Shouldn't it say, be a meat eater, or choose not to eat? I mean, a meat eater can eat everything a vegitarian can eat, but a vegitarian cannot eat everything a meat eater can eat.
I had cable three years ago, for about a year. Moved, and didn't go back.
I moved again, and had it for a year, but when they started blocking port 80, and double billed me for a month, and I had to spend 2 hrs on the phone to fix the bill, I dropped that shit.
I've got a fast connection at work if I need to download something. Unless they get braodband down to $30 a month, and it is not AT&T...Fuckum
i have a rev. a imac, and OSX take 5 mins or more to boot. if you click the IE icon on the bottom of the UI, you get to watch it bounce for 10 second while IE launches. Yes, it was nice to have a console and *nix commands, but the UI was so slow I had to put yellowdog back on.
I guess making 80k a year working with streaming media would qualify as knowing nothing. This review uses the sorenson codec. I have no problems with Darwin streaming server and it can stream just about anything that is hinted, but quicktime player is best used with progressive download or local playback.
Why do the the same people that bash MS praise divx;), even though microsoft developed the codec?
Windows Media has Multiple bit rate encoding, which is the same thing as surestream. The problem with this technologie is that all video streams share the same audio stream, and all have the same video size. It only works well if all the bitrates in the file are low bitrate or high bit rate.
A better option is to encode seperate steams for low and high bit rate audiences. The use of Ospreys Simulastream software upgrade to viewcast video capture cards allows on capture card to be used by multiple encoding sessions. You can encode real, QT and WM using one video capture card, or you can encode several differnt bitrates in the same format.
and if you have to use 1.5 Mbps, why not just use MPEG. I would say WM and Real both do well at low and mid-range bitrates, but the sorenson codec sucks at anything but high bitrates.
The review didn't mention anyting about frame rate or video size. quality was mesured from screen captures, so I guess video framerate and audio are not part of the streaming media experience.
They also should have used S-video for all captures. The osprey 500 DV applies a filter when you use the IEEE 1394 port. This is not an apples to apples comparison. Why not just use the winnov card for all captures?
They also didn't mention how many streams a single server could handle. Real requires a heavy duty server, QT doesn't realy have specs, and I would bet Windows Media server does the best job.
And WTF is with the apple networking icon? Is there realy a need for that?
They had the same academic pricing on software in 1996. Note that students admit less to using warez, does not mean that they are using less warez. I think with the rise of broadband, and wiring dorm room, this has to be wrong. Maybe the students got smarter and are now not admiting to commiting crimes.
But isn't it society that tells/makes parents go to work and leave the kids at home? Last time I checked our society was trying to break the family apart, starting from birth by making mothers feel like they should bottle feed, so they can go to work. Lets face it, most kids spend more time in school than with there parents. When is the last time you heard a chick say she wanted to stay home with the kids, and didn't want to work. We don't fix problems in this society, we treat the symtoms. Take a pill, don't fix the root cause.
the built in pointing device is not mouse-like. Just becuase two things provide the same functionality does not make them both "mice". Is a track ball a mouse? Is a touch screen a mouse? Why not just say he wants more "clickers"?

no, they can just do it behind the cruiser, and put a sock on the mic.
I am going to put a flash suppressor and bayonet on my pre-ban. Maybe a pistol grip too.
What if I am vegan? I never get any choices.

The individual engines were tiny
I don't know if tiny is the right way to describe the engines. I tend not to describe something bigger than me as "tiny"

this review DOES cover low bandwidth.
"56, 128, 256, 384 and 512 Kbps" I do believe this is high and low bandwith. I didn't make the comparison, the review did.
akami does not use QTSS, they use DSS ;)
quicktime = sorenson 3 in this review.
They use akami to stream jobs keynote, not one server running DSS

or linux or *bsd..........
sounds like a pos to me. shouldn't a geek just make one of these(but better) out spare equipment?
I'm sure microsoft won't will miss the money. just put it on bill's tab
In the USA, I thought call someone a knob was the same as calling them a penis.
Star Wars knobs is a good description of the people that would buy these guitars.
The knobs are the only halfway cool thing on the site.

Since when can't windows switch network settings without a reboot? Try windows 2000, or XP....no need to reboot
Will they get a beowulf cluster to serve these huge ads?
keep checking the mail for my money.
When someone starts off by saying
"I thought I would do a review on one of my favorite books."
I guess this is objective, since it is one of his favorites.
I bring my own pipe with me, but sometimes I prefer a joint.
