Thank you for your words -- I was not looking to compare "metrics" but I suppose it is interesting nonetheless. I can see some of my inital assumptions were in error, so thank you Neil for the clarification and your time (Neil + Jude). Quote: Originally Posted by jude (and Audio-T...

I'm not so sure about gzip here. As you said, it's not working as it should - http://leknor.com/code/gziped.php?ur...i.org%2Fforums My forum, which has gzip is well, passes this test: http://leknor.com/code/gziped.php?ur...s.minidisc.org What's up? It shouldn't depend on the browser...

If my advice was taken it would save the site thousands of dollars; I couldn't possibly contribute any more than that.

You're completely misunderstanding my intent here. I've spoken to jude via PM and he was very respectful of my opinion. Again, I'm not "slagging", but giving very specific recommendations that would benefit the site. How is that detrimental? I value and respect jude's time and everyone else who...

In the real world, the site simply doesn't need to be that expensive. I've discussed this with jude via private messages, but unfortunately my advice has still not been taken. There is little to nil software optimizations done on this server to save bandwidth and also increase preformance...

I have contacted jude in the past with recommendations for software enhancements that can be installed - gzip and a PHP accelerator like eaccelerator to make the forum faster, which to my knowledge has never been installed on here before. There is no point in a server upgrade when the software...

Bangra, one of the best ways to take better shots is to assure that you know the limitations and strengths of your camera. Time and time again when I meet/greet new camera users they may be savvy on the manual, but often that is a maze within itself and leaves the user befuddled [espesically in...

I rather not discuss the details of such to avoid any further confrontation; I hope you can understand. ..and whilst my participation did not provide a significant increase towards your stats, I did participate within the best of my ability. I have no doubts that someone will relinquish my...

After reading certain recent threads I will no longer be folding in the name of Head-Fi [nor be visiting it as often]. I apologize for leaving so abruptly, and I wish this team good luck - you guys are really have alot of potential and it's amazing how fast you're progressing through the ranks...

You're misreading again. I was referring to nick_sabatino in my second mini-paragraph.

haha @ brangra.. How's that tattoo working out for him? + has someone found a direct link to the fight [or clips]? I'd appreciate it.

Aydn, that doesn't make any sense [I think you need to re-read]. Anyway, this thing is an audio and video/image player. It's not a small laptop. It doesn't have Windows XP, nor a 800mhz processor. The specs were miswritten on that site and apparently no one has taken the time to say anything...

bangra, wouldn't Music Move work with this unit regardless? I can't find it anywhere. I'd like to peek at it.

I am tired of waiting to sample Hi-SP through a Hi-MD unit. I wish the NH900 would arrive..transparency is transparency, though, but it'll still be fun. Langrath, if the recording benefits of a Hi-MD unit surpass the immense playback ability of portables such as an iPod, Karma, etc then go...
