... it was a bad idea when microsoft did it (infuriating, even if it wasn't a security problem, even back in 1995), and now the noob idiots pushing current desktop environment development (which seems to have peaked and gone downhill in about 2004) seem determined to replicate every bad idea and fuckup of windows until linux is just as unworkable.
People run linux because of retarded shit like that on Windows. Don't replicate the problem.
There are well over 100 million ios devices out there. Whatever percentage of the mobile device market that is, its still a significant market in its own right.
Forget that it is fox for a second, and look at the big picture. Cheap magazine subscriptions wihtout needing to get them in the post or making a trip to the news agency = win.
Newscorp crap notwithstanding, this sort of thing is imho the "killer app" that the ipad has been waiting for.
And whether it does it in hardware or not, the way NAT works requires a table of port:internal IP mappings - whether it is in hardware or software. Eventally you run out of ports/table space - there are only a limited number of ports.
And refusing to use OS provided codecs, instead shipping your own copy in your app, makes the system less secure as now you have multiple copies of the SAME DAMN CODEC to patch, if a vulnerability is found.
And more to the point - I'd much PREFER the browser(s) to use system codecs. Why? Because it reduces vulnerability exposure. If there's a bug found in codec X, replacing the system codec fixes the problem for everything, rather than having to replace the system codec, and each and every other app on the system that uses their own native bugged copy of it.
And it will be handled, as it always has been, by a free plug-in for the 1% of ogg video out there. If people even care enough to bother. The alternative, of not being able to play 90%+ of online video with no h.264 support is far less palatable.
Unfortunately, the above is 100% true. NO ONE CARES beyond a fringe monitority that the codec they are viewing or encoding their stuff in legally (via their camera, etc) is patent encumbered or not. "Free" (as in freedom) is not good enough to make 99.9% of people care, if the superior alternative is free as in beer. And doubly so if it means they need to re-encode all their content, and lose the ability to play patent encumbered media in their browser.
The free alternatives will need to be BETTER as well to get the majority to give a shit enough to switch. A browser that can't play huge amounts of content will be considred BROKEN by end users, whether or not it is patent free or not is irrelevant to them.
I resisted for ages, however if you have friends out there in real life it is convenient to use to keep track of what they're up to and also to let your friends know about events and keep track of invites etc.
Its a tool. If you use it badly it can do bad things. Like a bandsaw or a hammer. If you use it appropriately it can help make things simple.
If they want to do a shitty port, they do. If they want to make it cross platform and actually decent, you separate the UI code and use #defines for native toolkit for platform.
OH yeah it would definitely be a monitor limitation in your case. Pretty sure most recent half-decent cards should support 2536x1440 or whatever it is if given an appropriate monitor to output to.
Yup. Elitebook 8540p with the full-hd screen. Desktop replacement, i use it in combination with a 24" 1920x1200 monitor for work. Moving forward, 1920x1080 will be the standard on desktops/desktop replacement notebooks, as hd video takes off.
Its probably NOT. But letting logic and reason come into the discussion won't really support the new government censorship button. That we'll only use to PROTECT YOU from the bad guys. RIght?

They're fully contained within that 0.1% of the general internet using public not covered in my above post.

All this poo pooing sounds familiar

I'm sure you and the other 1% of the browser using population who think that way are outraged.

Source to pro-level tools/hardware that generates VP8 content without rooting around wasting time/cpu re-encoding my h.264 plz

If you can find any significant quantity of ogg only content on the internet, i'm sure that someone will find a reason to support it.
No, i'm also talking about cisco gear. Do "show ip nat translations". Thats a NAT state table by another name. Do you know how NAT works?
Routers that do NAT have state tables to maintain which port maps back to which internal ip address.
That and the fact that ISP routers will run out of state table space and CPU.

KDE4 was also not available at the time the movie was set in.
If thats the case, install ubuntu. Using a mac to run non-cocoa apps is kinda killing a lot of the real point of using the mac.
No, they don't HAVE to.

You realise your cell based internet is running off the regular internet backbone from the cell tower you are peered with less than 30km away or so?

Seems to work for the us government? Oh wai....
you already don't have a bill of rights any more.
