Question... what are the birth rates per viable female for the following groups?
lower class, lo IQ, Crack heads, prision "visitors", and welfare moochers
middle class, medium IQ, average Joe/Jane, HS diploma, mabey some further education, mabey an arrest, kids, job, car payment etc.
upper class, high IQ, higher education, professionals, business owners, economic producers
So next time they "visit" prison givem the option of getting fixed for a reduced "visit" and prevent the next generation of crime. Apply this to all classes from the Michael Milkin's to the crackhead bob's and watch what happens for the next 40 yrs to...

Wow, most people have trouble getting telephone quality audio through that. Is that one of those 'infinite compression' codecs?

Matroska is a A/V container (think AVI MOV ASF) that is aiming to be THE format to which all others will be compaired. HTTP and RTP streaming OK. Network glitch resistant. Totally Open. DVD style menuing and almost at version 1.0. I have been following the A/V open source projects for some time and these two (Martoska and XviD) are the biggest things since sliced bread. We finally have the tools to do online TV like we have had online radio for a few years now.
Be advised... XviD is brutal on the encode. a 720x480 29.970fps video 1 hour takes my celeron 1000 4-6 hours to compress with all the quality settings turned up. But the decode is not that bad in terms of CPU power and at 2kps-4kbs you are looking at some DAMN fine video. Even at 700kbps it is looking good. Best compressor on the planet (at least that I have messed with).
I assume you are familar with Ogg Vorbis which is compairable to AAC in terms of quality/bitrate. It makes a great companion to XviD inside a Matroska container

from the BrookGPU website... As the programmability and performance of modern GPUs continues to increase, many researchers are looking to graphics hardware to solve problems previously performed on general purpose CPUs. In many cases, performing general purpose computation on graphics hardware can provide a significant advantage over implementations on traditional CPUs. However, if GPUs are to become a powerful processing resource, it is important to establish the correct abstraction of the hardware; this will encourage efficient application design as well as an optimizable interface for hardware designers.
From what I understand this project it aimed at making an abstraction layer for GUP hardware so writing code to run on it is easier and standardsied.

Because of the "deathstar problem" they are outsourcing inspection and final testing of the drives to a different company now.

here ya go. Some info on the death toll. after reading that page I suggest your click around that site a little, it's a good read.
Here is the authors bio for reference. He does know (unlike most/.ers) what is BS and what is not.
Do you think that the people who are in charge of rolling this out are aware of WiMax? Were they 6 months ago? This effort has probably been in the works for about 6 months (that's a SWAG based on what I can remember about the abandoned data wireless rollout at UUNet/WCOM in 2000).
Well I dunno about Nextel but I have been folling it for well over a year. One would think that a big corp would look at things like this before jumping into something like this. What with the engineers and anaylists and the miserable 3G failures of there compeditors.
I may be off base here but I think these guys are not that bright and mabey should read/. more often. WiMax products are a year off and that technology is going displace all of these celluar data/Internet systems much like WiFi wiped out all of the wireless LAN systems. Blowing the $$$ on this type of system now is just a waste.
Should we tell em or sit back and watch the flameout (packing hot dogs and marshmellows read:sell short)
If what they say is true why aren't they just using an MP3 stream? that works everywhere. Could it be this has something to do with their hosting company being a big Windows 2000 server farm?
I was just thinking the same thing. Winamp Shoutcast (although a little funny) or IceCast would work great. I have been playing with this stuff myself (check my homepage -err rather don't my little box can't handle more that a few streams) and the standard MP3/M3U combo works great. Am I missing something? Or are these people just not "with it" and have to spend money and go with a propriatary system. I have not used one of these streaming media packages but my fooling around with pure audio is great. Every damn player I have used can deal with good ol MPEG audio and I have messed with streaming MPEG video. MPEG1 at 336 is just about as good/ little better that news.com's Windows Media at 220 plus it plays everywhere and best of all, Bill isn't involved.
Can someone enlighten me please... I have been trying to figure this out and I just don't get it.
I hereby propose an addition to the HTTP status codes for the 418 Slashdotted response. This response code MAY also automatically request that the clients operator place a temporary mirror online for a 24 hour period.

I mean we all "know" this thing will resolve itself in Linux's favor, it is just a matter of time. May as well make a few bucks off SCO comming death.
