  1. bug in update daemon gets fixed by update. DUH! on RH7 Crashes In Three Weeks (But Fixed) · · Score: 1

    So, this is a bug in the update network daemon and RedHat put out a fix on the update network before the 3 weeks. So *everyone* affected already *has* the patch. So what's the problem ?

    Oh, i see you were running the update daemon but aren't on the update network. Go ahead and ask for a refund.

  2. Re:MPEG-4, not MP4 on Video Shrinks With MP4 · · Score: 2

    This isn't actually MPEG4, but MS/MPEG4, which is a MPEG2 bloat MS tryed to push when MPEG4 was in call for papers. The MPEG board said "tkx for playing now sod off.". I doubt this thing is even bitstream compatible with real MPEG4.

    MPEG4/Audio is similar to MPEG2/Audio AAC.

  3. Re:MP4? on Video Shrinks With MP4 · · Score: 1

    "MP3 Layer4" ? You're an idiot.

  4. Similar DFT methods (almost prior art) on IDCT Approximation: Worth a Patent? · · Score: 1

    I did some work on the DSP field (mostly mpeg-audio, mp3 for the kidize), and by no means am I an expert, but this algorithm doesn't look much diferent from the text book butterfly aproaches.
    Looking at it quickly and without checking the math looks like something you could submit to a conference and get published in the procedings but not actually patent material, even if i was to agree with patenting such algorithms.

  5. Re:Don't count on it. on Intel Allowed to Buy Digital Signal Processor Co. · · Score: 1

    Actually, the i960CF is market as a DSP chip, with full FP unit benchmarks and some libs. It just gets his ass kicked by TIs that cost about 1/10 :)

  6. The "no setup fee" did them in on R.I.P. Linuxbox · · Score: 1

    I setup an account about a month ago at linuxbox. I like the service and the staff. I setup my account, saw how things worked out and a few days later filled in the payment form. How many people did this ? :(
    I wonder how many fukin porn dealers abused linuxbox :(

    Fair well

  7. Mutt on Ask Slashdot: Cryptography in Mail software? · · Score: 1

    Mutt has inbuilt suport for the various PGP flavours (2 5 and gpg)

  8. 30G ? Look again. on 30GB and 50GB Removables · · Score: 2

    It's actually 15 and 25G. They quote compressed figures and assume 2:1 ratio. Go gzip your mp3s and tell me the result :)

    On the other hand:
    "OnStream is working to qualify developers who are familiar with Linux to write drivers and tools to attach OnStream digital drives to systems running a Linux operating system. Initially, support for this solution will be from the community of Linux developers."
    So they aren't totally pointy haired ;)
