And would that allow me to transparently make use of the hardware facilities provided by the likes of the H+ decoder card, or ATI graphics card?
Well, aside from the fact it is extremely unlikely we'll learn how to use it. All the information we have on that function of the ATI cards is about 5 lines of register names. Considering ATI hasn't released information on the motion compensation units in their cards from 7 years ago...
RAID level 1 refers to maintaining duplicate sets of all data on separate disk drives. Of the RAID levels, level 1 provides the highest data availability since two complete copies of all information are maintained. In addition. read performance may be enhanced if the array controller allows simultaneous reads from both members of a mirrored pair. During writes, there will be a minor performance penalty when compared to writing to a single disk. Higher availability will be achieved if both disks in a mirror pair are on separate I/O busses, known as duplexing.
I'll bite. You're ignoring the specific complaint. Apple had a skin removed because the effect resembled an _internal research theme_??? This carries things a bit far. Granted, I'm the type that prefers a snappy, efficient (not necessarily intuitive, but that's nice) interface over any "Oooh! Shiny!" interface. Apple's still fairly hung up about form over function.
Or at least sell them / make them available at all. And preferably in some format that is speech synthesizer compatible. Even better, one that is in an open format.
Not exactly.. a modern dead tree book is a derivative of an electronic manuscript. A book-on-tape is (usually) a pared-down version of the original electronic manuscript, with the expensive addition of voice actors. Adding a pdf on a CD adds a neglible cost to most high-margin books (tech, howtos, etc.) Adding it to MM paperbacks is a different matter (and arguably not as useful for say most paper-back fiction, barring Robert Jordan and similar wordy authors).
I am however much more in love with a tagline saying, "Don't mess with Ohio or we'll burn down Atlanta...again." (Consider the new tagline a swipe not at Georgia, but at Texas--I mean, what have they ever burned down?) I think that nicely summarizes this feat in Ohio history, in addition to describing the feistiness that Ohioans should be known for. (Admittedly burning Atlanta down today would require a lot of work--its metropolitan area now extends into Tennessee and Florida.)
So can we just mess with Ohio now and get it over with? Atlanta is overdue for another burning.. and this time it needs to be flattened, so they don't try to route the roads around the rubble again.. And while we are at it, forbid the name 'Peachtree' from being used in any public road/building/work.
Yeah... but it's 4x _to_ the unit, unless the hackers have fixed it since I last looked.. they were talking about transferring it to the pc at better than 1:1 for editting, for which Minidisc-based systems seem singularly crippled.
Most audio equipment transfers at 1:1, as I'm sure you've noticed. I went shopping for portable audio recording equipment, and ended up with a Roland/Edirol UA-5.
I already had a laptop and plenty of drive space, and the UA-5 has some very nice preamps and ADCs for the price, as well as being quite small and tough. 24/96 for a very reasonable price.
If you do go this route, I'd recommend one of the modified units, or a competitor, that has simulaneous digital outs when recording for backup to another medium, such as DAT.
Minidiscs were out, because of the short record time at higher quality, and the lack of digital outs short of the large home decks. The size/battery life were nice, but the DRM lost them a customer.
There is a lively laptop-taping group at yahoo groups.
You may be interested in the newer HD-based MP3 players.. Nomad Jukebox 3 has a 20-gig drive, and an optical input, and can record to mp3 or wave, as well as an analog in, and supports firewire for fast transfers. I've never used one, so YMMV. It claims 22 hours battery life with a second battery, but I'd take that with an external battery pack (salt not required).
Or for lower-quality, but cheap and portable, look at dictation tape machines, as you mentioned voice content. Many can 'squeal' at higher rates, and you can correct for this by adjusting your sample rate.
There are much higher-end units out there, but they don't seem ideal for rough field conditions, and are overkill for a short-range mono station.
Your face's right to be present ceases to matter when you're hiding in my punching bag? Sorry.. couldn't resist that one..
Because hitting somebody is not the same as pointing to an uri? Arguing by analogy is always suspect... but I'll do it anyway.
Mommmy! Billy keeps pointing at me! Even when I'm 600 miles away he's still pointing right at me! Even if I move 3 feet to the left he's still pointing at me!
Would be closer, if you insist on analogies. So Sally can only answer her front door, and ignore anyone who followed Billy's pointing. Or she can move around and try and make Billy point to the wrong place. Or she can whine to Mommy, who'll may say 'That's not polite, Billy. Stop pointing at Sally and clean your room.' or tell Sally "That's not my problem. Now go weed the garden because you interrupted me." Or perhaps tell her "You're a big girl, figure it out yourself".
Actually, I had one about 30 seconds ago, on this box, and oddly enough it's still ticking (quite strange). Of course I'm working on a device driver at the moment, so I know actually who's fault it is:)
Let's see.. networking and HD units are usually base 10. 1,000,000,000 / 8 / 1000 = 125,000 bytes. This is actually low; most of my ebooks are in the 300-500k range. Maybe they just read juvies?
Don't you know that humans are exothermic reactions? You can just keep liquidfying us and feeding to the rest and we'll keep increasing population and producing waste heat..
And The Daily Show does not put beloved children's characters into adult situations.
Strange.. I seem to remember an episode with teletubbies in what appeared to be compromising positions... oh, wait, they're Teletubbies, they fail one criteria:)
Wow.. they musta put some connection throttling on tricia.cc.gatech.edu.. I'm on campus and I can't get through. Well, at least it's on the other router.. resnet's router's been at 500 ms pings for the last week.
I'm rather pissed off at this since I brought one of these drives a few weeks ago and it's running my desktop machine, which is on 25/7... it's OK so far but it would be a pain if it dies, but since/home/ is NFS mounted it wouldn't be the end of the world.
Cool.. I always wanted to go to a planet with a longer rotational period. Can I come visit?

Eh? Not sure what planet you're on, or at least what ranking system you're using..
From a random FAQ
I think what you mean is mirroring will double the (read) speed, but halve the capacity...
Actually, it's trademarks.

Actually, it's in a few games at the least, and Winamp now comes with an ogg decoder by default.. and the decoder has been frozen for a while now.

I know from experience gentoo defaults to ext3.. do sorcerer, lunar and rock do so as well?
The one that compiles from source does too.. gentoo linux.

Don't give the mindstorm people more ideas... hmm.. TTS chip, speaker, butane tank / valve, large coil for spark..
I think 'cracker' in computer terms came from 'safe-cracker'.. you know, the ones that blow themselves up trying to get into bank vaults?
Because xenu.net is hosted out of country, and responding would allow the Co$ to pick their own jurisdiction?
