  1. Re:MP3 for Audiophiles?? on Visual Analysis Of Mp3 Encoders · · Score: 1

    I know one who thinks like that. He has all his classical music records on HQ mag tape, a huge amp with russian tubes and TONS of EM shielding between everything. I laughed at him until he played the same tune off analog source, cd and 128kbps mp3. He is right - this digital crap is no match for the analog one.

  14. Re:If Linux works with crap, that's all IT will gi on Patch To Allow Linux To Use Defective DIMMs · · Score: 1

    > The only improvement that I can see is if it could add additional addresses to map out "on the fly" as they are found to be bad during operation.
    HP (HPPA) machines do this. But it's done with a combination of the kernel and the hardware/firmware. If a page is found to be faulty is noted on the PDT (Page Dealocation Table) and removed from use if possible (if it was previously user by the kernel the machine will dump core - if not it will just spit horrible errors). The PDT is stored in a flash and has 50 entries and it will be cleared when a memory is changed.

    And this is done on big, expensive, production servers - Linux should addopt this as this really works (the PDT machanism kept one of my HP servers stable with a bad 512mb mem module until i could shut it down)

  17. Re:Daemon v. Penguin Wars... on A Devil Of A BSDCon · · Score: 1

    BSD is now a server OS and Linux a workstation one. Alltrough both stride to become both.

    I'd wish a linux with all the bsd's features or the other way around. And i'd wish a BSD kernel/distro with all the features from all the BSD's. example: I had to install linux instead of freebsd on a machine because fbsd doesn't support (in a stable release) IDE cdwritters. I had to install netbsd instead of freebsd on a small home server because freebsd does no support sowtware IDE hdd spindown (a netbsd atactl port someone ?). I used OpenBSD instead of linux on another machine for security reasons.

    I just want a Debian packaged distro of an os that supports everything linux does - has the openbsd's security - frebsd's speed - netbsd's small size - macosx's cool interface and runs on cheap intel hardware. Or "the right tool for the right job" approach is better ?
