Trojan1223Seriously, isn't that a little imature?Jun 09 00:10
Trojan1223I didn't start a fight, no need to toss insults.Jun 09 00:10
splosionThe way I understand it, linsux is not about hating linux, it's about hating the dumbest people on the linux community. AT least that's how it's supposed to work. Is that correct, Trojan1223 ?Jun 09 00:10
balzaci'm just saying, i think she'd enjoy itJun 09 00:10

Trojan1223Well, I've used Linux for around 12/13 yearsJun 09 00:11
Trojan1223More into BSD now though.Jun 09 00:11
balzacdoesn't cut ice with me if you talk trash about GNU or FSFJun 09 00:12
Trojan1223No.Jun 09 00:12
Trojan1223I just hate people who blindly advocate something they have very little understanding of. It's not a hard concept to understand; we dislike people who install Ubuntu on their grandmothers computer.Jun 09 00:12

balzacso have a well-considered opinion, don't just append "fart" to schestowitz' nameJun 09 00:15
balzacor else you're just worsening the signal-to-noise ratioJun 09 00:15
Trojan1223Well, I know Roy is older. I'm older too. I wouldn't have friends who are imature enough to use "Your moms boobs" as an insult. Leave that for someone else.Jun 09 00:15

mtnd3wg, i wonder why?Jun 09 00:20
trmancoI seeJun 09 00:21
Trojan1223It's a great site.Jun 09 00:21
mtnd3wlinsux, is that by bsd trolls?Jun 09 00:21
trmancoPrivate Registrant -> I see whyJun 09 00:22
Trojan1223No. Though, the staff are trolls and we do happen to advocate BSD for being 100 times more sane than the linux communityJun 09 00:22
mtnd3wi don't understand why bsd peeps are so threatened by linux's successJun 09 00:22
trmancoit's smallerJun 09 00:22
Trojan1223I'm not threatened by it.Jun 09 00:22
balzacJust a scanning of the topics lets me know you're not writing for my age bracket.Jun 09 00:22
Trojan1223How old are you?Jun 09 00:22
balzac33Jun 09 00:23
Trojan1223So far, you've used Your Mom jokes twice. Don't go and tell me you're somehow mature now.Jun 09 00:23
balzacwell, i'm that much more mature than you.Jun 09 00:23

balzacAll I said was I'd autograph your mother's boobs if she wanted.Jun 09 00:24
trmancololJun 09 00:24
balzacbut you went and dropped the 'f-bomb'Jun 09 00:24

balzacTrojan1223: I'm ten years your senior, personality-wise.Jun 09 00:24
balzacSome people get trapped in a permanent adolescence. I'm not one of them.Jun 09 00:25
Trojan1223If the f-bomb is offensive to you, I kindly suggest that you don't read the rest of the site. We're not liked at all by politically correct groups. Skins love us!Jun 09 00:25
mtnd3wseniority in trollingJun 09 00:25
mtnd3wi think trolls are really old in generalJun 09 00:25
balzacdon't worry about me reading your site. I scanned the topics and I have no intention of wasting my life reading that drivel.Jun 09 00:25
balzaclife is short.Jun 09 00:25
balzaci could be reading the man pagesJun 09 00:25
Trojan1223You dislike it because you don't agree with it.Jun 09 00:26
mtnd3wtrojan, want me to blog about it so you can get some hits?Jun 09 00:26
balzacalso because it has a peurile toneJun 09 00:26
Trojan1223However, if you actually read some of our site, you would find that we're a lot more sane/smarter/interesting than you thinkJun 09 00:26
balzacwell then, reel it in and I'll read it.Jun 09 00:27

_GoblinI think its simply potty talk....Jun 09 00:31
balzacethnic slurs can be funny - when it's people making light of them who are already known to be of the same ethnicity the slurs are about.Jun 09 00:32

_GoblinI will certainly link to it.Jun 09 00:32
balzacbut if you're an anonymous (probably european ethnic origin), you aren't funny when you use ethnic slurs about others.Jun 09 00:32
DaemonFCwithout common protocols and file formats, it's like having a car and no roads to drive it onJun 09 00:33
Trojan1223It's not intended to be funnyJun 09 00:33

balzaci've given you some constructive criticismJun 09 00:34
Trojan1223I wouldn't expect you to be easily trolled. If I wanted to troll you it would be pretty epic. It's not like I'm trolling you now.Jun 09 00:34

balzacGary, as long as you stay within the boundaries of the law, I don't think your trolling is going to bother me.Jun 09 00:35
_GoblinWhat insults?Jun 09 00:35
Trojan1223Instead of telling me what I am, or what you think about me, try to listen to my conversation firstJun 09 00:36
balzacWell, I've said some things which ought to be obvious to you.Jun 09 00:36

