Doable?
If you had a professional company do it. But as yg17 said, it wouldn't be cheap.
If you do this though, you must have a deafeningly loud siren; no security system is complete without one. :D

I always wonder wether people actually use visual plugins with iTunes :confused:
hmm, I (almost) never turn them on, and I like to keep the "minimized" player "floating" on top...

I was hoping letting this thread pan out for a few days I could read an amazing story and have a good ending... too bad this isnt the case yet...
I really do hope you catch them. Its pretty amazing how you might be able to get your Xbox back from Connect360. If you do end up catching them you should email the developer and tell him your amazing story. Not only can it connect your 360 to your mac, but it also is able to catch crooks ;)

Unfortunately, QuickTime player is only available for two platforms, and on the platform with wider distribution the player simply isn't very good.
Agreed.
Trash Real all you like, but their player is available on many more platforms, and it can offer passable video with dialup-friendly file sizes.
I definitely agree there. Out of the 3 streamers, Real's my favourite.
Quicktime handily bests Real when more bandwidth is available, but broadband availability is still far from universal :(
Really? DSL has something like 93% coverage here in NZ, but I suppose some countries aren't as well off.

Windows has 95 % of share
Until a year ago, I was the lead Mac systems engineer for one of the largest outsourcing vendors supporting five NASA field centers. These centers were the research centers, not the operational centers (a different vendor suppoorted them). Just as a tidbit, when I left, the share of Macs at these centers was about 28% (Windows ~63%, the rest Linux/Unix, DEC, etc.). Admittedly, this was down about 3-4% over the previous 3 years. One center, NASA Ames, was around 80% Mac. Sadly, this information doesn't get propagated as widely as, say, the improper removal of Macs from NASA Johnson a few years back.
g-rock2K is correct that OS X is being embraced by the scientific and engineering community within NASA, largely because there are ports of computationally-intensive visualization and analysis applications available for OS X and the results can be easily moved into presentation applications. This last par tis significant, I believe, because they have access to faster computers (parallel systems, clusters, etc.) but such computers don't have much support for the presentation and sharing of the results. Clearly, the power of the G4 contributes to its lure, but it's the combination of OS X and the G4 that is selling Macs at NASA. It's not so much how fast they can do individual, specific tasks (which, sadly, are about all that's tested by benchmarks) but how OS X on G4s enables them to do their entire job more quickly, not just the bits and pieces ...
cheerz!

Voted No, but this is what Apple gets for going made in China along with all the many,many problems they have had from made in China by someone making 50 bucks a mionth.:D Shame on Apple. Bring back the California made Mac. What a bunch of greedy bastards those Apple corporate types. Building Communist China paid for by you and me.
Yeah, but I don't miss paying $6000 for a Mac.

It is interesting to note that in the last reported quarter, Apple made a mere US$13 million selling computers and services. It also made US$26 million from interest (and other income). After a US$7 million tax payment, it netted its US$32 million. This has been the case for many previous quarters.
Apple ain't getting rich selling machines.

I think that if the Gentoo Portage system for OSX comes along in a big way it would allow for a lot more Open Source apps to become much more widely adopted. Maybe someone will decide to port it to Windows, just to give them a taste of what they could have...

So I got a call from the investigator in charge of my case earlier tonight. They had done a lot of background work on the house I had suspected. A lot of pawn shops in the area had the house down for a bunch of random video games, DVDs and jewlrey. This gave the cops enough info combined with my info to get a warrant.
They went to the house and a lady answered the door. She was more than willing to let the police in to search the place. After searching, they came up with nothing. Not even a single game, controller, anything. The house is a rental house. The guy with the pawn record had moved out two months ago. His lease was up December 31st and this new lady had moved in during January.
This basically leaves the police back at square one. There are no leads, no other suspect houses in the neighborhood. Except for Microsoft.
Basically, all Microsoft has to do is give them the IP address that my XBox is using and the police have the ability to do the rest. They can contact the ISP and track down where they are connecting to the internet.
Microsoft, however, will not do this. I have called them numerous times as have the police. Microsoft claims they have no way to track an IP address when you sign on to XBox Live. As any of you know, this is total BS. It is so simple to track an IP address, especially when you sign on to any service requiring a password and screen name.
My question now turns to this: how do I get Microsoft to give up this information?? The cops are not able to get any info, Microsoft is giving me a run-around. I'm open to any ideas, if anyone knows a phone number for someone higher up the food chain at Microsoft, that would be great. I'm just really pissed off that someone is still using my 360 and Microsoft won't do anything to help.

Voted for IV, but it's really II. Golbez was the Best Villian Ever. He's big, he engages you in fights you can't win (well used in this game), and drops Meteo on you. Plus, cool theme music.
Yeah, Golbez was quite evil. More evil than Kefka, the "silent, just mess you up" type. :)
Golbez was a boss that was easier to hate, that's for sure. He did worse to more people than Kefka. Still...
Kefka was a useless, giggling fop.
...that's one of the reasons why I liked him. He was so insane he laughed half the time he did anything. I liked that part of his character.
In fairness to Sephiroth (screw Aeris), he did also destroy your town, kill Tifa's dad, and get within inches of dropping a killer meteor on the whole planet.
The only time I've ever thought Sephiroth was cool was in Advent Children and that was briefly.
IMO in FFVII he was a big emo pansy, just like Cloud. The only character in FFVII I really liked was Vincent...the rest of them I could've done without. Barrel/Barrett was a stereotypical clich�d idiot, Yuffie was dumb and annoying, Red XIII was alright, Cid was...Cid, Tifa was cute and that's about it, Cait Sith was ok...am I missing any? I can't believe I wasted the 30 hours I did on FFVII before quitting and never going back because I couldn't stand the game anymore.

Apple won't be using this 970 anytime soon. 2005 at best, if ever. A new chipset would be required, plus tons of new drivers and all software would be have to rewritten to be fully optimized. Not likely to happen in such a depressed tech sector we got.
Motorola is all we can pray for now. Motorola needs to stop monkeying around, get off their duffs, stop drinking imported champaigne, and go to Intel and license some of their tech to get the G4 clock speed up to 3GHZ, ASAP. If they did that, we could easily see dual 3GHZ G4s or G5s PowerMacs in January 2003. That is the most viable, fastest, and cheapest solution for both Apple and Motorola.

...if i remember correctly, some 5 (10?) years ago, you could compare application forms and pamphlets from Apple and IBM and smile:
- IBM's was, well, "IBM-Like", with people wearing suits, ties, the whole pamphlet sounding professional (and boring),
- Apple's was based on the same structure (not unintentionally, i'd say), with more colours, more life, and people wearing more casual clothes, something of a parody.
Although i'm pretty sure it's wrong, i like to imagine them IBM guys in suits and shades, just like the bad guys in The Matrix... :D
Ok, I know, that works also for FBI style, or MIB, but hey, there's no trademark on dark suits... (and IBM guys won't have the bulk of a gun on the chest or under the armpit, maybe a little PDA...)
