Yeah, I figure it was a RipperX setting somewhere. Think I'll just rip the track manually... If Ogg has no 320kbps mode, and RipperX tried to tell it to use that, it must've defaulted to some very low bitrate, which explains why it sounded so awful.
Decided that it was about time I checked out the Ogg Vorbis encoder since, well, many people have said many good things about it.
I downloaded the vorbis tools, decided to get a CD that displays different charactistics and that I know well, and settled for the Delerium Karma album.
I started RipperX, choosed to encode the first track using the highest setting (320k), High Quality mode, no CRC, no VBR and ran the encoding.
The result, well, to tell you the truth, I had to listen to the.wav to check that it had read the track right. The sound was very plastic, it felt like a cheap radio playing inside a box. It wasn't even a question about any snobbish high-end audiophile 'take away information and it sounds like crap' kind of thing. It just sounded plain wrong...
Equipment used was my Denon AH-D750 headphones (decent quality, not studio reference quality though) driven by a NAD 3020i amp (leftover from when I got new stereo equipment) fed through my SB Live.
Now it will be a prestige for the Mozilla gang to release the browser in Oct '01, since they cannot allow MozillaQuest to be 'correct'.
Do you think this will make 1.0 buggier (since they had to rush it out) or more stable (since they worked harder on the Oct goal?)

· Score: 1
Yeah, I skimmed the article here on/., seeing 'Pirates!' and 'PDA', and hoped that some kind soul would have ported it so I could play it on my color palm...
No such luck, as usual...
Perhaps it's time I port the damn thing myself, ofcourse, I would have to release it on FreeNet so I don't break DMCA for reverseengineering amiga code...
So, another one of the 'our not yet released hardware will kick the ass of the hardware that already has existed for months'.
So, what makes you think that Nvidia doesn't already have a card that smokes the Radeon? Because there has been no press releases?
Well, considering that Nvidia is not a stupid company, why would they want to issue a pressrelease that hurts their own sales of the GeForce 3 by promising that they will release a much better card in the near future?
As soon as the GeForce 3 sales slows down, due to everyone anticipating this new Radeon card, expect a press-release from Nvidia.
I can't remember I've seen a really bad SciFi show in a long time. But perhaps I'm just glad that I can watch some SciFi other than Star Trek that makes me pretty happy.
Living in Sweden, we are a couple of seasons (atleast) back in most of the shows, and I gather most shows doesn't show up here at all.
Best SciFi show ever must have been Babylon 5, but I gather there will be hundreds of other fan posts explaining to Star Trek buffs why B5 is a better show. (Two words; character development)
I enjoy Farscape, although I've only seen the second season. It's the best show which are still running currently. Lexx is another great show, if one can get past the cheezy effects and acting. There are great humour there though.
Recent shows that has stopped running but are still pretty good, imho, are; Earth 2 and Space and Beyond (I _know_. Noone liked that show)
I hope someone mentions 'V' too. Just out on DVD people!:)
Knight Rider must be classified as SciFi too.;)
It's so very simple. Just code for the newest browsers... Don't bother if it looks like shit on older browsers. Atleast they should be able to vaguly read it, instead of just getting a stupid javascript that tells them to upgrade...

If he so truly believe that the Durons haven't got their pins removed, I suppose he'd be glad to swap mine for one of his?
My processor _has_ it's pins removed. I guess it depends on what you mean with the processor though. I'm talking about that black square piece of plastic with lots of pins underneath it, while I suppose he's talking about the piece of silicon embedded in black plastic...
I have no problems believing that it's next to impossible to modify the silicon, however, the pins underneath is simple to remove and AMD has done this.
The multiplier works something like this; there are a couple of inputs on the silicon that if some of them has current, a certain multiplier is choosed. If another set of wires has current, another multiplier is effective.
The first batch of Duron processors had both the external pins and the little gates closed so it was up to the motherboard to cut the current from those wires that selected the multiplier, with either DIP-switches or from the BIOS.
The second had some of their gates on top of the processor removed, so that one multiplier was always selected. This was pretty easy to override with a pencil.
The third, current, batch AMD has gone one step further and removed the actual pins, so the multiplier bypasses the gates/and/ the pins.
It's possible to solder a wire from the gates onto the motherboard, but that requires a little more precision that I can handle, at least.:)
--Humming, bought his Duron the same week the third batch came.:/
I hope they never get rid of the combustion engine in favour of the electrical motor. Sure, it's less effiecient, but the roar of a combustion engine sounds better than the wirr of electrical motors.:)
It's in 2010 that he suggests that the core of the gasgiants would be a diamond. At the same time he suggests that 'cloud'-beings lived in the atmosphere hunting other 'cloud'-beings, ofcourse, they were deemed not intelligent and then the whole planet was set on fire to create a small sun. This sun would later heat up Europa (the moon, not the continent) so that native life could develop there.:)
An interesting side note is, that in 2001 A.C. Clarke suggested that Europa was filled with water but the lack of atmosphere made the water freeze instantly, which is now 'confirmed' in various studies.
