OMG, someone brings up the carbon-nanotube space elevator. Quit reading Slashdot, my friend.

Spinning disks? Lasers? Dude, was Alex Chiu right?!

Best Buy has 3-packs and the "Solution Kits" with eight 8x DVD+R, one 4x DVD+RW and one 2.4x DVD+R DL. You'll want to upgrade to firmware 1.14, as it drastically improves 12x and 16x write quality on discs that can burn at those speeds. Verbat…

Quote: Patriots are still the best team in football. We'll see. The first real test since their opener against Indy is in two weeks. My gut feeling is that both the Seahawks AND Eagles will finish the year with better records than the Pats.

Yeah, I showed them to you guys. That doesn't mean she's a Mac user though...

You forgot to ask her if she used a Mac or PC.

Quote: I had no idea it has become so good. To hell with Mpeg 4 and the H264 stuff. This is what you said at first... Sorenson 3 is adequate, but it isn't 'so good.' It's only good when you compare it to the shittiest MPEG-4 codec out there.
-
Using the Apple MPEG-4 Codec isn't a good baseline for comparing Sorenson 3 to MPEG-4. The Apple codec is pitiful. Someting like Xvid, Divx 5, 3ivx, Sorenson MPEG-4 Pro, etc. would make for a much better comparison...

Like I said, most FireWire enclosures out there now should handle >137 GB HDDs just fine. The only devices that would be limited by the 28-bit LBA on your built-in IDE controller would be those directly connected to it. Your best two options …

Probably stuff like... "Keep your clothes on, whore." "STFU" "Holy shit, it's Godzilla." "There's sand in my crotch."

I can't really find any good reason to use Sorenson 3 Pro over Xvid or similar MPEG-4 codecs. Xvid can produce nice sharp edges if you use lanczos or bicubic spline interpolation. Sorenson 3 was introduced in QuickTime 5 and it's really starting…

137 GB (128 GiB) is the only number you need to know for now. That covers at the very least beige G3s through Quicksilver G4s. The old controllers use 28-bit LBA, which limits the number of readable sectors on a HDD to 2^28. Each sector is 512 …
