Just because some of this stuff gets my panties in a bunch... Piracy IS stealing. You can't say it isn't. Period. You can justify the morality of it to yourself however you want... it's a moot point, it's still stealing. Period. Some people do it because they feel they have no other...

'just' a movie player? Quicktime Pro lets you edit, basically, ANY type of quicktime media. It is EXTREMELY powerful. Now it's ALSO an mpeg4 authoring tool... With quicktime pro... you can compile still frame animations, edit clips of movies together, composite video tracks, add...

Appleworks? Hell... I'm hard pressed to find a word-processing need past TextEdit, let alone Appleworks...

My take on shareware pirating is that people simply don't want the HASSLE of paying for the software... no matter how cheap it is. I mean... five dollar software titles are being cracked and pirated... you can't discount that anymore. It's not even worth it. It's better to charge a...

I doubt it makes your machine unbootable... you might just need to kill his application when it starts up and remove it from the login items... This utility is run AFTER the machine boots and AFTER you login... so the machine is pretty much up and running in entirety before this guy's...

I think a nominal upgrade fee for the ability to work with MPEG4 is perfectly reasonable. You aren't paying $45 for Quicktime pro... you paid $30 for the use of it prior and $10 or $15 for the updated codecs that Apple has to pay royalties for to license you the codec. You can keep on...

all I could remember was the two d's :) I do most of my layout in illustrator :)

are you sure it isn't .idd? (InDesign Document)

and then... ermmmm.... yeah....

Speakable Items (plaintalk) was/is mostly a novelty... the problem is that your roommates screaming commands at your computer to shut down are only funny the first time... if even... Except for the disabled or people who can have a very private environment... and even then the commands are a...

If you're referring to speech as user input... I think it has some limited usage, especially to the disabled. However, most people have the preconception that the next big step in UI will end up being voice recognition for everything. The problem is that voice input is inherently much...

First, it does take a moment for applications to get paged out of memory, especially if they were being taxed. Secondly, you are strongly limited by the amount of memory you have. Increasing yours to 512 would give you a decided performance boost. At lower than that, especially with beefy...

BAH... you elitists with your PICTURES and your RASTER DISPLAYS. What I want is eighty columns by twenty-five rows of pure ASCII passion! If it can't be rendered with ANSI codes, it isn't worth the bandwidth... :)

Wow... I knew a ton of the people who did those graphics... a lot of them graduated but I see Goerge around ... mostly Animation but some CGD people as well... It's a small world eh?

Your old 5 Pro key should work fine. Just install over the top.

As another quick sidenote... the people using wmv's most seems to be pornographers... I find that amusing :) I don't think Microsoft was appealing to that particular portion of the recording industry :) Can anyone make sense of http://www.macporn.com/ ?

You'll want to install QT6. It's good. mpeg4 is good. .wmv's have all kinds of intellectual property flags and other BS in them... basically... it was microsoft's way of placating the recording industry. There are hack software to convert them out there... you just need to dig it up, since...

You can indeed encode only a soundtrack as a .mp4, it will just be a stub file with the sound track and the ISMA (?) compatability tracks. As for divX... the big thing that avi2mov does is reorder the content within the file... the resulting file is usually smaller than the original .avi...

bottom line... private community, ***** if you want but in the long run is it worth the time? Ask yourself... a year from now... what quantative difference will my being able to post **** on macosx.com make? I'm not taking sides, I too think it's silly, but I don't think it's worth the...

I write most of my papers in Illustrator :)
