  1. Re:Audacity Rocks on Audacity 1.2.0 Released · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I've spent many long hours working in Peak and in Audacity, and not only is Audacity more stable, but the interface is a whole lot faster and more intuitive.

    and Peak and SoundEdit 16 don't support LADSPA plugins. Audacity does.

    kudos, Dominic et al! along with Samba, LADSPA, and Ardour, your software has been critical in all the recording I've done recently.

    on my audio-editing system, I'm still running 2.4.22 with andrew morton's patches. last time I saw any benchmarks, the 2.4 kernels were outperforming 2.6 kernels on single-processor systems -- is that still true?

    I'd be more than happy to upgrade, if there's a tangible performance advantage... anyone?

  11. Re:Hah! on Microsoft Advises to Type in URLs Rather than Click · · Score: 1
    it's not a problem that's likely to be fixed -- opera is, by design, a memory-heavy web browser. the primary architectural difference between opera and the other leading web browsers is that opera maintains a copy of the *rendered* web page in memory, rather than rendering it on demand (as mozilla/netscape, IE, and konqueror/safari do).

    if you have a lot of memory, and don't run a lot of other stuff in the background, opera may be the browser for you. but if you don't want a browser that consumes vast amounts of memory (with, admittedly, some increases in speed), then you'd best choose something else.

    now, if you *really* want something fast, try elinks. ;-)
