I hate it when people like you put AGW in there like it belongs. It doesn't, it has much less work done with it and is a long way from the rigor of the other examples. The models still have plenty of gaps and there are some pretty massive error bars in the whole thing. The idea you are not even allowed to be skeptical is also quite laughable, and a strong indication that its more politics than science.
There is a *lot* of evidence the universe is finite. The further back/away we look we see younger and younger galaxies at a different stage of their evolution. They *look* different and match predictions.
Having worked for telecommunications companies on and off for the last 15 years. I assure you that a attack on BGP will not even take down the internet for long, let alone the core backbone telecommunication networks that internet and phone calls run over. Also a significant number of companies lease their own "links" for their own networks. Yes its all moving over to IP these days, but IP runs on top of real hardware that is not going to fall over that easily and still has leased "subnets".
And IMO either is a stupid thing to do. Commodity OS on Commodity hardware does not belong in critical systems on a ship/power station/emergency call center. Its just the wrong tool for the job.
Why would this system need to be running something as complex and insecure as a web browser? Its a critical system, it sure as hell shouldn't be running through a web browser, and there is no other reason to permit one on the system.
Are you saying that windows *still* needs to be rebooted after an update? I know a kernal update needs a reboot in any OS, but those updates are pretty rare and most of the rest, if not all the rest should be updateble without a reboot.
But then again the system should be able to handle machines getting rebooted without taking the system off line. Hell many web servers are set up that way.
Not police... Lawyers with law suites. Will you pay for the legal fees and most importantly, lost time for everyone to "not care about the legal issues"? They have happened.
You know people use to same the same thing about using napster.
The core JPEG spec is *license free*. That was the requirement when they developed the spec. There is a "license required" part, but it is almost never used and practically unsupported.
My understanding this that iOS needs something that is not even H.264 baseline, but some "apple base line". I recall which part of baseline causes issues, but its clear at least in practice that 100% still has issues on some phones.
The biggest cost however is not the fee. Its the contract you have to sign to pay the fee. Redistribution will never be permitted no matter what you pay. For Bluray decoders etc, they force compliance of zones etc. There is *nothing* stopping MPEG-LA including DRM provisions in future versions of the contract.
MPEG-LA don't indemnify anyone either. It is even in your contract you have to sign, that other patents that may come up, are between you and the patent holder and you *can't* bring MPEG-LA into it. It has happened to MPEG-LA license holders, it hasn't happened to theora and co.
So your telling me that now i can't watch if i use Linux? Why should i be forced to apple/windows crap because you want to force me to pay corporations for codecs?
I have to admit that i always felt like the tools for the embedded products were stuck in the 70s as far as user experience goes. Its was crazy how much setup some of these things needed should have been in the installer in the first place. Its not like it was free software.

You don't get a extra dollar a year. You get just an extra dollar. Just once....

You still don't quite get it. I *don't* want small. I find small too useless to do anything really useful, at which point, whats the point?
Many of us don't want small. We want battery life.
Well you don't even need to get that fancy. I though that this is what a Circulator was for.

Yea, all those food orders will have to be done by phone. Oh noes, the horror.
If they don't put up flag on US soil, the only US flags anyone would see, would be on fire. The US needs some PR.
Picking an OS with less virus in the wild is a good idea... Regardless of *why* there are less.

And simply making a claim about someone being ignorant of something, without providing a shred of evidence to back it up..
But you said
H.264 has no "patent issues"...
That is 100% ignorance.
What part of *force* verses *choice* can't you understand?

Your ignorance of the legal issues patents cause in this situations does not remove these issues.

Non of the MPEG standards are open by this definition either.

The rest of us do have to care about the *legality* of what we do.
