My understanding of the advantage of HD-DVD is that is uses an advanced codec as standard with significantly better compression than MPEG2 and better audio encoding.
Though I applaud that effort, as a movie pirate I still dream of the day I can fit all my movies on one disk, and for the I need more size!
Sure how about OGG Vorbis uses 3 to 5 times the system resources to encode and decode?
Hardware decoding is behind?
I'm all for saving 2-3% more HDD space but realistically you'd have to replace all your devices and keep an mp3 chip in all future devices anyway.
If you're going to have spare cycles sure support the slower standard, but there isn't really a HUGE need.
Other encodes need to hit the mainstream far more, like XViD, it's absurd we're using disks encoded in mpg2, that's like encoding it in WAV.
You could fit a DVD on a cd if you used proffessional level encoding, yea you need a more powerful decoding box (p2 300 instead of p1 166 level).
But hardware decoding costs which you need anyway are minimally higher.
Open source missed the music revolution, and right now it's missing the video revolution, and video is going to become stagnant as soon as Nero or Microsoft's standards h.264 or WMA(4 or whatever) start hitting Blue ray players.
That's really unbelievably bad, though it's true most of them are just messing with code because they aren't sure it'll work it's still a pretty terrible thing to do.
Fraud is just a change in perspective about the value of other people, in relation to the perpetrators own value of course.
Think of it like bombing people for no reason vs bombing them in a war.
The law does account for these things, recently the perspective of the individual has become more feared as society takes on some pretty ugly shapes.
Thus the ignorance or political motivation of Virus writters is now ignored and they can be punished as though they wrote virii out of hate.
The problems with 3DMark is many fold, it uses a very similar engine for all it's gaming performance.
It get's rid of certain aspects of graphics overhead that create huge performance hits in real games.
They have been using new techniques which are moderated in real games to keep fps rates reasonable, things that aren't moderated like polygon count, Anisotropic filtering, OpenGl vs DirectX issues etc need to be their focus instead.
If they hadn't patented it, it still would have taken them a while to produce a copy and the media furor over these clone companies would serve as advertising for the original.
Let's say it takes 2 years to start a company and clone the product to a sellable level, that's a pretty reasonable amount but a HUGE advantage technically, in mind share, and should be more than enough time to inovate on the old design.
If you downloaded Gibson E=Books from Nullus you'd know he premises them with a personal note to downloaders.
He does support illegal download to a pretty large extent.
This is pissing me off THERE ARE LOTS OF ARTISTS WHO DO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF FREE INFORMATION!
So many people making terrible generalizations, yea all artists are hypocrites.
Also as far as Gibson is concerned it doesn't matter whether he types on a computer or a typewriter, Slashdot's perverse love of technology is an aberration not the norm, and not adhering to such a silly ideal probably offers him more perspective not less.
We have been informed that you can't install drivers, play games, get your sound to work, or really use your computer at all, additionally your complaints about the difficulties of the first graders to use the command line is very powerful...

That eventually we would move to a audio interface...
Most of the information we have conveyed to us comes through as text except for images and movie files.
Images can be described for an audio interface.
Plus it would be far easier to carry around, ubiqutous and not offensive to others, just the ability to record everything that is said around me as searchable text which I can somehow highlight would be increadibly valuable, my lectures... suddenly they could be.txt files which I could listen to at my leasure and speed preference while taking the bus home.
All e-mail etc could be read to you.
Plus for mobile computing it would have the simplest interchangeable link and be secure at the same time (through voice recognition).

How can they detect people behind nats?
Many ISP's never give their users even the illusion of an I.P. so they would be totally hidden.
I just don't think it's possible... isp numbers might be interesting for themselves but I really think this is something that won't be possible.
China has shut down only 1/1000th of the sites the U.S. has shut down with anti piracy anti hacking and other directives.
Remember that American corperations are subsidary branches of your government.
China would probably be better able to not police the internet then the U.S. with millions of little companies getting upset about anything.

Perhaps your idealism that racism is a product of the west is a nice place to live but it seems to me quite misguided.
Since all of us have AIDS and enjoy raping japanese youths, you won't live long enough to enjoy the close company of many Japanese.
May I enquire if you have been there?
Based on an ideal such as the American "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness",
But the Canadian slogan "Peace, order and good government." Doesn't ensure any such bullshite.
These people are sick not antisocial.
Well you could look up entrapment. But the rape comment is on all kinds of billboards so maybe thats right?
Contradiction in advertising insanity ensuing.
It's about perspective.

But there is another company howling for their blood and ready to replace Intel with a more ethical approach.
:P
AMD will probbaly be sued into oblivion
lol
I strongly condemn this arrrrttititititiclelelelelele.
The Palm V or Tungstens are totally Amazing, if they had wifi, and skype they would be unbeatable.
One word, bookwarez.
Yea but Nvidia shit all over image quality to do it.
ATI and Nvidia both target major games to offer good performance, it's just that doing it to a benchmark is shady.

I agree that's got to be the saddest most tragic thing the U.S. has done in a while....
Other countries are still assisting Nasa for some reason...
This analysis is totally correct, the people who did the analysis are brilliant, here's why.
Teleco's massivly overcharge right?
Then you tax them and you make $180,000 simple!

Don't put, commas in your sentences.

That, you could say, brings on the grammar Nazis

Ah you've never met the staple of EVERY SINGLE JAPANESE TRAIN AND SUBWAY.
The drunk as a skunk businessman.
In Japan they have JR rail, which is basically subways and train service.
Say what you will about big government and socialism but at least it doesn't lead to "vast garages".
