  1. Re:censor on Universities Developing Internal, Controlled P2P System · · Score: 1

    it was 10baseT, and on campus transfers were pretty fast iirc (the frequent network troubles aside)

    i think they're trying to deploy wireless throughout the campus instead of constantly rewiring everything. they spent a lot of money wiring up every room on campus only to see 100basetx get real cheap, and then wireless goes and takes off. oops.

  3. Re:censor on Universities Developing Internal, Controlled P2P System · · Score: 1

    not all universities are connected to i2. even then, that i2 connection is only super-fast to OTHER i2-connected institutions.

    for example, the dorms at my old school (URI) could get 300k/sec on a transfer from an NYU dorm. however, the connection from the dorms to the rest of the world was a single T1. no good for 5000 students all sharing files.

    (fortunately i lived in a house on the 'academic' network that had 10 t3's shared with other RI colleges)

  5. Re:AIFF==WAV==uncompressed on iPods are for Audiophiles · · Score: 1

    actually, I believe WAV is identical to the Sound Designer II format (the native format of pro tools), not AIFF. or maybe they're just like FSSDs? I forget.

    ANYWAY

    AIFFs can be compressed with MACE (and maybe u-law etc.), but usually aren't, becaus MACE sounds like SHIT. Compressed AIFFs are usually called AIFCs anyway.

    since it's actually the advertiser's money going to the site, i would hold the advertiser responsible. if you buy something from the advertiser, and money from the that sales referral goes to fund the website, then YOUR money has gone to them and thus you are also responsible.

    I was under the impression that Jaguar was investigating a whole bunch of RISC chips.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I remember reading something in Macworld aloooong time ago.

    Basically, Jaguar was supposed to be beyond Macintosh, a business-only type of machine that wasn't even backwards compatible. The case designs were really harsh and geometric.

    Maybe it was the PowerPC team that was trying all different RISC architectures with 68k emulators.
