  1. Re:But at 192k sampling rate. on Vivendi Offering MP3 Song for Sale · · Score: 1

    I think you mean bit rate, not sampling rate. CD audio is sampled at 44.1KHz and 99% of the gigs of mp3's I have are the same. I have a few 48KHz, but nothing higher. I'm not even aware of a consumer grade DAC that ca do higher than 192KHz.

  2. Re:Prove it ... Where is it ... on Bootleg Star Wars AotC Debuts on Internet · · Score: 1

    Last night, a friend of mine got his hands on the sample video that was being distributed with it and he sent the sample to me. (about 30 seconds of movie) It is such bad quality that it is completely un-watchable. You can't even recognize faces in it.

    I don't understand why anyone would bother with this.

  3. Speaking of trouble... on Jaguar Reviewed · · Score: 1

    about 6 years ago I remember using some software called ichat.... oh here it is:

    ichat®

    Surely they Apple couldn't have overlooked this.

  4. I don't get it on Red Hat 7.3 Coming Along · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't understand this. Aside from the install, these distro's seem quite similar. What makes Mandrake more Windows like and Red Hat more UNIX like? It doesn't make any sense.

  5. Ottowa on Alan Cox: The Battle for the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Where the heck is Ottowa, it must be over there by Muntreol, or Vegina.

    "There are plenty of great email clients out there"

    I would disagree. Especially in the case of IMAP. Evolution is coming along but other than that, Pine is the only real contender in my mind.

  7. Re:So why didn't ZDnet pull the poll? - THEY DID. on Microsoft Caught Rigging ZD Net Poll · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hmm. When i go to the poll link listed i get this:

    "On 21 December, ZDNet posted a story reporting the preliminary results of this poll, which showed a large majority of respondents who said they planned to deliver applications via Web services by the end of 2002 favoured Java for the job. At the time, Java outranked .Net by a factor of three in this poll. By early January, the position had reversed; the results are shown here. An investigation indicated that Microsoft employees used vote-rigging to distort the results. The full story can be found here."

  8. Re:Hilarious, if not so sad on Stacked Carnivore Review Team · · Score: 1

    I can't believe this has happened twice. I thought it was a joke at first.
