    At work I have 344 songs compressed with ogg to 64kbps and mono. Sounds fine considering I have both speakers stacked on top of each other so stereo would be useless anyways.

    Ahh, but how many people use Yahoo's search rather than Google's simply because Yahoo is their email, instant messenger, chat room, and game playing place? Would you rather go to a new web page for your searches or quick-click an interface link to get that search?

    Actually, I just type the search info in the URL bar of Mozilla and hit TAB to search Google. Who even needs a web page to search these days?

    Well here the cable internet is cox and from what i've seen they use some weird system and IPs change pretty frequently.


    That's weird, I've had Cox.net for about a year now and my IP has changed only two times.
    1) IP was "A" then I changed NICs and it became "B", after a switched back to original NIC it became "A" once again.
    2) I moved.

    According to this article from the Wall Street Journal, your TiVo could definitely get the wrong impression about your interests, or even your sexual preferences.

Most of the users who have been "targeted" by TiVo usually try to "correct" the profiling by showing an abnormal interest in something wildly different."

    Yep... it's a dupe!

    I just built a 2.4GHz P4 system and I am impressed with how quiet the Intel-designed "Thermal Solution" is. It's a whisper compared to the Valcano 5 on my old 1.4 T-Bird. Kudos to Intel! Or, if we hate Intel today... Bad Intel!

  22. Re:People seem to be missing the point on Vapochilled Pentium 4 System At 3.3GHz · · Score: 1
    Overclocking isnt supposed to be a "useful" thing to do anymore. Chip speeds are increasing fast enough and are frankly fast enough already, that there is no actual NEED to do it. Is there any NEED for people to supercharge their cars? Do they do it anyway?


    It's not the same. When you supercharge a car you are getting performance that you usually cannot buy and will not be able to buy (for that model). With CPUs, it's just a matter of waiting a few months and that 2.8GHz CPU @ 3.3GHz is out-paced by newer processors. I wish car manufacturers could figure out how to apply Moore's Law to their engines. We could have 1000hp sedans by now :)

  24. Re:Debian is rock solid but the install ... on Two Reviews of Debian 3.0 · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    Check out Gentoo Linux. It uses a package system called Portage that is similar to FreeBSD's "Ports" system. Basically, you run "emerge apps-editors/vim" to automatically build Vim for you, it will also download and build any dependancies required too! The only downside is it will take a while to build X, or any other large package(Gnome, KDE, etc).
