I'm trying to figure out how to improve the speed of transferring photos from my Compact Flash
memory cards to my Mac and where the bottleneck is located. After some googling I came across
Xbench (freeware/donationware)
which has a "disk test" function. I don't understand all the different values, but can still see
that it's way slower than I expected.
My system consists of the following:
- 15" PowerBook G4 (1.67GHz, 1.5GB RAM, MacOS 10.4.11)
- internal Seagate ST9808211A (80GB ATA) hard drive
- external Firewire 800 hard drive (OWC
Mercury Elite AL Pro enclosure with Samsung HD400LD (400GB ATA hard drive))
- Box2s USB 2.0 multi card reader
- Sandisk 1GB Ultra II Compact Flash memory card
- PCMCIA to Compact Flash card adapter (plugged into the PowerBook's PCMCIA slot)
- Xbench 1.3
This is what I've read about transfer speeds and what to expect:
- The USB 2.0 card-reader should be able to transfer up to 480 MB/sec
- Firewire 800 should be able to transfer up to 800 MB/sec
- the Sandisk Ultra II CF memory card series have a read speed up to 10 MB/sec and a write speed of
9 MB/sec
Now here are the results from Xbench's "disk test":
1. USB 2.0 card reader with Sandisk Ultra II 1GB Compact Flash memory card:
2. Next, the same 1GB Sandisk Ultra II CF card is inserted into the Powerbook's PCMCIA slot via a
generic PCMCIA to CF adapter:
3. Here's the results of my PowerBook's internal 80GB ATA hard drive:
4. Finally, here's my external Firewire 800 hard drive connected to the PowerBook's Firewire 800
port:
Can someone explain these results and where the problem might lie?
Is there an elite group of Black Ops agents able to wage clandestine war with the specially trained
psychic power of their minds? Being able to strike and hit people, set them on fire, and blow up
buildings with just the power of one's mind has long since been the staple of many a horror and
science-fiction movie, but the reported power behind such abilities is apparently real. We do know
as a fact of historical record, (from now declassified agency documents), that the U.S. government
experimented with MK-Ultra mind control as well as Remote Viewing technologies. A portion of these
experiements involved people using the power of their minds to move objects, as specialized systems
of controlled mental projection and its ability to physically alter the material world were
developed. This power of the mind is called Telekinesis (TK) or Psychokinesis (PK).
Psychokinesis is the ability to move? and affect people, places and things with just the mind,
through a kind of preternatural remote-control. The term itself is from two Greek words, psycho (
mind), and kinesis? (motion). But regardless of what it's called, this frightening uncanny ability
of the mind to affect and move matter, time, space, and energy without physical touch has long
since been one of the more controversial subjects in the paranormal world.

Film américain - Genre : Drame, Historique
Durée : 2h 40min
Synopsis :
Dans la nuit du 5 septembre, un commando de l'organisation palestinienne Septembre Noir
s'introduit dans le Village Olympique, force l'entrée du pavillon israélien, abat deux
de ses occupants et prend en otages les neuf autres. 21 heures plus tard, tous seront morts, et
900 millions de téléspectateurs auront découvert en direct le nouveau visage du
terrorisme.
Après avoir refusé tout compromis avec les preneurs d'otages, le gouvernement de Golda
Meir monte une opération de représailles sans précédent, baptisée
"Colère de Dieu". Avner, un jeune agent du Mossad, prend la tête d'une équipe de
quatre hommes, chargée de traquer à travers le monde onze représentants de
Septembre Noir désignés comme responsables de l'attentat de Munich. Pour mener à
bien cette mission ultra secrète, les cinq hommes devront vivre en permanence dans
l'ombre...

