Not just that, i'd like to be able to cache a whole hour of a show on my mobile device so that I could get most of the show on a fast wifi connection and then when I'm sitting in traffic (NOT DRIVING) with the carpool and the cell network is clogged I can watch what I cached.

I've only seen very little coverage of this, but it would not be very hard for NK to launch a modified nuke to detonate high in the atmosphere causing an EMP pulse to take out the electronics of most of the south, and a good part of Japan and China.
Now you might be thinking that this would be bad for NK as well, but you think about it, it would level the playing field in the short term considerably. Yes, the U.S. could still fly bombers from across the ocean and maybe to sorties from carriers (if they aren't affected by the EMP blast).
In the meantime a couple of million NK troops with basic gear could flood across the border while U.S. and South Korean forces would be left to their basic non-electronic gear.
Yea, makes the ROI on having that conference in Austin pretty incredible.
Seems kinda strange to choose that city though, given how much hi-tech it already is. I don't live in San Francisco but it seems if they wanted to impress the digirati SF would of been a better choice than Austin.
Yahoo was useful way back BECAUSE it's directory was human organized and validated. If I wanted a list of sites about computer hardware I could navigate their index to find a bunch of sites they've found. It was a meta bookmark system managed by humans.
Given how widespread H.264 hardware implementations are and the fact that blu-ray does not have H.265 I'd expect to see adoption first in the video conferencing world (SIP, H.323....CISCO/Tandberg, Polycom, etc)
For real time encoding H.265 can provide 30% reduction of bandwidth at the same bitrate. Transcoded content like what you might do at home will get some benefit but not as much as the real time stuff (streaming will benefit a lot too)
Sure, but the petition will probably go to NASA for an explanation as to why they aren't seriously pursuing it. I'd like to see that explanation, just for my own scientific and engineering curiosity.
That being said, I'd MUCH rather use something that's better documented. SAMBA is used on all sorts of linux enabled media servers and the fact of the matter is it does not always work. Especially with other systems that are trying to implement SMB/CIFS like my Mac (no longer SAMBA from Apple) or media servers with differing versions of SAMBA the result is often buggy or something not working at all.
"Democracy is just an insurance against the bad dictator."
Really? Then it's not very good insurance. Germany and France both had democracies before dictatorship. They were voted into power. Caesar was as well.
Democracy does not equal Freedom. One has nothing to do with the other. People have historically been quite willing to vote themselves or others into less freedom.
The only method for inhibiting the concentration of power over time is to distribute it among competing parties. Even that does not stop it, only slows it. James Madison had the right idea, but even he didn't say this was the ultimate solution.
Why does Google HAVE to let Windows phone in? It may not be good marketing, but youtube is definitely not a monopoly. If they want to exclude Windows phone from having the same bells and whistles as Android and Iphone users why shouldn't they have the right to block them?
While they are at it let's install fart receptacles so that when a person feels a toot coming on they can plop their own asses on a hole to capture the methane for power plant use.....
Granted I'm sure SOMEBODY somewhere has gotten fired for choosing Microsoft, but from my perspective one of the big problems in government (where I work) is that there is almost ZERO risk to choosing whatever MS happens to sell, even if it's horrible.
If you stick your neck out and choose something like Google Apps and it goes south all the fingers point at you. If on the other hand you choose Office 365 and things don't work out you can EASILY just point the finger at Microsoft and say "It's Microsoft and Windows, not my fault).
Slashdot Mirror
It's Google's infrastructure. THAT's how big.
If I had to guess, youtube is just another app sitting on their distributed whatever it is.

Yea Rocks clusters has been using a modified version of bittorrent to re-install nodes in a cluster for years.

That may be the BEST way.
But largely it's ineffective.

Uh....Kansas City was the first city they rolled out? Where have you been? On a desert island?

He's dead. His presidency is already considered a colossal failure.
If you want to dig up his bones, stomp on them and laugh...go for it. But HE will not care one way or another.
"Because CDs aren't digital."
Uh..yes, they are.
Yahoo was useful way back BECAUSE it's directory was human organized and validated. If I wanted a list of sites about computer hardware I could navigate their index to find a bunch of sites they've found. It was a meta bookmark system managed by humans.
If that was still around I'd still use it.
It just depends WHICH regulations depending on WHICH of their friends they want to benefit.

Case in point, their site has crashed due to load.
Provide official torrents instead of trashing torrents in general.
Is there a link to a story somewhere? The links in the story don't talk about DHS at all.

It works well when it's Windows to Windows or Windows to a stable version of SAMBA that is fairly modern.
It's flakey between mixed hosts of Mac, Windows and Linux systems (like media servers) that are on different versions SAMBA.

My wife would agree. Every time she hears unique modified I have to deal with her ranting in the living room for 10 minutes. :(

If that were true than MySQL would of never been able to make money...
How very well stated.
I can see them going for the Kickstarter project, but going for Kickstarter itself?
Yea, great business model. Piss off nerds that use a HUGELY popular web site. [sarcasm]
