    H.264/AAC is more standard then the hack job that is DivX.

    H.264/AAC works on all platform, on any decent media player.

  3. Re:one suggestion on TV and Movies On YouTube? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh yeah. One site will use Windows Media with DRM (everyone uses Windows Vista, right?), one site will use RealMedia (who uses THAT anymore?!) and another one will use Quicktime with an obscure CODEC that won't even work on intel Macs (or something).

    Forget Flash, Windows Media, Real Media and DivX... Give us non-DRM'ed H.264/AAC video files, not everyone has the bandwidth to stream that stuff in real-time and not everyone wants to be tethered to their computer to be able to watch TV shows and movies.

  4. Re:Score on Twilight Hack Defeats Wii Menu Update 3.3 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The crack had to be updated, so Nintendo's patch did work against the attack (the first).

    If you only count a point when Nintendo resists, than you also only count one point for all the versions of the crack.

    So it's either Nintendo 1, Hackers 2 or Nintendo 0, Hackers 1.

  5. Re:Free energy on DIY Solar Resources? · · Score: 1

    Replying to myself.... it seems that the USB connector itself is becoming a low-power 5V connector (I remember reading something about this a few weeks ago, about asian cellphones or something).

  6. Re:Free energy on DIY Solar Resources? · · Score: 1

    Given that most of the things we have today are DC, wouldn't it make sense to develop a new electricity plug/standard? Or do we just go with the damn huge "cigarette lighter" connector?

    That's what I'm saying. If there's any problem, it probably comes from the management and/or marketing department(s).

  8. That's it, enough lies already on Sandvine CEO Says Internet Monitoring a Necessity · · Score: 1

    Stop with the damn caps and the unknown variables. I want to see an ISP with a basic monthly fee and pay-as-you-transfer rates.

    Exemple: you pay 10$/month for your connection if you do less than 10 GiB of transfers, and you pay 1$ per additionnal 10 GiB.

    You make less than 10 GiB download+upload during the month, you pay 10$. You upload+download for 100 GiB, you pay 19$. Not expensive enough? I have no idea. Change the price per GiB as needed, I have no idea how much ISPs are paying for their bandwidth.

  9. Re:Come on Hotmail! on Hotmail Full Version Incompatible With Firefox 3 · · Score: 1

    The only way I could see this happening is if theres an internal policy to use _only_ IE for browsing (unlikely), or if developers were not allowed to.
    You must be new here.
  10. Re:Drobo! on Best Way To Store Digital Video For 20 Years? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Drobo have built-in data security built-in? At least that's what I understood from their video.

    It also seems to make things simpler when it's time to upgrade the storage capacity.

    Your Mac mini is NOT powerful enough (and neither is mine):

    Where are those requirements? We get a "download editor" link, then on the download page we get a direct link to the editor with no mention of what is required, other than Windows or Mac.
