    Grandparent is also off by an order of magnitude 500,000 not 50,000 people on IRC

  2. Re:Hey here's a semi-on-topic question on CDs May be Less Immortal than We Thought · · Score: 1

    Mask ROM, no crappy FLASH ROM stuff, no crappy FLASH RAM stuff. I mean the good old fashioned mask ROM.

    The data on that's not goin' anywhere.

    Don't tell me bit rot, that does not apply to mask ROM, only to the crappy stuff mentioned above.

    Unfortunately the price (25 Grand+ DISCLAIMER: this figure may be way off the mark) may be an issue.

    A dual 6ghz setup would output approx. 363.8... watts of heat according to this algebraic function: f(x)=.03181729473537(x)-17.93687560987 (not a joke, generated by LinReg func on TI-83p)

  6. DVDs ARE NOT IN HD on CableCARDs and HDTV · · Score: 1

    DVDs ARE NOT IN HD they are in EDTV 640 lines, not 1152 lines.

  7. HDTV is MUCH BETTER on CableCARDs and HDTV · · Score: 1

    I would like to dispell any myths of EDTV being anywhere near the quality of HDTV. Firstly EDTV is only 640 lines (the same as normal television) whereas HDTV can be either 780 lines progressive or 1184 lines interlaced. EDTV uses 3Mbps whereas HDTV uses 11Mbps. In other words EDTV is only MARGINALLY better than standard television.

  8. Re:Time Warner in Milwaukee on CableCARDs and HDTV · · Score: 1

  10. Re:Blaming the tool again... on LUG Pres Resigns Over Military Linux Use · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's a rather one-sided view, isn't it? Since when has the US had values? And since when has nuclear weapons just been a "deterrant" (misspelled)?

    Just because you personally could work "perfectly ethically" on such a system, does not mean everyone could.

    Are the ideologies of a country which kills innocent civilians for its own citizens' comfort really "worth preserving"?


    "Falllacy" really?

  11. Can a geek appreciate an easy to use UI? on Rapid Application Development with Mozilla · · Score: 1

    I certainly appreciate an easy to use UI. When I want to change networking settings, it seems like everyone here wants me to go to /sbin/ifconfig and type in three or four parameters I have to look up every time. and may require mutiple commands which take more time. In my opinion it is much faster to use a GUI that displays all necessary information in one window!

    YaCBPMPE (Yet another confusion between perpetual motion and perpetual energy). Perpetual Motion is possible, take this example, if you throw a baseball in space, it will keep going, and going, and going, until it hits something. This is perpetual motion.

    However, perputual energy has not been proven possible.
