  1. Depends on what type of War on Technology And The Fast Food Nation · · Score: 1

    Are we talking about war of the riches, war of the jealous, war of the greedy, or war of the lusted, war of the revengeful, etc. Each are types of wars that have been fought, many resulting in 0 human casualties but they are types of wars nonetheless.

  2. Re:'Would It Look Good" is Not the Measure on Matrox G550 Killer Video Conferencing Featureset? · · Score: 1

    Resolution is only important after we get past 20 frames per second(the point the brains starts to perceive an image is in motion.) If we can't reach that, high res isn't important. If we have enough bandwidth for 20+ frames/second at 640x480+ then you can play with the res. If their not at the point, fps is more important for good motion.

  3. Re:'Would It Look Good" is Not the Measure on Matrox G550 Killer Video Conferencing Featureset? · · Score: 1

    We need pictures to enable our skills at reading people's body language, which requires high resolution at a low frame rate, not like many teleconferencing systems of today - low resolution at a high frame rate. In the long run, it's probably best to concentrate on high frame rates at lower res. People can live with lower res because their can be some software rendering that can give it a virtual resolution which appeals to the eyes. If we go in the other direction, Low frame rate and high res then we can create virtual frames. Taking two frames, guessing the positions where the object would be between two frames. Unfortunately, this takes more logic and requires two frames, a beginning and an end for it to be calculated. This gives a slightly longer lag time because of those calculations and having to wait to put the calculated frame before placing the calculated frame. In 10 years or so, we'll have high res and high frame rate so this won't be a problem.

    I couldn't get into the article to read it *too far away?* but if it is made up then why does slashdot even bother posting it yet. Why don't they wait until someone produces some benchmarks and they have servers for X11.

    On being offtopic: Have you used VNC? I've heard about it but haven't had a chance to test it out. Is it any good.

  5. p=(i^2)*r on Superconducting Power Cables in Denmark · · Score: 1

    in reality:

    v=i*r and p=v*i

    so p=(i^2)*r || p=(v^2)/r.

    It's all the same thing.

    I use Konqueror at home. It's cool. Their are a couple of annoyances such as "no same image as" button, but besides that, I use it over netscape.

  8. Like that's new on AOL 6.0 Bundled with Windows XP? · · Score: 2

    AOL has been bundling their product with nearly any company who will accept their money, except for Linux. It was just a matter of time before Microsoft did the same.

  9. Re:How about this: on AOL 6.0 Bundled with Windows XP? · · Score: 1

    Internet Explorer has made leaps and bounds but it still sucks. Netscape was great back when but it also sucks now. Netscape is dead and IE is a thriving grunt. Opera will never be, without sums of money, that of either. in the end, no one has won and we all have a shitty browser that won't do exactly what you want it to do.
