  1. Re:can you hear me now? on Fraunhofer IIS Demos Full-HD Voice Over LTE On Android · · Score: 1

    Mp4/AAC, of course. Generally that's what people refer to when they talk about mp4 audio. Sort of like how I knew that the guy I responded to was talking about ogg vorbis and not ogg speex or ogg PCM.

    Stock Vorbis does not beat the Apple tuned AAC at any bit rate and of course you don't have to believe the hydrogen audio subjective listening tests unless you want to.

  2. You forgot to reply as an AC.

    Ogg may be better than the ancient mp3 codec but it falls flat compared to mp4.

    You have Stockholm Syndrome something bad.

    He established no groundwork, he just put out a non binding little pithy statement.

    Now, I would be singing a different tune if he had issued an executive order which legally mandated new privacy rules.

    Bush killed more pirates than Obama did, and Bin Laden is not really what you think it was.

  9. You are incredibly naive if you believe Obama here on Obama's Privacy Bill of Rights: Just a Beginning · · Score: -1, Troll

    Our Magic Obama has only announced this non-binding, suggestion based "bill of rights" to get people to think that something is actually being done to protect our privacy.

    What's funny is that the usual group of cheerleaders will say that, hey (as with the Magic Health Care Bill) at least Obama is doing something. I would argue that doing something that's terrible is worse than doing nothing at all.

    Pretty much everybody who's tried Gnome 3 thinks it's a gigantic pile of donkey shit. I can't think of a single person outside either canonical or the Gnome 3 dev team who would waste their time with that garbage.

    Must have touched a nerve, I see. Get back to trying to stump your stupid Neo Freerunner, whatever the hell that is. Sounds Chinese anyway.

    Sure. Remove the free iPhone 3GS, which is about what, 20% of the total iPhones sold, and remove the free-with-plan Android phones, which are what, 92% of Android phones that go out the door.

    Why not?

    And besides, Samsung is only doing well because they are slavishly copying Apple to the point of using the same icons.

  20. Re:Normal users shouldn't install just any program on An Early Look At Mac OS X 10.8 · · Score: 1

    Your theory sounds good but it falls flat when you consider it deeply.

    Who will make the OS X applications, if as you predict they totally lock it down with no way out?

    Also, how is Fedora "more powerful" than OS X? I guess it depends on what you want to do. For me, photography and digital music are big reasons to use a computer, and the current state of the art in open source in both those areas is just terribly embarrassing. Shameful, really.

    I would be interested in hearing what things you can run on Linux that you can not run on OS X (no Wine here, remember I have that on the Mac too). I don't really think it is necessary to list all the software and hardware I can use with my Mac that you can not with Linux.

    Heck they even upgraded 5.6 just a few weeks ago.

    Airport Utility as it stands now is probably more suited for the generic mom that everybody mentions, and I think that's fine.

    Again, though I don't see Apple ever going over to an iOS type interface with no way out for OS X. After all, somebody will have to make the Mac applications...

    Realistically you never need to enter any credit card information in order to get an account and use the App Store. Yes, it sells commercial software but there's an awful lot of free stuff on there too.
