I'm going to be encoding all of my (and my wife's) CDs to Ogg Vorbis when it hits a 1.0 release. From what I've seen, they've been critical of their own work far more than I would be, so I actually trust them very much. I'd been planning to MP3 all our albums (400+) for a long time, and even got through a bunch, but I'd like to support in some way a format that is sponsored by a company I can like. But if the quality can be better for a given bitrate or smaller for a given quality, it doesn't take someone on a moral crusade to come up with the same answer.
Not only didn't I hack up prefs.js to add those customizations, but I didn't even read the release notes when I installed 0.92! Know why? I wanted the browser to work, and turning Java and Javascript off is fast and doesn't disable anything I like. These arguments are for another time and place-- like on Bugzilla.
OB Ontopic: X10 has some neat gadgets, but a man ust take his stand somewhere. I've tossed a respectable amount of money at them for their home automation hardware and enjoyed the product-- once I realized that even their appliance modules can't control a fluorescent light in normal use for more than 8 months. One time you turn it on, it'll have been fried. I lost two fluorescent lights within 2 weeks of each other-- the only two in my house on X10 appliance modules-- and none of my other fluorescent lights were harmed. If you keep that restriction in mind, there are still lots of interesting things you can do, but nothing in my house that justifies the price.
To answer the question from your.sig, no I didn't compile my kernel today, I did that last Sunday. I did just compile the latest version of Wine though. I found out last month that I can use Quicken with a minimum of bugs.
I had apparently forgotten to turn Java and Javascript off when I recently installed Mozilla. Thankfully, X10 was right there to remind me to take care of that oversight.
Sincerely,
A Former X10 Customer

While this whole issue is of questionable relevance to "stuff that matters"
While I'm not an anime fan, myself, I feel I must respond to this part of your post. It has been my experience with the geek subculture that anime is a very common interest. While this may be uninteresting to you and me, "News for Nerds, stuff that matters" had better cover an anime story once in a while to stay relevant to their target audience. Slashdot.com knows their audience and plays to it well.

you talked for a paragraph and said fuck all. it's a 405 mhz G3 w/altivec for chrissake. i mean, 'extension on the powerpc'? it IS a fuckin' ppc you spastic.
Gekko is not a G3 with Altivec. It is a G3 with vector processing and multimedia extensions. For all that has been said, it may be a G3 with MMX, SSE or 3D Now!. They probably took a look at what they needed, though, and did their own thing.

Ironic that the fastest PPC is from MOTOROLA not IBM (733MHz 7450 vs 700MHz 750CXe). By the way, that didn't split the group apart. It was IBM's
refusal to adopt a SIMD.
Common misconception. IBM demanded that everyone prove that Altavec, as proposed, would improve a majority of their customer's applications since IBM's own tests proved otherwise. Apple/Moto declined the challenge. IBM's audience was targetted to be much larger than Moto's, and were keeping that in mind. By the way, IBM has nothing against SIMD, only (at the time) Altivec. Times change, and if rumors are to be believed, many of their customers are expressing interest in the Altivec instruction set (and some extensions, while they're at it).

ok they can continue on with their world domination strategy, fine with me, as long as it means one day they will control my mother in law, if that's not in the
plan... I have the feeling I am being screwed somewhere.
The difference is that the combined purchasing power of the consumer has given Microsoft all this power. You (not you specifically, but you as a society) gave this power to them. I sure as heck don't have control over my mother in law, so I sure can't give it away! Now, if I did, I probably would... burn in hell for finishing that sentence.

