If you don't know what it is, then you probably don't need to worry that it's been compromised.
It's nothing to do with who needs to worry and who doesn't. It's the difference between this:
Giorgio Napolitano has appealed to political leaders for "realism, a sense of responsibility" in resolving their post-election deadlock.

You really think those SD channels are going anywhere any time soon? Even for HD, all UK satellite channels (including Sky) are 1080i, as are most others in Europe.
First, your link is broken. I fixed it in the quoting I did.
Oops... thanks.
Second, why did you bother, when all the Dr. Who from The Next Doctor onward were available in HD free-to-air in the correct frame rate?
Planet of the Dead onwards, actually - The Next Doctor has only been broadcast at SD, and is upscaled on the blu-ray. Being broadcast does not make something "available";)
There's a logo, true
There's one reason - although honestly I don't remember the original broadcasts having a logo. I've also never seen them available above 720p. Thirdly, the bitrate is a lot higher on blu-ray than from a broadcast.
Well, now, hold on just a second - interlacing can be annoying to deal with, but the fact of the matter is that it allows you to throw away half of your raw data for only a 30% (or less, with modern deinterlacers) perceptual loss of quality - that is excellent compression. Now, if someone came up with it today, they'd be rightly heckled, but because it was around for decades even before the digital era, every modern TV has a good, or in some cases excellent, deinterlacer built in, and - if your target is to be displayed on a TV - it's foolish not to take advantage of that. Targeting computers as display devices is a different matter - the same advantages can be found (NVIDIA at the least has some deinterlacers built into their cards), but certainly can't be relied upon in the same way a TV's deinterlacer can.
bad frame rate conversions undone
Here's is my adventure with same - thought it might be of some interest.
That would require real patients or a dummy/model to practice on. The latter are surprisingly expensive.
But it could be that five minutes of training on a dummy is worth five weeks of playing on the Wii. I can't tell from the article (because I only skimmed it) whether or not both groups were also undergoing any other kind of training at the same time, but the implication seems to be that they weren't. The numbers sound good, but I wonder if some follow up is required.
how do they know rats even shared information and not just random brain impulses? how do they know they used the shared information?
By doing science.
When the first, in Brazil, uses its whiskers to choose between two stimuli, an implant records its brain activity and signals to a similar device in the brain of a rat in the United States. The U.S. rat then usually makes the same choice on the same task.
FWIW, several other video producers wrote me to ask how I got such great sound without a lav
Aside from the stereo thing, it did sound very clear.
The stereo image was intentional, it's a trick for removing perceived echo/reverb by spreading it out across a stereo image instead of it all piling up right behind the voice in mono.
You just can't stop teaching people stuff, can you?;)
Can you hold the device in one hand and 1) unlock the phone, 2) type out a text message with your thumb, and 3) adjust the volume with the rocker without using your other hand? If not, you might need a smaller phone.
Gee, thanks Professor! I never coulda worked that one out for myself.
Smartphone Screen Real Estate: How Big Is Big Enough?
The answer is: Big Enough is Big Enough, the definition of which varies from person to person and is usually obvious to said person within about five minutes of trying out the phone.
They explain what triggered the alert and ask the user to sign in and confirm they received the alert. (Not admitting guilt, but at least closing off the legal defense of "I didn't know.")
If only there was some way of getting around that, like, um... not signing in and confirming you've received the alert? Yeah, that loophole's well and truly closed, well done.
For a video all about audio, why does the guy's voice keep flapping around from left speaker to right speaker? I found it pretty distracting. Next time, try a clip-on mic and mix it down to mono unless it's necessary to make a point.
publications such as the Irish News and Belfast Morning News and Shipbuilder printed detailed articles about the ship's construction and noted that "The Captain may, by simply moving an electric switch, instantly close the doors throughout and make the vessel practically unsinkable."
a White Star promotional flyer for the Olympic and Titanic... claimed "as far as it is possible to do, these two wonderful vessels are designed to be unsinkable."
Slashdot Mirror
And it later needs to be read back out, then re-encoded, and written later
They just record the original encoded stream?
See, all Slashdot had to do was put "Genital wart image storage service Evernote" and no-one'd be complaining.

Aww, you were only missing "synergy" to win Bullshit Bingo.
Not for much longer.
Not any time soon
Have you considered a career in politics? :)

It's an awkward, obsolete technology
...that's still being broadcast daily across thousands of channels all around the world...

I didn't forget. It's just utterly irrelevant to the current discussion.
progressive video just compresses better.

Popular Youtube videos... they can push the (de)compression tasks to clients so it's free lunch.
That is pretty much what h264 does already...

My cyanogen 10.1 device does all those things. What's the fuss about?
+1 Smug.

HAL letters correspond to the letters that immediately follow it alphabetically, namely, IBM.
Coincidence, according to Clarke and Kubrick.
Well, that sucks. I underestimated their evil. I also assumed an "in-browser pop-up" to be an addition to a webpage, rather than a replacement.

Area Man Constantly Mentioning He Doesn't Own a Television
For a video all about audio, why does the guy's voice keep flapping around from left speaker to right speaker? I found it pretty distracting. Next time, try a clip-on mic and mix it down to mono unless it's necessary to make a point.
But not technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
publications such as the Irish News and Belfast Morning News and Shipbuilder printed detailed articles about the ship's construction and noted that "The Captain may, by simply moving an electric switch, instantly close the doors throughout and make the vessel practically unsinkable."
a White Star promotional flyer for the Olympic and Titanic ... claimed "as far as it is possible to do, these two wonderful vessels are designed to be unsinkable."
Why the heck have I got insightful for that? It barely deserves +3 Funny, let's be honest.
