bitrate peeling = multiple streams at different quality from one source file. You could implement a power-saving mode in a portable with that. Or fit a lower-bitrate playlist (longer play) onto space-constrained solid state players from a high quality archive without re-encoding.
at bitrate/quality, computational complexity, and algorithmic approach.
OGG is AAC for free with the additional benefit of a lightweight decoder and bitrate peeling. It's perfect for portables. It's a shame it didn't get popular sooner.

when I read buried way down in the Solaris 9 12/02 release notes that they'd be FINALLY supporting md5 password crypts.
And in typical Sun style, they created a new plugin architecture to support it. There are all of two useful plugins (the standard crypt is built into libc)...::eye roll::
The transactions occur across a much faster interconnect (which can go by different names according to the chipset design), but it's still linear and you still access resources in a PCI-like manner. Just faster.
The first tried to hard to explain things (with huge fallacies). The second was edited in all sorts of wrong ways and suffered from taking-itself-too-seriously-itis.
Haven't seen the third, but I imagine it has parts of the problems in 1 and 2.
The critics who are lambasting it "got it". It'd be a shame if they didn't. After you pull away all that pseudo-intellectual bullshit, they didn't like what they saw, and knew that the stroy deserved a better treatment.
I know you say you hate everyone. But I was noticing that you seem to reply to my posts occaisionally, and I just wanted to give you a hug. This indicated by the Blue Bubble next to my name.
Don't you KNOW that guy is a serial troll? THAT'S WHAT THE POSTING HISTORY IS FOR!!! Did it ever occur to you know that people post things that are just designed to get idiots like you to waste time typing out angry responses because you got beat up at school and never got back at bullies... but it's okay, you're on the Internet. You're TEACHING him.
Watch 2 episodes of Excel Saga, and call me in the morning.
If you see yellow spots, then you should be watching Friends instead.
If you laughed yourself to sleep, suffered from insomnia, or threw up, then I can recommend a regimen of shows depending on your follow-up.
Really, most all of it is no better than the crap some might call "real shows" on HBO, NBC, FOX, Sci-Fi, UPN, etc. - drivel pumped into primetime that won't hold your attention until you get accustomed to it. Except it's animated, and not tied to a Mattel product line. Remember the first time you saw Law and Order and thought it was boring? Remember how you now can't stop watching it on TNT?
The freaks who buy Anime at Best Buy are just that, freaks. Everybody who shops at Best Buy are freaks. Even the people that choose to work in that hellhole. God damn that place makes me want to punch everyone in the face.
Yeah, right. And ADV usually does a reasonably good job at that kind of thing. Very frustrating (I've hired my own translator, who's typing at this very moment, say hi to the nice people, SLAVE)
::aidez-moi!!::
And Mirimax? Let's just say they piss everywhere except the beer mug.
For the person who is content to walk around Best Buy and pick something off the shelf by comparing packaging, I suppose Windows is the best OS for them in the first place.
I've tended to find good value for money and linux compatibility go hand and hand. I suspect this is because linux driver developers are end users, but probably with better taste than most.:-)
No one has been working on RedHat PPC since 5.x. So, CLEARLY, if you were at one point considering RedHat in the last 3 years, your only option for a desktop OS that isn't Linux is Windows.
Digital Cameras/Scanners... you know it's going to work if you don't buy something that's a cheap piece of shit, which, believe it or not, will suck A WHOLE LOT compared to something 25% more expensive.
I see that pattern _all_ _the_ _time_.
That more expensive thing will not only be more than marginally useful, but will actually work well with linux since it uses a real interoperability standard and not some hacked-together-protocol-that-really-belongs-on-a- parallel-port interface designed by Hajii and Apu.
Cameras - If you get one with a REAL optical zoom, almost guaranteed it speaks PTP or is a USB mass storage device in disguise, so there's no issue.
Scanners - If it's not made of plastic, it will be supported by SANE.
Printer combos - Same thing. The box should be pretty heavy, and say Hewlett Packard on it.
Need I go on?
It's almost like Linux picks the quality/value hardware for you! (MacOSX is "guilty" of this too). That's a feature. Joe Sixpack could appreciate that.
The only thing they have going for it is T&A, esp. the shaking ones during intense fights. This concept works as a game because there aren't real actresses playing the parts.
No actress that is of the "caliber" to be a DoA stand-in would subject herself to that level of fan-service. All three Charlie's Angels would have to go under the knife first. It could only be a good film if it WASN'T rated PG13 and actually was violent or pornographic.
Sadly, it will be neither of things, nor can it be tongue-in-cheek unless they really scrape the bottom of the talent barrel, which no one wants to see.
Unless a firm and mildly interesting plot manifests itself. Even then, what's the point... why call it DoA? Reminds me of that "Pirates of the Carribean" game disaster. Just drop the name, save a little money, if you aren't going to "do it right".
Slashdot Mirror
We have one of those 4-port DVI KVMs (F1DD104U) and I have to tell you, we've gone through at least 3 RMAs on it.
The first DVI port DOES NOT WORK at resolutions above 1024x768. On any of them.
The LCD goes absolutely fucknuts when connected to it.
It's sad. All of ours are being used 3x1 because of it.
Let's face it, Belkin sucks. Cables are way overpriced. Don't ever buy anything from them.
It'd be better if it was Obi-wan Canblowme.

Awwwww...
Now isn't that better? I think slashdot could use a little less edge is all.
The transactions occur across a much faster interconnect (which can go by different names according to the chipset design), but it's still linear and you still access resources in a PCI-like manner. Just faster.
The only bus that was different was ISA.
Most kids see linux as "not Microsoft", and hence, some kind of counter culture.
And as far Unix goes, behind OSX it's the most progressive one out there. Others (HP, Sun, SCO) look at it and scoff.
Techies are just a new kind of artistan or guild. We'll learn to deal.

THAT's why it's getting poor reviews.

Oh, I'm sorry, I meant:

I almost wished that they actually DID do a musical. It'd put it right up there with the Drew Carey Show.
(sigh) Drew, you sure can move...
Naughty, naughty. I thought we fixed that when we made your system Y2K compliant. Well, here's your ticket number:
box box box box 901 box 3394 (illegible)
that make me be ashamed to read Slashdot.

Are you trying to compensate by picking on my fans?
Shame on you. Troll or not, shame on you.

We can thank George Lucas for putting the right weight on the term in recent years.
