  1. Re:Perfect solution - IDE disks on Cheap On-Line CD/DVD Storage Library? · · Score: 0

    cheaper than 1 dollar per gigabyte if you dont want 7200 rmp which is fine if you aernt using it much.

  2. Re:I disagree, and here's why on Thoughts on the New Crop of Ogg Aware Players? · · Score: 0

    I have an enormous MP3 collection.... and I reencoded everything as high-bitrate OGGs using GRIP why? they even say on the site youre not going to get better quality out of this, infact youre most likely going to get worse, if you are lucky youll end up with the same quality. going from one lossy compression to another is a bad idea.

  3. Re:Oog Vorbis, a user's account on Thoughts on the New Crop of Ogg Aware Players? · · Score: 0

    people use wma because thats the default ripping for windows media player. if they put a cd in and want to rip it, many people will see the icon that says someting like get music off of cd. (i think) and the only option is wma. unless you want to pay for a software plugin that does mp3 through wmp. if people knew something they might try something like cdex. so i think there are a fair number of people who ripe to wma. but they dont know what that is. they are just happy if it works and they dont need to fiddle with cds.

    developing an OS costs a lot of money too, yet people are doing that for free, a long with a host of other software.

    he may not sleep that much, but you'd be surprised how time you can avoid wasting if you dont play games/ screw around.

    i think it looks pretty cool, but im not into consoles so much, prefer the good old pc. nothing is cheaper for the amount of games that can be found on it. plus the playbility is great. btw im first.

  13. needing ad-aware on Microsoft Offers A Bounty On Virus Writers · · Score: 1

    well widows comes with spyware/ad-aware installed. i know this because i built a computer for a friend and put windows on it, before connecting it to the outside it instaled ad-aware and spybot, and sure enough there was spyware.

  14. Re:I wait until... on Patching Paranoia - How Fast Do You Patch? · · Score: 1

    well, you often dont learn things with out trying it out first, you cant learn how to ride a bike with out try, and geting a liscence for internet would ruin a lot of online business. if people cant keep up their computer, it doesnt hurt other people very often. mostly they get spyware, maybe a virus here or there and thats about the worse that happens, no one dies though. just like if you leave your bike in the rain, it gets rusty, and the chain might break, or if you dont fill up the tires with air, you'll get a flat earlier, but it would be obsurd to issue a liscence to ride a bike.
