say no to h264? Do you have a better codec? H264 is a damn good codec.
I think H264 will be around a long time, just like jpg and mpeg. Because they're good. The people behind these projects have changed the world for the better.
Everyone is automatically assumed guilty. This is a direct violation of the principles of America.
The law is engineered to get you... no matter WHAT the truth is. Prosecution want you in jail, no matter what. They do not care if you're innocent. They just want to win, and be right in their own mind.... despite truth.
Just look at how we argue politics today. We just scream points at each other. No one listens. Each side is out to win, and they dont want to hear truth. They want to WIN. THAT is how the law works...
They want a win.... not justice, truth, or to uphold the constitution.
They can put a GPS device on your car, but what about your body? Both are private are they not? Why is a car which is private property, any different than your personal body.
Shouldnt the cops have the right to now put a GPS on your body when you have done nothing illegal?
If they're going to violate private property, it might as well include ALL of your private property.... your body, your car, your house, your phone, your children, your dog.
Buy your guns folks, while you still can. This country is going to shit.
"Boy everyone in this country is running around yammering about their fucking rights. "I have a right, you have no right, we have a right."
Folks I hate to spoil your fun, but... there's no such thing as rights. They're imaginary. We made 'em up. Like the boogie man. Like Three Little Pigs, Pinocio, Mother Goose, shit like that. Rights are an idea. They're just imaginary. They're a cute idea. Cute. But that's all. Cute...and fictional. But if you think you do have rights, let me ask you this, "where do they come from?" People say, "They come from God. They're God given rights." Awww fuck, here we go again...here we go again.
The God excuse, the last refuge of a man with no answers and no argument, "It came from God." Anything we can't describe must have come from God. Personally folks, I believe that if your rights came from God, he would've given you the right for some food every day, and he would've given you the right to a roof over your head. GOD would've been looking out for ya. You know that.
He wouldn't have been worried making sure you have a gun so you can get drunk on Sunday night and kill your girlfriend's parents.
But let's say it's true. Let's say that God gave us these rights. Why would he give us a certain number of rights?
The Bill of Rights of this country has 10 stipulations. OK...10 rights. And apparently God was doing sloppy work that week, because we've had to ammend the bill of rights an additional 17 times. So God forgot a couple of things, like...SLAVERY. Just fuckin' slipped his mind.
But let's say...let's say God gave us the original 10. He gave the british 13. The british Bill of Rights has 13 stipulations. The Germans have 29, the Belgians have 25, the Sweedish have only 6, and some people in the world have no rights at all. What kind of a fuckin' god damn god given deal is that!?...NO RIGHTS AT ALL!? Why would God give different people in different countries a different numbers of different rights? Boredom? Amusement? Bad arithmetic? Do we find out at long last after all this time that God is weak in math skills? Doesn't sound like divine planning to me. Sounds more like human planning . Sounds more like one group trying to control another group. In other words...business as usual in America.
Now, if you think you do have rights, I have one last assignment for ya. Next time you're at the computer get on the Internet, go to Wikipedia. When you get to Wikipedia, in the search field for Wikipedia, i want to type in, "Japanese-Americans 1942 and you'll find out all about your precious fucking rights. Alright. You know about it.
In 1942 there were 110,000 Japanese-American citizens, in good standing, law abiding people, who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. That's all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers, no right to due process of any kind. The only right they had was...right this way! Into the internment camps.
Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most...their government took them away. and rights aren't rights if someone can take em away. They're priveledges. That's all we've ever had in this country is a bill of TEMPORARY priviledges; and if you read the news, even badly, you know the list get's shorter, and shorter, and shorter.
Yeup, sooner or later the people in this country are going to realize the government doesn't give a fuck about them. the government doesn't care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety. it simply doesn't give a fuck about you. It's interested in it's own power. That's the only thing...keeping it, and expanding wherever possible.
Personally when it comes to rights, I think one of two things is true: either we have unlimited rights, or we have no rights at all."
what are the people getting from their country that they pay for?
Happy unemployment.
It seems like this does very little balance anything. If anything, the scales have been tipped in the government/upper class's favor for a long long time.
It is also the fact that many companies are now opting to host servers, rather than let you host a server. This severely prevents you from ever owning your game. Once the company decides to no longer host the servers... that game is dead.
Classic gaming will be a thing of the past. You will not own what you bought.
How will people play Street Fighter IV 10 years from now? Probably the same way people play SF3 online now, with hacked custom server code, that runs through an arcade emulator.
But thats not really owning your game if you have to hack it, write server code... etc
is it?
Actually, these companies would consider that illegal.
No, my company doesnt have 200,000 employees.... and China has far more than 200,000 citizens. So, its still unique that people at the foxconn factory feel the need to kill themselves. After all, they have jobs right? Having a job usually means you're doing ok in life. Something is wrong there.
And they have dormitories as you said... they eat, sleep, live, and work there...
Again... Do you?
If you were forced to live at work, sleep on assembly lines... I'm willing to bet that there would be a lot of unhappy people at your job, including you.
What they really want to do is, install an ignition lock, where you have to swipe your credit card...
Our state is broke, and they're spending money on this shit?
Our blind governor needs to get the fuck out of office. The courts should put a lock on his pens that make him read an eye chart before hes allowed to sign any law.
The goal for all of these companies is a FREE work force. They want you to work for free, because that means massive profits for the shareholders.
The goal is free slave labor. So far they have to pay their slaves 65 cents an hour and force them to live in the factories.
Just think about it. If you could make something that sells millions of units world wide, and it costs absolutely nothing to make or advertise... wouldnt you find a way to make that happen?
Well thats exactly what they're doing. Finding the most pathetic of human rights situations and exploiting the living shit out of them because if they could get people to work for free, they would absolutely abuse it.
Its time to switch from Google folks. I already did when this story broke.
You have to remember that the New York Times broke the story and then Google said they were in no such talks with Verizon that would end net neutrality. Then a couple days later, Google and Verizon come out with this plan for net neutrality. It just looks like Google and Verizon got caught and they came out in full spin mode.
So which is it Google? First werent in any talks with verizon... then 2 days later you announce a plan with verizon that you just claimed you never talked about with them?
The New York Times was right. Google and Verizon had to spin it as a pro net neutrality proposal because of the public reponse to the New York Times article.
It is time to switch from Google.
Switch to anything but Google. You make up your mind as to whom.... but Google is not our friend. Google is evil.
Google floated it out there to see the public's response.
They did the same thing when the Google Verizon stuff was leaked to the New York Times.
Its standard for businesses to float ideas out there as leaks, so that they can simply deny them and never follow through on those plans if public response is critical.
It maybe regional, and based on population/user density.
That would make sense actually if verizon is shaping traffic.
All I know is, Youtube videos used to load up right away. I'm a very early FIOS customer. I've been on their network for a while now. Youtube has never been this bad. But this year... Youtube barely loads video on first attempt, it often plays out the small part it buffered, and then stalls, while it trickles data.
Sometimes you get lucky with a refresh and it loads, but... not enough. Its become predictably bad and I rarely expect Youtube to load videos now in a timely manner:(
My PC is a quadcore. I'm fine on horsepower etc for those wondering.

