  1. low bitstreams not so bad on Low-bandwidth Net Radio · · Score: 2, Interesting

    net radio is not bad at all, and this codec looks to take it to the next level. when you're just casually listening, a 56kbps stream does a decent job of giving you what you want to listen to. I find that pretty impressive. i've listened to 56-96 kbps streams, and while not perfect, its virtually as good as analog radio, depending on the music type. anything involving distortion will sound fine. I just find it cool that a low bandwidth stream can successfully push out decent audio content.

  2. Re:Will not be able to record HDTV on Mac mini All About Movies? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    so I'm wondering if anyone knows what exactly is the requirement to write an HDTV encoded stream? Lets say I have an HDTV tuner, so CPU is not a factor. What sort of disk throughput needs to go down for this to happen?

  4. also available on MSDN on Windows XP SP2 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    so, uh, whats the difference between this WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe download and the en_winxp_sp2.iso available on MSDN?
    is it just the XPSP2.EXE file from that image?

    The iso was posted this morning (8/6/2004 8:57:00 AM) and weighs in at 475.35MB !!! (just ~10MB shy of the size of the original Windows XP iso)

  6. Re:Good idea that will never work on Ford Testing a New 'Traffic Monitoring' Device · · Score: 1

    In California, they are required to have a photograph of the license plate AND the driver of the vehicle in a situation like running a red light. However, this is because running a red light is a moving violation that counts as a point on your license. If there is some violation that doesn't result in a point on the driver's record, then it would not require the photo of the driver.

    look for widescreen LCDs, or 16:9...

    for instance:
    Samsung 172W

    granted it won't do 1920x1200, but its the right AR, at 1280x768...
