I have used Peacekeeper by Futuremark (before MadOnion) for benchmarking on my laptop (HP Compaq nx6110). Every browser was tested once (and sometimes more times) and these are my best results: Windows XP SP 3 Google Chrome 6.0.401.1 - 2769 Opera 10.51 - 1890 Google Chrome 5.0.307.1 - 1813 Google Chrome 4.0.213.1 - 1641 Apple Safari 4.0.3 - 1562 Google Chrome 3.0.195.6 - 1553 Mozilla Firefox 3.6 - 1452 Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2 - 1060 Arora 0.8.0 - 1023 Opera 10.00 beta 3 - 921 Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 - 393 Ubuntu 9.10 Chromium 6.0.417.0 (39184) Ubuntu - 3025 Chromium 5.0.330.0 (39184) Ubuntu - 1860 Mozilla Firefox 3.5.8 - 819 Ubuntu 9.04 Opera 10.00 beta - 728 Arora 0.5.0 - 707 Mozilla Firefox 3.0.13 - 479

So my goal to install Mac OS X Tiger has come true. Firstly I needed Tiger on CD's and that was a big problem because you can buy Tiger mostly on DVD although there are also some CD versions but very expensive. But I was lucky because friend of my friend, Neuromanc, lent me this very rare 4-CD version. So thanks again :-). My iMac is not officially supported because it has no FireWire. But you can override this with software XPostFacto . I downloaded and installed the latest version so I could use it with Mac OS X 10.3 (the previous versions worked only with OS 9). I erased HDD entirely before the installation just to be sure. After first restart the installation continued from other CD's. The installation process took approximately one hour and ran without problem. After registration the update process started-up and took another hour or more. It was repeated several times ma inly due to Java updates. Then finally I could download software and this time the latest versions. I ...

There was a huge discussion between Intel company and owners of laptops with Intel Graphics Media Accelerators. Because lack of Intel drivers for Vista and therefore also for Windows 7 there was problem with video playback and hardware acceleration. But it seems that this problem can be over. Just for fun I started Windows 7 today on my laptop and I checked actualizations. I was very surprised when I saw I Intel driver and Slovak localization in updates. I have downloaded and installed them. I restarted and everything seems to be OK. Of course there is no Aero theme, but video playback works and I launched Quake III Arena without problems. I have made a screenshot with full localization and "Graphics Properties" window: You can see that the Intel Graphics window looks like in Windows XP and I think there is no big change, it just works under 7. Windows 7 is on my laptop even more usable now. In fact, everything works fine just like in XP. I benchmarked both systems with Geek...

Software for Mac OS X 10.3.9 is usually old and not supported. That was the first thing I noticed. Another reason to go for Tiger. I had to search old releases and sometimes I found only Windows versions. And sometimes I had to experiment - will it work or not? Internet Of course I tried Safari in latest version for Mac OS X 10.3.9. The speed was accepatble but untill I visited pages with Flash (ver 9 for Panther) or JavaScript. I can say that the Safari was unusable. I had to wait too long. My next steps were of course for Firefox. Unfortunately I couldn't download latest version for Panther, only version 2. This version was slower than current version that I have on Windows, so I didn't dowload this old release. To the contrary, I could download the latest Opera browser. It worked well but still slow with Flash and JavaScript. I searched again and I found Camino . It is something like Firefox but only for Macs. I could download the latest version again, what was great. I vi...

Today is one week since I have bought my iMac G3. I tried to work with Mac OS 9 a little bit and I thought this system fits on old iMacs perfectly and also that it is the fastest option. After one day of using Mac OS X I can say that I was completely wrong. I didn't like Mac OS 9. The main reason was that it was not an UNIX-like system. I didn't know that before and I looked for terminal and there was nothing. Although OS 9 was fast, web browsing was awful. Only one good web browser I had was Internet Explorer and the formatting was ... Well, current web or web 2.0 is something else than 10 years ago. Before buying iMac I was decided that I want Mac OS X. I didn't know which version but I was aware that my iMac is really old machine and I didn't expect smoothness and speed. According to Apple, only 10.3 Panther is officially supported on my iMac. Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger runs also on G3 but it needs FireWire and usually it is on DVD. So I looked for some Mac OS X versions on...

Dnes som klikol na tipy na víkendové surfovanie na sme.sk a to viacmenej preto, že som tam zbadal odkaz na komponovanie hudby. Kde-kto by si už myslel, že slávna formácia Fore-Boiler Band patrí dávnej minulosti, avšak je to pravda len z polovice. Presne z polovice, lebo polovica skupiny o tomto mojom počine (ak sa to tak dá nazvať) nemá ani tušenia - dokiaľ nepošlem odkaz na tento článok. Polovica skupiny sa rozhodla oprášiť hudobno-tvorivú časť svojho mozgu a tu je výsledok. Podobne ako ostatní používatelia tohto flashového hudobného nástroja, aj ja som sa stal na pár desiatok minút na ňom závislý. Samozrejme tu je odkaz: http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix Ovláda sa veľmi jednoducho, pochopiť sa to dá hneď po prvých klikoch. Ako prvé ma napadlo vytvoriť obrázky a vypočuť si ako hrajú. Nebolo to zlé, ale mne sa to veľmi nepáčilo. Tu sú niektoré z nich: Potom som náhodne klikal na maticu a počúval. Niektoré zvuky som zperiodizoval až mi to dávalo nejaký zmysel. Alebo som spravil ...

