MPEG2 as a whole is a pretty good spec and is versitile enough to handle many future extentions - the Mpeg2 Systems specification (transport stream) can and is used as is to deliever H.264 content. No change what so ever. Mpeg 4 Pt 10 did not exist - sorry that they did not require a crystal ball as well as MPEG2, but such is life. However MPEG2 was able to accomidate it when it came along.
So, thanks the Powers that "they" had the foresight to adopt a scalable standard like MPEG2.
I like MPEG2. I just finished reading the spec (13818-1 and -2:2000 - yes my head is STILL spinning weeks later as anyone who has actually read them will know what I mean) - and I tell you that MPEG2 is a work of art.
Not precisely true. They were selected beause they were good pilots, as well as good scientists, as well as good athletes... quick thinkers... cool headed... great engineers.... competant mathematicians... conversant astronomers.... ad nauseum.
Well, if we are going to SciFi power sources, then I perfer to hold out for fusion (hot or cold), or perhaps a device that sucks out all of the static electricity in the atmosphere and harnesses that.

>> Even a good HD source such as a CGI movie likes to gain a whole lot of noise and artifacts at this stage.
One would think the concepts of checksum, parity, and forward error correction has eluded the manufacturers of the tape drives you mention.
On some Intel based systems with dual processors, enabling hyperthreading is a half assed way to emulate a 4 processor system.
Ha. Haha. HahahahahawhawhawHAWHAWHAWHAW.
Sorry. (Sniff. Heehee.)
Well, they'd like you to think so anyway.
Or its old friend, "ytrewq".
But there is the ever popular "qpwoeiruty"
But I prefer "qwertie"
Dats a gude vun!
If you really think the "top leaders of the world" really give a shit about people then you are sadly mistaken.
They will bomb the living hell out of the population. Throw them in gulags, build extermination camps. They will ethnically cleanse the populace.
But they won't tell them the truch about Martians out of concern that the people might get scared and hurt themselves.
Uh huh.

...just went right down the toilet.
Oh well.
That's my guess.
Afer all until 5 minutes ago, it served me well on Slashdot for >10 years (or hgowever long I have had this account).
Adter all, "ILoveGoATSex100Times@nighT"... well... what can he say?
Use whatever style you want. It is getting pp'ed before commit, however.
Other than that, the rules are minimal: no Hungrarian notation. No all capital identifiers.
Carry on.

"Only a fool would think that an attractive chinese women in chinese disco is not going to go to bed the first night with a westerner.
Yes, her attractiveness is pertinent, along with her bra size. Also, if she shaved it clean.
And, you are gay.
Carry on.
Face facts: there are bigger assholes in the world than Americans... namely the Chinese.
But I gotta admit: the Chinese spying techniques "blow" the US methods away.
VLC will play them.
MPEG non-proprietary?
MPEG2 maybe, but only because the patents have died.
Think before you post.
and the sites must also be on a beach.
Hell, they are going to be actively seeking out these uber rich pockets of energy, that we have the gall (or stupidity) to call waste.
I knew it couldn't last. Oh well. There is always FreeBSD.
Tell that to Boeing workers on the 767 assembly line who will get laid off if EADS wins the aerial tanker re-re-compete.
But at some point when the only opporunity for US workers is the war machine... does anyone really wonder why we maintain a constant state of war?
Defense jobs are safe - for now.
A naked motherboard with four NIC's is definately geeky. That router rules.
Hard copy or show it on your laptop.
They dont get a copy, if such is your worry.
If your code is GPL then why do you care?
