  1. Re:Not right, but there's a real reason on Thailand Cracks Down On Twitter, Facebook, Etc. · · Score: 1

    Evey thing you've said not only doesn't make sense, it's compete lies. The kind of lies that the government is trying to censor.

    1) ASTV is affiliated with the "yellow shirts" which has their own political party.
    2) The government is currently a democrat government which isn't in anyway related to the yellow shirt's political party
    3) ASTV is a privately owned satellite TV channel which almost no one has and isn't free to receive

    CEO of CAT telecom was kindnapped wich turned out to be a lie.

    and you're spilling some bullshit yourself. A fuckton of red shirt protesters turn up at his office and tell him to "come with us". Yeah, it's not kidnapping because he "willingly went" (so he says).

    The generals are the ones that sent the army against the protesters recently, killing 20 or so of them. Ahh but they claim they didn't use live bullets, then they claimed they did, but shot over the crowd, then it was 'terrorists' that did it.

    So who are these 20 people that were killed?

    Well 5 were soldiers that were killed from gunshot wounds by the protesters that you're so quick to label as "protesters".

    Lets see, what other bullshit are you spreading... oh the "crack down on free speech". You mean like your free speech? It seems to be more a crackdown on lying in my opinion. One which you demonstrate necessary so well.

    Who are these protesters and what are they doing? Well they're the loud minority who want the old corrupt prime minister back in power so they can receive rewards for doing so. They have been paid to protest and there are videos on them proving it. Not that it needs proving because no one denies it.

    They've done nothing but cause violence since they came to bangkok. Just go on youtube and type "red shirt violence" and see for yourself.

  3. Re:Hardly apples and oranges on Thailand Cracks Down On Twitter, Facebook, Etc. · · Score: 1

    Almost correct. It is the protestors that are firing live rounds at the police. I suggest everyone to read more about the situation that happened a few days ago where a lot of police and bystanders were killed by protesters that refused to stop blocking the streets.

    A lot of police have died because the protest leaders can't control their more violent members. However that doesn't mean they're not to blame since they've been lying to their followers about the government.

    The whole protest is about getting the old prime minister (who is currently living outside the country to escape a 2 year prision sentence for corruption) back into power. You'll notice they mention democracy however it's total bullshit. The current prime minister sat down with the protest leaders and offered them an election in 9 months.

    Also this isn't the first time these protestors have been so violent they were burning buses last april too.

    So is it bad that the government doesn't want these assholes spreading their bullshit across the internet? Juding from the one sided summary, no.

    Lets see how much cheaper his plan is once Russia jacks up their prices for getting into LEO and the US has no alternative. Once you disband these programs you can't decide later on to just start them back up. If Obama's plans fail then the US will have to invest huge sums of money to get back to where NASA currently is.

  5. Re:That's not at all true on Google to Open Source the VP8 Codec · · Score: 1

    Two of the most expensive devices aren't "most devices", the GP is correct here and a lot of the cheap devices don't support h.264.

    Most devices don't have hardware h.264 decoding and why should they? A codec should not need a dedicated chip to work around its bloated resource hogging design.

  6. Re:Hurrah! on Google to Open Source the VP8 Codec · · Score: 1

    H.264 Needs hardware support because it's a CPU intensive codec. Codecs such as Theora don't require hardware support because it is a simpler codec, hence it has the ability to run on more devices then H.264 does.

    You're right that end users don't care about what codec the video users, that's the web developers job. So as a web developer what do I choose?

    H.264 only which would work on only devices with Hardware support and not in firefox.
    Theora which would work on all devices with software support, firefox and even IE with the java applet to play Theora.

    Or Perhaps a combination of the two. H.264 with Theora fall back using HTML5's video tag.

  7. Re:Hurrah! on Google to Open Source the VP8 Codec · · Score: 1

    Don't be so sure. Things change quickly in web development and the majority of web developers care more about openness of the tools they use. If VP8 is seen to be as good as H.264 then you should expect a lot of projects to switch over very quickly.

  8. Re:Hurrah! on Google to Open Source the VP8 Codec · · Score: 4, Informative

    No one is forcing you to provide video in Theora. The idea is that you provide Theora as a fallback, the last resort. It doesn't matter if it's out dated or if H.264 is better quality. It's suppose to be the last resort. The video tag gives you the ability to specify different videos in case the browser can't load the first one you provided.

    H.264 is CPU intensive compared to Theora. Theora doesn't need hardware support because it's a simple codec which can be run in software even on mobile devices. Google is already sponsoring an effort to get the Theora codec running on ARM which makes this more practical. Theora even runs on IE via a java applet so it's widely supported compared to H.264.

  16. Re:you don't go to heaven at the moment you die on Science Attempts To Explain Heaven · · Score: 1

    You call these logical? This is a joke right? It's complete nonsense that doesn't prove anything.

    1- All things move but something must have started moving first. That thing is god. No reasons given. IT JUST IS. Doesn't sounds very logical to me. I mean I guess you could be calling the big bang "god", but that's not exactly proof of some higher intelligence of deity.

    2 - Same as the first except this time it's about making stuff instead of moving. Again it ignores a whole lot of what we know about the universe.

    3 - Makes a bad assumption with no proof about how the universe works to back up its second illogical point.

    4 - Announces a new measurement for "goodness". The God measurement. I'm not quite sure how this works. Maybe if you're a good person you're said to be 5 gods good and if you kill someone you're -1 gods.

    5 -Not even sure what the fuck this is talking about. Far too abstract for my tastes.

    If this is the best you can do at proving the existence of a god then I submit this as evidence that proves god doesn't exist. This is totally pathetic.