It's not the same at all.
A GPS tells you location. An unmarked vehicle is an eyes on target witness.
A GPS cant tell you what took place. It can only say that you were in a location.
And sadly in todays world... just being..., is being guilty.
Hell, you dont even need suspicion...
Everyone is automatically assumed guilty. This is a direct violation of the principles of America.

Buy your guns folks, while you still can. This country is going to shit.
The simple answer:
If you're not the oppressor, you're the victim. You have no rights.
Welcome to America. Just another human fucking failure.

It's not just DRM that is the problem.

I would expect the suicides at a single building to be lower than the entire continent of China. Wouldnt you?
How many people at your job killed themselves this year?
What they really want to do is, install an ignition lock, where you have to swipe your credit card...
Our state is broke, and they're spending money on this shit?

Apple is more well known for being a group of assholes being lead by a super dick.
"You fucked up, you trusted us"
Exactly.
The goal for all of these companies is a FREE work force. They want you to work for free, because that means massive profits for the shareholders.
The goal is free slave labor. So far they have to pay their slaves 65 cents an hour and force them to live in the factories.

Well thats exactly what they're doing. Finding the most pathetic of human rights situations and exploiting the living shit out of them because if they could get people to work for free, they would absolutely abuse it.
dont forget 13 suicides + the attempted ones, and the over priced hardware sold in the US.
Apple is all about raping the people for as much profit as they can get away with.
This is a great idea...
I'm sure this would be terribly hard and sad for her to do though.
But even better than writing down what she would want to say.... just spend as much time as you and your children can with her while she is with you.
Very sad...
Cant we just go back to trolling and nerd rage where people's feelings are never a thought. I'm not sure the internet can handle realness and emotion.

Youtube is terrible on FIOS as of late (past year). It really got bad 6 months ago, but now you are lucky if a video even buffers properly.
The days of fast streaming video from youtube, over fios... were wonderful, but they're gone.
what region or state are you. It may have to do with regional subscriber density
It maybe regional, and based on population/user density.
That would make sense actually if verizon is shaping traffic.
