Slashdot is so biased against blind people it's ridiculous. Even sighted people can't cope with m many of the captchas used to stop scripts. I put a particularly egregious example in my sig, there was no way to figure that one out.
I've seen a blind guy type over 100wpm, no errors. also, his screen reader sounds like a mad speak&spell on crack, it's so ridiculously fast. Much faster, in fact, than most sighted people can read.
I'm holding off a DivX player purchase until the NeroDigital & DivX formats are both available in the same machine.. so far NeroDigital seems to have the upper hand, and Recode is wickedly fast to encode with.
The big question is: since the DivX format addresses needs that are already completely met by NeroDigital, why should we bother with DivX? The Nero format uses AAC, but nobody knows what Divx needs.
it's free, as anybody with a fast connection knows. Linux costs more to most people, because of the effort of migrating and the huge nuisance of learning totally different crap.
No. That's why it's called an upgrade. It's kinda obvious if you read the article.. this is for people who want to run an operating system that doesn't out-slow molasses.
battery life is also 4 times better than the Sandisk. Get a Samsung Yepp instead, it's cheaper and better and plays Ogg without choking. Exempli gratia.
handbrake is slow, and doesn't encode with the quality I expect from an all-in-one ripping/encoding utility. Try AutoGK (Windows-only, sorry) instead (if you have a Windows as well). It's heads+shoulders better than handbrake, though 'brake was great for a while.
I think title of TFA is (aptly, it would seem) entitled "Basics of Intel CPUs. What does the IBM Power series have to do with Intel CPUs? If you broaden the scope of an article like this to include wildlydifferentarchitectures like the Power series, you'd have a book instead of an article. Seriously. WTF. If you care so much about the PowerPC, check out Ars Technica's nice collection of related writeups. They're much better than the BigBruin articles...
speakin' of piracy, here's a quote from the PVP link in TFA
Google ads have turned to the dark side
Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2005
I can see that my google ads are keying off all the Star Wars talk, and offering up text ads based on the movies. Problem is that one of the ads is for downloading Revenge of the Sith for $1 or something.
I don't condone that. I just don't know how to make that google ad stop showing up. I'll report the ad to google.
In the meantime...nobody download movies illegally, okay? That leads to the dark side.
I think a more compelling argument would be the quality issue, which is really the main reason that people (who would otherwise download that abysmal POS) won't siphon it from the Great Bitstream. Come on man, talk about quality! It's a relevant issue. Piracy is so overdone already. I noticed a similar lack of insightful hilarity in the panels he writes.
The MX700 (I have three sets) works great up to 8 or 10 feet away. I don't think you've actually used any recent Logitech wireless, b/c they're actually pretty good. AFAIK the LX700 is only different in that the DEL key is a vertical oblong shape, and some other keys were moved around to compensate..
with the scratch these university publishers skim off me (each semester!) they could give Christmas to Ethiopia for a week. Thanks for new minor revisions every year so i don't get anything back for used books! i have very little sympathy for these crooks.
Let's ban George Lucas, since he has done more than anybody else to dim the magic of the movies. Maybe Paulie Shore comes close, but he's not around anymore.
If the ice cream is advertised as "tasty and pure" and I receive something laden with rat feces, I'd rather know before paying. This is exactly what happened last time, and now I'm a little wiser.
try updating a basic Libranet, XandrOS or other debian-based system; it takes ages. I updated FireFox on my XandrOS 2.5 system, it downloaded 40MB of libraries and took about ten minutes. WinXP update for same thing: about 1 minute, incl. 4MB download. apt also asks too many damned questions. I hate sitting through an update session telling it the obvious thing to do.
if the movie doesn't suck inflamed donkey balls, i'll be seeing it Friday. Think of this pre-release as a test screening for skeptics like me, and every other poor sucker who saw "the Phantom Plot" and "Attack of the Clone" (and who has the sacred bittorrent lore). I won't watch this Sith thing until it's been proven watchable. Give George Lucas $13 for feeding me another piece of shit? No thanks, bro.
twice as expensive? It's cost less, not more. Bigger, faster, better disks actually cost less to replace than their miniature equivalents. Currently laptop drives are more than twice the cost.
Slashdot Mirror
I have one too, and the parts are available for anybody who wants 'em :) I'm only using the case for a mod.
How about some real dancing ;)
Guilty? Innocent? I dunno, that's just some weird shit either way.
you forgot to compound that last one. It's very poetic, this way :)
A slashdotting, to bittorrent, is lifeblood. A trueswarm.

Official odds are -1095 google, +450 wall at thegreek.com.

This guy can play the NeroDigital, incl. subtitles and alternate audio streams. It's also about 70 American bucks.

I thought that was the main benefit?
OTOH as long as FlashBlock still works I don't give a crap.

Episode III was horrible. The thrill is gone, and that ain't all.. I wish I'd downloaded it first, just to be sure.
Crap crap crap!

From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Mac Mini is a superior machine.

Well, clearly price, performance and functionality all take a back seat. All that's left is the size and looks of the thing.
