  1. For my fellow ADD'ers on Video Codec Comparison · · Score: 1, Redundant

    In conclusion: When encoding regular movies, if you look for a quick and dirty average solution DivX5 is your fix. If you're an SBC guru, want maximal details at high speed you can still stick to SBC, if you want details and are not worried about the alpha status and speed you should give XviD a shot. DivX5 and XviD also offer standalone playback capability on selected devices. If you don't worry about details too much and prefer to remain almost blockfree you should give RV9 a shot, or alternatively WMV9. Interestingly, the lead developer of XviD has offered to send me a build that would perform just like RV9.. I might take up that offer one day when I'm bored.

  2. Impress your friends on Water-Rocket-Powered Cars · · Score: 1

    Show off your new water-rocket powered cars, zero to slashdot in under 10 seconds.

  3. The obligatory geek relationship on Energy From Vibrations · · Score: 1

    How many other people's first thought on this was powerball, I don't have one but the little motions this talks about makes me think up the same thing.

  4. And then there was one on End In Sight For Alpha · · Score: 1

    Well not one, but.. I know this isn't a big name chip, at least in the PC world, but it's sad to see chip makers go away. One day AMD says it's backing off in its fight, now this one. Let's hope somebody else comes up soon and fights Intel While it's mentioned, anyone know of any up-and-coming chip makers?

  5. Re:Surprise, surprise on Shocker: Despicable Conduct From Disney · · Score: 1

    and by main i'd mean brightest

  6. Re:Surprise, surprise on Shocker: Despicable Conduct From Disney · · Score: 1

    Personally I don't think it's surprising that they did this, it's just surprising that he got caught and a slashdot reader brought it up.

    But truthfully, this sounds like something dumb to do. If "is nothing more than a 'two dot.com millionaires' working to create a world 'where we are all artist/waiters.'" is anything near a direct qoute it would appear that this isn't one of Disney's main lawyers.
