Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not yet! I have so much to learn.

Thanks, ND.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Not yet! I have so much to learn.

Everything I know, I learned from MacWorld magazine (and its Web site), and the macosx and macintosh LJ communities. There's also a powerbooks LJ community, but I haven't ventured in there, so I don't know how good it is.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is LJ broken for anyone else?

Looks like the price difference between +512MB and +1GB nowadays is only $140 ($119.99 vs $255.99 at crucial.com), so I'd go with ND on the +1GB recommendation.

In fact, it might be time for a memory upgrade for me!

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I just learned of this msyelf and thought I'd share with everyone.

KDX by Haxial Software [link]

While KDX works very well over the Internet, it also works very well on a LAN (local area network). KDX does not require an Internet connection, and is thus suitable for use on an internal company LAN, and for home or small business networking.

eta: Doesn't work with Win95/98/ME

So, oh brilliant buffistechnologists (buffistechnologistas?), I did a quick search online, and it looks like I'm SOL if I want to watch the Serenity trailer using Quicktime on my Linux computer. Does this sound right, or did I give up too soon? Suggestions?

Hey. New board.

You are not SOL. mplayer will play those quicktime files quite nicely if you download them using a direct link. Whatever distribution you use probably has an mplayer package just waiting to be installed however you install packages, if it's not already installed.

If you have problems viewing the QT movie even with mplayer, I can try to make some suggestions, or you could just watch this XviD reencode I made instead.
