I've NEVER had a problem with mine and the other tapers that I know that have a NJB3, love them. The only one that had problems was an old-school DAT-head who screwed up his firmware upgrade. They are superior to the other widely used option: MiniDisc.
I have no idea who this Lutch guy is, but IMHO, he's full of it.
I checked and for WAV recoding the sample rates are 11.025KHz, 22.05KHz, 44.1KHz, and 48.0KHz. For recording as MP3, the bit rates range from 64Kbps to 320Kbps. It also has an adjustable gain setting(+/- 12db). The product page for it is here
I'll have to see if it can record at 48KHz, since I've only used it at 44.1KHz (CD sample rates). Since it stores at least 20G of data, uses USB or firewire, optical/line-in, dual replaceable batteries, etc., it is great for recording shows.
Minidiscs are certainly cheaper, but they can only hold a little more than an hour and if they screw up during the 'finalization step', the recording is toast - I don't have one but I know of some people who have had this happen. Also for the non-compressed audio purists, it's a no-no since it employs a lossy data compression scheme to store the music on the disc.
I really hope the specs page is wrong. The 8.3"x8.3"x3.1" and 9 pounds is obviously wrong. But I hope the max compression rate of 128Kbps is incorrect or is referring to it's recording capabilities. I don't listen to mp3s at 128K. I always use variable bit encoding and let lame figure out what the best bitrate to use based on the audio.
I've tried to make my Rio-Volt skip by shaking it and couldn't make it screw up. I was practically slamming it into a desk and it kept on playing. If that thing skips while I'm exercising, I won't care because I would probably have been hit by a truck.
I think there was a space.com article a while back about the costs of the new NASA reusable vehicles. It was the author's opinion that there were too many pilots at NASA and not enough 'spacemen'.
Which brings up the point, why does it have to fly in a conventional sense like an airplane? The common adage about the Shuttle is that it's a 'flying brick' controlled by computers, so why even pretend to have a pilot 'fly' it? An Apollo era capsule would be sufficient for space station 'lifeboats' and I'm surprised someone hasn't tried reverse engineering the Saturn V for launching big payloads. If the launchers were cheap, it wouldn't matter much that they were disposable...like razors
No kidding. When microsoft.com was first brought online, the only reason they moved the machine that was hosting it into a server room, was the moron that was in charge of it had it under his desk and would accidentally shut it off or kick out the power plug from time to time.
Maybe the Russians who had unfettered access to their network a year or two ago could tell us something about the policies.
And you would think that with nearly $50B in the bank, they would be able to hire some people to clone the technology themselves w/o resorting to stringing a little company along and then stealing the technology. But, no...this is typical behavior for them. WTF do they do in Redmond? Any of their stuff that's worth a damn is something that they've bought from other companies and have performed incremental upgrades on it.
Because AIX and OS/2 are different enough that it would be easier to code from the spec than to try to jerry-rig the original AIX code into OS/2. Not to mention inter-divisional rivalries and location of both teams. It's also very likely that both teams only have access to their own separate source code repositories.
This wasn't supposed to be leaked either. It was a 'rally the troops' presentation for their resellers to show them that their claims were legit. One supposedly had to have signed a NDA to get into one (expect the German photographer to be sued). And from the articles that I've read, it worked on the SCO kool-aid drinkers too. The best that Sontag can reply is "we still own this code"?!? Well, Ok, but guess what buddy...years ago it was released under a license that lets anyone copy it.
Where did these guys come from when Love & the rest moved over to United Linux? Digging through some stuff at work, I found a little white paper by Caldera about 'bringing Linux and Unix together'. Their predecessors must not have filled them in on anything that Caldera did.
But, those 99 other files have probably been released under a BSD license, used in text books, etc. That's why they have been so hesitant to show off the infringing code. Given enough eyeballs, not only are all bugs shallow, but the origins of the code becomes very clear.
And we used to think the Jobs' Realtity Distortion Field was something to behold. Expect a lawsuit from McBride claiming that he is the creator of the RDF and that Jobs is infringing on his IP. Maybe both of them could be in a Celebrity DeathMatch.
They've said that HP is A-OK with them. But what do you expect? HP was going to be a sponsor of their little Vegas shindig (probably the last one). While they may be smoking crack, I don't think they've smoked enough to sue another computer industry giant.
Unfortunately, he's correct about women. You can't trust them with money. They will spend it all and twist it into being your fault that the bills can't be paid.
The Kyoto agreement would be something to care about if it held all nations to some sort of common standard, but it doesn't. It allows the industrialized nations to move their polluting factories to developing nations w/ little or no environmental regulations. It doesn't solve the problem, but makes the proponents feel good about themselves.
I don't know about the windows version of ltools, but the C command line utils it provides do not work very well under Unix. It doesn't allocate addtional blocks for a directory after a relatively low number of files are copied into a directory and a few other things. Maybe it's been fixed in a recent version or the guy is concentrating on the Java/C# implemenatation. I was very disappointed in it, so I wrote my own set of tools using the ext2fs library to read & write to an ext2/3 filesystem on a partition or a filesystem-in-a-file. Well, I've wanted an OS X machine, so I guess after documenting the damn thing, I better start porting. Crap.
It wouldn't. By SCO's definition, anything written on or for a Unix system is theirs. Write a device driver for something like a terminal server? Oops. Sorry Digi, that's not yours anymore. It's SCO's.
By that reasoning, then since it's not their code anymore, the vendor shouldn't have to support it. Nope. It's SCO's code now. Make them provide bug fixes & security patches. Maybe the Unix vendors should bill SCO for the years of maintenance that they performed on "SCO's code"?
So if one believe's SCO's view of things, companies were paying another company (AT&T originally) so that they would not have any control over technology that they created, patented & copyrighted.
The parent was referring to how much cheaper it would be to shell their HQ with a battleship's main guns than to use a missle. Of course I know that we could hit them with an ICBM. But why waste a fine multi-million dollar piece of equipment on a pissant little company like SCO.
SCO headquarters is in Lindon, UT which is a bit far from the coast. but it's within easy striking distance from Hill AFB in Ogden. Maybe the Navy can get the Air Force to do them a favor.
I got my remote a few days ago. I ordered it straight from Creative's site and it only took about a week to get it. I'm not sure about the Zen, but with the Jukebox3, it can be used to record FM or mono to 64Kbps MP3s. I mainly use it record from the line-in/optical port.
Now if they could make it record to mp3 or wav files like the Nomade Jukebox3, I'd certainly be willing to buy an iPod. It would make recording shows to put on furthurnet less cumbersome.

But why create tiffs? You have the original text, why go throught through the trouble of creating a TIFF out of it? That seems very odd.

They have the RIGHT to try, and the RIGHT to expect that their PRODUCT isn't taken and given away for free.
Yep. Ask the CEO of Spyglass about that. Moral of the story: get all of the money up front from Microsoft.

No.
But they will file it with their insurance company when it lands on their vehicle
Anyone else think about The Island of Dr Moreau when you first read this headline?
