Ogg Vorbis For Hardware Makers
SerpicoWasTaken writes "CNET has a story announcing the release of Tremor. It's an Ogg Vorbis (Vogg Gorbis, Vogg Orbus, or Ogg [unintelligable] as pronounced by the various managers in my office) decoder that does not require a floating point unit and could herald the rise of Ogg Vorbis compatible MP3 players."

What else can I say?
Yes, I'm lame.
/. to make traking dupes the new "First Post" game...
Leave it to the folks at
Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.
Do the guys that work at Slashdot actually READ Slashdot?
Sit in the corner for five minutes!
Someone set us up the bomb, so shine we are!
I ask because I'm a fairly casual reader. I load up Slashdot every couple of days and scan the headlines. My total time spent 'Slashdotting' is maybe 20-25 minutes a week. Despite all of this, I am quite aware of the INSANE amount of story repeats that go on here. Say all you want about the fact that there are multiple editors and each might post without knowing what the other one did (even if it was the same day or the day before!!??), but if they spent only the limited amount of time I do actually reading (just the headlines even, not even user comments!) Slashdot, they'd see these obvious repeats... Wouldn't they? And if they can't be bothered to spend 20-25 minutes per week actually reading the site, then why the hell are they editors here?
Just askin'. I mean, I slashdot for free so I don't feel the editors "owe" me anything, but I don't understand why they'd be so willing to make asses of themselves on such a widely known public site by not doing simple duplicate checking.
