    Most estimates show a bell-curve type of population growth. I think it is around 13 or 14 billion where it would peak and then it will go back down.

    So I don't think he's that off. We waste tons of food a day.

    I thought the same, but what if the technology isn't there? I know nothing about lasers or laser-resisting windows, just asking a question.

    Well, mobile phone != smartphone
    They could have millions of Nokia 1100 for all we know (with that data).

  5. Re:There is (probably) no analog phone network any on FCC Wants To Trial Shift From Analog Phone Networks To Digital · · Score: 1

    Can't VoIP detect a fax/modem signal and avoid treating it like voice? For instance, the codec hears a fax handshake and then stops using lossy audio compression, or at least, lossy compression that doesn't destroy all data.

    I see there's a standard, T.38 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T.38). I wonder if it's already implemented in VoIP services, and if it isn't, why they don't do it.

    Sure, throw into the garbage the profitable console from Nintendo. Genius! It's evident you're not aware the struggling console from Nintendo is the Wii U. The portable 3DS is chugging alone more than fine.

    Gee, thank you grandpa! Now I'll continue to buy more records and clean my walkman after I fix my VCR.

    Huh, that's strange. My experience and that of my friends is the complete opposite. Maybe Winamp has improved dramatically on that aspect since 2011?

    Try managing 150000+ files on Winamp and tell me how it goes. Now try that again with Foobar.

    It's a GPU issue, I don't think any particular brand is doing better than the other.

    (Which also explains why Windows is a "success" and Linux has never made it to the desktop -- yet is the only serious OS in the few luxury/demanding markets left.)

    But Linux (on the desktop) is a fucking piece of shit. Windows 2000 is far better than the latest Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora crap, let alone Windows 7.

  16. Re:End Of Life on Ask Slashdot: Light-Footprint Antivirus For Windows XP? · · Score: 1

    Yes, implemented in such a half-assed way that it's almost unusable.

    I had to downgrade to 10.2 because the latest version doesn't work on XFCE, or at least, it didn't work on a fresh install of Xubuntu/Mint on my PC. On top of that, there won't be any new releases for Linux, 11.3 is not available and apparently it won't ever be. Gnash is junk.
    Don't get me wrong: I despise Flash, I want it to die already. But it's still a necessary part of the Internet.

    while my similar-age AMD board would probably work with a current Bulldozer.

    Yeah, no. That whole "socket compatibility" thing is long gone in AMD. Socket FM1 was released in 2011, FM2 in 2012, probably FM3 this year.

    Compare that with Intel's sockets 1156 (2009), 1155 (2011), 1150 (2013).

    Sure, AM3 is better, let's see how it works out with their next AM3+ release.
