Printed matter isn't anti-aliased either, and printed matter is the gold standard for good looking text.
uh. printed matter isnt using pixels either. its already rounded where it needs to be. anti-aliasing is used to get rid of pixel "stepping". if you arent even using pixels to begin with, why would you want anti-aliasing?
why is this informative? he WAS talking about quicktime for windows. thats what this linux plugin uses. quicktime for windows. its not a mac binary, jeez.
the moto of codeweavers is "bringing windows to linux" for fucks sake
YIAAM (yes i am a musician), and theres NO DOUBT the 8kb/s file is better than mp3 and wma. but the 32kb/s and 64kb/s files were horrible compared to them. the matrix song example at 32 sounds robotic and artificial using the kts compression, very flat. the others are clearer and more spacial. in both "higher" bitrate examples i found the quality to be wma > mp3 > kts.
i used to do this with little motors, like the ones from cassette players over 20 years ago.
they wouldnt be very loud tho unless you touched the middle part to a large plate of something to vibrate it.
nothing to do with my isp. i talked to people on both sympatico and access communications, and its happening to them as well. google is doing the lookup on the addresses and forwarding people over.
im pretty sure this just started happening tonight, but when i go to google.com (its my start page), it redirects me to google.ca "google canada". this offers me the choice of searching for sites in canada only, and also in french if i wish. my isp is rogers cable btw.
interesting..
ok my numbers were a little off. a 14.4 could do about 5 gigs a MONTH.
but a 56k modem could do almost 5 gigs a week.
anyways the point i was trying trying to make was it only takes a few hours to do many gigs with their current speed limits.
the sad thing is 10 gigs a month is NOTHING.
i consider myself a medium user, i download the odd movies etc. but why not? rogers is 350k/s. it doesnt take long. i would guess i frequenty do 10 gigs A WEEK. you could do 10 gigs a week on a 14.4 modem if it was on the whole time at full speed, thats how much bandwidth it is. at the 350 k/s cap it can be done in no time at all. now the REALLY sad thing is i bet its gonna be LESS than 10 gig a month.
Divx;-) with the smiley is version 3.* and is a hack of a microsoft codec. what we are talking about here is DivX4 by DivXNetworks http://www.divx.com/ it is completely different, it is incompatible, and is not a hack of any other codec. the similarities are that they both have similar names and both are based on mpeg4 technology.
he is saying sixfold from doom (250,000) to shrek (1,500,000).
but this is also inaccurate because they compare the full number of polygons per SCENE in quake3 and doom3, to a CHARACTER in shrek. a full scene in shrek i would imagine is a very very large number.
money IS a motivator, with quake 3 carmack found a new way of doing the character models that would saved a LOT of memory (we heard all about it in a.plan update). the idea was pulled when they figured it may have made them miss an xmas release. which all of their games seem to magically hit.
ive never read up on evolution. but ive thought about it to myself from time to time. i would think that evolution would need massive death to work properly, that or a very very small group. if mutant genes spring up, the best way for them to stay on top is where this group is in danger and dying and somehow this mutation is an advantage and keeps them alive. the closer to extinction a species is the faster it will evolve in other words. humans are only at risk from themselves. if (when?) we start killing large numbers of ourselves we may see some evolution happening again, but as it stands now, large numbers, lots of intermingling, theres no chance.
Slashdot Mirror
will it allow me to float around like bugs bunny?
oh, you meant etherNET?
DeCSS didn't have any huge backing...
decss also wasnt "cracked". the source was accidentally distributed. by xing i think.
Israel tamed desert.
Isreal also gets 5 billion dollars a year from US taxpayers.

score 5 my ass..
When the light is ON, the data is "1"
When the light is off, the data is "0"
I guess that modem in my closet is receiving a lot of 0s then

at the current rate its been going at. itll be 128ghz in 9 years
you do know that the bitrate of mpeg is variable right? you can have a low bitrate mpeg thats the same size and quality as a real video file.

"If you leave you house, and I still your TV, then when you get home replace it I still stole."
wouldnt the equiv of this be breaking into a video store and stealing a videotape, taking it home and watching it, then returning it at a later date?
a digital copy of something is not stealing, period.
windows update is also a choice, it does NOT run by itself unless you select it to.
im pretty sure you can set up up2date to do automatic updates as well cant you? im pretty sure ive seen that.

i think its been 5 years since i first heard of this company/tech. where is it?
its no match for my paper vehicle.
paper beats rock right?
ya, funny.
but bill gates never said such nonsense
Longhorn is the codename, just like Whistler was for XP They also do use version numbers. Windows 2000 = 5.0 Windows XP = 5.1
he said "outlook users" not microsoft.
outlook users are NOT trying to "fuck things up".
the intent is VERY different
