  1. Re:Why the idiotic naming again? on Theora Ahead of H.264 In Objective PSNR Quality · · Score: 1

    I am not a native speaker either mate, but those names ring a bit dissonant note in me. It is just my opinion so bear with me.

    Thanks, I happen to have 0.65 DOSBox in my PC, I downloaded TV, installed it, but it runs really choppy on my 3GHz Core2.. funny anyway.

    Your OGG tag looks and sounds odd, for music I mean, now Theora should be the free video codec of choice ? I admit it is slightly better the Vorbis/ogg/xiph oddities but come on. Does it evoke video, film or movie ? Does it inspire us to switch from MPEG ? I can't even pronounce it without bad aftertaste.

    S3 ViRGE, man, I had the same setup back in the day, Teminal Velocity was a great fun at the time. Gosh that game is still great even by today's standards.

    I would opt for full US salary instead of % piece of sales. Today, most games struggle to break-even, just read Gamasutra sometimes. Having a small salary + some vapor % might be discouraging in the long run.

  8. Re:At the risk of being redundant on First Look At Windows 7 On an Entry-Level Netbook · · Score: 1

    The task managerâ(TM)s performance tab showed 33 processes running and 465MB of RAM

    Post boot? I mean how is it possible to clean OS occupy 465MB alone? Is that some kind of bug of the RC version? That would mean 256MB a 512MB systems would go deep into paging after just booting.

  9. Re:time for new tax structure on Battle Lines Being Drawn As Obama Plans To Curb Tax Avoidance · · Score: 1

    To pay 15% or 40% on income makes a huge difference.

    The sales taxes you are so afraid of are pretty much invisible, nobody cares about a few % in the local shop, those prices are rigged by merchants anyway.

    There should be only sales taxes mandatory everywhere and income tax abolished completely. That would bring business and money back to US like 123.

  10. Re:Won't the companies just move? on Battle Lines Being Drawn As Obama Plans To Curb Tax Avoidance · · Score: 1

    Exactly. This will make companies move out of US faster. Who on earth would like to be incorporated in the US with such an anti-corporate regime? Asia for example is becoming a new playground with places like Hong Kong already exploding with pro-business environments. The weather climate is better, people are friendly, no IRS hawks or greedy regulators.

    Btw: this is the first financial crisis that affected mostly the west, another indication that business is shifting to the East, and this will only accelerate already started trend. No sane businessman wants to face IRS and the US probes, 800 new financial spies? Good luck with that Obama..

    More interesting is the fact that Gazprom, firm that has all the fossil fuel at its disposal has opted for this kind of power.

  14. Re:It's to try to get some attention on ARIN Letter Says Two More Years of IPv4 · · Score: 1

    IPv6 is flawed and nobody is eager to switch, at least for now.

    If you have a bunch of equipment on IPv4, that would cost thousands if not millions to upgrade.

    From the security standpoint IPv6 is a nightmare, no kidding. Now we have multiple NAT and no-default-gateways etc., we are happy about it, in fact to not have IP facing internet is an advantage. So you tell us to throw this away and opt to routable IPs ? Just ask any ISP what they think about their customers running direct IPs.

    It is much much worse.

    You can, wait for it, forge fake logs, oh yea, like 123, and abuse anybody. Judges take these text logs as hard evidence, that is scary, really scary. CCTVs footage is one thing but, text logs trace, misuse and abuse another. They see it as the same kind of evidence.

    Any so called "log evidence" is laughable and should be banned. Now every other PC have some mal-ware, trojan, virus, bot, you name it installed, that takes this log evidence to another crazy level. Just let you grand mom click some smileys on the web a wait for the bad things to happen when her netbook starts to spam or serve *****.
