    Having digital still cameras with a 480MB connection ...


    Sorry, thats 480 Mb/s, or 60 MB/s.

  2. Re:support for USB, but what about the devices? on USB 2.0 For Linux · · Score: 1
    I am glad to see that Intel is going to push for Linux support but we need to have the drivers written too!


    Really, my USB Intel webcam won't even work decently on Windows 2000!

    Good luck getting support from Intel for Linux!

  3. Re:Matter replication? on New Technique For 2D Imaging Of Nanostructures · · Score: 1
    Fourtunately a perfect copy of a bill will have a perfect copy of the serial number. Be fairly easy to filter these out of the economy.

    As for introducing it. If you needed perfect copies it wouldn't be an issue today.

    Looks like radio stations are going to die soon then. :-)

    Hard to avoid a crappy signal over here...

  5. 30 second preview on Future of Digital Music in Doubt · · Score: 1
    I can hear it now. some really innovative stuff for the first 31 seconds, then another 4 minutes of nothing but wierd burping noises.

    But really, why not just offer a crappy copy of the full tune? The first 30 seconds are usually build up to the meat of the tune anyways.

  6. Next... on Future of Digital Music in Doubt · · Score: 1
    Speakers can only do so much, 1-bit audio is prolly better, and .ogg can compress surround.

    A 32-bit DAC would suck arse production and cost wise. :-)

    Hey, just spell out the name. Could be a slogan.

    "Advanced Micro Devices, its our name, its what we do best."

    After that I could easily ask myself Inwho does what again?

    Tell me when they release the G-InfinityPlusOne.

    I'l take an Amiga 4000 thank you. :-)

  10. Re:MHz is irrelavent on AMD To Hide MHz Rating From Consumers · · Score: 1
    FLOPs are great for fancy graphics and physics simulations. But they do very little to make windows drag faster or cram more data down the same pipe.

    That makes MFLOPs no less relevant than MIPs though. (okay, a bit, but I like fancy graphics)

  11. Re:Bus Speeds on AMD To Hide MHz Rating From Consumers · · Score: 1

    I think your RC5 rate will plummet. :-)

  12. LEGO lives on! on Why Can't LEGO Click? · · Score: 1
    I built an air pump with a circular chamber, input in the middle of one side, output shooting off the top. The main mechanism is a spinning disk in the chamber, idea courtesy of Tesla.

    I made a crappy implementation, but it can still generate enough of a breeze to cool my monitor down a bit. :-)

  13. Re:Show me the numbers.... on A Hidden Threat To Handhelds · · Score: 1

    If it distracts you while crossing the street it could be trouble. :-)

  14. Re:Bootloader wars? on Why We Can't Just Get Along: The Bootloader · · Score: 1

    7pt console text is the wave of the future.

    8pt text is excessively large, takes more time to blit, more memory to store (or atleast the spared 8-15 bits could be converted to color data). :-)

    I'm sure the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has something to say about this...

    who identifies with neurons?

    Not me, neurons tend to zap those they get close to. They and they make dwarves look huuuuge.

    Yup, neurons ain't done nutin' fer me.

    Anyone else notice the TI DSP sponsoring and advert?

    I bet they're just itching to make a neural net do FLOPs. :-)

  21. Re:Now for the required questions. on Gamecube: Launch Delayed, Logo Added · · Score: 1

    You'd have to chip the ube or something then, GODs are there to be hard to replicate. If you can just dump a copy to a normal 3" CD then Nintendo will have failed with their copy protection (did I mention they were serious about that?).

    Actually, the DSP on the GameCube is rather impressive...

    Ideally the delay is there so they can produce enough of the black GameCubes to meet demand.

    Purple just doesn't mix with my TV/VCR area...

    I'm sorry, you seem to be illusioned about how powerful the Dreamcast is compared to the next wave of systems. Yes, the PS2 was kinda weak. The PSX was pixel soup too. Don't assume every game company is as foolhardy as the relatively new and highly nieve Sony is.
