I like midi. But I've heard on this new thing called mod, it takes samples and tone shifts them to recreate the song! Pretty cool, like midi but better!
in the mean time - I can't stand mp3s, ogg might be the way for me to go now.
I see the odds of it replacing MP3 in terms of the.GIF vs..PNG debate -- most places that could use.PNGs still use.GIFs, despite GIF's patent issues, because.GIF was "good enough" and widely-distributed before PNG came about.
My site isn't all PNG for two reasons.
One is my lack of tools (I'm an ex-Amigan, sue me).
The other the lack of full support and stuff. I still see the occasional browser with botched PNG support.
With.ogg you just get a new player, with the web you cater to everybody else.
I think this is awesome! Changing the definition rather than changing the law. Is this not similar to the idea in Asimov's "Foundation and Earth"?
Paraphrasing: "You don't speak southern drawl?You're not human! I kill you!"
Actually I think that was in an earlier book because it took time to pull out the "thou shalt not kill (humans)" law of robotics.
They could have also redefined the act of killing as playing checkers. But I guess they didn't want the robots playing checkers with their creators, just the "enemies" that drop by. "KING ME! (die)"

...Carl Sassenrath say?
Yeah right. I bet $40 that all we'll do is make lesbian porn flicks with the Aki-triplets.
Then after a few of those someone figures out how to get one of those tentacle aliens in the mix.
I can do without seeing this sort of mental short-circuiting on the community's part.
That doesn't undo any genetic tendancies that would actually have a chance of being passed on.
Devolution has commenced?
I wonder when this sort of thing will start to be a more common event.
I forget which Max Headroom episode it was, started off with bits of deorbited satellites coming down. In a celebration of some sort.
If you don't understand why your previous statement is the equivalent of the perpetual motion machine

Hey, I got one of those sponge things to work once. All I needed was some chicken blood, chalk, and the ability to chant backwards.
I think it was even thermodynamically valid.
The fact is, AIFF is absolutely great for digital audio.
I find FLAC to be "good enough".
All a mailer is is a UI, if its any good.
Load, fetch, sort, save, compose, send. All pretty straightforward things. I don't know why its so hard to tie them together well...
FPS for graphics cards today is worse than MHz for CPUs as far as being a sane measurement of power goes.
Try PocoMail. A little buggy, but great IMO.
At the obvious website.
Secondly, it's pretty much the same thing with game consoles. Game console owners must have and must get the latest and newest.
Yeah, but most console upgrades add much more than what most Word upgrades do.
You only have to encode once. Playback speed averages 0 and peaks at 1 percent on my system.
-8 encoding isn't abysmally slow either (unless you're dead-set on many times faster encoding, which there are presets for).
In Monkey Island I had to feed a troll a Red Herring.
I guess it doesn't work well in reality, the opposite is happening.
I want to look for the footnote that says their system was tested with 93749234 GB of RAM, while the other companies was only tested with 1 MB of RAM.
:-)
Heh, thats a costly trick just to get higher POST scores.
Monkey's Audio is a bit restricted for the moment AFAIK. FLAC is certainly multiplatform, opensource, and supposedly marginally better.
:-)
Why are you thinking about this?
Is Vorbis more curvaceous than the other codecs? Does it represent the visible spectrum more completely? Does it invoke feelings within you?
You know, the spinning fish really does imply everything I've been searching for in audio compression.

Amen.

It's free, as in beer.
Speech, its open source, unpatented, yadda yadda yadda.
Lossy format to alternate lossy format conversion is bad. (and lossy to non-lossy is at least half as bad as that)
.ogg all the nifty limitations of .mp3?

The (electric?)Blue Screwdriver of Death!
Like thw world won't see a horrible plague that wipes out humanity within the next 45 years.
My math reads a bit into 2 million by the way.
Well, sounds fine until youy see how cool your sister's apple pie is, doubling as an orbital laser.
:-)
The old folks just don't get it...
How about a black paint-job? Much cheaper, still stops a good amount of light. Debatably looks cool.
