From the useless-but-cool department...

You can now watch your movie files in ASCII in the Terminal application of MacOS 10.2!

Here's some shots from a certain video - each image links to a larger version:

So I don't bore everyone: if you want to know how to do this, leave a comment and I'll reply.

Well, maybe. The app to do it comes from this developer site at apple.com:

http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/QuickTime/Goodies/ASCIIMoviePlayerSample.htm

... so, you'd need QuickTime. The download does include the source, though. I think I heard somewhere of a program called mplayer which is supposed to do the same in Linux.
