next tech

On: IBMs 73Gig Drive

So... how long before we get terrabyte storage for under $300? I don't think magnetic media will ba able to store this much so what is the next tech that will be able to do that? Holographic memory?

Shift Magazine

On: Why Most Software Sucks

First time I heard of this magazine... From the article I've just seen its very cool indeed. They even say the dreaded "f word" several times. I'll have to subscribe to it now :)

Go go Sun!

On: Sun Claims MS Steals Vision

Damn that 'note' was funny.. I never believed something like that would ever be posted on a corporate site. Hats off to Sun ppl for having the balls to post it.. every other company would NEVER post anything like that coz they're scared of M$.

BWP sucks

On: Forum:Blair Witch Project

Hey... thats the truth. No matter how much they hyped it up on the web, its still crap. Crap crap crap! Not scarry at all and kinda hard to take all that fake scenes.

Which codec? Cinepak

On: Ask Slashdot: What Quicktime Format for X-Platform?

If you want to encode linux compatible mov/qt files... select the Cinepak compressor. Xanim supports it and it provides a good picture quality (better than alternatives at least).

Apache

On: Ballmer: Apache is simply better

Apache deamon needs to get acces to low level kernel to speed it up (MS' IIS already runs faster than Apache).

On: Quake Source in Late 99?

Hmmm.... IIRC real Quake source *was* released by some hackers who got it by hacking crack.com's server. So yeah... *full* source is out and has been out for 2-3 years already.
