Uh, unless your DVD player has lasers on both sides OR can turn the disc over for you, then no. Double sided disks are just that - they have data on both sides. Most of those are setup with one side being widescreen and the other standard 4x3. And the parent to your comment was comparing side to side, not entire disc to side.
What I used was a copy of Paul Oakenfold's Ibiza. The song I played with was track one of disc one - Nat Monday, Waiting (John Creamer Remix). Just looping the first 15 seconds gave plenty of evidence. I tried various other songs, but most of my focus was on Waiting. I tried with both the default for the encoders (128 for MP3, and 160 VBR for Ogg. Yeah, it wasn't fair), and with a more "fair" combo of 160/VBR for Ogg and 192 for MP3.
The EQ I use is a custom one on a 10 channel equalizer. The settings are (no preamp):
60: +6.8
170: +4.8
310: 0
600: +4.8
1k: 0
3k: +4.8
6k: +6
12k: 0
14k: +4.8
16k: +6.4
There is NOTHING scientific about these settings. It's just what I find make my music sound best to me (brings out the beat, certain vocals, and the treble mix that I like). All I reccomend is that your speaks are at least $30 and not in a 100% cheap case (they don't really respond well if they aren't at least this good). Before you use any sort of audio test for ANYTHING, be sure that you can turn the bass up a great deal and not have it make sounds dissapear at the volume you're testing.
E-mails from you with further questions are welcome and encouraged.
I listen to music with certain parts of it "highlighted." In other words, I use the equalizer at a point that makes damned near everything sound better to me. Using a blind test similar to yours, I concluded that I can't tell the differenec between the three of them when the equalizer if flat centered (Ogg, MP3, and original CD - I suspect this has something to do with my merely semi-adequate speakers). However, once I set the equalizer to where I like it (and it's accented, not freakin' bassed out or over trebled), then MP3s started having some sound changing properties. In Techno music (which I did the test with since that's what I listen to), this becomes noticeable to me. Very noticeable when compared.
Buy enough RAM to hold the entire image of whatever you're burning - but don't make a RAM disk to store it in. The OS will do just fine caching it (my twin 18 gig SCSI drives that I got on the cheap evidence this - my computer barely reaches for them after the first hour of uptime. REALLY fast!).
SCSI burners wanted. This might even come out costing less because of the fact that an IDE card can only take 4 devices, while you'll be able to push several times that on SCSI. IDE will suffice for the HD if you're only burning one image at a time though.
Avoid theoretical numbers. Worst case scenario all the way. Assume that even if you start all your burners at the same time, they'll have drifted by the end of the cycle. And as you do more and more reloads, I can see the timings differing. This won't affect reads of the image (it'll be cached), but writes will hurt. Get a SCSI card and wide enough PCI bus (shoot for 64/66) to take it. Sure, theoretical measurements say you'll hack it with a 32/33, but keep in mind that others things run on that bus besides just what you plug into the slots - and that's assuming 100% efficiency.
SCSI stressed again. Bus mastering will help your CPU SSSSOOOO much. And yeah, I can't vouch it'd be that great on the ide -> scsi deal - but it's cached in RAM and RAM -> SCSI will help the proc.
Hardware you'll want: 1 Gig of RAM (why skimp? A full CD is 700 meaning that you'll probably buy 768 (multiple of 256 - derr!), so shoot for the gig to play with. Any CPU P-III or better will do, maybe even a P-II. I'd just go pick myself up a decent Athlon though. As for the Mobo - Dual Athlon model. No, you won't use that second proc, but you will use the onboard Ultra160. If you can get one with dual channels - bonus! This is because you'll be capable of handling 30 drives.
Consideration: You'll have to have something to change out the discs. Set up with 10 drives, you should be able to EASILY do this for ~$2000. It's up to you to figure out way to change the discs automatically, though! And good luk on the case:)
"If a ReplayTV customer can simply type 'The X-Files' or 'James Bond' and have every episode of 'The X-Files' and every James Bond film recorded in perfect digital form and organized, compiled and stored on the hard drive of his or her ReplayTV 4000 device, it will cause substantial harm to the market for prerecorded DVD, videocassette and other copies of those episodes and films," the lawsuit states.
