Get your head out of your ass. Mozilla is not neutral. They're sticking with Theora as hard as Apple is sticking with H.264. At least Apple has a good reason which is 50 million iPhones and iPod Touches with an H.264 decoder chip which can't decode Theora. The only reason Mozilla doesn't want to use H.264 is because they don't want to have to pay licensing fees.
Apple is doing extremely well with what they're doing. I don't think they really care about the small single digit percentage of people that want to jail break.
The point isn't that the video is quality, the point is to get the same visual quality using Ogg Vorbis as you have with H.264, your Ogg video is going to be a bigger file size. I think Youtube blows through $1 million USD per month on bandwidth using what they have now. Reducing their bandwidth and storage bills while maintaining visual quality is probably one of their top priorities.
That really only works with fonts because they all use the same underlying character encoding. a==a==a in all fonts(discounting zaphdingbats)
Right now it seems you have to have one video tag pointing to at least 2-3 different versions of your video encoded in all the different formats. This does kind of suck for the person producing and hosting the video since you've now tripled your storage costs and also maybe even more than tripled your encoding time since not all codecs take the same amount of rendering time for a given input.
Last I heard, Mozilla is blocking this just as much as Apple is. They want Ogg and Apple doesn't. Apple(and other companies btw) wants H.264 and Mozilla doesn't. So who's the one blocking who? I don't see what the problem with Mozilla licensing an H.264 decoder is except they're too cheap to do it.
Why should it really be OGG or nothing? Why don't they use H.264 and if Mozilla doesn't support it then screw them? H.264 can be licensed, has hardware decoding making it better for embedded devices and less drain on your laptop battery. Apple and other companies aren't going to bother with OGG because I can bet you that in a few years there would be someone suing them saying their implementation infringes on some patents.
Yeah, their products are so shitty that are so expensive no one buys them, yet they have $25 billion USD in cash, no debt, sales going UP on almost all their products EVERY QUARTER.
You don't need to stay away completely. The problem with most people is their diet is based mostly on carbs since they're really cheap. Unless you're doing a ketosis based diet then you will still need some carbs for energy. If your goal is losing fat then 30-40% maximum of your daily caloric intake should be from carbs.
It doesn't speed up the plane. The GP is assuming that the plane can cruise at or above 150 MPH. The GPS coordinates tell you where you are on the earth. If the GPS coordinates are such that you have a 100 MPH ground speed, and the air you are flying into is going 50 MPH relative to the ground, then your air speed will be 50 MPH higher than the ground speed.
In fact, in a small plane, sometimes it's possible to fly above the stall speed into the wind but not move at all relative to the ground.
Most residential heat pumps can have what's called a desuperheater. Compressors produce "super heat" which is excess heat that can be taken off through a small heat exchanger. We use this to heat about 50% of our hot water in the house. The amount of heat you can get is generally not a lot and it only works when the heat pump is running. Averaging 50% of hour heated water for free is a pretty good deal though.
We have one(my dad installs them). He lives in California so the need for heating is pretty low. Most likely it wouldn't run in heating mode very often. The pump for our earth loop is 1/2 HP. I can't see his solar panels needing a very big pump. Our 1/2 HP pump pumps fluid hundreds of feet down/up since we have a vertical earth loop. Since it's water, it doesn't take much to get it to move since the hydrogen bonds in the water going up helps pull water going down(plus gravity).
It is pretty screwed that people somehow missed his second posting about it being more serious. There's around 10 posts saying they/he lied saying it was just a hormone imbalance when he put out more information the next week.
They specifically said in the article/pdf that he was not given any special treatment. The fact that in the US you can be on multiple states' transplant lists might be a little bit of a loophole that some people can get ahead with but there's no evidence that he somehow beat out some other person on a transplant list in Tennessee.
Maybe you won't die from the prostate cancer but if it metastasizes then you're screwed. Impotence can be cured with hormone replacement therapy. If your cancer spreads then you're done for.
No kidding. Is this the first time this guy has heard of AT&T or what? I think it was pretty clear in the WWDC keynote that at least the presenters have some distaste for AT&T. Both Phil and Scott made some subtle remarks about AT&T.
Reading the article, it says that she was looking at the exact slides that the doctors said were normal:
"...slides her pathologist had said were completely normal..."
So to me it sounds like the doctors missed it if she could find it on those slides.
He lucked out in a way that it was just a river and not the ocean. Big waves and swells are not very common in a river like that, really only during storms.
"1: Your complaint is "non-compiled", not "non-native." Objective-C ain't machine code, you know."
No it's a high level language and a super set of C. It just so happens to compile into ARM code using GCC 4.x for the iPhone and runs native on the CPU. Javascript can be JIT compiled with some of the new runtimes but it's not in the same league as most other compiled code yet.

But youtube choses which codec they encode to thus they have huge influence.

The iPhone shuts the GPS off when it's not needed which is most of the time.
While theoretically true, show me how anyone could influence the thousands of people required to skew a federal or provincial election.

They said he'd be out until June, and look, it's June and he's back.

Actually it was a libtiff exploit (open source, but old version) that the iPhone used, not a bug in Safari itself.

Right, but in that case the engines were completely trashed so it's not like the computer could have stopped the pilot from landing in the river.
