And if the compression is streaming, it is likely to increase the size of compressed files slightly.
Yeah, by 0.1 percent, big whoop. And what about turning off the compression for audio/*, video/*, application/zip, and other MIME types known to be compressed?
I wonder if it will even recognize gzip'ed, bzip'ed or PGP/GPG encrypted data and skip the compression. I wouldn't bet heavily on all three.
Given that the technology already checks the MIME type and applies different recompressions to HTML, images, and Flash animations, why wouldn't it special-case common compressed or encrypted MIME types?
I switched from Outlook Depress on my Windows 2000 laptop to Mozilla 1.3 for my browser and email and I love it!
I run Outlook Express in the restricted zone, and I stay with OE rather than Mozilla Mail for two reasons: 1. OE can read Hotmail, and 2. OE's newsreader can "combine and decode" multipart files from Usenet.
And if those measures do violate the Red Book spec, then Philips has the right to withdraw their license to the manufacturer of that CD for the use of the CD logo.
For one thing, the measures do violate Philips's Compact Disc specifications, such as introducing a higher-than-normal BLER (block error rate), placing the index records out of order, or creating a second session that does not conform to the consistency constraints implied by the CD Extra (formerly CD Plus) spec.
For another thing, most discs carry Philips's "COMPACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO" logo even if it isn't printed on the back cover or the disc itself. The logo is embossed on the inside of the case in the upper right corner.
Does it say that random bits must not be inserted?
Yes. The red book states that the block error rate must be under a specific threshold. The books also state that the index records have to come in a specific order and fit specific consistency constraints, especially across sessions. The copy restriction schemes break these, and discs that use them do not conform to the red book specification or the CD Plus specification.
It's not considered -1 redundant to use an initialism as an adjective even if the last letter of the initialism stands for the generic noun that follows it. In fact, if the initialism is a trademark such as "IBM" or "DVD", you MUST use it with a generic noun.
But unfortunately, if you plug one of these cameras into a GBA SP system (rather than into an Afterburner-modded original GBA), the picture will be upside down...
I just checked about:config and there is no entry for network.protocol-handler.external.mailto.:(
That's because it defaults to null (not set to true, not set to false, use app default), and about:config seems not to list null settings. You have to create it first with right-click -> New -> Boolean.
The eDonkey system implements multiple source downloading by splitting files into "parts" which are apparently 8 MB in size, which is fine for movies and software distributions but too large for music or individual software packages.
I would have presumed that this functionality has nothing to do with Gnutella and is better left to iptables.
Where can I download the equivalent of iptables for Microsoft Windows 2000?
And is there a GUI based configuration program for iptables on Linux? Not everybody who wants to use P2P file sharing has experience with directly editing text files to configure a machine.
You can have multiple machines behind NAT by forwarding different ports to different machines.
One-port-per-box NAT forwarding won't help if you have 2 million machines behind a single IP address, such as the situation America Online has or used to have.
Shareaza is available only for the Microsoft Windows operating system on x86 hardware, and emulating x86 Windows is dog slow on a Macintosh or Sun computer.
Seventy plus percent of Slashdot readers use Microsoft Windows as their primary operating system. The giFT developers currently consider giFT not yet ready for even beta binary packages for Windows. Use eMule instead until giFT progresses further.
My hypothesis is that Mario worked as a plumber mostly to pay his way through medical school.
have to decide what to buy first, though
Buy the MBV2 cable first.
upcoming Gamecube "Nintendo Puzzle Collection"
Which is the whole reason why I rushed Vitamins and released a milestone 1 without most of the useful features I was planning, essentially a direct port of my earlier Vitamins game for PC. I wanted First Post, and I got it.
Well, my recent brush with a failed fan ment I underclocked my CPU, to alow it to function without overheating - I sincearly hope that Intel doesn't intend to prevent that.
Intel doesn't plan to block underclocking. The Pentium 4 processor includes a thermal diode that, when the temperature climbs above a safe level, activates a circuit that in effect clocks the CPU down to half speed.
Overclocking means the CPU runs more risk of failing, which means another CPU will be bought to replace it.
Another CPU yes, but another CPU of another brand. "That machine with an Intel chip died within a month; let's try AMD next time..." Intel doesn't want that reputation on its name.

The worst terrorist attack in recorded history
The atrocities committed against the innocent civilians in the World Trade Center (killing approximately 3,000) pale in comparison to the atrocities committed by the Axis powers of World War II against innocent civilians of certain ethnic groups (killing well over six million).
and you people have the gall to be discussing robots????

I want to use Speex to provide narration of a program on a handheld device whose CPU can't do Mflops but can do Mfixops. Should I give money to Xiph.org, earmarking it for development of a Speex decoder that uses fixed-point arithmetic?
Yes. Writing code requires a computer, which is subject to a sales tax.
Yes. Code is typically stored on magnetic media. Some governments tax the sale of blank magnetic media, purportedly to compensate campaign contributors for violations of their copyrights.

Unfortunately, the standard install of IE 6 supports Flash out of the box but not SVG.
On the other hand, these Mozilla builds do support SVG.
Or, here's a stretch, pick up a guitar/trumpet/harmonica/whatever ourselves.
And play what song? The copyright owner has the exclusive right to authorize public performance of a musical work.

We've also poisoned your P2P services, so you can't download music either. It's all static.
Not if + and - ratings are associated with each encoded file's hash. That's a bit harder to poison.

No headphone jack ?, really ?
The GBA SP's headphone jack is on a dongle that connects to the recharge connector.
Oh no, you have to spend $5 for the adapter.
But can I play off mains power and use headphones at the same time?
You can go with a B&W Game Boy Camera or a color GBA mini camera.
But unfortunately, if you plug one of these cameras into a GBA SP system (rather than into an Afterburner-modded original GBA), the picture will be upside down...
(Well at least I didn't make a grammar (f)lame.)
and the GBA SP is the only real portable game system
Doesn't Sony have the Clié handheld system?
And what about the Xboy?
In all seriousness, GCC can read e-mail. Write an e-mail program in C or C++, place it in foo.c, and do the following
That's because GCC compiles your mail program.