It's not the job of the courts to protect your revenue from other business. This is like Hershey suing Mars because their damned M&M's are taking away from the sale of Hershey bars!
If you have no clue what a split key is or what its signicance is, then please don't judge its importance. Split keys are not a hacked on feature, but rather a method of splitting a key in a way that multiple people are required in order to decrypt / sign. Not in the X.509 standard. And in a corporate environment, PGP has a smaller learning curve.
Because it's not likely I'll say it again anytime soon. Go with PGP for your corporation. Server side GPG may be better, and it makes more sense to run an open-code key server - but for the desktop you'll want PGP. This is because it's interface is that much easier and you don't have time to train people for this. You TCO will be less with NAI here. Also, PGP has support for split keys. For a corporation, this can be VERY important.
Open Source stuff is usually that much better - but not this time. When it gets an interface as clean as NAI's for Windows and carries support for some of the extras, then it'll be worth it.
Of course, I opt for the CKT build:)
Common mistake in kernel compiles: exclusion of certain APM features that are taken for granted - including the one that actually does the power down. Unless you get the power cut, kernel level code still executes. Therefore, it's a slightly tweaked kernel.
So what about the removal of the scripts? That doesn't have anything to do with the box shutting down, but rather turning off the ethnet interfaces. Also in Redhat, the IPchains kill script flushes the chain. So we disable it. I do disagree with his removal of the killall script, but that's another story for another time.
This is all explained 2/3 of the way down the page. Enjoy!
IPchains would be really tought to exploit because it doesn't answer to packets, just modifies them. The only exploit possible would be a kernel level one that has NO user space involvement - including listening ports. Challenge!
RFCs are good for this because they allow he person sending to take action. And in this case, it should have been RFC'd. However, no RFC will ever help with spam.
Exactly - and while webmasters may hack referers, I don't see that happening in browsers. So this is good and allows you to use referers. Any questions?
Yeah, I've been seeing un-hidden to fields that have random variations of words starting with "auto" at various domain - including mine. UGH! Still rare since I bounce everything, though.
Close, actually. The difference is that the computer sees the drives in this case as hardware physically attached where in NFS it's a mount point. Big difference when you think about it connection wise, but the difference to the user will be that you can "cat/dev/zero >/dev/san_disk_0" - you ought to not be able to do that with NIS...
Shortly, you could IE use either ext2 or reiser on the NFS server but the clients would see it as NFS type. Via SAN, it would mount as ext2 or reiser directly.
In the real world and the game world (which is what I'll refer to Everquest as), older things become worth less as newer, better things are discovered, particularly as the supply of older things increases for at least some frame of time. The factor that separates the game world from the real world is human time. People get paid for work. A demonstration of what I'm talking about is best found in The Sims. You get paid not for physical things you claim, but rather for the time you're out of the house doing your job. You don't gain money in the game world just by being there (as some can do in the real world - The Sims differing in that it tries to approximate the real world). The ONLY reason inflation doesn't exist there is that The Sims uses a static money market model.
I'll fill in further details later to as replies to explain away everyone who tells me I'm wrong...
And mobo, and RAM, and blah blah blah. Take into consideration something more relevent: Athlon's have better floating point operations - something that would be more important in most cluster-utilizing apps. Getting that for less cost makes it worth it. So yes, you're right to a point - but Gigabit nics can come for much less than $1500 and you purchase more than just that and a processor...

Duh - Bush is the first president with an IQ below 100! Don't you read the National Enquirer?
Yeah, and don't forget the clicked mouse issue. OS X is a blessing - your server doesn't crap if something gets left on the mouse button.
Uh-huh. No.
Uh, no. If he does, it'll be in .ogg format!
