11/30   I need to send an AVI file to a WindowsME user.
        DVIX, the codec i usually use,  is supposedly not supported.
        Anyone know of a codec or movie format that would work?Thanks.
        \_ I'd be pretty suprised if MPEG2 didn't work.  Or they could just
           install the DivX codec.
           \_ MPEG2 typically doesn't work unless you've installed a DVD player
              program.
           \_ You're thinking of MPEG1.  Anyway, assuming the op meant DivX,
              the WinME user simply could install ffdshow.
              \_ Or VLC, or simply install the divx codec.
                 \_ VLC is completely awesome. http://www.videolan.org
        \_ The other option is to get them to drop WinME.  Microsoft
           should have to pay an apology fee to everyone who had to use
           that piece of trash.
              \_ Or VLC.
                 \_ The WINME user was told to view the video using
                 realplayer, expecting that the correct codec would be
        downloaded and installed. Instead it came back with the error
        message about it not being supported. Sorry about the typo.
        \_ Matroska codec pack.  -John

2/5     I like Adobe Flash. When written correctly, it scales along
        with your browser size. It looks consistent on every single
        browser. It is predictable. On the other hand, I'm not a big
        fan of CSS/HTML, which for the most part, look wildly different
        between browsers, and don't even work consistently or
        correctly at times. So why do so many people (like Steve Jobs)

10/2    Is there any Adobe Flash plugin for Firefox 3?  I go to a site that
        uses Flash and click "install plugin", then it says Adobe Flash Player
        is not available.
        \_ Uh, yes there is. Download and install it yourself if it doesn't
           work.

11/27   CalMail has been down for a few days (hardware failure and database
        corruption -- sounds like fun!) and is starting to come back online.
        Looks like they're planning to outsource all campus mail to either
        Google Apps or Microsoft 365 as part of Operational Excellence.

4/28    Win 3.1 was more widely adopted than Win 3.0.  Win XP (5.1) was more
        widely adopted than Win 2k (5.0).  Now it looks like Win 7 (6.1) is
        going to be more widely adopted than Vista (6.0).  Is this a trend on
        Microsoft x.0 versions being bad?
        \_ duh.
        \_ "more widely adopted" ... well... what are you basing these numbers

12/2    IE usage down but still kicking the majority ass. Chrome is also
        rising up high, almost at the Safari level. Firefox isn't
        doing badly either. Sorry Opera, you had your chance.

        \_ As long  as Opera is the only browser you can use on your Wii,
           I see a fine long life ahead of it.

Purchase of a Powermac G5 (2005-11-1717 November 2005) Thanks to the nume rous contributions we received from everywhere, we were finally able to buy a second hand dual G5 18 GHz. This will be used to debug sound play back on Powermacs and to host the VLC nightly builds. T he whole VideoLAN team is very happy of this overwhelming result. We wou ld like to thank all of our users, sponsors and partners, who made this result possible.
