so bad...there are laws in the US that force telcos to fix your phone lines if you don't get a 14400 connect or better...granted that's not the fastest thing on earth but better than 4800...ever tried another modem?
MP3Pro migth be better quality than ogg, but you can't beat the price tag of ogg (Actually Im not sure about the quality bit, haven't tested it).
Gotta give it to you, you are being honest. You don't see that very often around here...Do a blind test with both mp3pro and ogg at the same bitrate and you will realize how much Ogg beats the crap out of mp3pro...
They are from Russia, you got to cut them some slack. I've been pondering talking to Anna and offer some sort of proofreading service. Then again, my English ain't perfect:)
I have to admit Opera is really fast...or maybe it's because its Sunday morning...ehhehe...
But I checked the memory allocation with one page open (Win XP SP1)...46MB real memory, 49MB virtual. That's 95MB allocated. What happened to the lean, mean browser?
Also...the checkboxes No karma and Post anonymously show up without their labels...is slashdot non complainant?
Disclaimer: i'm a network engineer, not an EE, so I've been deliberately vague about exactly how RF modulation and such actually work.
You mean...you are a sysadmin?;)
for those who don't get it, read the article about changing the title of systems administrator.
I wish I had mod points today, this is FUD, FUD, BS, troll, whatever you name it. It's true that Knoppix is unable to open certain memory-hog apps without a swapfile but it's a far cry from being slow and even a farther cry from using 1GB. I have found 256MB without swapfile is more than adequate to run anything in Knoppix. If you have a machine with less than 256MB nowadays you prolly are an AOLuser. Happy swapping!:)

I don't know about you but I can clearly see both letters capitalized. A capital "L" would stand out don't you think? and a lower case "i" too. And so the number "1".
No, we got so used to the bloated code we didn't notice, or care about the slowdowns.
I applied the patch and I have noticed that not only it improves the loading performance, it also improves I/O. I made a program called MasterJoin (http://masterjoin.sourceforge.net not up yet but stay tuned!) that allows you to join usenet binaries split with mastersplitter (.001,.002,...)without using bat files or mastersplitter itself. Right now it's in early alpha and I haven't posted it yet until I feel confident there is no data loss, but so far it works. Before the XPhotfix I could join a 90MB file divided on 180 parts in ~1 minute. After the hotfix, 15 seconds!
which I don't know of any compression format which provides decent audio quality at that rate. Even the claims of 100 hours of music on a DVD (assuming a standard single layer 4.7GB recordable DVD) would only allow for 110kbps which is getting kind of low.
Two words: Ogg Vorbis. VERY good quality as low as 45kbps, better than mp3 at 110kbps.
I believe all 32bit OS'es do that...it's what they call "user memory" and "system memory". Their memory address are separate so no program can overwrite the OS...I do remember Vax VMS having the same arrangement...
The ceiling is 2/3GB not 4GB.....a process can only get 2GB of memory maximum as the other 2GB is reserved for the operating system itself...(in win2k/xp if you modify your boot.ini with the switch/3 this becomes 3GB process/1GB OS)

I bet my money on this:Labtec Verse 504 I got it for only $8.88 at the local walmart and has really good noise cancelling technology. No headsets needed, voice comes out flawlessly, and easily THE best mic for its price range.
XM uses 96kbit and a propiertary codec to send programming to the XM receivers...why can't they
or someone else use something like ogg vorbis (very acceptable stereo sound at ~45kbps) and peercast combined with 802.11x(b,g,whatever)/CDMA/WISPs?

That would be 516MB you idiot ;-)
Latency is in ns. I posted about similar benchmarks in xbitlabs' forums about 3 days before the article came out. Grrr and no credit for me :)

I goofed. I was thinking of Cell technology...damn sundays :)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we going to get a taste of IBM's Grid technology on Sony's spanking new Playstation 3?

Did you take into consideration the duplicate posts ;-)
or get an emulator on the PC (like Vice) and remove the throttle for up to 1000% faster gameplay :)

Why Windows was better than Linux, tonight at 10.
Use the AMD Opteron or Athlon 64 and you can go 64 bit!!! :-)

Clearchannel has a virtual monopoly on the AM sector and it's only a matter of time before FM will get acquired by the big interests...
