  1. Re:Disk Fragmentation on Measuring Fragmentation in HFS+ · · Score: 1

    also, data recovery should be easier and more sucessful on less fragmented disks.
    So if a part of disk is damaged, only few files would be lost, but if the same space continued parts of many different files, those files would most probably be lost.

  2. Re:OK so it has a nice metal cap on AMD Takes Opteron To 2.4GHz · · Score: 1

    did you count like "0, 1, 2,..." ??
    The last pin might be #939, but there are(at least should be) 940 total pins.

  3. Re:Ouch on the price of the blanks on Upgrade Your DVD Writer to Double Layer -- Maybe · · Score: 1

    Single layer discs are better. Yes, you can fit a gig on a regular cd, but it won't be readable in most drives. Blank dvds now cost about $1.5-2 for better quality (Verbatim 4x blanks are about $1.4 here, and some nonames are as cheap as $0.5). So for now, single layer seems the best choice, and buying two 2500A and screwing one up would be still cheaper than buying one sony DL drive.

  4. Re:Why? on Upgrade Your DVD Writer to Double Layer -- Maybe · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Download it now and wait till the blanks are cheap enough. By then it should be clear if this firmware screws up the drive, or gives reliable results.

    >Why would any self respecting gamer choose to use an Xbox controller...

    Choose?? No, no choice. Microsoft will disable the keyboard and mouse compatibility in the next XP patch.

    No, you upload a picture of Darl, they match it to your ass.

  7. MIPS on ARM Unveils One-chip SMP Multiprocessor Core · · Score: 1

    2600 MIPS is just a bit less than PIII 1GHz.
    Would be nice to have this power in a PDA :)

    Yes it is :) They've got a 98/NT "platform component" here

  9. I know! I know! on Cryptic Code Stumps Experts · · Score: 2, Funny

    It must be an equivalent to TDNMATBICPLY :-D

  10. Re:Not true Origami on The World's First Origami Folding Robot · · Score: 1

    >In the strictest rules of Origami, all folds must be done by hand.

    Uhh why, the robot uses its "hand", so it could be origami. Or at least robogami or something...

  11. Re:VIA vs. VAIO on Via-based Handheld Game Console Runs PC Games · · Score: 1

    VAIO U101 would be even better, IMO. Even smaller than the TR: 1.04 x 1.34 x 5.49, 7.1" screen. 600 MHz celeron, 256-512, mobility radeon. Up to 13 hours with additional battery. Some pics here

    Yes, even this particular project dates back to 2001 (mabye earlier, I didn't RTFA) - scroll down their gallery page.

    >Wouldn't hurt to look! :)

    Unless spotting it includes staring at the sun X-)

  17. Re:ATi on Interview with ATI's soon-to-be CEO Dave Orton · · Score: 1

    Why? Seriously, I hope it's not because of their logo. If we had to type everything just like it's in the logo, how would we for example type Intel? Anyway, check out their about page here. There is at least a dozen of "ATI" and not a single "ATi".

  18. Re:Right. on Interview with ATI's soon-to-be CEO Dave Orton · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah I was also surprised. Last time I checked, Intel had the largest market share at about 33%, then nVidia had 27% and ATI 24%. (VIA and SIS had both about 7-8%). I seriously can't see a way how they could get 50% there.

    shouldn't that be
    d) All of the above :D

  20. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong... on Super MP3 Will Feature User Tracking · · Score: 1

    IANAL, but an email is copyrighted by its author, so theoretically it should be illegal to reproduce it. And I guess some people already have contracts which state that any obtained information can not be shared. This actually seems reasonable, considering that an email from Darl to employees can say something like "ok guys, there is really no SCO code in Linux, but lets pretend there is".

  21. Obligatory (modified) on Legoland Introduces Wi-Fi Tracking for Kids · · Score: 0, Troll

    Bring on the tin-foil gloves!

  22. Re:Skype? on Gaim Forks To Get Voice And Video Support · · Score: 1

    Works fine for me on my 512/128 DSL. NAT doesn't seem to be a problem. But careful, 3-way conferencing sucks out much more bandwidth that I could afford.

  24. Re:Personally... on JPEG Patent Could Impact The Gimp · · Score: 1

    A small experiment.
    Open a 1600x1200 photo.
    Here are the formats and resulting sizes:
    BMP 5.4M
    PNG 2.5M
    JPG 375K (High, 8/12)

    Unless I'm dividing in the wrong direction, JPG is about 7 times smaller then PNG.

  25. Re:Not just DDR on A DIMM Future for RAM Bundles · · Score: 1

    I wanted to buy some more memory for my PII (currently has 382), but 256mb of Kingston SDRAM costs more than 256 megs of (Kingston) CL2 DDR, and MUCH (like 15$) more then CL2.5. This made me want get some ram for my P4 :)
