Mustang vs Vette [video]

[TuffGuy]

Link down. Thank notfred.

 

[notfred]

I'm going to download it half a dozen times just to put more load on the server.

Edit: since he took it down:

Non-zipped link to file.

 

[Anubis]

so what a stan with nitrus beat a vett with out it

 

[PatboyX]

huzzah!

 

[Red]

I wanna see a new 5 speed stang (300hp 5speed for $24k) against a c5 vette (345hp?). Whatcha think?

 

[notfred]

HA!

 

[GprophetB]

That was awesome, made my day a lil better.

 

[preslove]

Heh, I've seen videos of Dodge Neon's out-racing Lamborginis (sp?)

 

[rh71]

yeah that was too close to call...

Anyway, I posted a Civic vs. Vette vid sometime last year...

 

[RagingBITCH]

PWN3D. That Stang was probably high 10's-low 11's.

Seriously though - what dumb fvck zips a 1mb file to save about 100kb of space?

 

[notfred]

I think I might write a script that just repreatedly downloads that video all day. I'll use it on anyone else who posts zipped videos.

 

[rh71]

what's the big deal about zipping vids ? It prevents the person from left-click-playing it directly (which I personally hate when that happens cause it saves it to cache).

I like that cause I don't have to download it, find it on the hard drive, play it, and then delete it. I can just click, and then close Media Player when the video is done.

That's fine if you don't mind all the vids sizing up your cache folder...

What I do is save everything to desktop so it's easy to locate...

 

[GasX]

Wow - that guy got owned.

Now I am going to download this file 400 times so the server gets owned too...

I have hundreds of gigs of space. What's a 1mb video file? If I ever do start running low on space, it's easy to empty the cache.

link dead?

You're assuming that this is the only file that I serve, or that this is the only forum that I share it with.

You go, boy!

Here's the script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use LWP::Simple;

my $url = 'http://www.technogeeky.com/doug_vs_vette.zip';

while (1){
my $time = time;
my $trash = get($url);
my $end = time;
my $size = length $trash;
$size /= 1024;
$size = int $size;
my $duration = $end - $time;
my $speed = "N/A";
if ($duration > 0) {
$speed = $size/$duration;
$speed = int $speed;
}
print "$size KB downloaded in $duration seconds: $speed KB/sec.\n";
}

Here's what the output looks like:

No, I'm saying I don't care if I fill up my cache with videos. I'm saying it's really inconvenient to have to unzip a stupid 1mb video to watch it. This "it puts less load on the server!" thing is crap. Compressed video barely compresses at all. This file shrunk by a whopping 9%.

Sure, of course it is. I don't like my C: filling up like that, is all. And it's usually more than 1MB each.

"Only" 9% huh? Now multiply that by however times it's downloaded and by the files that I share and it adds up.