Is that we've degenerated as a civilization to the point that it can even be a QUESTION that such an idiotic, frivilous legal claim could even MAKE it to a court!
How the hell can a commercial entity "copyright" coordinates? Hell, they don't even OWN the places!
What we need are laws that punish those who FILE frivilous suits, and those who THREATEN frivilous suits. These days, the risk of being sued is so great, and
the damage that can be caused by such suits are so great, why should these THREATS be treated any differently than threatening to break someone's leg?
Unfortunately, since laws are written by congressmen (who are mostly lawyers), or MORE frequently, by special interests (the American Trial Lawyers, the
unprincipled cartel of ambulance chasing plantiff's lawyers is one of the MOST powerful), I don't see it happening.
Does this post remind anyone else of Zippy and his [comic strip|fortunes]?
Back when my Linux server was hanging on my pegboard wall with no case, I had LEDs on it. I used them for indicating waiting mail, etc. Also fun to cat/dev/hda to it.
Of course, I wouldn't be a real EE geek if I hadn't put at least one motor on it over the years. I've had 2 DC motors and 6 steppers on the two parallel ports. (Use relays and an external supply or you'll burn your drivers.)
Remember, you can't spell "geek" without "EE".
Okay. They have new design tools. Wonderful.
Who's going to produce them? These days, mask data handlers deal with x,y coordinates and the Manahattan lines between them-- always assuming right angles. Diagonals are made by making very very small rectangles to approximate diagonal lines. So, what they're doing can be done, and is in fact done on the lower levels by macro designers. The problems with these in manufacturing are many. Not the least of which is the fact that all those tiny diagonals add up and create a huge data volume. An 18mm chip can require the best and fastest many-processor RISC server today. Surely the data volume will go up orders of magnitude using this process. Either the data handling methods of the facilities themselves also need to be upgraded, or this practice will be relegated to only the smallest of chips.
Slashdot's editors perhaps should stop commenting on physics, motorcycles and Apple.
Their CRTs havn't been selling well lately. The LCDs, however, have been doing quite well. Although most people won't get the 2.5 large 22" cinema (yummy wide screen goodness), more can afford the 17" 1280x1024 for $999 and even more the 15" $599 one. Of course, some people will go eBay or to other sources to get CRTs, but most of the non-iMac crowd likes the LCDs and appreciate the added choice.
I had the privilage of playing Quake III on my father-in-law's dual 500MHz G4 with a Cinema Display. If you've ever seen a setup like that, you would not be comparing the laptop to the Cinema Display. I don't know what's different about the pixels, but there was zero ghosting that I could see. Running it in a mode that required next to no dithering probably helped with the clarity-- that may have been why you compared it to a laptop.
Most of Apple's market, however, is not filled with avid gamers who may be able to discern better than I. They are either hobby gamers, graphic artists (who appreciate the zero color drift and crisp clarity of LCD) or just home users who don't have the space.
What I've read disagrees with what you state. What I've read is that solar panels (given realistic sunny weather in the SW US) pay for themselves in 1-2 years, and inside of 7 years produce as much power as takes to make them. So, if you have them for 10 years, you're netting a benefit for the environment and saving your pocketbook. These numbers assume no battery backup-- just reverse metering for peak and forward metering for night time. If you use batteries, the payback time goes up to 5 years or so, by which time you may need to re-buy batteries. Sorry I have no link handy, but I wanted to get my disagreement in quickly.
Quoth The Queen:
As a former English major, I have to agree. Not only is it lazy and slack to skip doing your own research, but if you don't even have the brains to REWORD the
stuff you're stealing then you ought to flip burgers for a few years until you decide you're ready to be a real student.
Then you can flip burgers with eloquence.
It's worked for alot of people. They are basically a support group with a membership fee. Lots of ways to exchange recipies, and more importantly, to understand exactly what affects which foods will have on your system. If you look at it shortsidedly, any idiot with a book on nutrition could come up with what they charge for. The long view of it is-- they actually did it, and in such a manner that it's easy to understand and becomes subconscious after a very short period of time.
Godspeed and good luck, Mr. Walker..
I think I've heard of that before... I think I remember "Godspeed" being defined in physics as 9.8 meters per second squared on earth.
The OSS development model leads to a strong possibility of unhealthy "forking" of a code base, resulting in the development of multiple incompatible versions
of programs, weakened interoperability, product instability, and hindering businesses?
I wonder what would have happened if, instead of "forking" BSD's IP stack, Microsoft had just embraced and extended BSD-- adding its GUI and application library. You know, keeping all compatibility with BSD but just adding more functionality.
What I call "Linux", others call "GNU/Linux". Would those people call this hypothetical non-fork "[Free|Open|Net]BSD/Windows"?
A few of y'all from RPI may know me. I was a teaching assistant there, and taught Intoduction to Engineering Electronics for 2 years (fall 97-spring 99). We dismantled these cameras for one of our labs and reworked the flash trigger mechanism to go off in the dark. Not too complicated, but anybody thinking of taking these things apart needs to be specifically warned about the capacitor. Flashes need high voltages to flash. In this case, the voltage was measured to -300 to -312 volts. This is not only enough to hurt, but enough to burn you. Not seriously, mind you, but the two white spots on your thumb will certainly hurt like a bitch. Take care and short the capacitor out with a paperclip after you remove the battery. Always treat it as dangerous until you've removed the battery and shorted the paper clip.
Now that you've been warned about that, this can be a really cheap (free, if you go the right lab) way to build a high voltage generator that runs off AAs. With this kind of voltage, you can build coin flippers or crude linear motors (read as coil gun). They can be put in parallel to give more current (between 6 and 9 in parallel will be enough to blow a flash bulb in a very bright explosion of glass). YMMV. Don't do this at home. This explanation is provided for scientific purposes only and not intended to suggest anything destructive.
I'll tell you one thing -- anyone that applauds this can NEVER diss Microsoft for astroturfing again. IBM dresses up a guy in tie-die and a wig, paints
banner-ads on the streets, and many of you are now ecstatic about the "grass roots" support IBM is showing for Linux?
But, as always, if you're dumb enough to be fooled than [sic] you deserve what's coming to you.
It is said that some people can change. It is even said by some people that some people can be forgiven for sins committed. "To err is human, to forgive, devine" I believe is a common saying.
The US Justice Department, to my knowledge, has never found that IBM did anything anti-competitive. A little too competitive at times, perhaps, but look at where that got the US steel industry. IBM, if you recall, went through some serious recovery at the beginning of the 1990's. Many believe that was the change from an old IBM to a new, fair, product centered (instead of cool technology and Nazi-esque -- a little bad IBM humor there -- marketing department).
So, is IBM the same being it was 20-30 or even 40 years ago? Some of the faces may be the same, but they needed to change their behavior when Lou Gerstner, their current CEO, took power. I've had friends and relatives go to work for them since then and seen some of the same people leave. Fresh blood brings fresh ideas.
What does all this have to do with Linux? IBM's history has been filled with the word "proprietary". Lately, I think "hooker" is right. They'll do literally anything you want for money. If you want Linux embraced and extended, you'll have to pay for that. If you want more code, you'll have to pay for that, too. The difference is, most people want Linux on more platforms, with a few small improvements here and there. Customers seem to be rewarding them for working within the system on the kernel and creating proprietary binaries for their existing products.
The company hasn't been around for 100 years + (following name changes) because it can't adapt. If you buy into their propaganda and products, like lots of people seem to be doing, you do deserve what you get. It seems like lots of people have been happy with it-- certainly happier than with Sun, LSI, TI or Accenture.
