Question for the computer experts
I would also add that it is better to have the computer either be on or off, but never mess around with sleep mode, especially where hard drives are concerned. I've read about far too many people over the years that have had their hard drives get corrupted when using sleep mode. Not to... -

Organic Radical Batteries - Recharge in 30 Seconds
Re: Organic Radical Batteries - Recharge in 30 Sec Speaking of using this technology in small cells, wouldn't this make for the ultimate battery to put in these new MP3 watches/players that are beginning to show up everywhere? It would be very nice to be able to charge a MP3 watch/player in 30...- X-CalBR8

Organic Radical Batteries - Recharge in 30 Seconds
Re: Organic Radical Batteries - Recharge in 30 Sec I'm well aware (it was clearly stated in the linked article after all) that there is a great difference in the capacities involved here, but the part that piqued my interest and the part that I was trying to focus on is the fact that both are...- X-CalBR8

Organic Radical Batteries - Recharge in 30 Seconds
I just noticed that nobody seems to have bothered to post the Slashdot article on this so I thought I would post that as it's very interesting to read some of the comments on this new technology. The Slashdot article can be found here. Also, does anyone else find it interesting that this is...- X-CalBR8

DVD X COPY.....ILLEGAL!!!!
@MichiganMan: Man, now what the heck are you going on about? For one thing, I NEVER hang out on news groups of ANY kind whatsoever, and for another, I don't even *own* a Palm Pilot so I certainly would have NEVER found the need to post to a Palm Pilot news group, ever. How would you feel if... -

raggie33 said: "I even saw a unit for 99 bucks with a 20 gig hardrive" That's pretty sweet. I could do a lot with 20gigs. I wonder if it supports a lossless audio format such as FLAC. With a 20 gig hard drive it should. You know, I wonder if that 20 gig hard drive is a normal full size... -

DVD X COPY.....ILLEGAL!!!!
@Charles: It's not a matter of being *willing* to pay for it, it was more a matter of there not being enough of a market for anyone to care enough to write a commercial DVD player for the Linux community. This is because the DVD consortium charged a ridiculously exorbitant licensing fee to... -

DVD X COPY.....ILLEGAL!!!!
@raggie33: Have you considered just getting a portable CD player that will read DVDs? That way, if you have a DVD writer, you can write a DVD full of compressed music without the much greater expense of buying a unit with a large hard drive in it. You would also get the bonus of being able to... -

EAC can be a little bit overwhelming at first compared to some of the more "dumbed down" rippers out there so I thought I should post a URL that goes into great detail describing all of the little intricacies of EAC and also helps to explain why it's considered to be the most accurate ripper... -

DVD X COPY.....ILLEGAL!!!!
I should have mentioned to that dBpoweramp's ripper is supposedly the fastest ripper in existence (by choosing the rip to RAM option IIRC). I've not confirmed this for myself because I care more for accuracy than speed, but others make this claim. @raggie33: Just remember when you convert... -

DVD X COPY.....ILLEGAL!!!!
@raggie33: Yes. Thanks for reminding me. dBpoweramp has a very excellent ripper which I would rate as being as good as, if not slightly better than, AudioGrabber and with the new improvements that are planed, it will very likely soon rival EAC on accuracy as well. dBpoweramp has to be one of... -

DVD X COPY.....ILLEGAL!!!!
@MichiganMan: Concerning your query as to why I favor EAC over AudioGrabber. I favor EAC because it has been proven to rip more accurately than AudioGrabber is capable. If EAC is configured properly, it can rip a good CD bit for bit perfectly, something that AudioGrabber or any other ripper... -

What gives MichiganMan? I don't defend the actions of Clinton and I have NEVER blamed Bush for passing the DMCA, even though I *do* blame him for not making a greater effort of getting rid of the piece of trash now that he has the chance. I think Clinton had the morals of an alley cat, was...
