96khz is major overkill. Find out for yourself, get a tone generator and I can almost guarantee you won't be able to hear 32khz, much less 96. The only reason I know this is because I've done it myself, curious about the whole 32/96 audio thing. Even with a brand new high quality record and a fully capable recording chain I've never seen frequencies much higher than 32khz (even though practically nobody could hear it anyway), in fact they often have considerably worse frequency response than digital audio. By extension, dvd-audio and SACD are a scam (as with most audiophile garbage).
That would be true if you never intended to do anything with the recording other than play it back at exactly the same rate it was recorded. Is it better to have the sampled data at the point you're resampling, or to guess what might have been there from interpolation?
The entire domestic recorded music market is worth less than 14 billion (that's revenue btw, not profit).
So that means the thousands of artists got to split about twenty bucks, right?
According to that article heterogeneous multi-adapter will work in Vista/W7 if you use XPDM drivers instead of WDDM drivers.
At least that's my understanding of this:
A user could force the installation of a XPDM driver for each of these devices, and therefore get heterogeneous multi-adapter multi-monitor to work as in Windows XP.
And when you do that you won't be able to play DVDs or BluRay or other DRM'd video, either at all or only at reduced resolution, DX10/11 will no longer be available, and depending on your monitor it might stop working because HDCP isn't on. In other words, using XPDM is *not* a viable option.
Er, isn't block deduplication really really bad at a hard drive block failure point of view? You'd have to compress or otherwise change the data to have a copy now, or it'd just be marked redundant; if that block where all those redundant nodes are pointing to go bad, all of those files are now bad.
If you were concerned about block level failure or even just drive level failure, you wouldn't be running your ZFS pool without redundancy (mirror or raidz(2)).
Rather than guessing you could just google "width of TV channel".
The answer is 6 megahertz. That's how much room these TV Band Devices (TVBD) will have for communicating over the internet. That's approximately 40 Mbit/s using 16VSB with a theoretical max of 96 Mbit/s if you strip all error correction.
16VSB would be 4 bits/symbol @ 6Msymbols/sec = 24Mbit without error correction (25.85 if you stay with ATSC's symbol rate of 6.46Msymbols/s). The wikipedia article on 16VSB is correct about bits/symbol then fails to get the math right about being "twice the data capacity of 8VSB" which is 3 bits/symbol.
Its not quite that easy to add more space. RAIDZ and RAIDZ2 pools don't support expansion yet, so you have to be using mirroring to achieve expandability. And when you are using mirroring you have to add 2 more drives to expand an existing pool. Even when using mirroring I don't think you can remove drives like you say.
RAIDZ/RAIDZ2 pools are just as expandable as mirror pools in exactly the same way. Either:
A. Add an additional RAIDZ/RAIDZ2/Mirror VDEV to the pool at which point the pool automatically expands and you automatically get striping across all VDEVs in the pool.
B. Replace all devices that comprise a single VDEV with larger devices one at a time, waiting for a resilver between each device replacement, once all devices are replaced the pool automatically expands.
I closed my Paypal account years ago after I had an issue with an item that had obviously been soiled, broken, repackaged and re-shrink-wrapped.
I thought everyone knew not to buy their underwear from eBay.
Not if he's using his nameserver as an authoritative nameserver for one or more domains. You can't list those by hostnames, you have to list them by IP address.
Since when? The NS records of a domain registration are hostnames, the NS records in a zone file are also hostnames. There's nothing stopping you from using somehost.dyndns.org as your NS record in both your domain registration and zone file, and it will work just fine.
A regular PCIe slot would be good for a tv tuner, hba, etc.
How so? It has 10 USB ports and there are dozens of USB tv tuners out there, so that leaves you with network cards and HBA. You won't be adding an HBA to a mini-ITX system which lives in a case barely big enough to hold one 3.5" drive and slim optical. You might have an argument for a network card to turn this into some sort of stupidly over-featured gateway, but there's far better suited mini-ITX boards for doing that.
This board is aimed directly at HTPC, and for that it's only lacking a few things: replace that VGA port with a break-out connector for svideo+composite+component (TV-OUT) so you can use pre-HDCP HDTVs (3 million+ of those) and projectors, and old TVs; toss in a DVI-I->VGA adapter, and replace that eSATA with FireWire so you can record/stream from cable STBs.
