  1. Re:Does this mean? on Piezo-Acoustic iPod Hack · · Score: 1


    I dunno about that. On my Sharp Zaurus 860 PDA, the libvorbisidec (a.k.a. the integer codec for ogg vorbis) gets much, much better performance than the MP3 codec (which I believe has to use emulated floating-point because the Zaurus lacks an FPU).


    mp3 doesn't need floating point. MAD (a free mp3 decoder) uses fixed point internally.
  2. Re:Tape didn't quite catch up... on Affordable Home Backups for 10-100G Systems? · · Score: 1

    >Native VXA drives

    Just the VXA media is $80 for 33Gb.

    DDS3 is $10 for 12Gb, about half what a hard
    disk costs.

    For both the tape drive itself is about $700.