_Goblinyeah, go on Trojan1223, ask your questionsJun 09 00:42
Trojan1223How is it that whenever someone opposes your views it always gets personal? You instantly started insulting me soon as I told you who I was, and what my views were. Is it due to insucurity?Jun 09 00:42

splosionTrojan1223: to answer what you're getting at honestly, I think that pretending Linux doesn't have shortcomings and forcing it on people who don't want it or people who need to use Photoshop or AutoCAD or whatever is likewise a dumb idea. But if you offer it to someone whose needs are just bog-standard web-browsing or whatever is fineJun 09 00:52

ViperChiefWithout GNU, Linux would be absolutely nothingJun 09 02:37
DaemonFCLinux has forked the GNU compiler, libraries, and utilities and maintained them for yearsJun 09 02:37
DaemonFCbefore going back to the GNU versionsJun 09 02:38
DaemonFCso Linux would go on if GNU disappearedJun 09 02:38
ViperChiefThe same way that without Linux, GNU would be nothingJun 09 02:38
x33bGNU was nothing without linux, there only something because of itJun 09 02:38
DaemonFCno, GNU is not really as important as most of the other bits, they could be forked and maintained if GNU disappearedJun 09 02:38
balzacSir_Sane: you like to use racial slursJun 09 02:38
ViperChiefBut, if GNU had never been there, where would Linux be? Nowhere. By the time Torvalds figured something out, 386BSD would be out and that's what he would useJun 09 02:38
x33bWhich is probably why stallman is very adamant about it being GNU/linuxJun 09 02:38
Sir_SaneMy own talk on GNU/HURD: http://sellinginsanity.blip.tv/file/2112093/Jun 09 02:38

DaemonFCIt wouldn't really matterJun 09 02:39
balzacyeah, but you can't make incitements to deadly violence against specific individualsJun 09 02:39
ViperChiefI think so. Torvalds even said, himself, that if he knew about 386BSD, Linux probably never would've happenedJun 09 02:39

DaemonFCotherwise Linux would never have gotten popularJun 09 02:40

mib_esnwffHow many years has HURD been in development?  Is there any chance of it even coming out?Jun 09 02:40
x33bno, there is no chanceJun 09 02:40

Sir_Sanemib_esnwff: There's a new microkernel project for it by Neal Walfield, check out my video linkJun 09 02:40
DaemonFCso that was a point where history could have gone differently and free software would be free of GNU spam and political agendaJun 09 02:40

ViperChiefSir_Sane never incited anyone to be violent towards blacks. He just said he hated niggers.Jun 09 02:48
DaemonFCHolmes, writing for a unanimous majority, ruled that it was illegal to distribute flyers opposing the draft during World War I. Holmes argued this abridgment of free speech was permissible because it presented a "clear and present danger" to the government's recruitment efforts for the war. Holmes wrote:Jun 09 02:49
DaemonFCThe most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic. [...] The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.Jun 09 02:49

DaemonFCsplosion: I found out why it takes twice as long to post a video on Youtube if you use TheoraJun 09 03:46
DaemonFCThey have to transcode it into MPEG-4 before they wrap it in the flv containerJun 09 03:46
balzachttp://digg.com/d1tGeVJun 09 03:46
DaemonFCflv does not accept theora or vorbis contentsJun 09 03:47
DaemonFCI can think of a few reasonsJun 09 03:47
DaemonFCone is that a Theora stream has to be much bigger in filesize for the same quality as MPEG-4Jun 09 03:48
DaemonFCthe other is that you can use HE-AAC for audio in flv, which will have about twice the fidelity at low bitrates vs VorbisJun 09 03:48
DaemonFCso the MPEG-4 lineup are technologically superior for streamingJun 09 03:49
DaemonFC:)Jun 09 03:49

