    Yeah, apart from the brief slashdoting of whirlpool, he has been posting further.

    Btw, nice low UID there, sign that its a real person/geek behind the voice :)

  2. Re:Even if it did... on Australian Government Censorship 'Worse Than Iran' · · Score: 1

    The real interesting thing is, when "the list" gets out (as it has in other countries who have done this), how long will it take for the first convicted child molester to say, on camera and in court record, he got the list of sites he visited from the Australian government?

    The other issue being raised is that the fastest tested (they tested a few officially recently) filter was getting over a 50% false positive rate.

    Bleh, that sucks, was building a media machine today for a customer in a thermaltake mozart 102 with 7" lcd, it uses its own custome playback software which instantly picked up that (my pre installer for vista premium loads some useful extras) haali was installed and asked if I wanted to use it for all playback jobs... winz.

    Some of the big name makers are starting to get their shit together, this thing, once fully loaded, was a piece of cake to drive.

    Its supported (and comes with) the haali media splitter, so long as your player of choice uses that, its golden.

    Fair enough, but every bit of high def content I have ever DLed has always been matroska wrapped h.264 + ogg.

    As for that decoder, as an idea how much better it plays 1080p, I can watch it fine on my 3600+ amd X2 cpu, it sits at around 60% on each core, on my 3GHz quad it barely hits 2% :)

    Your prerogative, $14 doesn't buy you the "next model up" cpu, hell it doesn't even cover the cost of good thermal paste :/

    It will get you a h.264 decoder that can run on damn near anything (yes, projects to get it under linux are available) and, unlike most of the free decoders out there, it supports SMP.

    No you don't, try grabbing CoreCodec.

    I can't say it will definitely play 1080p on a 2.7 p4, but its the fastest h.264 decoder out there :)

    Until they make it so you CAN'T import the game, fallout 3 for instance, imported copies found in customs will be confiscated and the receiver fined for attempting to import a prescribed item :/

    Now, even if the price is the same to import, I usually will, just to drain these local over-charging bastards.

  23. Re:I guess my ISP is responsiblee on Typical Home Bandwidth Usage? · · Score: 1

    The thing is, its going to come down to ISPs offering "free access" extras that appeal to users.

    Internode for instance have majorgeeks, fileplanet, sourceforge, their own linux distro servers, every aussie steam server and game files (vids, patches and demos) all as un-metered content, as well as offering 2 premium usenet servers free (but metered).

    Its the quality and the service that makes them the best, I typically download a whole lot more than the 65-75G my account says a month, more like 120GB.
