AMD still have the lead when it comes to performance
And even more so when it comes to VALUE. Intel just seems to have a problem making the P4 fast but not expensive. I suspect they just need to toss it and come up with a completely new design. Like Pentium M, only better.
Basically, we took one of our superchips that go into superservers, with a gitastic cache and frontside bus, stripped it down a bit so we don't cut into our own market, and gave it a new name. Isn't that cool?
If mp3 disappears, what on earth will all the mp3 PLAYERS be good for? Do you really want to transcode every time you want to listen to something, or buy one of the New, Improved, DRM'd, Extra-Expensive-Cause-It's-New-Tech players?
Ever since I first heard of AAC about 3-4 years ago, I liked it. For once, you could get ~CD quality without doing 256-320 encoding. (I didn't know a thing about OGG at the time.) It was *very* hard to get a hold of any encoders/decoders/players, though, until fairly recently (iTunes, the really good recent versions of FAAD/C).
Today, I still like AAC, and will probably use it more from now on, but my good-quality MP3's will remain with me for a while, and OGG is still good, so I'm going to be a 3-formatter for some time to come.

Maybe this was a beta version?
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these things...
Wait. No, better not.

Just my sqrt(4) cents.
You're new here, aren't you?
Yeah. I just figured out this isn't quite a dupe. Sorry. Unfortunately, I don't think this apology is going to help me any.
A fan would just seem to supply even more pointless overkill.
That's just what I was thinking: this whole setup is probably pretty quiet.
On what continent is this desert located?
Actually, if it's so packed with food, how could it really be called a desert?
Oh. You meant dessert?
Okay. Whatever.
This was just posted 4 days ago. Oops
Wow. How on earth is that a troll? How about this:
There are many single people who drive giant SUV's and never take them off the road, and there are 5-person families who drive Civics.
Would that also be considered a troll?
Please mod parent up, at least a little.
I don't see any mention of Fedora. Do they expect everyone to believe it's the same as Red Hat's commercial distro?
More likely, we Fedora users are just too good for words.

It just looked weird...
Okay, I'll shut up.
Who here also thinks it'd be just as expensive to convert from Linux to Windows?

The bad news is, some people still do believe it...

Years and years of fixing barely-fixable computer problems have given me a great poker face...

MCE doesn't do HD yet, as someone previously stated.
...and dump all the HD goodness I can record right into my PC...

Move along, nothing to see here...
I wonder if it'll hold up...

Perhaps this (and/or other similar projects) will finally force Apple to release OS X for the PC...?
Nahh. They'd probably rather sue than allow their lucrative hardware market to diminish.
Crud.
Negative karma, eh?
