Re: Compressing voice recordings

That's not very low. Opus should allow you to save some.

Re: Compressing voice recordings

Well, you want to have files that are understandable, yet smaller . That's where bitrate comes into play. You want something smaller than what you have already and the best thing you can do to tell people where you are is by telling what average bitrate do you get. As to Opus, well, I don't know. St...

Re: Trojan found in TypeAndRun

Hmm I have found most companies are happy to accept reports of false positives My experience is exactly the opposite. Unless you call 20% "most". I've went through a big pain trying to report a false positive to IIRC ~15 companies at some point and since then when users complain, I say - ...

Re: Self Destructing USB

The site doesn't like my Flash Player (screw them), but by reading the text (extremely useful), I can say: it doesn't look secure. Well, yes, it can protect you from amateurs in the sense that you'll get your data back after it's all over the net. But tracking? Remote scrambling? Being unable to see...

Re: Compressing voice recordings

http://www.opus-codec.org/ ? It's the latest greatest codec, with superb quality / space tradeoff, but it focuses on somewhat higher bitrates than Speex, so it may not be better for you. It's hard to tell because the settings that you give tell me nothing, I think that it would be better if you gave...

Re: Self-destructive eMail messages

Yeah, right. Giving a message to a 3rd party is super-private. And all you have for security is their words.
Worthless.

This:

is more like it, though it's just a research project ATM.

@ m^(2): Didn't you have a cat before a mirror showing an image of a lion first ... or am I wrong? I liked that :wink: So you don't like the current one?

Re: Entire computer on a thumb drive (not just the OS)

Raspberry Pi could be fine if they didn't choose a Linux-only chipset....I like the concept a lot, but as it is it's worthless for me.

Re: TPFC down for the whole of yesterday

Just last week my friend had his Yahoo site brought down because he hosted Upacked files on it.
Seriously, the AV companies are a big WTF, but those who rely on them to punish their customers are even worse.

Re: SoftMaker Office 2006 for Windows....(NOW FREEWARE)

In regular cases UPX shouldn't noticeably reduce performance after startup. BTW, SoftMaker Office performance is a mixed bag. In general it's far more snappy than OpenOffice, you click and it does the thing immediately. But when it comes to doing serious operations of big spreadsheets - it's much sl...
