fee goes to Mcafee:P
Its ALWAYS PR stunt... One of few mac security companies demoed the problem with finder (Intego, mp3). remember the names they were called?
Mac OSX users (not the old school ones remembering os 7-8-9) thinks their Mac is at NSA terminal level security, its the biggest threat to mac security itself!
See what happened to Intego when they spoke about a possible exploit and with a simple demo it was possible.
The amazing is, there is a glitch actually in finder COULD BE used to do evil things but that company only showed (with demo) that its possible. They were labeled everything. Including coding viruses to sell their products.
When a real virus ships for OS X coded by some lamer believe it will be big deal, even some newspapers won't be printed. Why? I personally know a newspaper declines to buy antivirus for macs just because "they are safe".
In fact, even I like the idea of pure opensource, license free codec, I stay away from Ogg for "psychological" reasons.
I got real, real tired of Ogg showing up on every single Real,Quicktime story and people being fanatical evangelists for Ogg format. I bet the authors doesn't like it too.
Also with a little plugin on OSX, I can make iTunes use Ogg instead of AAC on my ripped cds... Well, I prefer AAC myself. Sounds more natural, especially on bass part.
Ever seen Applescript applications? They even sell some of those commercially (shareware coders)! Its virtually possible to code a little game with applescript even.
http://www.apple.com/applescript/
The hilarious thing is IMHO, the Windows Scripting Language caused nothing but trouble on windows. I remember back in my windows days the first thing I did was disabling it after I do fresh install.
For example, I use Applescript built in mail.app to check my IMAP box limits..
Eudora, both in windows and mac world is known/famous for its handling of amazing amounts of mails.
Yet, Qualcomm, that giant behind Eudora still couldn't figure Spam filtering to some degree in 2004 must be free and yes, there are non english speakers wanting to use their application (no utf support)
The degree of mail handling is... A coder friend of mine had to sort 150.000 mails coming to a support department after a major crash there... It did.:)
But... Spam filtering must be free, it does nothing but make people hate from application and uninstall...
I still don't understand why Qualcomm needs my $50 anyway lol.
I hope your software, when ported will use 64 bit instructions provided by those cpus. It should be easy, as Apple claims its only "-fast" argument passed to Apple gcc.
Not a coder but I heard 64bit is specially good for such applications... I tried it with beta distributed.net 64bit client, got amazing results with 1600 mhz G5. (just wanted to check a real life benchmark)
Why you try to run a software which doesn't respect your OS?
I have a G5 Mac, running OS X, I hate my computer idling so searched what could work here, found folding@home has a good,native client for Mac, running it for weeks...
If you have read what happened to poor French company "Intego" proving there can be a serious security problem about how finder deals with files, you would post this story as AC IMHO;)
Poor guys got nearly executed by community.
There can't be any security problem on OSX! Its not Windows man! How much did BillG paid you to post it?!!:)))
I am kinda new Apple/OSX user coming from x86 world.
After that Intego concept story, I figured the worst security threat to OSX is its users themselves.
Poor French company got shot as messenger and I figured 98% of OSX users are in common misconception that OSX has NSA level security or something. Guess what? It hasn't.
By a little social engineering, you can have an awful strike against all macs on the world.
Guess what? Those lamers coding viruses are reading/. too and some of them are especially windows fanatics. So, sooner or after one of them will say "lets give a lesson to Apple zealots"...
I know a newspaper personally in Istanbul who doesn't run single antivirus on 500+ macs since "its not needed".
Delete Help application instead of using another browser like Mozilla Camino, Opera or even IE for mac (yes I like it) is beyond my understanding.
Do not delete help! Use another browser which has own rendering engine (not Omni or iCab), wait for fix. You won't die or become windows user if you don't use Safari for couple of days.:)

Without any comment :) Check my signature. Oh also the errors are in purpose
But there is a movie icon and topic right?

Just as I guessed, nobody speaks about documentary (or whatever) and blames Slashdot for posting the story...
.us domain names.
Especially 'nationalist' guys with
Even from Istanbul I know that the movie won't be released by Disney/Miramax to US theaters.
/. , I tell two words for him if everything goes wrong. P2P and Bittorrent
Speaking about censorship... Welcome to capitalist way of censor. You just don't distribute it or make it hard to reach.
If Moore reads
You have a real low user ID, you should figure its not just "tech" news.
Michael Moore is what Opensource means against Microsoft (or any closed source giant)
Will it be aired in (sorry, foreigner here) in ABC for instance? It should be in theaters already but Miramax/Disney blocked it.
If you are a Bush supporter and got mad to the documentary itself, please tell so. Don't hide behind "news for nerds" slogan validity.
IMHO In fact, every political documentary is a "commentary".
Watching History Channel in Istanbul, sometimes it amazes me. You know what I mean...
Well let me tell couple of things as explanation.
:)

Its not just that simple, believe me.

Real also wants Dolby AAC for streaming. They are testing it on AOL radio already.
I understand what you mean but a company who sells "broadband" stuff (radiopass etc) is also interested in such naturally sounding codec.
Real and Sony (think about their electronics) want Dolby codecs, thats all.
In fact, even I like the idea of pure opensource, license free codec, I stay away from Ogg for "psychological" reasons.
I got real, real tired of Ogg showing up on every single Real,Quicktime story and people being fanatical evangelists for Ogg format. I bet the authors doesn't like it too.

Realnetworks wish has come true? This SDK is good for streaming too?
Real was speaking about moving to Dolby formats from Sony Atrac3 (I bet Sony itself too).
You must use a browser "happy" with OS X services. Nativity is the key.
e.g. Safari, Omniweb or many of services will me grayed.

If I told you the director is the same guy who directed "Independence Day", would you even check trailer? ;)
:P
Besides, we are currently betting with friends if there will be 2 or more religious guys in movie
Oh, well, World is gone? I will watch the movie

If you read the article, Opera itself PROVED its indeed targeting Opera only via using open source wget.
Ever wonder how MS got that big? Start to wonder...

Or or... VA Linux conspiracy?
I am licensed Omniweb 5 user, using latest beta.
:)
There is downloads in preferences and there is "edit safe applications list", from there I removed Help viewer and Disk Image mounter.
The concept worked, Help application opened but Disk image was not mounted.
I mailed them already about what to do about this exploit but I don't think they are awake now
