So I keep getting this error while playing an assortment of vids on my new mac pro in quicktime. The video plays for a random amount of time, but eventually the video freezes while the audio remains playing. If I try to force quit the entire system then freezes until a hard reset. Here is the error message from the console every time it happens "/Applications/QuickTime Player.app/Contents/MacOS/QuickTime Player[8855]: AVF error: Gen6IntelGVAQueryAVDCommandStatus, TimeOut. Resetting." I am not having much success searching for this error on the boards or google. Anyone have any idea what is going on with this?

I've been coming to this forum as a registerd user since 2004. Today, I found myself looking at this thread:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=12260325
Seems like a nice review of a nice product by Targus. And a nice link to the Amazon product page for said product.
But there's a problem.
The link to Amazon is an obvious affiliate link - which isn't a problem in and of itself, but it made me curious.
Here is the affiliate link from that thread. The 'tag=macrumors-20' part is the part that tells Amazon that if the click results in a sale, Amazon will pay a percentage of money to the affiliate with the id of 'macrumors-20'.

I have no problem with affiliate marketing. The problem I wish to point out is that this forum has rules. And the thread I'm talking about breaks those rules. If the original poster would have said, "this is an affiliate link ... if you buy, I get paid, etc." I probably would have moved along.
From the rules page:
http://guides.macrumors.com/Help:Forum_Rules
"Advertising. Using the forums for advertising, site or product promotion, or for business deals and offers. You may not make posts to promote commercial, personal, or not-for-profit websites, products, or services. Threads will be deleted if their purpose is to advertise, announce, or promote products, services, or organizations, build traffic at other websites, carry out business activities, or other similar purposes that do not benefit our forum community."
Now really, I don't have a big problem with any of this. Whatever. So someone wants to make a buck. Ok. So do I.
But here's what's really puzzling. I left a comment on the thread a few hours ago. I simply wrote, "Nice affiliate link."
I even hit the 'Report Post' button on the orginal post. Only because I read the rules & saw a violation. Sorry, for being a rat. I thought Arn would like to know what's going on on his forum. That someone might be breaking his rules -- trying to make money by piggybacking on the gobs of traffic this website gets.
Some time ago, my "Nice affiliate link." comment has been deleted. The thread is still active.
In summary, here are the facts:
1. A thread was started as an obvious affiliate sales pitch disguised as a review.
2. The Amazon affiliate ID of profit-seeker is 'macrumors-20'. (By the way, all Amazon affiliate IDs end in '-20'.
3. The thread was reported for moderation.
4. My public comment, calling attention to the affiliate link, was deleted & the thread remains active.
Draw your own conclusions.
Arn? Are you there?

Really doing a clean sweep of the garage. Found old boxes with of old hardware cards (i.e. some old VR Xtreme 4MB (!!!) I paid $280 for back in the day) and lots of software (floppies and cd-roms). Even found my original MacPaint install floppy!
Would hate to dump it all in the landfill since some of it is probably "shiny" for a Machead. Is it okay to post what I have here on MacRumors and give it away?
(Except for the MacPaint floppy. I'm going to frame that puppy!)

This is the ONLY advantage Windows has over macs and ive made this mistake a few times too
on windows same-name folders get merged and each file replace gets promted for a yes/no. whereas on os x it replaces the entire folder with the other one after 1 prompt.
Could be bad if someone copied a folder called "Music" to my home directory and it would delete all my music for me
hope this get fixed in tiger

Hi everyone,
anyone planning to go to the Tampa :apple: store? I'm going to try to make it after work so I wonder how long the line will be EEK
I think I've been to every single OSX release event so I can't miss this one!
See you there? !

Agreed. I don't think that it is going to sell very well.

well, it works...I got it to work...it's just that, the drawn one in the animatic looks really cool. did you check it out?
a lot of it is the expressiveness of the quick and dirty lines...I dig it. Also, I wont go insane rendering and re-rendering.
I may use it for perspective guidance, but not for the smoke. sad really, I spent way too much time getting it to work. Oh well....

Such a thing is only possible on a jailbroken phone so you should probably ask your question on a forum more tailored to them.
i tried asking around other forums but didn't help me much. Thanks for the reply :)

Hi folks,
For the second time in a year the shell provider I use has closed down with no prior warning!!
Would anyone be able to recommend a good shell provider that is reliable and isn't just setting up a business so they can make a bit of money then shut up shop?
All I want is to run Irssi and an IRC Bouncer!!
Any advice is appreciated.

The manual for my Infiniti states that it is more efficient to use the AC to lower the temp at higher speeds. Opening the windows causes a significant amount of wind drag. Not only that, but the air is not much cooler in Phoenix during the summer, but I don't think they were referring to Phoenix specifically.
I ended up getting a Toyota Tacoma double cab 4x4 instead of a Honda Rune. And there is nothing mentioned about opening the windows vs. using the AC. No matter what I do with the Tacoma, AC concerned, I end up getting about 19mpg. Which isn't all that bad. I am hoping for 21 with a CAI though.

i'd say go for the iBook and max out the RAM. I have an iBook 600 from late and there is really nothing I cant do with it. It may be slow at certain tasks, but that is very specialized and the iBook is generally considered an allaround computer.
You'd be at an advantage over me anyways, because you get the extra 100MHz, the extra 256k cache, and QuartzExtreme capabilities.
The iBook, as always, is a solid buy.

For some reason I have not been receiving my points. I recently re-built this computer and instead of the script i am using increase at the moment but I have not got any points. I have also installed folding on 2 amd 64 machines a week ago(they may not be on this week as school has not started) But I have not received any points for awhile and i know the mac has completed WU recently. Any ideas?
