that I like this system, especially because nerds will probably know better, but the "socially adept" will probably be raped many times over the period of their lives about the time they got drunk, their vomit, their stupid tweetz, etcs. ha
Do what I do. I exist and consume services. I don't put my name against anything online. Even if you found me, you wouldn't know anything about me. It's bound to pay off once every second person has crap coming up when they are googled. I automatically eliminate at least half the competition this way.
I think the best option while ripping is do the highest resolution and file format that your mobile device uses. E.g. in my case ipod touch 2G supports 640*480, and x264 which is what I use. That is good enough of casual viewing on a TV or computer as well.
It's not just the most of one 1TB drive, but the continuous problem with keeping one running out of space. Though I have the bandwidth, I keep DVD quality backups. Even then, my over 3TB space is running low, not to mention the hassle of interchanging external hard drives.
They got us with DVDs nicely. At that time it was cheaper to buy DVDs than hard drive space. Everyone bought spindles of DVDs and stored everything on it, only to lose it all a few years later, not to mention the extreme hassle of dealing with the media, sensitive drives that failed frequently, inability to delete/rewrite easily etc. I remember the pathetic week I spent salvaging whatever I had on 200 DVDs onto an external hard drive.
In my opinion optical media is dead and will probably only have a use case as far as selling retail movies etc. It will all go electronic in a couple of years and then we'll look at this time as the stone age.
If this new disk is only 20 times bigger than a Bluray, why should it be able to store 50 HD movies? Shouldn't that be like 20, unless the definition of 'HD' has changed again?
Today, I was invited to SC2 Beta with a Battle.Net key. I wonder how come, since the final is almost out! Has anyone else received an invitation today as well? I have not yet downloaded the game, but I tried the key and it works on Battle.Net.
Why do you say the graphics are dated? I actually hoped the requirements to be even lower. The recommended graphics is 8800GT class, which very few machines have- Especially since most of their target age audience will have laptops and not desktops. I have a 8600M GT which is still a mid range card as far as laptops go, and it is disappointing that it will struggle-- I was expecting something around the system requirements of WOW actually.
I believe Adobe is currently developing tools that allow browser independent portability of HTML5, just like Dreamweaver takes care of browser compatibility in the generated code.

nice one, wish I could mod it up.

This is exactly the sort of news I come here for.

"Now the question is how it may have used — and secured — all this private information."
Great, and after this investigation is complete, Google will have all the ideas it needs on how to use the info it collected.
I take it you've not seen the idle section yet? That should show you the other stuff that gets posted here.
Actually, it's you who is doesn't know what he's talking about. Throwing around heated invective and shouting doesn't make you right. (You are wrong)
I wonder how only American companies got all these patents. Were the Europeans sleeping while all these standards were created and patented?
From what I understand Vintermann's comment should have been directed at "shutdown -p" and not me.
To be fair, they do mention that it is applicable only of location services are ON. I wonder why they are analyzing traffic patterns though?
We only have records for a couple 100 years. Only when we get the data for the other millions of years can we accept your statement as fact.

Thanks. Yes, I noticed that while I read through some of them. Looks like you've come a long way since the hydrogen bomb incident.
Nice slashdot story. I was able to find further information here: http://www.astrobio.net/pressrelease/3452/supersonic-freefall
Thought as much. I think it's bad slashcode. Oh and sometimes it goes to a lot more than 1 sec for me- Like 15-20secs frequently.
Does it resolve the slashdot "Preview" button lag? I assume this bug is slashdot's fault, not slow javascript.
Where is the combined performance.. that site says the benchmarks are broken down and should be higher when integrated. SO where are those numbers?
Like I said, no HTML5 browser specific features were used.
I believe Adobe is currently developing tools that allow browser independent portability of HTML5, just like Dreamweaver takes care of browser compatibility in the generated code.
It was Javascript, no HTML5.
