  1. CD Copy on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best MP3 Encoder? · · Score: 1

    I have yet to try any ripping on my linux box, but CD Copy is hands-down the easiest and most flexible ripper I've seen for windows. Zero problems, well almost zero... the cddb stuff is a little cantankerous from behind the corp firewall... but the encoding is perfect.

  2. Re:TV is unhealthy on Quack! · · Score: 1

    If you haven't figured out how the TV and the Internet differ at this point, I take sheer pleasure in leaving you in the dark... I must assume that you cannot in any way be serious. I'd like to see the broadcast network equiv of www.freecode.com

  3. Re:Isolated incident? on Mindcraft Posts Linux Hate Mail · · Score: 1

    Wish she had cited her reasons for choosing fBSD for the server... I mean what does "because FreeBSD handles twice the Web traffic." mean ??? Please someone explain to me how a kernel handles web traffic??? I wish people only 1/10^1000 of what they think they know... sheesh...

  4. my take on things... on Linux Kernel 2.4 out by this Fall? · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that this is a good move for one simple reason: fewer changes. What I mean by that is that you don't have to sit and debate over all the changes in the jump to the next major rev, (e.g., ipfwdadm vs ipchains, USB vs. broken down USB). There may very well be many features rolled into the quantums we've been taking in the past but the more releases that are made add a level of granularity to the upgrades that have been absent in the past, afforded only by patches. I think this actually reflects a much more meaningful use of the minor rev numbers, which seems to be a common point of contention.

  5. Re:Cybex Switch Boxes on Ask Slashdot: Hardware for Headless Linux Boxes · · Score: 1

    No kidding, I thought I had a haunting on my hands with all those ghosts... so I too exercised the demon back to the office, err, previous location :) Does anyone know of a vid switch that does it Right (shielded internally)?

  6. vtad may fit the bill on Ask Slashdot: Performance Monitoring for Linux · · Score: 1

    I was poking around for similar utes today and ran across a rules based monitor... text out and looks REAL configurable... perfect for scheduling and collecting raw data for later analysis... check it out at http://www.blakeley.com/resources/ Please reply and let me know if this was any good. I may end up using it in the future and would appreciate and commentary you might have.

  7. Re:MediaOne is da' bomb in Boston on MS and AOL Interested in MediaOne · · Score: 1

    ACtually, a T2 DOES exist and it is functionally 4 T1s. And your gut is correct, D4/AMI is 1.544 and is typically used for voice, where ESF/B8ZS is used for data, e.g. frame relay. But to be perfectly correct, Tx does enter into the disccusion, these are DSx, as in DS0. T is the line coding and framing specs, NOT the bandwidth which has the DS nomenclature.
