We're not talking about iPods, we're talking about the prevalence of a software program to convert DVDs to h264 encoded video files.
Really? Seems to me like Handbrake is very much tailored towards producing video files for Apple hardware.
I think the point is that there is NO defacto standard for ALL video production.
DVD pirates will still use AVI/divx because they are targeting DIVX-capable applicances. Handbrake is not for them.
Fansubbers prefer Matroshka for the ability to bundle several subtitle and audio streams in a single package. Handbrake is not for them.
iPod owners need MP4/h.264 because it's what their iTunes supports by default. Handbrake is really good for that.
That's what's great about standards. So many of them to choose from. So, to come back to Maestro's original comment: HandBrake is the de-facto standard for creating h.264 files on Mac, Linux and Windows systems -- MOSTLY AGREE. You won't miss that crappy, proprietary DivX. -- DISAGREE; I would miss it. Most DVD players won't play MP4s, only AVI/DIVX/XVID
(I'm not a Mac addict, I can quit anytime I want.)
Handbrake is not the front end folks are using on Windows.
Say what? When I got the iPod Touch, my MacHead friends recommended it to convert video to a format suitable for playback on iPods. I've been recommending this to anyone with a video-capable iPod.
It's got all the presets built-in for all types of iPods, so it's a 1-click no-brainer converter, and it does a good job too. Much easier than to learn some FFMPEG or Gordian Knot hairy alphabet soup.
Handbrake is not^H^H^H the front end iPod owning folks are using on Windows. FTFY.
You have a point there actually. 2 things seem to be at the forefront of the news these days:
(1) The rise of radical fundmentalist religious groups. [...] regarding situation #1, China won't put up with that shit. If Scientology had started in China this problem would have been solved and over with DECADES ago.
The trick is to use a never-written floppy, so there's only on (albeit thinner) data track laid down. If you don't have a blank floppy, try bulk erasing it. An old HDD magnet will do fine.
Once scored an old Apple ][ clone for $5 at a yard sale. Thing was fully loaded, 80column, centronics printer interface, 2 floppies... but no software.
Turned to usenet - comp.sys.apple2 - to beg for someone to mail me a DOS3.3 disk. Someone did send me a floppy over the mail. That was all I needed, I could then use an Ap2PC cable to move images back onto floppies. Maybe a slashdotter in your hometown can make you one.
FTFY.
Phrases that should appear in the torrents / PDF:
"If you like this book, send me money so I can write more."
"If you really like this book, send me plane tickets and a hotel reservation and I will come over and give a lecture for you."
Here's the thing. enterpreneur / sales is not my field. I don't think I'd ever buy your book, as it servers no purpose for me. Yet I am intrigued by the book contents and I wouldn't mind checking it out. So I could request it from my Public Library or find it on, say, the PirateBay Do you view this as a lost sale?

Just wrote one function... One last to go !
Me too! I'll send you the delete_message() I just wrote, you send me the is_spam() you wrote and I'll link them and publish the solution.
Timothy, please spell check your title.
Oh, bother.

Never mind that this guy isn't about to Osbourne Wii sales.
Ok, raise your hand everyone who got the "to Osbourne" reference without having to look it up. ;)
Firm To Drop Database, Web Server 0-Days
The verb to drop has specific meaning w.r.t. databases. A few more words in the title would have been acceptable.
Perhaps "Firm to GRANT SELECT ON database, web server 0-days TO PUBLIC"
I think we, as a community, can learn a lot from the ancient and wise game ...
If you go to the pub to gamble, you always win something.
Did Ted Klaudt rape two girls in 1997?
I have just the opposite problem. I'd like to launder my ${Criminal} Wars proceeds in FarmVille -- 1.5B$ a day VS $1 Farmville dollar a week.
So basically, they've implemented a real life version of Zynga's Mob Wars / Gang Wars / Pirates game.
Implement this as an ssh worm for jailbroken iPhones and we have a world wide free WiFi network. Thanks Microsoft!

Yes, like Falun Gong. Problem solved. Sure.

"La trappola e' una sorta di "ghigliottina a pressione" "
From my rudimentary Italian skills, sounds like exactly like it: "pressure activated guillotine"

Could the iPhone be jailbroken via SMS?
[...] a tablespoon is 1/4 of a cup, and so on and so on. Yeah, thanks but no thanks. I'll take metric any day.
Actually, 4 tablespoons are 1/4 cup. Or 1tbsp = 1/16cup. This is why we keep losing Mars orbiters...
I suggest we first define who a nerd is.
Someone who has better things to do than to try to be "popular" in school.
Also, Zoidberg's home planet gets sucked into a black hole.
Holy crap. Allow me to repeat a memorable quote from the The IT Crowd Season Episode 1:
