  1. Re:No way on Beating Diablo II, Irene The Infirm's Way? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you'd RTFA you'd know she beat Act 1.

  2. What??? on USB/Firewire "Branching" -- Is it Possible? · · Score: 2, Informative

    What I think the writer is asking is if it is possible to have two cameras and stitch the feeds together so it's twice as wide. Like having two monitors but as inputs rather than outputs. I'd assume that it is quite possible to write a program that would listen to both devices and put the feeds next to eachother but I'm not sure why you'd want to do this.

  5. Re:what I want in a music service on Apple to Launch iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1
    "What I _do_ mind is crappy 128bps recording"

    Actually, it's 128bps but it's AC3 audio not MP3 which sounds very good to my ear. It sounds much better than an mp3 @ 160bps and probably on par with 192bps recording.

  6. Re:Portable Audio Players on IBM Introduces 'Air Bags' For Laptop Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    I agree! I have, however, tested the limits of iPod durability by accidently yanking it off a shelf by the headphone cord and watching it plumit four feet to a tiled floor... while playing. It didn't even skip.

  8. Legal P2P... on Will Legal P2P Music Distribution Succeed? · · Score: 1
    is like bundling the worst aspects of both worlds. Legal music downloading is great... iTunes Music is easy and not even that expensive for a (mostly) uncrippled download that sounds very good. P2P means unpredictable download speeds, crap shoot for quality, and in general painful searching for songs, the only thing that makes P2P worth it is cause it costs you only your time, and even then I often check iTMS before I go to download a song. I value my time and the work of artists.

    The way execs have responeded to P2P is retarded, but music should NOT be free. Cut out the middle man that is the RIAA, but it's simply selfish to consider that just because open source programs can be free for all that there can be a similar business model for music too. The open source coders are the weekend warriors of the tech world, but they don't pay the bills by working on an open source project. "Blah blah Metallica is rich blah lets steal from them" you say? I don't care how rich someone is, it doesn't give you the right to copy the work that made them rich. They got rich cause someone shelled out money for their product. If you don't think it's worth it, or you don't think that they should be rich then go without their music, don't tell yourself it's ok to copy it.

    Awwwhhh... it had to be a Republician to come out with this. I sure wanted to claim this one for our team.

    Actually, Apple's Rendezvous also has a messaging componant in iChat, so there is a shred of a case.

  17. Re:cool on HDTV Reception Now Available on Linux · · Score: 1

    actually, your Radeon9800 will output to your HDTV card because HDTV can't be sent over the PCI bus... too little bandwidth. The MyHD card takes input from your graphics card and then overlays the HD signal output to your monitor

  18. Maybe this es5 thing is a blessing p2p on RIAA/MPAA vs. xMule Author, EarthStation 5 · · Score: 1

    Everyone on slashdot continues to support the idea of legal p2p because there are loads of applications that do not break the law. Instead of thinking of es5 as giving a bad name to p2p instead look at it as though es5 will become a known illegal vending point and that other organizations that say they only want legal trade could asipre to be avoided in the RIAA/MPAA attacks. 2c. ?

    No it won't. Have you ever used Virtual PC, even 5.0? On a $3000 Mac dual 1.42 it runs slower than my Celeron366.

  22. Re:Performance hit? on Motherboard Audio Comes Of Age · · Score: 1
    Yeah but an Audigy 2 platinum costs more than my whole motherboard, and I could have gotten a chip 20% faster with the money that you spent on an Audigy which means I get to use that 18% all the time, not just when I game with EAX on.

    I just can't justify a soundcard like that. I thought that I'd want to get one once I got an HDTV card but it comes with optical outputs for home theater 5.1 speakers so I still can't justify getting one.

    Yes, yes, you can be a gamer _and_ a Linux user you know. Yeah it's called dual boot. If you want to quibble about getting 100% of your gaming performance why would you do it under Linux

  23. Re:Have you tried IBM? on RAID for Zero-G? · · Score: 1

    What Zocalo said was that there are already computers (Thinkpads) that go into space with regular IBM HDs in them, so adding a RAID controler shouldn't make any difference.

  24. Re:price? on World's Smallest Desktop Pentium4? · · Score: 2, Informative
    Well you can put one together for yourself.

    The Case is a mini itx case with a fan blow hole drilled and a low profile (probably U1) heatsink for the chip.

    A motherboard that supports P4s in the mini-itx form can be found here, however I don't know any resellers... google it.

    The rest is just laptop parts, but I really don't trust a 55W powersuply on a P4 so you might want to replace it with one here. My guess is that it will end up being $600-700 in parts so think about $1000 retail.

  25. Re:What flava? on New iPod Firmware Released · · Score: 2, Informative
    USB 2.0 For PC users, the iPod is able to sync files via USB 2.0*, which transfers data at up to 480 Mbps and comes standard on the latest Windows computers. USB 2.0 is also compatible with USB 1.1, although data transfer speeds are much slower.