DaemonFCit seems to be open sourcedJun 09 05:47
DaemonFCsame style of licensing as VorbisJun 09 05:48
DaemonFCit performs better than Vorbis in most listening testsJun 09 05:48
DaemonFCthere has to be some reason why there's no open source mob behind itJun 09 05:49
splosionDaemonFC: never even heard of it beforeJun 09 05:49
DaemonFChttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MusepackJun 09 05:49
splosionOh Musepack. OK yeah I know of it. Didn't know the extension then. Never encountered anyJun 09 05:50
DaemonFCaccording to the listening tests, Musepack beats Vorbis at low bitrates til 128k where there's a 4-way tie between WMA, Vorbis, Lame MP3, and AACJun 09 05:50
DaemonFCand there it's still slightly ahead of the restJun 09 05:50
DaemonFCit seems like if you're targeting bitrates above 128k, there's no clear advantage to any codecJun 09 05:51
DaemonFCit's easy to see why everyone is trying to be the best low bitrate encoder, if that's the only place where it really mattersJun 09 05:52
splosionhrmmJun 09 05:52
*Balrog_ has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host))Jun 09 05:52
DaemonFCI've done my own listening tests at this system just to see where I started noticing a differenceJun 09 05:53
splosionoh well. I encode to vorbis simply because it's the default setting for the apps I use. When I download lossy stuff off the tubes, I just leave it as whatever format in came in, unless I have to strip the DRM or whateverJun 09 05:53
neighborleewell ive never heard of it either and ive been around linux since redhat 5.2..Ive'not been active all that time but still, ive never heard of it eitherJun 09 05:53
DaemonFCit seems like around 64k it goes HE-AAC, LC/AAC, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, Lame MP3, Fruenhofer MP3Jun 09 05:53
DaemonFCto me anywayJun 09 05:53
DaemonFCI would never encode that low thoughJun 09 05:54
DaemonFCI've played around with LAME though, it turns out there's a surprising number of command line arguments that can have drastic impact on the MP3 fileJun 09 05:55
DaemonFCyou can force Lame to act kind of like AAC regarding high frequencies and not bother to waste any bits on themJun 09 05:56
splosionmost of the stuff I have is encoded at around 192. I have to say it feels strange listening to flacs and other lossless things after that. You notice the difference in sound.Jun 09 05:56
DaemonFCthat way it uses more of the bit reservoir on audible rangesJun 09 05:56
DaemonFCsplosion: pass this to LameJun 09 05:57
DaemonFC-S --noreplaygain -V 2 --lowpass 19.7 --vbr-new - %dJun 09 05:57
DaemonFCyou'll get files that are about the same size as 192 CBR, but they'll sound a hell of a lot betterJun 09 05:58
DaemonFCthe encoder will alternate between bitrates as neededJun 09 05:58
DaemonFCand not spend any above 20 KhzJun 09 05:58
DaemonFCI really can't tell any difference between the FLAC and the MP3 fileJun 09 05:59
DaemonFCso you can get great results from LAME< just most frontends are stupidJun 09 05:59
splosionI can't tell which one is better, but I can tell the difference, just aboutJun 09 05:59
splosionI just use ffmpegJun 09 05:59
DaemonFCthat's one of your problems thenJun 09 06:00
splosionwait, are you telling me to re-encode my CBR lossy tracks with that method you just typed?Jun 09 06:00
DaemonFCnoJun 09 06:00
DaemonFCyou'd have to go back to the sourceJun 09 06:00
DaemonFCand encode from thatJun 09 06:00
splosionI haven't bought a CD for more than a yearJun 09 06:00
DaemonFCand those are switches that LAME acceptsJun 09 06:00
DaemonFCI don't know about other encodersJun 09 06:01
DaemonFCas I try to avoid themJun 09 06:01
splosionso I guess I should have said, I used ffmpegJun 09 06:01
DaemonFCiTunes and Windows Media Player have the shittiest MP3 encoders everJun 09 06:01
DaemonFCyou can't get a decent file out of either of themJun 09 06:01
DaemonFCthey both default to the original psychoaccoustic model and they don't support VBRJun 09 06:02
DaemonFCbasically they do everything they can to cripple anything you try to make with themJun 09 06:02
splosionyou can pass LAME arguments to ffmpeg too, if you have a version compiled to use lame, of courseJun 09 06:02
DaemonFCin a typical stream, there will be a few parts that can be represented at really low bitrates, and a few parts that need the full 320, but most can be represented at 160 or 192Jun 09 06:04
DaemonFCthe problem is that if you use 160, you're throwing quality out the windowJun 09 06:04
DaemonFCand if you use 192, you're wasting a lot of bits on nothingJun 09 06:04
DaemonFCand still sacrificing the parts that need higher bitratesJun 09 06:04
DaemonFCso VBR handles this problem nicelyJun 09 06:04
DaemonFCVBR setting 2 on LAME produces reasonable file sizes and excellent qualityJun 09 06:05
DaemonFCkills both problemJun 09 06:05
DaemonFCand even though the MP3 format may not be as advanced as Vorbis, Lame has a much better VBR algorithm and psychoaccoustic modelJun 09 06:06
DaemonFCwhich is why neither can really overtake the other oneJun 09 06:06
*neonfloss (n=neon@66.212.183.50) has joined #boycottnovellJun 09 06:07
DaemonFCbut I really have to say I don't expect Vorbis to take off for a good number of reasonsJun 09 06:07
DaemonFCmaybe it will have some success in the whole HTML 5 thing as it scales down a little better than MP3Jun 09 06:07
splosionyeahJun 09 06:08
DaemonFCbut I don't think it will ever be really successful as a way to store files on your systemJun 09 06:08
DaemonFCwhat amazes me about Vorbis is how many things they left out of the final version to get a simple encoding and decoding processJun 09 06:09
DaemonFCone thing that really struck me as odd was that it doesn't  seem to support backwards predictionJun 09 06:12
DaemonFCI could be missing something thoughJun 09 06:12
splosionI don't know. My knowledge on encoding stuff is rather, err, limited. I guess I'd feel differently if I was ripping 300 CDs though :PJun 09 06:15

