314kb/sec!! My god, what connection to the internet do you have? R.

it wouldn't be totally meaningless for compressed formats - it would give in indication of quality (and would presumably be dependant on samping frequency and numbers of bits used in sampling). This is how you would compare the quality of two seperate compression techniques. R.

it depends on which pane you drag it from: It either works from the preview pane or the message pane, not both. I can never remember which. Hope that this helps. R.

That is not totally true. Bit rates determine that amount of information that needs to be stored. The compression algorithm will then take that information and try to compress it in size according to its rules. This means that the file size is a function of two factors (at least): bit rate and...

yeah - it is different over there. The home team goes last. R.

I can hear the difference - I don't like ripping at 128MB. It isn't psychological because I really didn't except to hear any difference because I used to use 56k MP3's through my computer speakers all the time. However as soon as I started playing mp3's through my stereo I kept hearing...

lampost (around which a mclaren was famously wrapped)

well put. R.

Royal Pain-in-the-(_)(_) Thanks bubbajim :p

:eek:

Microsoft don't write programs - they create products. The applications are just part of an product. It takes a lot more resource to create a product. An application needs to be supported by documentation and a support function. A business is not very likely at all to invest in a software...

99.99% of the time, yes. However I have had very rare occurences when a particular file corrupts when going over certain lines - usually dependant upon the way that the line compresses the data. We actually managed to track this down with the help of IBM (using MQseries) so TCP/IP can't help all...

under windows you can use vbscript to do the same thing and put it in the startup folder. I did a similar thing once to someone using VBA in Excel. They had been working all day on a spreadsheet that I knew they had been saving to their local drive. Whilst they popped away from their desk I...

toe sucking (reference to David Mellor for all you in UK). Sithious - like it. :D R.

yyyyyeeeeeeessssss!!!!!!!!!!! what a tense last 20 minutes - but a good first half. yyyyeeesssss!!! :D

yay! But Paraguay are still looking dangerous.

Spain look good, but they are taking too long getting the ball into Paraguay's box - they are not incisive enough. If they passed in a few earlier crosses then a couple may be off target but they may catch the defence unawares. So far most crosses have been near-perfect, but the defence are...

SimX: I am sure that they look at goal difference - it is almost universal in Football and it is in black and white in the World Cup competition rules. Check out the link - the bit we are talking about is on page 26: FIFA Worldcup Competition Rules Paragon: I'll have a word with...

[edit: due to paragons edit]. Just to clarify: the official rules state that after the two teams have tied then the game between them is looked at in the following order: 1. points 2. Goal difference 3. Goals scored. However, if they tie points (ie it is a draw) then the other two will...

It depends on the competition rules, which in this case are: The ranking is determined as: 1. The greater number of points obtained 2. The goal difference 3. The number of goals scored If two teams are then tied then the game(s) between the two teams is used to differentiate them...
