the idea hasn't passed - its just not the right circumstances for it to flourish, see for example RMS, the Jesus of Free Software, the one who gives his life for it, the one who is basically being crucified by some people. I see stark similarities.
calm down, since 10 years cpu speed doesn't really matter anymore, and if you aren't involved in the apple ecosystem hulahoop (or javascripting - god forbid) i think m1 is not very interesting untill it allows other oses to run on free hardware.
"I'm banking on the most upvoted posts being somewhat entertaining to me, nothing more." - i do the same and i get stupider everytime it seems. i just watched for the first time on youtube "judge calls" which is basically video snippets of us american tv of judges sentencing ppl - i never knew such things existed before and i find its allowance on tv first and on youtube second pretty disgusting and inhumane.
the absence of a digital map/route planner also has advantages in that it removes the "sterile tourist bubble" and forces one to interact with the local people.
i have 4 projectors running, can i use one computer to feed all 4 projectors, with the dj's output fed to the computer, and a single 1080 geforce with projector size is 1024x768?
in case of the computer not being fast enough, i just use 2 pcs, how do i sync the winamp stuff?
can you give me a headstart? so your prog enables me to do projection mapping with winamp visualisers basically, right?
so if i own some discotheque with some projectors, i could use this regardless of input music in auto-random-mode all day all night?