DaemonFCstripping DRM tags out of purchased files is possibleJun 09 06:20

splosionin the UK, there's a bunch of artists who are rebelling against the labels. They're slowly moving towards managing themselves and working out the best way to distrubute their shit. I guess it's a matter of survival more than anything. they need a new business model fastJun 09 06:31
DaemonFCwell, ditching the RIAA is a good first stepJun 09 06:32
DaemonFCthey have to sell 10 CDs through the RIAA to make the profit of selling oneJun 09 06:32
DaemonFCso even without the exposure, they could still hardly do worseJun 09 06:33

splosionnot good for battery life on portablesJun 09 09:05
splosionerr, yeahJun 09 09:05
DaemonFCthey claim it's CD quality at ~70k VBRJun 09 09:06
DaemonFCI encoded it to ~192k to give it a fair shot at the V 2 MP3Jun 09 09:06
DaemonFCand it still failedJun 09 09:06
DaemonFCby the time I got it to sound like the MP3, I was up at ~370kJun 09 09:06
DaemonFC:PJun 09 09:06
splosionthat was the argument with oggs years ago if I remember. On one hand, people were complaining that mp3 encoders would add silence on to the end of the track, whereas oggs could be made to be pretty gapless by comparision. but then oggs take more powah to decode. is it still that way now?Jun 09 09:07

splosionspectral band replication. Now you've lost me. that sounds similar to a flux capacitor to me tbh. Let me just go wiki what that means :PJun 09 09:15
DaemonFCunfortunately Thomson was a bunch of assholes and decided to keep MP3Pro to themselvesJun 09 09:15
splosionSpectral band replication (SBR) is a technology to enhance audio or speech codecs, especially at low bit rates and is based on harmonic redundancy in the frequency domain.Jun 09 09:15
DaemonFCso nothing but their products could use itJun 09 09:15
DaemonFCand so it never went anywhereJun 09 09:15
DaemonFCyesJun 09 09:16
DaemonFCSBR can improve the quality quite a bitJun 09 09:16

DaemonFCyeah, SBR is pretty coolJun 09 09:18
DaemonFCit's currently how Microsoft is marketing 64k WMA to be CD qualityJun 09 09:19
DaemonFCwhich it's not, but the SBR helps it a lotJun 09 09:19
splosiondoes SBR still sound okay with tracks with loads of sounds in the upper echelons of harmonics?Jun 09 09:20
DaemonFCyesJun 09 09:20
DaemonFCnaturally, the higher the bitrate, the less SBR will help the qualityJun 09 09:20
splosionayeJun 09 09:21
DaemonFCbeyond 160k AAC, it's only using SBR above 16 KhzJun 09 09:21
DaemonFCstill, if your portables can use itJun 09 09:21
DaemonFCgo for itJun 09 09:21
DaemonFCit is part of the MPEG-4 standardJun 09 09:22
splosion16 khz. are you old enough to not be able to hear that yet?Jun 09 09:22
DaemonFCby 160k, any decent codec will reproduce that faithfully enough on its ownJun 09 09:23
DaemonFCthe SBR is used there to give the codec more bits to play with elsewhereJun 09 09:23

MinceRoiaohm: you seem to know a few things about x, so here's a question i have:Jun 09 10:24
MinceRwhen using 3d compositing (such as compiz), do textures made from windows (pixmaps) that are stored in video ram appear as part of resident set size?Jun 09 10:24
MinceRof compiz or XJun 09 10:24
ushimitsudokicheck out how Leo Laporte responds to someone questioning his integrity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7_1VNc3RcEJun 09 10:25
ushimitsudoki+1 to LeoJun 09 10:25
oiaohmReason why compiz screws up with DRI1 drivers is there is only one buffer to be used in the DRI1 design MinceRJun 09 10:25
MinceRbuffer to hold textures, right?Jun 09 10:25
oiaohmUnder DRI2 each application can have there own.Jun 09 10:26
oiaohmbuffer is basically 1 single huge texture that everything is writing to MinceR.Jun 09 10:26
MinceRicJun 09 10:26
oiaohmDRI2 each application has there own texture.Jun 09 10:26
oiaohmcompiz is basically 1 mother of a hack.Jun 09 10:27
MinceRdoes that buffer show up in [h]top as part of rss? sometimes i see rather high memory usage and i wondered if it was realJun 09 10:27
oiaohmKindaJun 09 10:29
MinceRthxJun 09 10:29
oiaohmDue to X11 under dri1 running its memory manager in usage space and other things can go passed X11 to the video card.Jun 09 10:29
oiaohmEverything in video card has to be duplicated in normal ram as well MinceRJun 09 10:30
MinceRthat's what i was afraid ofJun 09 10:30
MinceRand dri2 will fix that, right?Jun 09 10:30
oiaohmYepJun 09 10:30
oiaohmDri2 moves the memory manager into kernel.Jun 09 10:30
oiaohmWhere it really should have been in the first place.Jun 09 10:30
oiaohmSo framebuffer and X11 use the same memory manager to control the video card ram.  No more is this maybe in the video card.Jun 09 10:31
oiaohmPeople will not know X11 after the new DRI2 alterations are taken up by application developers.Jun 09 10:33
oiaohmIncluding the support of double buffering interface writes to screen.Jun 09 10:34

oiaohmUnder the patent system you cannot refuse to give a patent just make it too expensive to for anyone to compete with the patent.Jun 09 10:59

