Nice, but the flame should be a LOT longer than that.  It should have a
shockwave (small disk-like disturbance in the flame when it goes from
being a supersonic flow to a subsonic flow)soon after it leaves and the
walls of your nozzle need to be a lot thinner than this or they will
melt!

Sorry to nitpick, but I studied to be a rocket scientist...

In it current conception, it appears to me to be just like a flashlight.

Very funny...and what do you consider a "major" OS?

Well, technically, it is "available" for Mac OS, but you have to use 
Microsoft Media Player...it isn't available for as a codec for QuickTime 
to use.

So what you are really saying is that yes you could view animations
compiled under divx but for the sake of your principals you cannot
allow yourself to do so. Isn't that like intentionally shooting your
own foot and then complaining about it ?

Divx is now open source, so it will possibly become available in other
viewers too.

That's a good thing isn't it? - Quick time blows chunks.

Basically what he is saying is that it is usually better to stick with
native software. Most people use MP (Microsoft) on Windows and
QuickTime (Apple) on Macs. The opposite has often proved to be a bad
idea (from a stability point of view).
