Well of course! iPod's earphones is the worst of them all. Makes me regret I didn't sell them before I tried them since people will buy them for $10. Also, anything after 2nd generation got this output impedance problem; you'll have huge distortions in the bass with any unamped headphones. Not to mention the bug with high bitrate mp3 in 3rd gens.
There are many reasons, but population is one of them. Another one is that Japanese WILL spend because they can. Remember, producers will make money only because there's a consumer market. Don't have a market, why not create one yourself.
What do you expect with tabbed browsing? Any heavy uses of IE will crash. So even though it crashes every few hours of use (been like that since the first betas), it's still my favorite browser since it's so much easier to use, and so much easier to get back to what I was doing before the crash.
I haven't used the piece myself, but it's known to work, and takes off about half a volt from +15. It's only two capacitors; I can't really justify spending $25.
To the casual listener probably not, Winamp is still much "sleeker" graphically. Of course music player should be more about the sound (Tell that to cell phone companies).
That's where foobar comes in, although its not open source, you basically know how the entire "signal path" goes from the music file out to whereever you go. You can't really say the same thing for any other players (well you can tell, but it's much more difficult).
For example, bet you didn't know most mp3 *clips*, it's just how mp3s encoding do (some samples will go beyond the range of the bitstream "wav" output, thus clip). Foobar lets user deal with the (hard) clipping, either through limiter (soft clips) or something like Replaygain.
Another thing is the common sample rate conversion (44.1k->48k) problem with bad resamplers from AC97 soundcards (AC97 does everything is 48k, most music [CDs] are 44.1k), custom SRC was one of the first things in foobar. They also got things like kernel streaming (as oppose to DirectSound) if your a stickler on bitwise perfect output. Of course now it's grown into so much more.
Most of these stuff most users won't care, or won't know enough to care, but the point is, foobar lets you control the signal path. Any critical listener would tell you the cleanest signal path is the best you can hope for, unless your equipment has known flaws which need major fixups. Check out hydrogenaudio's forum it's hosted on, these guys are major hardcore audio geeks (the "technical, scientific audiophiles").
All I care is that the coder for Foobar is not there anymore, and it's a good thing.

Works fine. I just sent myself some messages in unicode. There doesn't seem to be any problems. I can't imagine why there would be any problem actually.
If movies/CDs were $50, there would be less entertainment, but quality would go up, and the company would make more money. Then others would realize it is a good business and would jump in, lowering price and quality. Just some food for thought.
Right; it's society way of say:
Drive, but don't drink; drink, but don't kill.
Buy, but don't steal; steal, but don't pirate.
I'm glad we got our priorities straight.

Huh? mail addys can not be unicoded. If you're talking about the message, you're not inputting your characters properly.
Why are people so uptight about humor? A lot of game as funny as it is subtle...Like when you can see through the wall when angled exactly right at the corner or FPS, or commentary to some 2nd string player being one of the elites, either planned or not, that's humor.
The Octopus Card system has been implemented in Hong Kong for a few years. It's an alternative to micropayment (cash and change). I don't know much about the Japanese system, but comparing it for credit card to quite a jump.
Slashdot Mirror
I just like to say they have interns even at the justice branch.
I realize the thought of using Flash and Actionscript is considered beneath many Slashdotters I see all flash ads...
You must not have seen the Japanese video of dolphin fishing...It only adds to the term "sea of blood".

You can Paypal it right here.
or NetFront...
The point is Paypal is cheaper than most merchant account. Susceptibility to chargebacks are another issue.

That would be SACD.
Knowledge of sampling theory required
If that's even a job, it'll certainly be at the top.

Sounds like a job for no-pci.

There are actually skins (ok...only 1 worth mentioning), but foo_pilot is pretty cool actually.

Audio softwares are expensive, and only purchased by the richest of all H to the Z. Everyone else downloads their Gigasamplers and VSL DVDs.
The google links are more useful to someone who wants the "best search engine".
That's what they say to cellphone, and that's why we're years behind Japan.

Oh wow...I actually hadn't noticed the ads all these times until I saw this post. There's some feedback for /.
