Oh, and I'm still waiting for a decent reader using that epaper as display.
I'm not easily offended, but lumping ARP, ping and SSH together with NetBios _and_ calling it "unwanted crap" sure makes my blood boil. Maybe another member of this university has access to the routers to turn off ARP? It's your duty to help this poor fellow.
> As far as I know, C# doesn't have anything like it.
Never heard of Microsoft's Dotnet framework? Microsoft is hyping Dotnet so much that people's brains turn off automatically when they hear it. Dotnet contains APIs, and many people say they're good. (I never tasted them.)
Both Java and C# are over-hyped and non-free, just toss a coin if you must decide. My advice though, is to run.
Cool. Now we can pay for our music commercials, in QVGA resolution with DRM I'd wager.
If you're pushing softcore MTV, why not go all the way? Oh well, I guess that didn't mix with the ipod's white image. But hardcore content will soon be available on the nano from the dark side.
Of course, what you want sounds like freenet:)
If you just reroute some of the tsaks you get to some random hosts, your adding a layer of anonymity, but the network traffic is incrased by this.
You have to assume every single node as hostile but it's pretty safe to assume that they are not all from the same party.
I don't think the piracy groups adopt it.
They starte with 192kb/s CBR with Frauenhofer and had no changes ever since.
You think they'll adopt a format which has the main advantage of "interpolating" the sound?

>Why is it always companies want to prevent us from *breaking teh law* by copying music.
Because the music industries don't want to release stuff that can be copied, look at CSS or SDMI.
Frauenhofer wants its codec as standard, so they have to provide a copy protection if asked.
Frauenhofer doesn't care if you are breaking the law.(as long as they get their license fee, of course)
Music copy protection will ALWAYS be cracked (you can do an analog ripp anyway) but this game is played nontheless.
that's why he said "in the Windows world".
For MS, third-party software is bad because it lowers the use of their software, just ask Borland how difficult it is to release developer tools for windows...
yeah, this are my concerns too.
I expected some paranoid freaks to jump at the first post, but the lack of linux support seems to be a bigger problem to the crowd:(
So, you just believe everything that is written in a file that ends with.asp?
DUDE, they don't check for the browser's capabilities, they check for the browsers name.
They've got a list of who can work with the system.
They have to update this list as a browser gets capable. Shit, this is a misunderstanding of tha web!
I just wanted to support you by pissing at those rio people. HEHEEE!
I carry 20gigs in my Neo 25 so I can afford more than 128kbs. Actually my whole cd-collection is LAME V1:)~
I agree that space doesn't really matter, but bandwith does.
It's not only about napster users, but online broadcasters would love to see their bandwith saved.
(Ok ok, multicast will solve all problems but at the moment you must provide a stream PER USER)
Record your vinyl on a GOOD equipment to GOOD mp3 (Lame with VBR) and play it back on a GOOD equipment! You're done!
But don't complain that the 128kbs Britney song you downloaded sounds ugly on your PC-Speaker!
Cause:
-128kbs is ugly
-Britneys music is ugly
-Your lame PC-Speaker is ugly
You could have mentioned too that vinyl is much worse than CD. (NO, I DON'T WRITE IMHO! )
Vinyl just sounds so crappy that the people actually think it's the music that must sound like vinyl, and I agree.
I like listening to the good 'ol Doors on Vinyl!
This lack of dynamic sounds like the time before me, yeah, so OLD.
IMHO they just add additional information to each Mp3 frame.

uuuuh, I'm gonna upgrade the controller with 256Megs of ram to hold my Pagefile. Yeah, shure!
And ooooh, yeah, the pagefile will be stored, even if the system fails! COOL!!!
Man, everyone here is bothering about boot time.
I got tears in my eyes when I discovered the "autotune" option in LILO, speeding up the boot by 6 lousy seconds. Later I decided that the boot time is rather irrelevant cause I reboot about once a week.
Boot time is relevant to MS! Yesterday my Win95 box...*uuuh, headache*
I agree that controller-cache would be a good idea for Windoze boxes.
Once an OS is up and running, it will cache everything, no need for crappy controller-cache.
Anyway, we were talking about write-cache here, this makes good sense to speed things up!
As a geek I don't like the NJP, what to do with 6 gigs? I got twenty on my Neo 25!
I can hook it to my windoze box and it's instantly recognised and listed as a harddrive.
Why bother about audio, you can copy anything to the harddrive, getting a movie from friends doesn't involve CD'R's anymore, I got five Div-X;) moviez on my box, gotta watch them...
The IDE-Bus is just "tunneled" through the USB.
Even fdisk could see the harddisk, and defragmenting works too(it's FAT32, uh)
And yep, creating the index file after uploading takes about 30 seconds, booting takes 5 seconds.
Why stay with a NJP? shure, shure it's got WMA (damn, yesterday I saw a WMA on Napster, I'm concernd now;)
My Woody doesn't like the Neo since there's no driver for him, but smbmount is at hand.
(Gnapster directly downloads and shares from the Neo, no chance to forget updating my collection)
My local collection has only backup character now.
Whatever I wanted to tell initially, the Neo 25 is a geeky tool and U can UPLOAD from it.(RIAA and I agree that we don't like each other;)

SSI sells it with a better battery and a newer Firmware is available, incrasing the battery life to 4 hours (according to SSI's specs)
I got about three hours I think, but that's with HQ (LAME VBR1
But the short battery life is a problem, I have only two batteries, a longer trip could be dangerous...