DaemonFCso Microsoft had no idea that they'd turn around and make Windows Media for LinuxJun 09 11:04
DaemonFCthey figured they were a no-name bulk licensor for devicesJun 09 11:05
oiaohmYep.Jun 09 11:05
oiaohmThey are even lazyer than that.Jun 09 11:05
oiaohmMost of there decoders were created in the open source world DaemonFC.Jun 09 11:05
DaemonFCthat's actually pretty funnyJun 09 11:05
DaemonFCand now there's nothing they can do about itJun 09 11:06
oiaohmSo Fluendo really has not made that many codecs.Jun 09 11:07
DaemonFCand it looks like you can't encode to Windows Media with their stuff, just decodeJun 09 11:07
DaemonFCffmpeg can encode to WMA or WMV if you need it toJun 09 11:07
oiaohmFluendo missed buying that right.Jun 09 11:07
oiaohmBut for long term storage why would you.Jun 09 11:08
DaemonFCwell, there's few reasons why you would want to use WMAJun 09 11:08
DaemonFCbut I think it would be funny if there was a way to legally do it on Linux without MS being able to sue youJun 09 11:08
oiaohmYou could in theory setup a recoding service in a country where software patents does not apply.Jun 09 11:10
DaemonFCmost of the Windows Media specification is frozenJun 09 11:10
DaemonFCso there's really not much risk of incompatible format changesJun 09 11:11
DaemonFCWMA decoding hasn't really changed much at all since like 2001Jun 09 11:11
DaemonFCthe encoding hasJun 09 11:11
oiaohmAlso some of the encoding and decoding that is patented could end up in video cards as well.Jun 09 11:12
DaemonFCso then you have a license if you own a video cardJun 09 11:14
DaemonFCcoolJun 09 11:14
oiaohmMostly due to the simple fact your video card is far more effective than a cpu at processing complex maths requred to decompress some of these highly compressed formats.Jun 09 11:19
DaemonFCI just want to know why some people swear by WMAJun 09 11:23
DaemonFCit still can't hold a candle to LAME MP3Jun 09 11:24
DaemonFCI've tried every possible way you can encode it and the result is never really all that greatJun 09 11:24

DaemonFCstill doesn't, but almost nobody uses those anymoreJun 09 12:11

DaemonFCthat's why they are rolling with the "Media Center PC" now and putting all kinds of things like TV tuners in that Linux can't handleJun 09 12:12
DaemonFCthey have to keep it to where installing Linux means something on the PC won't work right or at allJun 09 12:12
splosionhardware incompatibility is becoming less of a problem more and more, though. For most thingsJun 09 12:13
splosionI think you'll see lots more "people prefer Windows" stuff being trotted out. the argument for linux not being for the masses will change to that and only that, eventuallyJun 09 12:13

mib_ac4yxawhats the difference between a lock to stop you stealing and DRM ?Jun 09 13:15
MinceRthe lock doesn't hamper me in legal uses of the doorJun 09 13:15
splosiontheft requires that the person you stole from no longer has use of whatever it is you stole from him. Copying stuff doesn't suffer from that. That's why it isn't theft. Has it ever occurred to you, mib_ac4yxa, that no one has ever gone to prison for downloading music?Jun 09 13:15
MinceRDRM prevents typical users from many legal fair usesJun 09 13:15
MinceRi control the lock to my own propertyJun 09 13:15

splosionthere's a chance of that happening with the super duper new netbooks and stuff, seeing as Windows CE is MS's only answer to ARM, and as XP won't be an option anymore. but then it could just turn out to be a big hoohah over nothing.

MinceRDaemonFC: i don't see where you took the MP3 part from on DVD audioJun 09 15:16
MinceR"Audio is stored on the disc in Linear PCM format, which is either uncompressed or losslessly compressed with Meridian Lossless Packing."Jun 09 15:16
DaemonFCwell, I figured that they could choose between MP3 and PCMJun 09 15:17
DaemonFCbut the more space you use for audio the less you have for video streamJun 09 15:17
MinceRwell, even CD audio is lossless, it's probably not a good idea to introduce a high-end format with lossy packingJun 09 15:17
DaemonFCso to have any useful amount of data, they'd need to use MP3Jun 09 15:17
MinceRwait a minute, are we talking about DVD Audio or the audio stream of DVD Video?Jun 09 15:17
DaemonFCaudio stream of a DVD videoJun 09 15:18

oiaohm24 bit extends into the sub range better as well.Jun 09 15:22
DaemonFCusually bundled as bonus discs in collectors sets *sigh*Jun 09 15:22
oiaohmMajor difference is how well the subs will feel.Jun 09 15:23
DaemonFCoiaohm: whenever I have to lossy encode something I took from vinyl, I go for MP4Jun 09 15:23
oiaohmIf you don't have sub woffers might as well just place a cd.Jun 09 15:23

