You talking about a video router? Blackmagiv do perfectly serviceable ones for about £1500 that do 3G let alone 1080i.

That's the only place i can see resolution being an issue for routers.

Now if you're complaining about latency, jitter and bandwidth in an file based up world, then you'll be looking at the video bandwidth being the issue, as file system and client buffeting will cope with pretty much any amount of jitter.

I tried using my pi as a nail. It was about as good as using it as leaving it as a remote box I can ssh off.

SMB used to (not sure if it still does) have issues with high latency. I think you could only get something like 256kbit per round trip time, so a 10ms latency would limit you to 25mbit.

I assume that it's been fixed now.

Why would the resolution make any difference to how well it streams? A 2mbit 1080p stream will work fine, a 270mbit 576i stream wont

If you're lucky. A guy in our building in Joburg was carjacked at the lights, but the guy fired the pistol having failed to remove the keys.

Fortunatly it jammed, and the would-be jacker took his time clearing the gun why the chap escaped. When Group 4 arrived 10 minutes later they found both the misfired bullet with a dent in the back, a few spent casings, and a bullet hole in the back of the car.

Lucky escape, I'd rather drive in gaza than joburg.

Why not ask if he's a leprechaun - it's more likely!

I'm told I have an irritating habit of interrupting people in person, too...

Don't forget,

-global hotkey support
-small form factor
-visualization plugins
-crossfading plugins
-instanced playback to multiple soundcards
-built in web server control
-winamp lite installer filesize is 4134 kb and currently consumes 32mb of ram on my system
-lcd display plugins
-LIRC plugin
-streamripper plugins
-flawless manual and automated operation, virtually crash free

And those are just the features I have used in the past week! for free!

Nothing comes close. Winamp IS audio on windows.

My version is using the Nullsoft FLAC Decoder v3.03 and I haven't had any trouble with playing FLAC either. Maybe GP will elaborate...

I'm sure it just doesnt have enough harmonic waveletude or cool-toned intangible warbles, so he deemed it inferior.

Back on topic, the only thing to hope for is that they don't fuck up a perfect product

Oracle should just have engaged an outsourcing company like Infosys, HCL or TATA if they wanted to pay Indian wages. They are experts at bending the work permit/visa rules.

So GP indeed may be jumping to conclusions on that account. As for the rest of your argumentation, yes, one punch from a strong guy could kill a 71-year-old

As a retired cop, who was being afforded a special right to carry a gun in a gun-free theatre, that the vast majority of 71 year olds would not be allowed to do, I would hold him to a much standard --- he knew, or should have known how to most safely handle the situation, and he clearly did not do the right thing.

Even if he won't be serving any jail time, he deserves the conviction, so he can have the felony on his record --- which will prevent him from ever legally carrying a gun again, for the rest of his life.

Here's where your argument falls flat. Without his gun, that 71-yo might be dead on the floor after being assaulted without provocation by a man 30 years younger.

No... the 71 year old was clearly acting carelessly; he started the argument apparently by harrassing the texter repeatedly, then taking actions to provoke them further, and with his gun -- placed a large number of innocent bystanders in apparent lethal danger, by shooting in a dark theatre.

Note that the shots he fired killed one person, and the wife was shot and injured as well.

Aside from the fact, the 71 year old's argument with the texter was more disruptive than the texting;

He had clearly been able to flee or escape the situation, as evidence by the fact, that he had left earlier, which negates the argument of self-defense. The 71 year old was being apparently stubborn, and reacting in an a manner not proper in a civilized society.
