I've been able to have multiple people listening all at once. Mind you, this isn't like other "streaming" MP3 programs, but it lets you choose what to listen to instead.
Not to reply to myself, but couple this, a mini-ITX board, MythTV, and a case, and you have a real nice home-theater solution. I created a mini-ITX system for my car, and I can bring it in and hook it up to my stereo, sync over ethernet, etc...
Well, if you have read the article, you can see that 3ivx (not 3ivX as the article states:) ) does not fare well. However, 3ivx does have one thing that the others do not have whatsoever... it was built from scratch for QuickTime compatability. The reason that this is a good thing is the versatility you can achieve with a QuickTime movie. I have personally ripped and encoded an anime movie, and was able to put both English and Japanese, as well as English subtitles, all controlled by a flash menu. The few OGMs I have seen have similar capabilites, but nothing quite as nice as QuickTime.
The video quality is actually pretty damn good, IMO. I suggest trying it out for yourself. Check my webpage for more relevant information.
Don't forget the email from Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf telling us of how he was recently ousted from his country, but all of his money in a Nigerian (Iraqi?) bank now needs to be transferred, maybe to you!
So, who would be interested in nothing more than a high-quality sound bite? Most CF and similar products are small, and audio recording is big. Or are there multi-gigabyte flash cards in the making?
On a side note, I had custom made a gold, copper and silver ring with a piece of meteorite as the stone for my girlfriend. Thankfully, it was a gift from a artist friend of mine, but I'm told the value would have been $1000+ (US).
Of course, there is a sad ending to the story, as she later dumped me. But I still have the ring! Ha.
Well, I still live in Athens, and I frankly think I don't go downtown enough. It is one of the better downtowns that I have had the opportunity to be in/around. As a former high-school student and current college student (not at UGA, however) I have to resent your first few statements about the type of people downtown.
The article also points out that while it is 3 blocks now, they hope to move it to 24 soon. You point out that adults avoid downtown. I assume you mean people who aren't in college. But the college kids are exactly who would be most likely to use this. Imagine a student who goes to lunch at the Bluebird Cafe (excellent vegan stuff). The said student can have his/her PDA/laptop and do some research for the next class, etc. I'm not saying everyone will, but no one will if the infrastructure is not in place.
I do agree with some of your points however. A campus-wide network should exist for every college in the US. (being an electrical engineering / computer science major allows me to say that:) ) Athens' smell reminds me of a sea port in Italy that I got to visit with UGA's study-abroad program, but it isn't everywhere, so you are partially right about that.
Now I just wish I had that Powerbook G4 to go downtown with.
To all those who are complaining or noticing that the answers to the questions stray or are off-topic, think of Andy Kaufman.
Remember: This interview is from someone who creates an A.I. program that responds by a lookup of sorts in a massive database of possible questions. (If I understand correctly)
I still have, sitting less than 10 feet away from me, my DACTA set to connect my LEGOs to my old Apple IIe. it was the basis for a lot of my life now. It was the first chance I had to install a 3rd party card into a computer, the first chance I had to program, and the first chance I had to build anything of substance. I got it for my birthday, and at an amazing price of $4000! (Forgive me if that is horribly wrong, but I was young, and I swear thats what my dad said they cost.) If nothing else, it allows me to keep around my IIe for a long time.
While you have a good point, a better analogy would be one unordered encyclopedia referencing another.
A magazine you could point to and it would have a table of contents, etc, as well as being compact.
An encyclopedia of my type would be hard to find something, and your readers would have little luck finding what you were talking about. This is the point of deep-linking.
Overall, the transfer and resulting service went fine here in Athens, GA. However, there is a little bit of complaint. I have a G4 set up as a NAT box (also my main computer) and my dad's G3 on a subnet. This is because our new provider, Charter, no longer supports multiple computers per cable modem. Instead of buying a router, I went with the software solution. Now, about once or twice a day, I lose the internet. DNS stops responding, but I have BIND set up to cache for 20 days and that doesn't solve the problem. Only recourse is to reboot. Even running/etc/rc again doesn't fix it. However, service-wise, everything seems to have been done right on the money.

I'm betting that the parent is referring to this:

Used for real-time image based rendering. Quite expensive.

Quite nice
gnump3d
Its a nice perl implementation, easy to install, and works flawlessly with my 20GB of MP3s.
The best part is how so many people bitched about iTunes for Windows brushed metal look. I guess MS decided they really did like how it looked. :)

"Giant Hobbit"

From this sentence I conclude you are not a true geek, cause you don't know what a hobbit is.
Hmm, this is modded 4, Insightful...

Somebody forgot how to read sarcasm...

We are working on it, and expect it to be released within a few months...
