Oddly, this particular analysis is only looking the economic factor, which anybody who's ever priced out a hyrbrid knows that owning a gasoline car is still cheaper.

The reasons that people buy a regular new car are the same reasons that people buy a new hybrid. Impress the neighbors and get laid. Hybrids do an good job of both.
Everything updates just a little slow. You can be downloading via torrent something and have like 18%. Then, go to another workspace and then later when I click back onto the Azureus workspace, it still shows 18% for about a second, then bam, all the values update.
Try tools->options->interface->display->update GUI every change this from 5 seconds to 100 mseconds
Well if you go back and read the updated article at compression.ca you will see that the author has added an arithmetic reencoder, and it reduces the file size by 10-15%. A compressed file that is 5% too big is chubby.
A compressed file that is 15% too big is fat, so I will concede the point: huffman is not chubby it is _Fat_
Here is a fun test: 1. Stick your cell phone in the microwave 2. Call it. 3. If your phone rings your microwave is not properly sheilded against microwave radation.
On the other hand since cell phones can call out of most microwaves, I don't think that they will have any problem with a little paint.
JPEG does not use Run-length encoding as its last compression step.
Quote from the faq:"The JPEG spec defines two different "back end" modules for the final output
of compressed data: either Huffman coding or arithmetic coding is allowed."
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/jpeg-faq/part1/section-18.html
It goes on to say that arithmetic coding is ~10% smaller, but is patented, so don't use it.
So what they are doing is removing the known chubby huffman coding and replacing it.
No one is going to buy this. It is an internal beta. I don't think that it is fair to worry too much about the speed of the compression/decompression untill they release a 1.0 version.
Depending on where they are in the develepment cycle you might see a 10x increase in speed. Remember making it really fast is the last step.
why the hell would the vast majority of deaths be women and children?
Do the math. Most of the people in Iraq are Women Children or the Elderly*. So if you attack a random set of people they will be mostly women, children or the elderly--this is why you need good intellegence.
Simple math shows if you kill a random person in Iraq 71% of the time they will be women children or elderly.
Don't kill random people it looks bad on the news. The math also shows that it is entirely reasonable that we are killing mostly women, children and the elderly.
If you honestly think that the children, brothers, and friends of the dead that we killed have not been made into terrorists by our actions, then you are as stupid as the previous statement sounds.
Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father: prepare to die.

We have a nation of Inigo Montoyas that now have a reason to want to kill us.
Trying to design an algorithm that is as fast as the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is *hard*. FFT is O(nlog(n)). Until we can get an algorithm that you can decode in real time, well you won't be able to listen to it in real time. This is why we see alot of work on images, they don't pop and skip if you decode them too slow. Here is a hint on a fast wavelet transform: look up the DWT of Mallat and Daubechies. But the math is way beyond me. One of the great accomplishments of algorithm design was the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT
What I want is a digital camera that looks like a 35mm film cannaster. This way I can drop it into my old camera and use it like film, but never have to pay for film again. It looks like this is just about the right size, here is hoping
It is clear that people do not use the Prisoner's Dilemma as a model for making decisions. Just look at the lotto. here is the matrix: play : $-1 dont play $0 (It's fair to ignore the infinitesimal chance that your single dollar will be the one to hit the number.)
Only people that believe that a diety is going to help them out gamble against house odds. If you don't think a god is going to help you out then a lotto is just a "bad at math tax" Solution teach kids about math, this turns the gambleing in to a god tax.

Seems like the the real story is that Google is no longer supporting their own browser that came out less than six months ago.

No, it saves power by having one large, very efficient power supply do the conversion to DC rather than several dozen small ones.
No, it saves power by putting the power conversion outside, where it does not need to be air conditioned.
Passive cooling is free.
Free is cheap.
You are off by more than an order of magnitude. Try 4 cm, as of last year.

It is also not open sourced. The encoder is closed, and the decoder is open.

Just for those who are wondering what about pngcrush(open source and free).
pngcrush: 122105

*40.3% of the population of Iraq is 0-14 years old.
3% are 65 years or up
28% of the population is female and 15-64 years old

Now we know wether the shell scheme bug was in the OS or the application :)
Heck use pngcrush
Best pngcrush method = 124 for soup_one.png (32.88% reduction)
Best pngcrush method = 124 for soup_one_2.png (33.17% reduction)
Best pngcrush method = 16 for soup_two.png (36.67% reduction)
Best pngcrush method = 16 for soup_two_2.png (36.85% reduction)
Best pngcrush method = 16 for soup_three.png (28.52% reduction)
Best pngcrush method = 16 for soup_three_2.png (28.57% reduction)
Pngcrush is free, open, and cross platform enough to run on those Sun SparcSataion1s he seems to be using.

Did you try to become a world famous programmer? Would you be this famous if did not release your code under GPL?
Well as much as I hate the time that it takes to boot, I can't remember the last time that I had to.
