I was under the impression that writing to a flash drive will eventually wear out the chip.
They have special file systems drivers like squashfs etc that try to spread writes out evenly so as not to write to the same areas too often on embedded devices. Or in the case of embedded devices like the Linksys WRT54G they go out of their way to limit writing to the flash by mirroring the filesystem into a ramdrive with symlinks.
This must be a different technology that can deal with a lot of writing I'm guessing?
As for good EQ'ing, I've always preferred good mic placement to EQ, never have met a digital EQ I liked... And I haven't made enough money to buy a good outboard EQ yet;)
I suppose I said that because I only ever deal with purely electronic music, and I haven't recorded anything real in a long long time.
Most likely, what it is doing is just recompressing the audio again another time itself to even it all out, and losing even more resolution. Which sucks, but is better than nothing.
as CDs have pushed the limits of loudness thanks to advances in digital technology
Why blame this on advances in digital technology? It was always possible to compress the shit out of audio, weather you used a digital compressor or analog one.
Try blaming stupid suits who don't care about audio quality, or music, who basically tell audio engineers to make it as loud or louder than every other CD or else they won't have a job.
One of the most compressed albums I have ever heard, is October Rust by Type O Negative. Not only is it compressed to death, if you look at the waveform, it literally clips constantly.
Compression is not a bad thing though. It really gives punch to drums and bass, evens out the volume of vocals, etc. It is almost the one thing other than good EQing that makes modern music sound modern, in my opinion. But to do all of that work, and then shove yet another compressor or brickwall limiter on the master and squish a whole track, is sad, and only something someone who hated music would do.
Well that's news to me. It's irritating when Linus is given all the credit for the operating system. He made the kernel, at the very least you generally need the GNU tool chain to have something usable, plus a couple of other little things. Do we all have to have the same conversations about this naming thing all the time?
I guess Microsoft will have to leak one of their security flaws to the public/script kids, and not fix it for a few months, but say it doesn't effect Vista in the meantime.
I think they should have definitely refunded your ticket, but I still believe that the right thing to do is leave and not let them search you. Whatever option you pick I don't think submitting to their search should be the choice. I'm just saying that it is your fault they search you if you say 'Ok you can search me'.
Ok, seeing as a movie theatre has no right to search you, you have the option of just leaving. If she didn't just leave to go to a less ridiculous theatre then it's her own fault she submitted to being searched.
Either she wanted to see whatever movie so badly that she subjected herself to it, or she just wanted a reason to sue someone for $60k.
You're really not even supposed to submit to police searches without warrant or good cause, so whey the hell would you let someone with far far far less authority.
People need to stop thinking everyone has authority over them, seriously you can just leave the premisis.
Well I'm pretty sure iPhone uses flash memory as data storage, and has 128 MB of RAM. If you put the swap partition on a ram disk that makes no sense.
In embedded devices flash memory is only good for so many many writes before it will start failing. They can take a lot of writes, but if you're swapping memory out to it all the time, it will shorten the life of the flash chip really quick
That is why embedded devices like the Linksys WRT54G router go out of their way to make it so you rarely need to write to the flash chip. For the filesystem for instance, they install that in flash once statically, then make a ram disk which mirrors it with symlinks. If you want to change a file you delete the symlink and copy the file into the ram disk for real and modify it.

How do you expect a corporation to display your material online if you don't give them permission to do so?
Google doesn't own something just because you give them permission to display it publicly, oh my goodness, what a stupid article.
It's a little hard to avoid being redundant when there's no posts yet while I'm typing mine out.

It doesn't sound evil, it just sounds annoying and ruining.
Are you a bot or do you just like posting that?
This insinuation that MS is causing a 'coming divide' in the Linux community.
Why is Slashdot helping to promote this type of fear by posting this type of article?

I'm mostly joking.
I'm happier than a snake in a sugar-cane field.

But castles are awesome. Let's do it!
Why wouldn't you carry whatever you wanted in your bag, and then tell someone who wanted to look in it to piss off and leave the premises?

Because you can change your MAC address.
Blank DVDs are way cheaper than blank CDs here because of this tax, which I find weird.
Anyway I'm Canadian and I'd rather have this levey than put up with a bunch of corporate bullshit from the RIAA.
I don't know but, if you don't use the roads you still pay taxes to support them, so it's a little more consistant.
A move just came out based on the books http://flatlandthemovie.com/
No right? I have every right to pick up any book and swear oaths to any made up or real person I feel like.
I think you should go easy on telling people what's right and wrong, and what they should or shouldn't do.
Listen to what you're saying, you sound like the president of the US or something.
'Freedom Hater' is the type of language used by a propagandist.
Wow that's just crazy. That calls for civil disobedience I think.
