  1. Re:Why not... on Apple's Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) Now Open Source · · Score: 1

    iPod don't naively handle FLAC and converting to ALAC from FLAC is normally a two step process. FLAC -> WAVE -> ALAC. iTunes don't understand FLAC and as far as I know now other tools write ALAC, this will change that.

  3. Re:Is the internet in Canada 100% satellite? on Satellite Glitch Leaves Northern Canada In the (Internet) Dark · · Score: 1

    I'm from Windsor Ontario (Border city to Detroit), and never meet any one that had to use satellite based Internet, Most everyone has DSL, Cable, WiMax like Wireless and of course 3G etc. My guess is that 90% of Canadians affected by this live in igloos. ;)

  4. Re:Interesting but... on Raspberry Pi $25 PC Goes Into Alpha Production · · Score: 1

    It's low power vs 200-350 watts for a used 386 or pentium, the screen and keyboard are meant to be left at the station(at the school maybe) and shared by who ever is using it. and yes it will need at least a few gigs of flash. Try fitting a XO in your pocket.

  5. Re:File Conflict on GNOME and KDE Devs Wrangle Over 'System Settings' Name · · Score: 1

    A postfix would be a good option, users want to see one name, one thing to learn. Just call it Control-Panel-[Win,KDE,Gnome]

  6. "control panel" on GNOME and KDE Devs Wrangle Over 'System Settings' Name · · Score: 0

    Hmm, if it is a "control panel" why not just call it that??? I'm surprised that KDE hasn't named theirs Kontrol Panel, then everyone would be confused!!!

  7. Canada's low grade internet on Virgin Media Demos World's Fastest Internet Service In the UK · · Score: 2

    And here in Canada we top out at 16-24 Mbps.
