If the iCHIP works like the ones in TVs, where the user may choose to enable it and set it to block certain content, i'm not sure what the issue is. I would assume that this would be configured in at the BIOS level. so the OS doesn't have access to change it, making which OS you are running a bit of a mute point.
Well most of them did their build outs with government money. So it's not their policies, simply that endpoints must all be given equal QoS. No slowing down hulu and having netflix pay for better speeds. etc etc. Not about curtailing all of their policies. You are right about it really only being an issue because local governments have made deals. Most of these deals though were to get coverage for the whole city, and not just a few apartment buildings, or the downtown areas. The deals tend to read "you get to be the only provider in ${TOWN}, but you have to cover every residence and business in town, now and in the future"
what free market in ISPs? most got tax money to build out infrastructure, and no the "free market" hasn't been working well, at least not here in Minneapolis. I have 2 infrastructure providers. I have to pay qwest or comcast. If i go with comcast i pay them both for the line and as the ISP. If i go with qwest and want the "bundle rate"(about half of the non bundle) i pay MSN as an ISP. Granted apart from speed to cost ratio, I've been very very happy with my DSL from qwest/MSN.
So yes, the government already had it's "grubby hands" on your internet, and phone, and food, and water, and electric, and and and.

yep, i want my yard dug up by 300 ISPs all stinging fiber, and cutting each others cables. I'd much rather the city/state/feds own the actual fiber/copper in the ground/lines and lease bandwidth to any one that wants to be a ISP. All the government has to do than is hook up my end point to the ISPs endpoint in a box somewhere upstream of me.
only reason i disagree with you is i have 2 devices at home that will play mkv's, both are computers(PCs running vlc/mplayer). All of my portables and other devices(most importantly my ps3) won't play anything inside a mkv even if it is a compatible video/audio stream. Also i've had no luck doing "ffmpeg -i dumb.mkv -ac copy -vc copy useful.mp4". I always get some sort of error, about not being able to pack the h264 video into the mp4. I haven't tried, ripping them out, and then using mp4box, or ffmpeg to put them back together.
If you aren't buying a OEM copy, how much is Win7 home premium? So i'm not sure if i qualify as a OEM when building my on computer not for sale. So to be 100% legal, Newegg has http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116716 Win7 home premium full, 179.99 which is $20 off the normal price. I'm not sure about the requirements to be in full compliance with the OEM license, but i do know that if i install gentoo/ubuntu/fedora/suse i'll be in compliance with the license.
why's that? dual core is nice even for that, so that you can run a flash app(farmville) and skype at the same time. simply unloading system processes to the second core is a huge gain in the way the system feels.
Normally i'm doing dvd some progressive, some interlaced/telecine'ed content, some of it is interlaced, most isn't. I was under the impression that -deinterlace didn't do anything if the content wasn't interlaced. I'll look into the -top option. The full python code can be found at, http://github.com/cynyr/ps3enc It is a huge mess i know.
I rip h.264(libx264 level 4.1 high profile), with ACC 5.1 and 2.0(muxed properly combine left front/rear, split center) sound in a mpeg4 container. because that is what my ps3 will play back. i use ffmpeg's -cfq setting.
sry but I don't know enough about directionality and frequency of that RF to know if it will or will not cause harm. Could you also link a study showing that RF like that from a cell phone at cell phone type levels causes harm? peer reviewed and collaborated would be preferred.
except that location and direction of that RF is important as well. So while A may produce more, it's at a different frequency, and in a different direction than B. B is pointed at the users head and produces RF that actually makes it past the skin, making B more dangerous in real usage.
Also the much softer bumpers(you know the ones that break when you back into a shopping cart and cost 3k to replace?), as well as the move to much larger flatter front ends(worse aero but hey it's safer).
Since it seems like Moore's law has hit the ceiling at 3 GHz CPU speeds, all progress in performance for the foreseeable future will come from increasing the number of CPUs and cores working together.
Slashdot Mirror
find a full size 5.25" bay in a SFF case will you? like the SG05/SG06. or similar volume.
start ripping your bluray movings, or simply stream dumping them. Now when 4k2k video starts being common think blueray x4, now is a TB drive enough?
lol, cd's were converted by me long ago, and i'm not 99% the way though my dvds. Down with shiny plastic disks!
all of this is solved by finding a tracker with seeding/ratio requirements.

Still makes their $200 pc a $300 pc and you still then need to get an AV package :P

seems like someone has a ps3. I'm doing the same thing to my dvd collection.
analog out a high end sound card, into some single channel amps into some nice speakers.

The above gets generated with a lengthy python script that i'm till slowly working bugs out of.

of course anyone ridding a bicycle must be a yuppie? or a bum? /sarcasm

I'd run gentoo on it but I run gentoo on everything, including my dead badger ( http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040405/badger.shtml ) http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-ppc.xml
no no, thats ARM and LEG...
Since it seems like Moore's law has hit the ceiling at 3 GHz CPU speeds, all progress in performance for the foreseeable future will come from increasing the number of CPUs and cores working together.
POWER7 Would like to have a word with you. min speed in 3ghz. to 4.1ghz. POWER6 will go to 5.0GHz, and in the lab 6 GHz. You are right though, X86/x86-64 seems to not gain much speed when above 3.0ghz. That could also just be a side effect of slow IO as well.
