    1. replacing all bad cars with new cars takes years and lots of MORE energy to build and make. Try replacing 50million cars dude.
    2. Graduall reduction/efficiency improvements are short term benefits, yes good, but only half assed.
          What we need are truly independant "free" power, thta just sits there generating it. Go learn how nice coal is, it makes a shit bag
          of pollution, and dont tell me it can be made clean, because 3rd world countries cant afford that 900million dollars of upgrades.
    3. again insulating those 100million crappy homes takes a tonne of energy in manufacturing/transport/man power. Its not free , and has
          a long pay back rate. Personally I blame the idiots of the pre 60s for designing dingbat crap houses, darn baby boomer hippies parents.

    So the first thing thats easier to do is fixing the centralized power sources, start making free/clean power. Then using that make new
    elements to reduce usage.

  4. how hard is cross fade? GET CODING IDIOTS on Improve Your iPod with Rockbox · · Score: 1

    Cross fade is bloody simple.

    It only requires the decompressing of 2 mp3 streams at once. Or if the DSP is too slow, pre-decode enough ahead of time
    to have 4 seconds of raw audio in ram of current time+4 of MP3-A. ( thats only what... 4*44100 * 4 bytes = 705600 bytes. trivial!!!)

    Then start decoding MP3-B and ad the damn samples with a scaler or table for gods sake.

    Is that really that hard to do?

  7. Aussie cops are nicer than USA cops on Australian Parliament Approves Email Snooping · · Score: 1

    At least aussie copes wont beat you up or be asses most of the time.

    They usually are nicer, ie if they find 2g of pot, they go, oh well, no bother, too much paper work, we'll just
    throw it away. No need to record it. USA cops will give you 2years extra.

    But none of this is new, they could get email info on you from HDs in 1991 easily. But today its a bit more difficult if you store it in Gmail or some chineese SSL webmail service.

    Every corner in every street magazine store/711 you can find porn and buy it. Whats your problem?

    At least if they snoop emails, they will catch the dodgy politicians and evil corporates.

    Real crims wont use email, they will either talk in person at a nude steam bath , or bar.

    Face it, all 250 years of music is in within easy reach of everyone for zero cost + $12.95 for some blanks.

    Sure musicians are artists, but they dont deserve more money than the creator of a cpu or a car. Its only music, its not

    Yeah great,

    lets add it up.

    * police cost
    * lawyer cost
    * court cost
    * personal cost - lost income and lost taxes due to not working.

    = $150,000 for 2 years jail - thats the REAL cost to the govt for locking you up.
    If they just gave a $50 "Copyright Ticket" like a speeding fine, they get their $50 quickly, and you still
    continue to work and pay taxes and no lawyers/courts are wasted (they get paid enough for a lazyass job if you could call it a job)

    A tatoo on the head saing "(C) looser" would do the job cheaper.

    Btw downloading is NOT PIRACY, piracy is the act of taking ships in open waters, but (C) piracy is only the act
    of SELLING for PROFIT without a resellers right. They are the true pirates, those $20 CDs in hongkong etc.. they are
    the real pirates, thats the truth 7.

    OT - local shops outside usa selling console games 30% above USA prices, thats 'theft', since they are all mostly
    printed/packaged in singapore and transport costs are low, taxes minimal. Or xbox360 games, $39 USD in asia, $59 on amazon. WHY???

    List 7o7,
    Just because someone downloads it doesnt mean they would have bought it, they could be just 17yo and just
    playing around, they arent going to build a 747 with autocad at home.
    But if 100,000 kids download it and play with, guess what product becomes second nature and popular in the real
    industry? the one thats pirated. And businesses DO PAY FOR IT.

    If it wasn't for early windows piracy, the mac would have been numero UNO!!!

    And btw, of that $3995, I do not think 100% of the retail cost goes back to autocad employees, in real fact, 40%-60% goes
    back to the retailer, 10% to the govt. Of the cost thats left, 1-2% do the book/manual printer. Then another 15% or so back to the govt as coporate taxes from the companies profits. Then 5% to the CEO salary, and whats left, half to R&D and half to sales/marketing.

    So your poor little programmer potentially lost what... $100, but since they are SALARY employees, not a % of sales profiters, they loose nothing, as long as there is a minimum sales/month quota reached by sales/marketing including upgrades.