DaemonFCoiaohm: I've foung that by commanding LAME to not encode anything above 19.7 Khz, it will use the bits I allocate it much more effectivelyJun 09 15:25
DaemonFCthe way it defaults in 3.98 and 3.99, it doesn't piss around with much above that point anywayJun 09 15:25
DaemonFC3.97 was incredibly buggy thoughJun 09 15:26
DaemonFCI hate re-encoding everything every few versions of LAMEJun 09 15:26
MinceRalso, they aimed for typical humans, perhaps even typical human adultsJun 09 15:26
DaemonFCbut just another reason to have the CD handyJun 09 15:26
MinceRthere can be deviations from that in hearing ability.Jun 09 15:26
MinceRfor example, i can apparently hear those ringtones only teens are supposed to hear, despite my age.Jun 09 15:27
DaemonFCyour hearing does not improve as you get olderJun 09 15:27
DaemonFCactually, most parts of the body don't approve with ageJun 09 15:27

fewaDaemonFC, you did not listen to what he saidJun 09 15:28

MinceR(something you learn about music as you listen to it)Jun 09 15:31
oiaohmSo yes some dog whisles really bug me.Jun 09 15:31
MinceRso they should test on a wide range of ages.Jun 09 15:32
MinceRbut anyway, we're probably going to get a natural progression of improvement, regardless of what the capabilities of our ears are. :)Jun 09 15:32
DaemonFCI generally can hear a slight difference between the CD and LAME V 3 (~160), but can't usually hear any difference between the CD and LAME V 2 (~192)Jun 09 15:32
DaemonFCI suppose that puts me at above average hearingJun 09 15:32
DaemonFCsince those are supposed to be transparent around 128kJun 09 15:32

DaemonFC:)Jun 09 15:37
mib_ac4yxaYes MinceR the PLC micros control everything the supervisor computer just monitors and allows settings to be changed, but  its a fail safe design so no matter what fails there are limits and protections in place so no damage can be doneJun 09 15:37
MinceRthe good thing about lossless digital is that you've lost a little bit of info when you digitized and from that point nothing else will be lost foreverJun 09 15:38
MinceRas your equipment improves, you'll get closer to perfectly replicating the data that was savedJun 09 15:39
MinceReventually it will probably get perfect (the errors stay within the resolution at which it was sampled)Jun 09 15:39
mib_ac4yxathats true assuming your media stays intactJun 09 15:39
MinceRerror correction is possibleJun 09 15:39
DaemonFCwell, the point of VBR MP3 is that it's really really good considering that you've now got the file size to about 1/6th to 1/8th the size of the WAV/AIFF sourceJun 09 15:40
MinceRas long as it's readable, you can copy it and keep the data foreverJun 09 15:40
MinceR(except CD audio handles this really negligently)Jun 09 15:40
MinceR(so i'd recommend against CD audio)Jun 09 15:40
DaemonFCin other words, if I can shove 8 times as many albums on my portable and not really lose *that much* quality, then it's goodJun 09 15:40
DaemonFCas long as I have a master copy, everything is fineJun 09 15:40
mib_ac4yxathats true but error correction can only guess at the lost data, its does degrade the quality (mabey imeasurably though)Jun 09 15:40
MinceRi think the point of lossy compression is that you can stuff more music on storage devices you can take with yourself on the goJun 09 15:40
DaemonFCand they can make new encoders or formats all they wantJun 09 15:41
MinceRbut i'd expect that to lose significance eventuallyJun 09 15:41

mib_ac4yxawell if you picked something that had no seeds, you can be the prime seed and load whatever you want on thereJun 09 15:54

oiaohmIt would cause complete chaos in a bittorrent network.Jun 09 15:58
mib_ac4yxaI would expect the checksums for the torrent would be on each packet of the file, you simply get on the "need" list for ones you dont have and "Have" list for the ones you do ?Jun 09 15:58

Carl_Rover2k12kentma: well what other company is charging hand over fist for online services that isn't an MMO?Jun 09 19:38
kentmaCarl_Rover2k12: economics is the key here.  You make money by charging more than your costs.Jun 09 19:39
kentmaCarl_Rover2k12: this is the essential business case for open-source, in fact.  Ultra-low costs = low prices => good margins.Jun 09 19:39

_Mutex_xb360 was originally marketed below cost to gain market share,Jun 09 19:41
schestowitzHehJun 09 19:41
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: the problem is for how long someone can sell the product at a loss. Usually scalability and technology permits that the production eventually loses its loss factorJun 09 19:41
schestowitzBeat me to it, re GM, kentma Jun 09 19:41
kentma_Mutex_: this is another misunderstanding of production economics.  There is no *fixed* cost of production systems - it's variable, and huge to begin with.  *All* products lose money at first, but have a break-even point later in the cycle.Jun 09 19:42
schestowitzXBox still losesJun 09 19:42
schestowitzIt even operated at a lossJun 09 19:42
_Mutex_and the market share increases the developer market for the product, something you need on a game machineJun 09 19:42

