OT: FCP Splash Screen
It’s an off topic question, but if anyone knows, they reside here in the pasture!
Are the numbers in the FCP clapperboard on the splash screen significant or are they just arbitrary numbers?
I ask because a colleague told me today that the internet error 404 got it’s name from the room number at CERN in which one of their servers kept crashing.. true? Or just a large pile of Bessie’s best?
Enlighten me Pasture!!

THis has been discussed a lot in the past on this and other forums, but I am hard pressed to find links, as I don’t know what search words to look for. But as far as we can tell, it is just arbitrary. They did change from FCP3 to FCP 4.5…because the frames used to read 28, and that ticked off a few PAL people, who only have 25frames.
So I hear.

Somewhere on the Net is a photo taken of an Apple banner that was on display at the 2009 WWDC where Snow Leopard was a main topic of discussion. Several of the application icons on the banner were subtly different from the ones we know and love and IIRC FCP was slightly different.
Anyone remember where that photo originated? I’ve checked wired.com and Macworld for their WWDC coverage sets.
here’s a uselessly small copy:

Seems someone else didn’t want anyone knowing that 64bit FCP was in the wild… oh wait… IS IT????

Don’t know about FCP, but in the case of the 404 error, the HTTP spec describes several responses that the web server can send to the browser. The “OK” ones start with 2 (“200” = “OK, I’m sending you the page”), the 30x’s I don’t remember right now what they mean (though “302” is a redirect to another URL), and the errors start all with 4 (“401” = “access forbidden”). So… I don’t know: my hunch is that it would be very contrived if someone had carefully written the spec (including the organization above) just so that the 404 error matched a specific room number, but I don’t actually know one way or another.
