  1. Re:Time warp on The Fracturing of the Internet · · Score: 1

    In about 25% of the world, both articles were in fact posted on two different days. So what are you complaining about? ;)

  2. Re:Hot off the presses on GNOME 2.12 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm using (mostly) Ubuntu Hoary together with the libc packages from Debian Sarge, this has been working very well so far. It makes installing packages from Debian stable / testing much easier. Of course there a several other dependency problems as well, as Hoary was released somewhat earlier than Sarge. But if everything else fails, you can in most cases still download the source packages from Debian an build them yourself, which thanks to dpkg-buildpackage an friends, is not much of a hassle either.

  3. Re:Slightly OT on Ogg Vorbis Share Reaches 12.3% on P2P Traffic · · Score: 1

    The problem is that in xmms the equalizer is implemented on the decoder level (and that makes sense, I guess). Last time I tried, only the mp3 input plugin used the equalizer settings. Even wavs and audio CDs didn't...

    You might want to take a look at this project though...

  4. open source *or* commercial? on Developer Site CodeZoo Launches · · Score: 2, Insightful
    whether you are an open source or commercial developer
    Since when is that mutually exclusive?

    I'm a Debian user, you insensitive clod!

  6. Re:AdBlock on Firefox Users Bad For Advertisers · · Score: 0

    Does it make any difference for the site/advertiser whether I block ads altogether, or simply don't click on them?

    I never ever clicked on ads, even when they were not blocked.

  7. Re:Uh... near CD quality? on Emusic Relaunches - Cheap, DRM-Free Downloads · · Score: 0

    You're mistaking bitrate for quality... Sure, 192 kbps is by no means CD quality. But on anything but a very good/expensive hifi system, you'll most likely not be able to tell the difference between an CD and a 192 kbps mp3.

    The reason that most (all?) mp3 encoders won't do more that 320 kbps is that it simply doesn't make sense. A higher bitrate just wouldn't make any difference... If you need true CD quality, you would't want to use mp3 or any other lossy audio compression anyway...

  8. Pirated? on Is That Pirated Software? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    1W0UL DN3V3 RP1R4 T3W1N D0W51

    Hmmm, as far as I can tell my license key is genuine. Pirated? No way!

  9. Re:Problems in Firefox.. on Bush vs. Kerry on Science · · Score: 1

    Works for me... With Firefox 0.9.3 and Flash 7.0 r25, both from Debian unstable...

    In Soviet Russia, Beowulf Cluster imagines you!

  11. Re:Debian on X.org X11 Server Release 6.8 · · Score: 1

    Damn, that was my first thought, too. And you mod this as funny? You're so invidious ;)