_Mutex_It was ment to operate at a lossJun 09 19:43
schestowitzIt has been almost 3 years, no?Jun 09 19:43
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: GM did not have a problem selling at a loss except with small cars. Their issue was perception, overproduction of models thanks to model cloning, along with costs of providing medical insurance to all their retirees all the while execs were still able to sow their golden parachutesJun 09 19:43
kentma_Mutex_: for how long?Jun 09 19:43

schestowitzMS talked about wanting to to turn profit in XBoxJun 09 19:44
kentma_Mutex_: okay, but now you need to think about this very hard - how does it become profitable later, exactly?Jun 09 19:44
Carl_Rover2k12schestowitz: the problem was once the Nintendo Wii came out, M$ felt the need to extend their loss for longerJun 09 19:44
kentmaCarl_Rover2k12: GM was a pension fund with a car company attached.  The car company made a loss on almost all of its products.  It paid its workers too much from top to bottom.  The *only* think it made money on was loans.  It's been dead for at least a decade - the finance world has just been waiting for it to fall.Jun 09 19:45
_Mutex_economies of scale, like everything computer related. its gets cheaper over time,  and after you cover development costs its only the cost of the bits.Jun 09 19:45

MinceRlies >> http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/solutions/en/roadready?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhsJun 09 19:45
kentma_Mutex_: even the cost of the bits is not static - it depends on sales = purchasing volumes.Jun 09 19:46
_Mutex_thats right, the more the lessJun 09 19:46
kentma_Mutex_: I'll say this again, there is no "cost" price for an Xbox, or, to be more precise, each one cost a different amount to make.Jun 09 19:46
_Mutex_thats right, and thanks for saying it again, although I understood you the first time, and I agree.Jun 09 19:47
kentma_Mutex_: one thing to consider is that some of this is just accounting practice.  For example, how long should you amortise the R&D and factory tooling effort over?  1 year?  3 years?  10 years?  20?Jun 09 19:47
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: true, but that doesn't make them produce cars at a loss as much as it was never enough to sustain all the services they were obliged to provide to their employers: http://www.npr.org/news/specials/gmvstoyota/Jun 09 19:47
kentmaCarl_Rover2k12: do you mean employees?Jun 09 19:47
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: its true, GM should have downsized a long time ago. But they figured high shares and venture capital could have kept them afloat long enough to generate marketshare againJun 09 19:48
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: I believe employers were much more to blame for thinking that the company would have been still able to run with all the union obligations.Jun 09 19:48
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: all the while they still had huge salariesJun 09 19:48
kentmaCarl_Rover2k12: nah, the execs don't care whether it stays in business or not.  They're their for salary and bonus, and will keep that as long as possible.  If the company collapses tomorrow, they might cry crocodile tears into the G&Ts in the bahamas for the press, but they just don't care.  They're there for themselves.Jun 09 19:49

_Mutex_US auto industry has certainly shown it got it wrong big time, as did the US finance industry.Jun 09 19:58
Carl_Rover2k12fewa: blame it on people's fear of changeJun 09 19:58
kentmafewa: R&D isn't the problem, it's production engineering.  the Japanese have outperformed almost everyone else for almost 20 years in production engineering.  Often, their R&D has been only average, but that's *not* where you make money.Jun 09 19:58
fewakentma, production engineering _is_ R&DJun 09 19:59

_Mutex_so they are going to focus on how to build a car, and consider it more important than whay size and type of car they build their big problem is the rest of the world worked out small efficient cars are better.Jun 09 20:02

kentmafewa: when I was a kid, a really good British radio cost about Ā£100, and was a truly high quality piece of equipment.  A japanese radio cost Ā£2.50 from woollies and was totally rubbish, but *cheap*.Jun 09 20:02
Carl_Rover2k12MinceR: oh you mean like those laptops that claim to be tough but still can't withstand a 3 foot dropJun 09 20:03
MinceRdoesn't need to be toughJun 09 20:03
kentma_Mutex_:   the small car thing is important, of course... it's really amazing for me to see how much smaller cars in the US and Canada have become over the last 35 years.   Even so, small US cars just don't seem that well made to me.  Chrysler neon for example - nasty thing.Jun 09 20:04
MinceRbut if it's got a warranty of 3 years and the first key falls out from typing in the first year and the lid hinge breaks itself a little after 1 year under normal use then i'd say it isn't even of acceptable quality, let alone tough or "RoadReady"Jun 09 20:04

Carl_Rover2k12kentma: the Saturn SC2 is a very solid car, it just may look a bit ugly and is unconfortable compared to many other European carsJun 09 20:06
kentma_Mutex_: that's the nature of disruptive tech, yes.  You come in underneath it, not from above it.Jun 09 20:06
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: what do you think made the Yugo sell relatively well in eastern Europe?Jun 09 20:06

