An "open format" become "open standard" when they become a standard. This is exactly what all this is about; Pushing a open format for the video standard instead of a patent encumbered one.
It dont matter if H.264 is better. The standard, the lowest common denominator, need to be free of patents and dirty licenses. Web sites and browser are free to support other codec if they want (http content negotiation). Although, free codec must be available by default.
If all browsers (except the free one) support both, we will end up in a situation where only the proprietary one will work with video because, as you said, H.264 is marginally better and will be prefered by the content publisher. Those publisher are lazy, they wont encode the video twice if Ie, Safari and Chrome support the same codec.
With Chrome and Firefox supporting exclusively WebM VP8 Vorbis and IE9 that will support both, publishers will have no choice but to use WebM by default. Ensuring that the web become more free and accesible by the most peoples.
And if it was a mistake? Years after new evidence show that he is inocent and was not the dangerous person some "expert" claim to be. Are you willing to be executed because you cause the death of a inocent person by suporting his execution?
Are you honest and rational or just a violent hypocrite?
Ostrich meat is healthier only because of the way they are raised. It will get ruined like beef meat once the industrial guys get their hand on it. eg: When it will be easy to find in America.
Smoking anything will cause that. The primary cause COPD is the smoke it self. Any study suggesting correlation with smoking weed, opposed to smoking anything, to COPD is candidate for ig nobel. Fortunately, there are healty way to consume marijuana. It can be eaten or drink as herbal infusion.
While the same is true for tobacco, it tast awful and i doubt that chewing tobacco will ever return.
Pheremones from other species dont have noticeable scent to you. You are not rigged to recognize and response to them. To each species, their pheromones has a distincive smell that provoke a specific emotional impuse to act in some way. eg: It smell attractive.
Deodorant are not natural and are merely masking the human odor. If you think natural odor smell awful, it is only because you are not use to it. Just like puritain are scandalized over the sight of a naked body. Hygiene is important, and restraining too strong odor is also important, but demanding that everyone has the same standardized "aqua fresh" scent is wrong.
I was also arguing that the US was a collapsing empire, not a expansionist one. This also imply evermore autonomy of the strongest states and challenge to be the new in power.
As always, reality is more complex then your "free" or "bitch" dichotomy. All the states are part of the political system. Some enjoy more freedom and can afford to tell them to pound sand as you said. On the other end of the spectrum, some states merely puppets.
An empire cannot remain stable under a iron fist leadership. A other age, a other way.
Subtract from that all the "americain" sounding names. To be on that list you need a weird foreign name that is hard to pronounce. You know.. something that sound like a terrorist name should. To determine who is on, this is as sophisticated as it get. After a while they will filter name right at the form and add you on the questioning list.
Union strike and protest can also damage the economy. Let put all these peoples behind bars. Who the fuck they think they are? Damaging sort term profit of the all powerful corporations!
The "for the lulz" is part of the meme, just like using the word "Anonymous" as personal name. If the target was something they supported, they would not have participate. The target is picked carefuly out of a ideology and peoples supporting the cause join the DDoS. The reasoning behine is that moral equal bigotry, and if you cannot do something for an ideology, you can only do it for your own selfish entertainment (a.k.a. "for the lulz").
This is what the Roman empire, and more recently the British empire did. They maintain "small bases" inside their protectorates to defend their interests in those countries. Like i said in a earlyer reply; Why it is so hard to belive that the British empire was replaced by the US empire?
Lol.. You think that military bases being positioned around the world is expansionist?
Read my comment again, i said it is not expansionist. The expansionsit stage is over, it is in decline now.
Empires never expand inside any countries, bringing their peoples in, they create protectorate. And this is exactly what these US foreign military base are. This is how the ancients empires expended their wealth and powers, and this is how the US grant access to his US based corporation to foreign markets and cheap labour.
In exchange of surrendering pretty much everything, the protectorates recive protection for other would-be empire (URSS), raging barbarian tribs (terrorist) and get roads(technologies, interweb?). I am not saying that this is a bad thing, i just think that denying that the US is a empire is ignorent of history. Why it is so hard to belive that the British empire was replaced by the US empire?
It was. See all the foreign military base for proof. It is true that currently, the USA is no a expansionist empire. Apogee was reach by the end of the 20th century, that empire is now in its collapse stage.
You can also view them by crossing your eyes and focusing on the middle image. It take some practice but after a while you can see the 3d faster and easyer then it would with any glasses. Eyes are muscle and like all muscle they need training to perform. I wish the 3d games and movie would be avaible in this format. It would make good use of wide screen.
Consciousness is specific to me. I am the center of the universe, for it is infinit on all sides around me.
Try prove me wrong by demonstrating your own consciousness?
Consciousness is by-product of cellular organization, chatter between cells, and that any multicellular organism has some level of consciousness. But since we can only experience ourself, it can never be proved. And until you can prove our own, you cannot disprove their. Stop downplaying non-humans creatures.
Wikileak did not violate any person's right. These documents was taken from the government, which is not a person. Governements has no right to privacy. In fact, they have a duty of transparency.
So reporting on the health issues of world leaders, who are persons, does not violate anyone's rights? Hardly.
World leaders need to declare health issue that can affect politics, or step down. And yes, if the president die, from what ever, during his mandate it will have consequence. There would not be any vice-president if that was not the case. if that such a privacy issue, why there is files about this anyway. If individual rights was violated, it was the governement that guilty.
Governement's wrong doing must be know to the public.
That is a value statement and not a statement of law or fact. I happen to agree with the statement, but it has no basis is anything.
This is fact. The public must know everything. I focus on worng doing because this is what is usualy hidden from the public. Good deed are always get extensive publicity for re-election purpose.
This is how democracy work. Leaks are important to journalists, good journalism are important to democracy. What Wikileak publish is important.
This has nothing specific to democracy, nor is the United States government a democracy (it is a republic). [...]
Democracy and republic are not mutualy exclusive.
Regardless, while leaks may be important to journalists, they are not a required for good journalism to occur. [...]
Sure, journalists just have to report what they are told to, because journalism is so great in China.
There must be a proper balance. I am not saying that Wikileaks crossed that boundary, although I suspect they have in some of their reporting (again, people's personal health histories come to mind).
Why raising FUD then? If you got real criticism(eg: more then "i suspect") please say it or just let Wikileak do its job. If they ever cross the boundary you will know. When that happen, Julian Assange will get arrested for the actual Wikileak publication, not questioned about unrelated claims in hope to discredit him. (And, leaders health issue is non-issue, see above)

Because Wikileak do not have his powers restricted by a Bill of Rights... It don't even have powers to begin with. In fact, Wikileak is not even a government. Oh wait, were you just trolling?

Also WebM is not even an open standard. It is controlled by Google. It is even less open that flash is.
Open format? Yes. Three-clause BSD license with royalty-free patent license
Less open that flash? No.

If you have weird talent it can.

You are correct, only muslim peopes are doing this. This new and immoral tactic must stop at once!
