AMD promotes changing the design of data centers to increase airflow to keep the supercomputers cool."
While AMD is using more power to carry away heat, Intel on the other hand made Blade servers which simply use less power to have less heat to carry away.
Maybe if they find a way to do DAE off Vinyl I'll switch to that.
High up the list for me is a good linear track turntable with a moving coil cartridge, a good amplifier with good phono pre-amp, and a good PC with a good sound card. Use Winamp and chose you encoder. Uncompressed wave files are there if you want them at most any bitrate you want.
You are welcome.
It has worked for me. I didn't drop manufacture names as I didn't want to start a golden ear silver wire debate.
And honestly, I think the RIAA is losing money from all of these lawsuits being as long as they are.
I think you are correct on that one. Online legal download services have been down for the last 3 quarters. It is about the same time frame as all the publicity from these cases going to court and the court battles. Even on today's Slashdot front page is a trial of the sale of some MP3 files without DRM as if DRM is the only thing souring consumers. I think the downturn is not DRM. That just limited it's peak popularity. It's the reaction to the heavy handed lawsuits. I'm not touching their product. Those guys are nasty! I'm not dealing with them or supporting them. I know in my case it has been a factor in deciding to not buy music online. My reasons are below;
1 DRM 2 Value - includes right of first sale, bitrate and cost. Value is missing. 3 Lawsuits - I can't support this current action.
Any one of the above is a deal breaker. All 3 combined is a deal with cement overshoes on a tippy log headed straight to the bottom.
Don't you see what the submitter is trying to say? She has a dreadful disease, therefore she can't possibly be guilty! Get with the program, dude!
It looks more like I'm poor, have no hope of a good income. I'm stuck on AOL dial-up (note all the IP addresses from having to reconnect all the time). You have no chance to collect. Go away! I couldn't afford the setlement center without being sunk beyound recovery. Now because she wouldn't settle, and can't pay, they are planning on destroying her anyway. Judge, "Please have mercy on me against these evil racketering mobsters!" "they are trying to destroy what is left of me."
Today, new CD releases are south of $15 and selection of online music is plentiful at $0.99 and below.
And a new DVD is anywhere from 0.99 to about $18.99 for 2 hours of audio and video. From my standpoint the CD's are at least twice as expensive as the alternatives. At least I can buy back catalog movies, cartoons, TV shows, etc for under $5 for 2 hours of content. The music industry wants an arm and a leg for CD's of 20 year old material in comparison.
I've moved on to Creative Commons and ancient public domain recordings since anything newer is plated with a gold price tag.
I still haven't gotten solid answere to modern uses of the content either. I saw the Lights.wmv Christams lightshow set to music. It violated many copywrite limites. 1 It was broadcast on FM for people other than the owner to recieve 2 It was recorded and posted online for massive copyright violations 3 It was used in a public performance
I wrote the band (TSO) and asked for permission to do the same. I don't think my letter even got read. The only reply I got was generic addition to the mailing list for discount concert tickets..
This is after the band made a hero of the violator and made him a guest at one of their concerts. They also liked the light display, but skirted the copyrite violations.
I wrote the RIAA and got no reply. Does anyone know the proper avenue to obtiain proper permission for a Christmas light display? Public performance?, Posting a dirivative work online such as myspace, youtube, or other site?
Everyone is so tied up with litigation or tour schedule to handle modern uses for the content. Since I don't have permission to use it yet, I haven't yet bought a copy.
If you have nobody in front of you and a queue of cars behind you, chances are you are going too slow!
Very seldom does someone have nobody in front of them Sometimes people make that statement if there is a blank space of maybe 20 feet in front of someone. Someone driving properly at 60 MPH is driving a mile a minute. The space required by driving 2-3 seconds behind someone can just seem like nobody in front to a cronic tailgater. Watch the car in front of you. Watch them pass into the shadow of an overpass. How many seconds passed before you also passed into the shadow?.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3? What was the space between you and him. Did it look like there was nobody in front of you?
The road is a bubble sort. Assholes get to bubble forward, sensible drivers pull back. This is good because, coincidentally, forward is where all the accidents are
And the good drivers are just stuck in the traffic snarl behind the accident.
What bothers me more than tailgaters is tailgaters who avoid EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO PASS YOU, even when there is another lane going the same direction. If they're tailgating when there's no chance to pass, okay, they're annoying me, but I at least understand their position. If they're tailgating me while passing up every opportunity to pass, WTF?
If they are creating a hazard, I usualy switch on my hazard lights and remain on cruise control. They don't take long to figure out what the hazard is and take steps to fix it with no additional hints. Many tailgaters don't want the fact they are endangering some, pointed out to everyone on the road. Blinking hazard lights attract attention that they do not want.
Yes, and most of them mean either: A) You're not paying attention and are therefore dangerous. B) Your ability to drive is impaired and are therefore dangerous.