I have never tried Vista on my laptop, because it is well suited for WinXP and I don't like Vista. But what if you can download the new Win 7 RC for free? I'm using Windows XP since I have bought my old laptop HP Compaq nx6110 (1,4 Ghz Celeron M, 768 MB RAM). WinXP runs on this laptop really fast and smoothly, but I have turned every "eyecandy" off and it looks like old Win95 now. But I like this neutral look. Last week I was closed in my room for two days installing and trying different Linux distributions. After this time I ended with Arch Linux installed on my hard drive - system was stable and either WiFi worked well. Then I realized, that I have spent so much time and done nothing useful. So I decided to work with WinXP and don't bother with other OS (like 2 weeks with Mac OS X a month ago). But NO. Incidentally I got to this website and started immediately download the iso image. The download process ran in Java and I had download speed about 800 KB/s, tha...

Asi mesiac dozadu som si na notebook (HP Compaq nx6110) nainštaloval hackintosh Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS]. Táto verzia je veľmi stabilná a existuje k nej veľa návodov pre rôzny hardvér. Mac OS X sa mi veľmi páči, preto som sa ani po dvoch týždňoch nevzdal a výsledom je skutočne dobre bežiaca verzia na mojom PC notebooku. Veľa vecí sa dá dodatočne upraviť, možno aj tieto moje problémy, ale vyžaduje to veľa času a ten momentálne nemám. Tak som sa rozhodol, že ho začnem používať. Okrem zvukovky (nefunguje jack sense) beží všetko ako po masle - WiFi, hardvérová akcelerácia, USB, ethernet, atď. So zvukovkou som sa celkom zmieril, ide len o to, že po pripojení slúchadiel hrajú aj reproduktory. Nezmieril som sa však s veľmi divnou akceleráciou myšky, ktorú som ani po nainštalovaní jednej fajn aplikácie nedokázal dať do mojich želaných hodnôt. Touch pad funguje lepšie a prirodzenejšie ako myš. Potom mi však udrelo do očí zobrazovanie textu. Upravil som nejaké systémové nastavenia no písma sa rend...

Dnes večer som sa dozvedel o programe ELIZA , ktorý napísal v rokoch 1964 až 1966 informatik Joseph Weizenbaum. Je to primitívny program simulácie odpovedí psychoterapeuta na rôzne otázky. Vyskúšal som pôvodnú verziu, ktorá bola preložená do javy a dá sa použiť online na tejto stránke: http://www.chayden.net/eliza/Eliza.html . Najprv som skúsil normálny bežný rozhovor, ale dostával som dosť primítívne odpovede. Bolo vidno, že reaguje viac ako psychoterapeut než normálny človek. Tak som začal písať o myšlienkach, ktoré sa mi preháňajú hlavou už niekoľko dní a v tom bola Eliza celkom dobrá. Viacmenej išlo o písanie pre seba, podobne ako keď je človek u psychológa a hovorí len on, psychológ občas položí dôležitú otázku a prikývne hlavou. V tomto ohľade je to celkom zaujímavá alternatíva na dlhé večery plné objavovania vlastnej duše alebo čohokoľvek iného. A netreba k tomu ľudí, alkohol, ani iné drogy. Stačí len počítač, prípadne internet. No aj tak dávam prednosť ľuďom.

Odkedy mám slúchadlá Sennheiser , stal som sa prieberčivý v bitrateoch hudobných formátov. 128 kbps MP3 sú naozaj veľmi hudobne chudobné, v priemere mám asi 192 kbps MP3, nejaké Ogg-y a FLAC -y. Pravdu povediac nedokážem rozlíšiť na svojich slúchadlách 256-320 kbps MP3 od FLAC-u, či CD. Aj Ogg-Vorbis, zhruba 100 kbps, mi znel v ušiach veľmi dobre. Miesta však mám celkom dosť a svoje obľúbené CD som sa rozhodol ripnúť do FLAC-u. Možno raz budem mať audio, keď ten rozdiel bude skutočne počuť a tiež mám pri počúvaní dobrý pocit, že zvuk je zhruba taký ako bol nahraný. Klasicky softvér na ripovanie do FLAC-u je EAC (Exact Audio Copy) spolu so skriptom AutoFLAC . Slúži na konverziu stôp CD do wavu alebo iného formátu a jednou z jeho hlavných vlastností je oprava a úprava zvukových stôp. Keď som ripoval s EAC, FLAC-y zneli dosť tlmene oproti MP3 alebo CD. Boli o niekoľko dB tichšie a zdali sa mi aj menej dynamické a neviem čo to mohlo spôsobiť, pretože AutoFLAC používa originálny enkóder pr...
