The iRive iFP-180T has 128 MB of memory as well as a 90 dB S/N ratio and a LCD for about $140 at Best Buy. I don't own one...but if the specs tell anything, as well as the one review I read, this product seems like a great one. I wonder why it has hardly been noticed by the mp3 community?
you should be able to have as much bandwidth as physically possible. I have a cable connection and it is actually fast enough downloading it really doesn't bother me. But uploads are a different story...
I think there is a conflict of terms here. If the earth became a black hole the event horizon would have a radius of about 1 cm. The actual mass of the earth, on the other hand, would have to be compressed to the point where density would become infinite, thus a really small volume.
You say that 15 billion light years is the width of the universe, but I was under the impression that the universe was immesurable and expanded out to infinity. Plus, if there was a "black hole" that consisted of all the matter in the universe and was the size of the universe itself, then it would not be a black hole. This is because density is found by mass/volume. A black hole must have an infinite density so volume must approach zero in order for the density to approach infinity. Calculus my dear Watson.
True...I guess theoretically it could occupy that large of a space, but then again I don't believe that there is enough matter in the universe for it to do so. Therefore, I guess I should rephrase my argument to say "It is not plausible for the black hole to occupy such a volume".
Yes, but the point is (no pun intended) is that the size of this black hole would be abou the size of maybe a pen point (not something with very much volume and certaintly not one with the size that they claim.)
The whole idea behind a black hole is that it is a point with the mass of a star. If it was the size of a star with a really large mass, then it would just be a big star. I really don't believe that a black hole can occupy a volume, else it wouldn't work.
AOL is consistantly the worst rated ISP in existence. The only reason people continue to use it is because they don't want to go through the trouble of changing screen names. Also, people who get a new computer see that shining AOL icon on the desktop and don't really know that they have more options to getting online.
By speed I mean page rendering speed and the quickness of this browser is compared to that of IE. If Phoenix is based on Mozilla's code then it really can't be that much faster.
I use the 1.2 Alpha version of Mozilla and it feels faster than the 1.1 stable release. I can't see a browser going much faster...plus this version has so bug fixes that make certain pages scroll smoother.
actually the comment was by someone who supports Mac (but doesn't own one). Even so, he is a com. sci major so i figure that he would know something about it. Plus this subject is just an opinion, not research of facts, so asking my friend's opinion does count in this situation.
well that is ur opinion. I feel that for the price, I can get a better PC that runs a *nix os. As a prospective computer science student, I know that I will need to use a *nix platform and according to people I have talked to OS X doesn't cut it.
This is true....I was also researching an Apple computer for my college career and was close to picking one as my final choice, but in light of this and other factors I have decided to go w/ a PC running windows and linux or perhaps freebsd. This way I get the best of both worlds.
Very interesting.....someone should also do an experiment where/. is converted to PHP code, just to see which runs better. Obviously this would be a large project, but there is already Slashnot which is coded in PHP, and with a little more work it would be up to par with the real slashdot.
I think that the author of this article is probably going to end up being correct. Throughout history, earth has warmed and cooled in what looks like a sinusodial pattern. An right now we are in for a big cooling. The more disturbing fact is, that I believe that there is not much that we can do to stop it. This phemomina has been happing as far back as we can tell, so what would make us think that we could stop it now?
I think name2host has the cheapest hosting around. Their servers run FreeBSD and for $35 a year (yes a year) and you get PHP4 & MySQL accounts along with a domain name. (If you sign up please put that expugno recommended you!)
After watching a stream of Apple's switch adds today during a football game broadcast, I've come to a conclusion about the majority of Apple's adds: they compare older versions of Windows to Apple's latest OS X. Former Windows users complain about not being able to plug digital cameras into their computers and having them work, or not having the capability to edit digital videos on their computers. These may be true, but not if they were to come from using Windows XP on a new PC. Microsoft could have adds that say: "Switch to windows cause apple's OS is unstable and doesn't even have the benefits of a command line or advanced features" Obviously this would be in refernce to the older versions of Mac OS. Most of the arguments presented in the switch commercials wouldn't stand up against a new PC running windows XP.

That girl is your friend...then you are the luckiest geek ever!
I wish I could get my webpage to showup on the main /. page!

Wondering if there are any P2P programs that have a lot of users w/ ogg files...I use kazaa but I'm not finding a lot of ogg files.

500 Internal Server Error on brak...looks like it could be a problem.

that has to be the best sig ever
Ever since the French killed all the intelligent people in their revolution, their society has just gone down hill.

We should try to slashdot slashdot. That would be something. Wonder what it would take to do it?
