You can't make people understand Mhz hoax that way. Lets tell a different thing. I worked at TV.
Sony DFS-500 is kinda standard fx thing. In that thing, you can make live pictures form a "ball" with all the correct shades/lighting and bounce it. Same time you can add 10s of other fx. Those things are done REALTIME in BROADCAST quality.
Those Cray machines hardly pass 500 Mhz per CPU.
Sony PS/2 is 300Mhz 128bit RISC.
The processor in your cell phone, which does voice recognition is 36Mhz on some machines with DSP support.
Also... ITS A SET TOP BOX damned, it a consumer product. If it doesn't do that job right, you can RETURN it saying it doesn't work.
Now if someone said Quake III benchmarks on that thing... *g*
Hm pretty insightful comment but... Let me say this. I run United Devices/Intel cancer research ( http://www.intel.com/cure ) 24/7 (when system is on) for 1 year.
It started with 500 Mhz P3 with 196 mb of RAM and Windows 2000 monster running.
The only side effect is memory usage. It uses 20MB of RAM when it crunches, last time I was about to uninstall that than I thought the memory usage of ICQ, MSN messanger etc and it stayed.
Let me check for you again, no... It doesn'T effect IE launch time or something, even merely effects 3d fps games (well, as I said, I unload because of mem usage).
It uses IDLE CPU cycles. Of course, UD pros can explain you better, check www.ud.com faq's for more info.
BTW, if Gateway contributed to such "good will" project, like Cancer of Folding@home with that, it would be a great, amazing PR for them.
problems is , guys have never been spyware. They have never sent your private info to servers etc.
Steve Gibson (the nanoprobe guy) tells its spyware, because it sends your system info to real when you are a _registered customer_ (not user) and click "help"
Well, hard to mention on slashdot, being anti-real is a tradition here while "others" (wmedia, apple etc) didn't even care to code a native app for *nix.. Anyways
Thats a joke right? Or you are a troll? Or you need eyeglasses?
http://www.realnetworks.com/company/press/releas es/2002/keylab_rv9.html --> That is a press release
Or go ask anyone (dozens of millions of them) why they chose to download Realplayer while "free" wmedia exists on their system.
Oh also, I want to view video on my Nokia 7650, only Realplayer supports it, soon.
Where is multi platform support for Windows Media? Lets say, they did it... Where is multi platform support for the intended audience?
Slashdot, please stop posting Real headlines to frontpage. Guy speaks about a major breakthrough on media serving, for us, media workers, damn article is filled with spyware shouters etc.
Are you sure this is a great idea to post such news to Slashdot which is the lovely platform of 1000s of clueless calling your product "spyware"?
As a end user using Realplayer on all platforms I use, I already got fed up, I really wonder how people actually coding software, providing free of charge to *nix community feels?
ps: to read this comment you should browse at -1, just a feeling;-)
Well, hard to explain that probably WinXP dual booter loving windows media.
No need to reply though, those "anti real" karma whores are everywhere. When you call Real spyware, you are 133t:)
I am waiting for the day MS directly links windows media to winxp etc kernel, UNDOCUMENTED and those WineX ones left in cold.
Its real funny that Real is called spyware at once, while its more funny that those people seems never installed *nix realplayer, which is completely standalone product...
OMG, my browser sends my screen resolution, it must be spyware! endings this comment..;-)
Thanks for providing that info, but there is a obvious white balance problem on that movie.
Oh, a TV pro can grab a realtime colour corrector and view the movie with some tweak, its that easy to fix. But if you produce/sell 100.000 DVDs, its kinda hard:)
Slashdot Mirror
OK, just think as Netscape that Mozilla isn'T an end user browser.
:) lol
Where is Opera?
Its less fun than its true...
Someone check Google's supporters at start? Being Linux/Beowulf based doesn't illumunate the darkness of the start.
C I A ?
All I have to say.
No its a Internet search engine and you don't need to be that fanatical about them
We , Turkey (republic of) had a satellite, the first Turksat.
A girlfriend told me "its french, it can't go up" to me and yes, god damn satellite fucked up.
She told as a joke but, see what happens now.
for ones moderating it as joke. Nah, its not a joke.

Wendy Goldman Rohm (Wired) wrote it. As a turkish, it was one of the few books I bought in English.
The memory need war is real interesting. Also just the time a RAM factory burns? more interesting...
I heard IE 7 will come with popup blocking but will be default to OFF for keeping relations with AD-Companies good.
... anyway, lets see :)
;-)
Keep this in mind, I guess they will somehow make it passport
I am a registered Opera 7 user, I'd care less
grammar nazis even check latin? omg, phear.
,-)
It was a JOKE man
bah, forgot to add it, sleepless... Yes, it does all those professional work with 133mhz processor.

This is nothing, I saw a guy comparing a SGI to a "whopping 2Ghz" Dell... On Mhz speed of course.
Damn Mhz just doesn't go away.
I am just a user but I am happy that UD won another big agreement.
What I think is, whats good for UD, is good for ongoing cancer project I contribute for year. ( http://www.intel.com/cancer ).
It would also give you a clue the amount of PR you made with this project. Er, I bet you already know.

well same here, that +2 shows you have good karma already...
So how much did you get paid by microsoft to bitch about Real format?
a program stealing info from another program (like IE's current_url=) and send to servers without your grant.
Does real fit it? Your browser sends info too, it also sends http_referer (if not blocked on ns or opera) too.
Or screen resolution, with a single jscript query you can read guys resolution.
IMHO that Real spyware issues are coming from paid guys AND the innocent ones tricked by them.

Guys, I apreciate your work but you are truely amazing.
Why didn't you give away
I know lol... JAPANESE , don't sue him, he just pasted some info!
hehe you should have heard the jerks sueing MCDonalds because it made them fat, or "they didn't know coffee was hot", it sounds like that to me.
Hmm, when did japanese start this style of lameness?
Thanks for providing that info, but there is a obvious white balance problem on that movie.

Subtitles are done in DVD player, not the movie. So, movie is defective, subtitles not, they can't be anyway.
I don't know the DVD format much, it must be some sort of TIF on seperate data channel, or unicode text.
btw, I hope they didn't use analogue stuff for remastering the DVD, if its the reason, like low red signal, it would be real funny.
Can it be the reason why they implemented HDTV at 1980's even? Real interesting point, thanks.