Les soins colorants LOGONA sont des colorations
pour cheveux entièrement naturelles, certifiées par le BDIH, essentiellement
à base de composants végétaux et minéraux (henné de culture
biologique contrôlée, des feuilles, des fruits et des écorces en mouture
ultra-fine) combinés avec des matières actives comme la protéine de
blé et l’huile de jojoba.
Ils colorent durablement les cheveux, la coloration ne part pas au premier lavage.
Cependant, l’action des soins colorants et la durabilité de la coloration
dépend de vos cheveux : ils agissent comme un voile et tiennent donc compte de la couleur
de base mais aussi de la structure et de la santé de vos cheveux. Les temps de pose ne
seront donc pas les mêmes selon les cas et les résultats par conséquent tout
à fait personnalisés.
Les soins colorants LOGONA permettent :
- d’apporter des reflets : dorés, cuivrés, rouges
- de couvrir les cheveux blancs de manière nuancée, sans effet racine. Il faut
savoir que même après la coloration, les cheveux blancs restent plus clairs que la
couleur d’origine. Donc plus il y a de cheveux blancs plus le résultat obtenu est
clair
- de foncer de 2-3 tons maximum en une seule application mais ne permettent en aucun cas
d’éclaircir les cheveux. Avec plusieurs applications successives, il est possible de
foncer jusqu’à 6 tons.
La coloration
naturelle végétale est semi-permanente, au bout de 6 à 8 semaines, ses
reflets s’atténuent, juste avant l’apparition de l’effet racine.
Il existe 10 nuances différentes : du blond doré lumineux au noir profond, et les
poudres peuvent également se mélanger entre elles pour créer d’autres
nuances.

Earlier this week
Gefen announced a $700 replacement for an HDMI cord based on ultra-wideband chips from
startup TZero. Yes, a $700 replacement for a $43 cable. Did I tell you it was wireless? That it
will deliver uncompressed HD content to the TV over 20 meters? Maybe that will make you rush on
over to Best Buy, but my guess is that the majority of consumers will hold back, hoping that the
price will go down. And that means most of the multiple flavors of wireless HD video transfer are
in trouble, as are the companies behind them.
The startups hoping to
make their chips the star of the wireless HD revolution have two huge problems to overcome.
The first is that there are too many different standards all trying to do the same thing, which
could
confuse consumers. The second is that the costs associated with buying wireless HD equipment
are astronomical, which could alienate consumers. In addition to the pricing example with UWB
chips above, televisions containing Amimon chips using the WHDI wireless HD standard so far
cost about $875 more
than their counterpart TVs without the chips.
There’s not much anyone can do about the multiple standards and hordes of chip firms
attacking the market, but the pricing issue could be tackled by giving up on the
marketing trope of pushing uncompressed wireless HD. The content arriving in your home via
Blu-Ray, the web or your cable box is already compressed making it kind of silly to uncompress it
before it reaches the display, where it is normally uncompressed. Transcoding and encoding the HD
content just to send it in an uncompressed format adds a higher cost to the chips, as does the
processing power needed to handle all those uncompressed bits quickly.
Push the prices down to a more reasonable level and then consumers will undoubtedly fork over a
premium for wireless technology. As more do so, the chips become cheaper to produce, lowering
costs further. Then all we have to do is figure out if we want UWB, Wi-Fi, WirelessHD or WHDI equipment to
enable wireless video.

Pour fêter dignement la sortie de Final Fantasy IV sur DS, voici un nouveau sondage qui vous
permettra de vous exprimer sur cet énième remake du légendaire
quatrième opus sorti sur Super Nes en 1991. Un titre que les petits européens que
nous sommes n'avaient découvert que dans la compilation Final Fantasy Anthology sortie en
2002 sur la première Playstation. Entièrement refait en 3D par le studio Matrix
Software et agrémenté des quelques petites nouveautés, ce remake DS
convaincra-t-il les fans de la vieille école et les nouveaux amateurs du genre ? A vos clics
!Final Fantasy IV enfin disponible ... :1) Déjà acheté2) Je me tâte3)
J'ai la version GBA donc non4) Marre des remakes5) Un jour en occasion6) Ce jeu ne m'interesse pas
Résultats du précédent sondage : Le jeu que vous attendez sur Wii, c'est...
(Total des votes 760)Contre-coup d'un E3 pas loin d'être castastrophique ou réel
ras-le-bol devant le manque de nouveaux titres pour "core gamer", la liste composée par nos
soins n'a guère suscité de louanges de votre part. Ainsi plus de 38 % d'entre vous
n'y ont pas trouvé satisfaction (réponse : Beurk, quelle liste de merde !). Le
premier titre a tirer son épingle du jeu est MadWorld (22,6 %) suivi de Red Steel 2 (12,2 %)
et de Wario Land Shake It ! (9,7 %), laissant les Wii Music et autres Wii Sports Resort sur le
carreau en compagnie d'un Dead Rising peut-être jugé déplacé sur une Wii
nettement moins puissante que la Xbox 360. Un vote qui semble en tout cas justifier les espoirs
placés par Sega dans le beat them all ultra-violent de Platinum Games, même si
manifestement vous attendez autre chose. Un petit Zelda peut-être ?
