    which is why i use the high priced version, all of the low cost ones have about a 20 foot range, and are thwarted by even the smallest amount of sheetrock or brick, or just end up sounding like crap. the 1 watt transmitters sound better then the best radio station in your city, throughout even the largest homes..

    Except microsoft thought of that, the drm'd file can specify that only "microsoft signed" drivers can be used to play the song. Good luck brute forcing the signature on a driver.

  5. Re:How much? on Data Mining Goes 3D · · Score: 1

    Just because Sandia is primarily funded by the United States government, does not impart that this particular project is. The private sector also has a significant interest in Sandia, especially Lockheed-Martin.

    So save what "you know" for what you really know.

  8. Re:Compared to Windows on Is the Linux Desktop Getting Heavier and Slower? · · Score: 1, Troll

    In my experience, Win2k isn't terrible with 128M, but its far from ideal, XP on the other hand is unusable on machines with 256 mb without significant tweaking. Same goes for Linux.

    If you want to run an os on a machine from 2000, use an OS from 2000.. how hard is that to grasp?

  13. Emusic on Real Launches Music Download Service · · Score: 1

    All these new online music services are great and all... but I'll stick with EMusic, 10 bux a month, unlimited downloads of non DRM encumbered Lame --alt-preset standard encoded VBR mp3's that play on my mp3 player and can be burned to cds. Tons of good music in every genre known to the ear. No, they don't have all of the latest popular music, but they do have tons of lesser known but fantastic albums.

    I at least suggest you use their free trial.., and no I dont work for them, I am just really freakin impressed with their service.

  14. Re:802.11g is still going to suck. on Apple Clarifies 802.11g Controversy · · Score: 1

    Except that there are no licensees of the 2.4 and 5 ghz spectrum ranges... they are unlicensed spectrums, and the 5 ghz spectrum is not "just for 802.11a or wireless networking technologies"

    Yes, right now the 5 ghz range has less using it, but rest assured that will change, because everyone "knows" more ghz means better!

    Except when it doesnt. 5 ghz is a higher frequency, thus offers lower penetration through walls and other line of sight obstacles. Which is the major reason we all use wireless technologies- so we dont have to drill holes through our walls and run cables through them.

    802.11a is a mixed blessing. It doesnt collide with 802.11[b|g], but it does collide with the studs, pipes, conduit, drywall, and insulation in your walls a lot easier.
