  8. Vinyl is really just hype! on Digital and Analog Audio's Curious Coexistence (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    The real points here are not with the recorded sound quality, but with the listened sound quality.
    If you insist in using earpieces, noisy environments, low attention and MP3-like sources, the vinyl ain't any better than a 192 kHz MP3. And it loses quality play after play.
    If you instead use high end speakers in adequately insulated rooms and keep your attention to the sounds you're are listening to, than maybe the first plays on a vinyl will make some difference.
    But also SACD and DVD-Audio can do the same while retaining its quality forever (thanks to the copies you can make).
    So, in the end, why vinyl? Just because of marketing hype!

  9. With all that garbage you stuffed into Win10, I think you'd do much better!

  18. Re:Gzip, bzip and xz on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 7.5 Released (redhat.com) · · Score: 1

    C'mon!
    The tool to reduce storage costs it's you, the system designer.
    Not the distribution.
    If the storage is local or remote and you pay by size), you reduce the costs at the design stage. Once you have bought those 4 disks, you cannot reduce their costs any more.
    If the storage is remote and you pay by use, you cannot reduce costs after deployment. Only increase.
    If deduplication is the keywork to "to reduce storage costs", then you'd better think: why do I need deduplication?

    No way, data compression is the only way to reduce storage costs if you are dumb.
    Good design is the real way to do things.
