  1. Re:Still too slow. on Wireless at Firewire Speeds? · · Score: 2, Informative

    DivX/XviD/MPEG are all lossy codecs for natural looking video images. The math above just does not apply if you are thinking of a remote monitor situation.
    You can already do a remote desktop with Remote Desktop Protocol on Windows XP at 802.11b speeds.

  2. Freedom on Cell Phones Changing Social Group Communication · · Score: 1

    My cell gives me freedom.
    I can arrange meetings, get in touch with people while I'm doing other time wasting things like laundry, shopping, driving to work or while I'm on my daily walk.
    If I don't want to talk with anyone I just turn my cellphone off. Simple.
    I no longer have a landline.

    For me, its worth the price.

  3. Re:Wonderful.. on Mission: Infiltrate the P2P Network · · Score: 1

    I guess you are paying for the music, not the media itself.

  4. Re:Cleaning and the Star Trek Transporter on Cloned Cat Not a 'Carbon Copy' · · Score: 1

    Obviously cloning and transporting are NOT the same problem.
    When you clone you only copy the genetic material of the being. Since the moment of conception two individuals with same genetic material accumulate different experiences.
    Those experiences, feelings are stored somehow physically in someones brain, so when you you use the Enterprise transporters you are transporting those feelings too.

  5. Re:What about PCI? on S3's DeltaChrome Examined · · Score: 1

    That your graphics card is scanning the monitor at 75Hz doesnt mean that there are 75 frames per second going over the the AGP bus. Actually if no pixels are chaning in the screen the data transfered through the bus must be close to 0 MB/s.

  6. Re:Go raw! on MPEG 4, Windows Media 9 At War · · Score: 1

    That's about right. We should be working hard in getting multi terabyte hard disks, 1 Terabyte compact flash cards for less than a buck and so on and so for.

  7. Re:Why is there a charge at all? on MPEG 4, Windows Media 9 At War · · Score: 1

    MPEG 4 is only an algorithm that has taken years of human hours of R&D put into it. Who is going to pay for that?

  8. Re:The real problem... on MPEG 4, Windows Media 9 At War · · Score: 1

    MPEG-4 is a multimedia framework, not a video codec by itself. And MPEG-4 is an ever evolving standard, H26l,H264 or MPEG4 AVC (they are all the same thing) just made it into the standard, and its really good when compared to WMV. IMHO WMA @64kbits sucks when compared to vorbis or MP3@128 kbits.

  9. Re:I'm still faster on Intel Releases "Fastest Chip Ever" · · Score: 1

    It depends on what type of speed your girlfriend is talking about.

  10. Re:SACD quality questionable, DVD-A and LPCM rule. on New Audio Disc Formats and Copyrights · · Score: 1

    You dont have a clue about what you are talking about.
    Get some info about delta-sigma modulators please.

  11. My 8 megs work fine... on Graphics Memory Sizes Compared: How Much Is Enough? · · Score: 1

    I have an ATI Mobility M3 in my laptop and its 8 megs seem to be more than fine. Of course I'm not doing 3D, so I guess that's why I don't need more memory.

    Does everybody else do 3D?
