Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm too lazy to search, but a while back, someone was having trouble installing Windows Media Player on a Mac?
I just had the same problem w/ my office Powerbook, and it turned out that the damn thing didn't have Stuffit Expander installed. After I downloaded and installed that, I was finally able to open the .bin file that Microsoft packaged the WMP installer in. (Pre-Stuffit, the Powerbook kept trying to open it with Excel, which wasn't going so well.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Uhm, WMP for Mac isn't supported by Microsoft any more.
You should be using Flip4Mac which is a QT plugin.

Hey. New board.
Yup, what Tom said. I just wish Flip4Mac would release an intel version. Having to open Quicktime in Rosetta when i want to use it to watch a WMV file is very obnoxious (plus, way slow).

There's MPlayer for OSX
I use MPlayer for Linux and it works quite well, don't know how good it is for OS X, but it plays just about anything.

Hey. New board.
It won't play WMV9 files. Of this I am certain. I'm an mplayer (and mencoder) user from way back.

I have a friend (no really) who's desperately looking to ahem the last WW and isn't having any success. Has anyone got any leads? (You can email me, rather than linking here. )

Hello Tech!Buffistas
This would go in Press, but since I'm a lurker and this is techy, I thought it would be better to post here first ang get a yay or nay. I have a Powerbook G3 Firewire (Pismo) I'm looking to sell with an upgraded g4 550mhz cpu, upgraded dvdrom/cdr, and 768mb ram running os 10.3 along with all sorts of nifty software, but a dead battery and very slight damage to the LCD.
Is anyone here interested? Should I go ahead and post in Press or go back to lurking?
Email addy always good if I was lucky enough to pique interest.

fucking orbitz. I'm trying to book a multiple city flight Seattle to Ny, then Richmond or BWI back to Seattle for my Mom. My Mom really really prefers non-stop flight. Seattle to NY there are non stop. VA to Seattle none. OK - well we can live with that. But if there are no non-stop return flights then Orbitz can't see the freakin non stop flights there. If I put in returning from washington D.C. then there is a perfect flight to NY. As soon as I have her return from Richmond or BWI - Orbitz can't see the freakin flight I want anymore. Can't even alter the choice list. Cause as soon as you change an airport the search changes and the choice I'm trying to get disappears.

Hmm. Maybe try a different search engine? Dunno what dates or anything you want, but if I pick random dates in June, Expedia let me pick a nonstop SEA-NYC, and then whatever flight from BWI-SEA...
