Oh, thank you! I would never have seen that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
tiggy, you might be able to try HJSplit or MacHacha. I haven't ever split a file, but MacHacha was very slick to rejoin parts of a big video I downloaded recently.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
once i've ripped the DVD, how can i break a file into smaller parts so that they're uploadable to youtube?
If you're willing to spend $30, Quicktime Pro will do this easily.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
For CPU geeks:
Visual 6502: a visual simulation of a vintage microprocessor, in Javascript
The Visual 6502 project uses Javascript (!) and hi-rez images of vintage processors (notably the MOS 6502) to recreate functional, visual models of these ancient beasts:
...
This model is very accurate and can run classic 6502 programs, including Atari games. By rendering our polygons with colors corresponding to their 'high' or 'low' logic state, we can show, visually, exactly how the chip operates: how it reads data and instructions from memory, how its registers and internal busses operate, and how toggling a single input pin (the 'clock') on and off drives the entire chip to step through a program and get things done.
Kinda' pretty to watch.

For OS and Mac geeks:
Looking back at OS X's origins
The fortunes of the Mac platform drastically changed 10 years ago, with the release of a simple CD.
On Sept. 13, 2000, Apple released its Mac OS X Public Beta, a limited-time trial run of the ultra-modern, groundbreaking operating system that would replace the old Mac OS. Priced at $30 for a CD distributed via Apple’s online store, the beta gave the general public their first taste of an operating system that would go on to win popular acclaim and attract scores of Windows users to the Macintosh.
Lots o' backstory on the development of OS X....

Seriously. I've long been a user of both Macs and Windows, though I've generally favored Mac. But OSX in general, and Leopard in particular, are my favorite operating systems ever. Beautiful.

Hey. New board.
I find myself hating the Finder with fair regularity and wishing for something as generally functional as Explorer, but otherwise I'm right there with you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What do you find wrong with Finder?

Gris,
I like Path Finder a whole lot. That's my "finder" of choice.
