  1. Re:Why would audiophiles be concerned about TVs? on Wireless HDMI Prototype Announced · · Score: 1

    HDMI transfers audio as well as video.

  2. Re:Not really HDMI on Wireless HDMI Prototype Announced · · Score: 1

    8-channel actually (I guess that would mean 7.1 is supported; who would get 8.0?).

  3. Re:Not really HDMI on Wireless HDMI Prototype Announced · · Score: 1

    Exactly! There was nothing wrong with DVI (or dual-DVI sometimes...) and S/PDIF (fibre optic audio); they had to go and mix the standards with a bit of DRM koolaid...

  4. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong... on Download From Microsoft Without a WGA Check · · Score: 1

    Uh, maybe he doesn't have an account here? Just a thought...

  5. Re:RC1? on Early Testers Say Vista RC1 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    A better description would be that a release candidate is a build that can just be put through strip if no major bugs are found.

  6. Re:My Perception Has Changed Again on Hardware Hacking a Voting Machine in 4 Minutes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But we as the American taxpayers pay for it, so we are the customers.

    Touché.

  8. Re:I've wondered about Debian on Debian Kicks Jörg Schilling · · Score: 1

    Well, just ask Microsoft; they're pretty good at it.

  9. Re:I hate this "school" of thought. on Podcasts of University Lectures? · · Score: 1
    In LaTeX (math mode), that's:
    \int_10^13 2x dx = ?

    Which would be "the integral from 10 to 13 of 2x with respect to x", which is 69.

    ...no wonder it was on a shirt...

  10. Doesn't this violate the halting problem? on Microsoft Research Builds 'BrowserShield' · · Score: 1

    How can you test code to see if it's malicious without running it first? It's like trying to determine whether or not a program will halt...

  11. Re:I hate this "school" of thought. on Podcasts of University Lectures? · · Score: 1

    You should've used a simple integral or something (like why \int \sin(2x)dx can be \sin^2 x + C).

  12. Re:Hosting on Google Releases Tesseract as Open Source · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure Sourceforge goes through more than .02 seconds of downtime per month...

  13. Re:What! on zCodec Video Codec Is a Trojan · · Score: 1

    Try doing a diff before and after to see what gets installed.

  14. Re:I can identify on You Have Been 'Randomly' Selected? · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's odd. Where's a naked guy going to hide explosives?

    Do you really want to know that?

  15. Re:Freaky coincidence on zCodec Video Codec Is a Trojan · · Score: 1

    4.2.2.2 is one of Verizon's DNS addresses, and besides being easy to remember, it's pretty reliable (at least far more reliable than Comcast's).

  16. Re: Therms!! Hooray! on zCodec Video Codec Is a Trojan · · Score: 1

    They obviously outsourced their web design.

  17. Re:GPL incompatable now means not free? on Debian Kicks Jörg Schilling · · Score: 1

    I think the problem is that cdrtools was GPL-licenced, and continuing to contribute to that project with a GPL-incompatible licence screws up the whole legality of the copyrights in the software.

  18. Re:I've wondered about Debian on Debian Kicks Jörg Schilling · · Score: 4, Informative
  19. Re:I've wondered about Debian on Debian Kicks Jörg Schilling · · Score: 1

    The more interesting question is how long will it take for the GPLv3 to make it in Debian Stable.

  20. Re:Oh, the usual on What's in Your HTML Toolbox? · · Score: 1

    What the fuck are you smoking? em and strong are semantic tags (emphasis and strong text), so they're here to stay. b and i are gone because they were just presentational.

    bbc.co.uk uses an assload of bandwidth, and they surely aren't based in Silicon Valley.

    And if all of a sudden more people started showing up for their flights, airline companies would either decrease their overbooking, use larger planes, or just die and let another company take its place.

    Besides, the overbooking done for airplanes is no where near as bad as the "overbooking" of broadband subscribers.

  25. Re:What broadband providers need to do on Net Neutrality Is Just "Mumbo Jumbo" · · Score: 1

    We (the taxpayers) already paid them billions of dollars to give us fibre to the home (I think it was about OC1 for every house). They still haven't done it, yet they bitch that they can't even afford what little they provide to us in the first place.
