in addition to the 3007 sale coug mentioned, the 2405 is also on sale today on dell.ca sm bus for $900

I had a vision once ... but it never worked out they way I would have wanted it to have. But that's okay - I don't have much use these days for the toolbox section anyways as [list]its Windows centric. This is, of course, simply a reflection of our user base, and not a criticism. I, however...

True enough.

A function of the factors I mentioned above. For capturing digital transmissions, CPU power really isn't a factor - a generalized ballpark response: you'll see around 5-10%. CPU utilization for capturing analog is dictated by the compression format you have selected, and the resolution at which...

Hopefully its optimizations will be opened up and find their way into the likes of libavcodec soon.

Up until just recently, the fastest H.264/AVC decoder was Ateme's. Enter CoreAVC which, from what I've seen, is ~60% faster. What this means is that fairly pedestrian hardware can now playback even AVC 1080p files. It appears that Core's media player (TCMP) and AVC plugin produces the best...

I'm skeptical of Sivlerstone's PSU's too time. Re: a s754 6100 solution - perhaps the DFI will be the first. I don't know. Wasn't looking.

That actually reminds me of something. Will start a new post. Irregardless of that, what about scaling? What about image processing?

I disagree. For playback, an ideal CPU choice depends upon several considerations, such as: method of rendering whether you're doing any scaling whether you're performing any colourspace conversions whether you're performing any postprocessing format and resolutions you're decoding the amount...

I like how all the itunes users are repaid for their "honesty": http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060111-5957.html http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/12944

That looks like a rhetorical question to me. The scamertisment looks like crap. Bet you the "ends Jan 14th at midnight" bit will read "ends Jan 15th at midnight" tomorrow.

Those based on the nVidia 61xx chipsets (same applies to my MSI comment too). The following two links show the s754 6100 solution plus an ATI based board. I'm pretty sure I saw a s939 6150 solution too but don't remember where...would be pretty silly of them not to release one...

I don't have any use for them either. Perhaps when they hit 3-4MP capability, then I might have a use for them to grab the occassional snapshot that is worth keeping. I've read that Japan is, but don't know if that's true I remember a year or so ago, being on a bus and a group of young girls...

I've always liked the connections shows. Good stuff.

The other thing to mention is that the MSI board might be more suited for you (I take it this is personal, as I see no tv card, and you mentioned previously you only stream videos with your htpc). Also, you might want to hold off a week or two until DFI's board shows up.

Make sure you get the new PSU model or else you can kiss booting your board goodbye. See me There are lots of complaints about that board currently. Such as found in: - here - here and some others - here if Linux interests you

Pretty slow for me right now....or maybe its the fact that I'm really tired and my perception is off....nay, its the internet

Interesting to see. (I didn't read, I just looked at the graphs): http://www.linuxelectrons.com/article.php/20060111213408345

Paul Martin dissapointed me. When he and JC had that big fall out a number of years back, and it was clear Martin was going to become the next leader of the Liberals, it seemed like he was actually going to be a pretty good leader. Although JC screwed him by sticking to his word of not...

There was an article not too long ago in one of the papers about polar bears starting drown. I didn't read it, but scanning it, I gather the gist of it was: rising global temps = less polar ice = a lot further for bears to swim = some dead bears

Anyone see/read anywhere if Apple is considering opening up OS X to non-Apple systems?

Yes, I believe it does affect neurotransmitters and synaptic response. A bit of both it seems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_E._Frankl I can't claim to know much about the man, as I've never read anything he wrote other then snippets printed here and there. Nonetheless, I like basis of...

Some more info: http://www.out-law.com/page-6524 Seems like the patent review process is a little on the crappy side.

I think cremation is a good thing personally. Anyways, some food for thought: Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances. --- Victor Frankl

Levis is certainly hoping it is: http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/ I'm going to get me a pair. I think I'll wear them with one of those T-shirts that has a breast pocket strictly for condoms....I'll be all the rage this summer!

The stuff spy stories are made of: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,69996-0.html?tw=wn_tophead_5 I vaguely remember Merc(?) posted something a while back about some guy who had a product that delivered audio through a focused beam of light. Only in that case, I believe it was about...

I hate when the subject title gets trunicated. What your warrenty costs you.

Dell USA Dell America Jr. Assuming PPP holds (which it doesn't), I price those 2 extra years of warrenty ~$620CDN.

http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/12936 Some of the reader comments were interesting.

http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/12932 Boo Hoo. My heart weeps for the cartel of morons.

To provide some perspective on how big that shared of territory called the NWT still is: take Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, & Wyoming and combine them in to one. Now find some miscellanous ~50,00KM^2 tract of land to fill in the rest of the space occupied by the NWT. Or, for those...

Actually Tannin, I had you in mind when I wrote about the Strawman argument, as I specifically remember you writing something along the lines of "depicting you as a strawman". But there are, no doubt, perhaps several other examples I could have drawn from memory...the fact remains: its pretty...

On a more serious note: what about considerations for cable length. IIRC, the current internal SATA is supposed to be spec'ed for a metre. That's not going to leave much end to the rope on the outside of the case to play with.

I wouldn't have thought about that either. Internal cable: Oh yeah! That's it. Oh yeah! Ummmmm, that's it. Oh yeah! Oh Baby! Ohhhhhhhhhh Yeah! End user: That's it ? Fifty lousy insertions and your done. Bastard

So true.

IIRC he worked for Ramtron, or at least a "division" of it, and thereby indirectly worked with Mushkin (which had been bought by Ramtron, and organized as an internal division). IIRC, he lost his job with them several years ago when Ramtron drastically downsized. He later found employment, and...

Ugh. That's really hard to read with the bullet points squished so close together like that. Sorry, about that. I thought there may have been more white space left in between.

My direct and indirect thoughts on the SR review are the following: I thought it was a much more thorough review then what is usually presented. I like more thorough reviews. Much of what was written I liked and thought was well presented. However, here's the flip side of the coin to the...

Yep. Same thing with me.

I think the first link seems more reasonable in terms of design, cost, and efficiency (as measured in a variety of meterics). I agree with David....I see it advantages even in lower end cases with a single fan too.

Nonesense. Just look at Russia and former Eastern block countries. They didn't figure it out, and still haven't figured it out. Unless there are well defined property rights, and citizens have effective avenues of private recourse, then you can pretty much bet nohing much will get done for...

let alone the tenents from hell.

If there is a god, I have no idea why it made us the stewards of the earth ... we're like the worse custodians ever. Anyways, its not so much the western world the worries me (although we're big fat lazy slobs who and whom have "leaders" who couldn't affect a policy if it required them to look...

Me too.

What we got here is a brief overview of another interesting system....astute readers amongst us will also discover the embedded link in the article to one of them fancy fangled beblu systems I babbled about in the first post of this monsterous thread.