Um what part of the world are you from. I've been to several countries and here are a few valid reasons.
Portland Oregon, fog freezing rain, frost on overpasses and bridges, heavy rain with standing water
Okinawa Japan, Typhoon rains.. Official motto for it is half speed double alert.
Maine, at dusk animals in the road. In the summer along the coastline, tourists in the road.
Hawaii, Dense smoke over highway and dense fog
LA, Dense smoke over highway.
I spun out a car in Maine doing 10 MPH in a 35 zone. The freezing rain was followed with just enough snow so the studs didn't bite. The morning sun brought the ice up to the wet point which finished greasing the road. If I was going the speed limit I would have had more damage then just a bent tailpipe.
To my way of thinking, guys who slow down in front of tailgaters have the same mentality as the tailgaters, they only express it differently.
I was on cruise control in the right lane and had an idiot ride my bumper even though it was clear to pass. I saw it as a hazard and turned on the hazard lights. He got the ideal.
I'm not tailgating, I'm Drafting. The extra 5% gas savings, is awesome, AND I have the benefit of saving the planet from greenhouse gases.
On a long trip, I tried drafting a semi truck. I figured he was unlikely to stop quick. With the big windbreak, the savings is closer to 20% Went from about 50MPG to 60 MPG in a Prius. The downside is the new rock chip in the windshield.:-(
The article could more correctly say that "people are fed up with ads" if it were showing that people are going out of their way to block them.
In my case it is a case of RSI agrivated by yet more click X to close advertisement. When the ads became a contributing health issue and delayed or blocked content, I then blocked the ads with a good hosts file.
The first link is the most telling. It shows the clipped and maxxed out audio on some modern CD's compressed and squashed to just be loud constant noise. It's one of the reasons I quit buying CD's. The quality is gone to the point they sound just like a tape that was recorded at +20 Db on the VU meters. The clipping, loss of headroom and dynamic range is just the same.
a whole bunch of tools of varying degrees of usefulness, and a whole bunch of mostly half-baked and sub-standard applications. (This description applies, to my knowledge, to pretty much every major desktop "OS" currently available, from Windows to Linux distros via MacOS and various other UNIX platforms.)
Hint.. Load Ubuntu on a machine. Compare the included half-baked apps. Look for Wordpad and Open Office, MS paint and the Gimp, AIM and Gaim, Ekigaphone and Netmeeting (if installed), etc.
Out of the box, Ubuntu is ready to go to work with a few exceptions to install non free (open) applications such as Flash and Media Codecs. MS has the half-baked applications such as Outlook Express, MS paint, MS photo editor, and AOL trial, etc.
That being said - you'd be surprised how much class 'B' (sometimes called 'part 15') devices you have in your house. I bet if you check the manuals for your computer (or motherboard), your stereo, your TV, any radios, etc... I bet they all carry the appropriate disclaimers.
The biggie that most people haven't noticed is many wireless alarm systems use these frequencies for their sensors. It's possible you may not record the motion sensor or smoke sensor during an Air Force communication. Optex runs on 310 Mhz. Fox wireless is 315 Mhz. Ademco is 315 Mhz.
Anyhow...if I unplug the phone battery it's off for sure...right?
Store it in a metal paint can with the lid on. A 100% farady cage works for me. Be sure to test it for integrity by calling the phone. It should be un-reacbable.
's better to look at the 5 day chart where you can see
I did, but to see a steep curve, the 38% in a few hours is more impressive than the 50% over 2 days. The fact a white water river drops 1,000 feet in 30 miles is not as impressive as the 50 foot drop in a quarter mile.
I wonder how much she-male p0rn those MPAA executives look at... hmmm.....
Executives don't have time for that stuff. Following money is much more stimulating to them. They have relationships with lawyers and lobyists instead.
My choice of CD player, digital camera, portable GPS, MP3 player, RF modulator, LED flashlights and other road warrier tech is influnced by the ablility to use AA batteries. Some items such as laptop and cell phone don't give you that option. My list of charging gear is pretty much a 12 volt Cell phone charger, 120/240 AA battery charger, Laptop 120/240 supply, and a pocket 140 watt 12/120 volt inverter.
I can charge anyting while in a car with the pocket inverter. Everyting works on 120 or 240 volt except the cell phone. I have a 2 AA battery box for the phone for when I'm away from a vehicle for more than 3 days.
Slashdot Mirror
Blades aren't that much better than a normal PC with the same spec though.
This is why I included a link to the ultra low power blade servers. They don't have the same spec.

The part that sucks is the part where your great CD's source has been compressed to make it loud instead of maintaining headroom and dynamic range.

Its quite possible that his computer is on a dynamically assigned IP, and is using some sort of dynamic dns, no?
Yes, however many ISP's do not reassign IP's very often except those using PPPOE which may "dial up quite often"
