Yes thank you, I was going along with it :V
Yes I'll admit it looks nicer without the wrist rest, but I love the backlighting on it.
[QUOTE=benjojo;42927434]Fiddler won't catch everything. I've not seen ( or have there been known sightings ) a single sample in the many I have seen that alter WinPCap.[/QUOTE]
Hm, didn't really think of that. The only issue I have with Fiddler is that it doesn't work on Chome, etc when you've got proxy settings - but I guess that's kinda hard to get around.

HEAACv2 is the clear winner but MP3 just sounds like a wasteland[/QUOTE]
The Filesize seems to be better on the oog's aswell. I also noticed this, when comparing my ogg's to mp3's.

that's odd, i converted a lossless wav file into mp3 & ogg and mp3 was superior

Unless you where encoding your music in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_bitrate"]VBR[/URL] (Not that widespread) mode you won't see any size change (Unless you where changing the output bit rate of course)

Traditionally speaking, MP3 has been the worst when it comes to low bitrates, with AAC/M4A being one of the best. Listening to a 32 kbps M4A stream sounds slightly better than 128 kbps MP3 in my experience. OGG is decent too, its just that it historically hasn't had great support by embedded devices.

I actually used VBR when encoding the audio files.
[editline]20th November 2013[/editline]
Also, good news everyone, me and my dad are considering switching from 15/1 mbit speed, to 50/5 mbit internet speed.
And it wouldn't really cost that much more (~20$/month)
This gonna be awesome. :dance:

Well Winamp is going, haven't used it in years because VLC is just better.

Kinda sad given that there's a lot of plugins for things like LCD interfacing and what not.

this is actually really odd
i did that experiment a couple years ago, and now the ogg file is actually a tiny bit smaller but sounds the same
seems like "they" have improved it over the years
Instead of ending Winamp for good they should make it open source and allow it to live on through it's community...

So what will whip the llama's ass now?
I just use foobar2000.
Never really used Winamp. I could never get past the atrocious UI and I haven't ever been able to find a skin that doesn't look like a Car Stereo.
Everyone had that phase where their browser/UI was some neon color and black. and Winamp was there through all of that.

Skeumorphism was a big thing in late-90's and early 2000's applications, so I've noticed.
Remember the old version of Avast?
[img]http://www.mostlyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/ScreenShot_Free2.png[/img]
It has this car stereo/MP3 player look, which doesn't even make any sense for an antivirus program. :v:

Actually I never did, I even went out of my way to mod my old IM client (:v:) to look flat and metro-ish.
Can someone in here open this stream in VLC and confirm that this my security camera setup works?

I can relate. Used the high color contrast classic theme in XP for quite some time. :v:
Awww yessss, black with green text. Pretty much a l33t hax0r.

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://98.82.159.131:8080/stream.wmv'. Check the log for details.
Works for me, if I open it directly in the browser.

Ok, I forgot to actually forward the port. Last try if you feel like trying again.
[editline]you are awesome[/editline]
Whoops ninja'd. Thanks for testing, I had no idea it would work if you just put the thing in a browser.
Did someone ask for liquid cooling?

I'm betting it restores all quarantined viruses

Here's a two minute crash course of all those menu items and how it worked.
[URL]http://cnettv.cnet.com/avast-home-edition/9742-1_53-28645.html[/URL]
But if you want the tl;dw version, it open the main menu which lets you access things like the options and other program options. Not what you expected right?
Fortunately, the UI wasn't complex and the actual antivirus engine was pretty rock sold. Fortunately they ditched this UI for a more conventional one a few years ago in Avast 5, because that one was not intuitive in the slightest. Although they are a lot more pushy about their paid services in the free version.
just found out my current rig will be one year old on friday
Most of my "NightCrow" is now over 2 years old now.
