  2. Re:Windows Media Player vs XMMS on Windows XP to Target MP3 Files · · Score: 2

    I don't know anything about xmms, but WMP7 uses 50% of sys resources (WinAmp uses ~10%) and WMP7 has horible support for variable bit mp3's (ie: it skips anything over what it thinks the bit rate is).

  3. Re:Laws are the *last* resort on What Will Happen to Rented Software When Its Publisher Sinks? · · Score: 1

    If the program they were made in is the only one that can read them, and that program will no longer run, I'd say all those files (containing the data) are useless. What good are they if you can't read them?

  10. Re:What's the point? on A PlayStation In Deep Blue, Or Vice Versa? · · Score: 1

    Which means that you have to do it twice (once for each eye, pov's ~2 inches apart) to do it right. So we double the figures above and it becones even less proboble that it will happen any time soon. :)

  11. Re:Clash of the Titans on Electric Car Bests Ferrari F550 In 0-60mph · · Score: 1

    Acording to the article, it is a gas-electric hybrid, so no, it doesn't move the polution. And as to being cleaner, how many other sports cars do you know of that get 60 mpg? That means that less gas will be used to commute back and forth to work and and therefore less polution.

  17. Re:Time well spent - also on Ask Metallica About Napster · · Score: 1

    How is Metallica's atempt to stop the distribuition of copywrited material taking away freedom? Metallica has said that they are only trying to shut down Napster because Napster refused to stop alowing Metalica songs to be distributed.

    "PLEASE NOTE: Napster, Inc. makes no representations or warranties regarding MP3 files possessed by Napster users. Thousands of MP3 files have been authorized for distribution over the Internet by copyright owners; however, Napster users should understand that MP3 files may have been created or distributed without copyright owner authorization. Neither the MP3 file format nor the Napster software indicates whether a particular MP3 file has been authorized for copying or distribution. Copying or distributing unauthorized MP3 files may violate United States and/or foreign copyright laws. Compliance with copyright law remains your responsibility."

    Maybe Metallica should sue all of the 300,000 violators. They all agreed to the above statement before useing Napster.