*neonfloss has quit (Client Quit)Jun 09 20:06
kentmaCarl_Rover2k12: availability, mostly... it was available, and a better design than the really awful machines designed locally, like trabis, but even so, trabis sold very well.Jun 09 20:07
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: also a Fiat Punto isn't the greatest looking car on the inside eitherJun 09 20:07
kentma_Mutex_: price wins out usually, quality is nice to have :-)Jun 09 20:07
kentmaCarl_Rover2k12: I agree.  But it's better made than the neon.Jun 09 20:07
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: the Neon still has a better engine thoughJun 09 20:07
kentmaCarl_Rover2k12: interestingly, the neon feels like a car deisgned by someone who really wanted to build a big car :-)Jun 09 20:08
_Mutex_i find people will tend to pay what they can afford for the highest quality they can get, be it a car, house, boat, software,Jun 09 20:08
_Mutex_and they expect quality if they pay.Jun 09 20:08
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: aside from the head gasket blowing of courseJun 09 20:08
fewaquality must always be justifiedJun 09 20:08

kentmaCarl_Rover2k12: :-)Jun 09 20:08
fewanot just a class symbolJun 09 20:08
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: I guess thats why the Neon sold so well in the US for a little over half a decadeJun 09 20:08
kentmaCarl_Rover2k12: it sold well enough, but efforts to sell it outside the US and Can were a major failure - it wasn't good enough.Jun 09 20:09

kentmafewa: quite :-)Jun 09 20:09
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: true, funny thing is the next best selling after was the original Ford FocusJun 09 20:09
_Mutex_at a minimum they do, but if you can afford a porche and want that quality then y ou will buy it, even though a cheap car might get you there.Jun 09 20:10
kentmaCarl_Rover2k12: I didn't know that - that's quite amusing :-)Jun 09 20:10
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: its too bad Ford figured it would be better to license the chassis to Madza for the 3 and focused on making it cheaper to build rather than updating it. But I guess it paid off for themJun 09 20:10
kentma_Mutex_: true, but porsches are probably < 0.5% of the market (okay, I'm guessing, but I know they're not big).Jun 09 20:10
kentmaCarl_Rover2k12: well, for a while, anyway.  They were still wedded to the "big car" ideal, rather than recognising that the world had moved on.Jun 09 20:11
Carl_Rover2k12kentma: you mean only Ford USA and Australia, Ford Britain and Europe who subsequently sold to South America as well as Africa did wellJun 09 20:12
kentmaanyway, it's been great fun, but I must move on - see you later chaps - you've been great company.Jun 09 20:12

MinceRDaemonFC: many mainstream OS-es have their release cycles controlled by marketing. most distros don't.Jun 09 23:03

_GoblinTrojan: No you won't.  Youre argument holds no water...Jun 09 23:03

_GoblinTrojan:  A/ The alleged belief that the Linux community should conform to how YOU interpret it.Jun 09 23:05
_Mutex_Im just waiting for Linux or windows to have a nice VMS style versioning file system, and super duper DCL scripting language.Jun 09 23:05
fewaTrojan1223, on so if you dont contribute, once you contribute you can add to the system, and make it better, you are in chargeJun 09 23:05

DaemonFCin about 5 seconds flatJun 09 23:09

fewaTrojan1223, you can ignore people you dont agree with, you can try to influence them, but griping about it generally doesnt helpJun 09 23:10

DaemonFCthe only reason to use Ubuntu is because in being popular for no good reason, if there's a package out there, there will be an Ubuntu version of itJun 09 23:10
Trojan1223I'm not forcing a belief, I just want people to agree that it's just a fucking OS and that it shouldn't be made into a religion, saying that other OSes are the same is probably true, but Linux is my OS and I feel that this stuff needs to be said.Jun 09 23:10

EDavidBurgisn't the point of the internet that no one knows you're a dog?Jun 09 23:51
ThistleWebwhen minor points of discussion can quickly turn into a fight it's not a great atmosphere to be in. Anyone who comments risks being associated (rightly or wronfly) with one sideJun 09 23:51

DaemonFC"Technically, the problem has nothing to do with ext4 and rests squarely on applications that don't use POSIX recommended fsync() or fdatasync() functions to write files to disk. In developers' defense, ext3 didn't handle fsync() very well and a common way to speed up an app was to remove fsync() and do straight saves to disk. However, that shortcut is coming back to haunt some in the form of lost data."Jun 09 23:53
DaemonFCI may just use XFS againJun 09 23:54
MinceRtechnically the problem is that ext4 sucksJun 09 23:54
MinceRand won't be fixedJun 09 23:54
fewaI should reboot into f11, try it outJun 09 23:55
MinceRsomeone should code a NULL filesystem that, when mounted, will present an empty directory you can list and write to, and nothing you write to it will be retainedJun 09 23:55
MinceRand then the people who value performance over everything else could use that as their root fs instead of ext4Jun 09 23:55
fewaMinceR, i was thinking about implamenting that in FUSEJun 09 23:56
