  1. Re:A great idea on MP3 Player Tax Proposed In Canada · · Score: 1

    Are you actually using iTunes and an iPod and still using MP3 anyway? Or did you just say "MP3" to stay generic? You do know that AAC is better than MP3, right?

  2. Re:GTV on PS3? on I Want My GTV · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe it's another case of Sony (Hardware) vs Sony (Entertainment).

    And if you could block your left and right eyes alternatively at high speeds, you could see in 3D! Think of the possibilities!

    Hell, tell me where to send my 0.01$ to end all this non-sense and force HTML5 video to standardize on H.264

    They'll even make five times the profit by doing so.

    Where else than Digi-Key? With Mouser Electronics, shipping to Canada is much higher than with Digi-Key.

    Where do you buy parts, Mr. Smarty Pants?

    But, but... the ATmega644P costs 9.28$USD!

    And you can keep your half-sunflower seed ATtiny10, I'd rather use a DIP-8 ATtiny85!

    And your ATtiny10 is actually 1.19$USD, so don't crap on my 2.44$USD ATtiny85. ;)

    You're assuming that torrents equals software. There's a lot of media available via torrents, such as Relics of the Chozo.

    So, what does the connector look like? I bet it's a tentacle of some sort.

  19. Re:It's been done before. on Mario Reduced To 8x8 With Open Source and Arduino · · Score: 1

    To be fair, the NES doesn't have to compute its audio nor its video signals in real-time. And the ATmega644 only has 4KB of RAM, the 64KB of flash memory is for code only.

  20. Interesting things about that list on 25 Years of the .com gTLD · · Score: 1

    Both AMD and Intel are on the list, along with many hardware companies.

    Funny:

    Microsoft thought the internet was a fad and that everybody would use a Microsoft-branded network (can't remember the name, it was similar to Compuserve or something). I remember having to install Trumpet or WinSocket or whatever the name was, just to add TCP/IP to Windows 3.11 so I could browse websites.
