Encode with whatever codec you want. For putting stuff into the MKV container, MKVtoolnix works pretty damn well (and has source and binaries for pretty much everything).
Don't worry, they make a version for model-M users. It's a three foot wide block of cast pig-iron, and the keys are illuminated with nixie tubes. It can deflect a.50 round without missing a keystroke.
Or, have a psuedorandomly changing key-combination required to close the message. To find the key combination, they must read the message. Position of the key combination in the message also changes, so they can't just learn to look in a certain location each time.
I, for one, welcome our 1080p+, uncompressed 120fps streaming video lords

I'd enjoy a 6 gigabit connection as much as the next geek, but that's faster than some internal connection buses! Heck, until PCI-E v3.0 is ready, that would saturate a 16x slot!
It's theorised that somewhere in the 1xx range lies one or more "islands of stability", where one or more undiscovered heavy elements exist with either very long half-lives, or stable nuclei.
I.. I really can't tell if this is deliberate humour or just stunning stupidity. I'm really hoping for the former, but you can never tell these days. For the record, 'organic' means 'contains carbon' in the context of chemistry.
X is just as bad as it's predecessors. Does it still require you to install various browser plugins, an updater (that continuously prompts you to install Safari as a default 'update'), give playback permission to the Quicktime Player (good luck disabling it without uninstalling everything entirely), etc just to be able to open the.mov container? Never mind that as a player it's pretty poor compared to, well, everything. VLC, MPC, Mplayer even Windows Media Player has better luck playing back a reasonable range of formats.
Since it's clearly able to run Linux, just provide a standard Ubuntu installation. That'd be much better.
The spec page lists "Android, Ubuntu, Chromium" under OS. I'm guessing that just means they're leaving it open for you to install whatever you want on it rather than shipping multiple version with different OSes, but I could be wrong.
I'm not sure how this could be described as a "script kiddie" technique. The only pre-written software he used (exploited) was the 'ext' command itself. Unless you're expecting all 'real' crackers to only exploit programs and/or operating systems they've written themselves?
Yes, yes, I know, Rule of Funny and all that. As a card-carrying pedant, it's a contractual obligation to bitch about this sort of thing.
It's more that they were on a ROM, i.e. Read Only. This uses re-writeable NAND flash, so would be hacked in a heartbeat. Never mind that cartridges dies out from being sodamned expensive to produce compared to pressing a disc. OK, maybe for consoles where for some reason you don't want to just pre-load content from a BD to an internal NAND-based SSD as you play, but it seems far less cost effective to distribute everything on it's own SSD. Hot-swappable SATA HDDs are faster than current optical media, and the per-GB cost is far lower than NAND flash. But I've never heard of see anyone suggesting distributing console games on individual HDDs.
When did this happen? Last I heard, a NASA project that was even more horrendously delayed and over-budget than usual got canned. There's nothing to stop another, better, project from taking it's place.
Or for, you know, any other country with manned craft from launching them.
I'm not sure what they recorded to (I Am Not A Shuttle Flight Data Recorder Engineer), but if it was a magnetic tape of some sort, the latest recordings would also be the outermost recordings, and thus bear the brunt of any damage.
It's still "english" and the 'grammar' may be correct but you don't speak like that and it's not necessarily 'english' you'd recognize as how you think or speak in your own voice.
A rather silly complaint. If any book were written in the same way people spoke (pauses, repetitions, stuttering, incomprehension, disfluences, repetition, talking over one another, etc), it would be almost incomprehensible.
And how would you build this super-ISS, and supply it with raw materials? Shipping everything up the Earth's gravity well is far too costly. Manufacturing parts on the moon and flinging them up with a cheap mass driver will drop the cost of any further mission massively. As well as provide a nice testing training area for future Mars expeditions.
Yes, tugging a NEO into orbit (or a Lagrange point) would have an even lower gravity well. But moving ateroids isn't exactly all that easy. That's a hell of a lot of delta-V required to get it where you want it, even if the thing is already in a horseshoe orbit or similar.
A pity, the Moon would be the perfect way to get to the rest of the solar system. compared to almost every other body in the solar system, the Moon is right next door. It has water that can be broken down for air and fuel, it's got raw materials that can be used for construction without dragging asteroids into orbit, and hauling something out of the moon's gravitational well and off between planets takes a fraction of the energy needed to do the same from Earth.
Any trip to Mars that would be worthwhile (i.e. more than a quick stroll on the surface before making the second leg of a multi-month round trip) would have to start from the Moon.

Well, it I DID steal the precious [personal identifying information].
Yeah, I couldn't think of a way to make that joke flow properly, so I'm crowdsourcing my humor.

I think he was joking about the numerous fansubs that simply fail to translate large chunks of the dialogue and claim that it's "more authentic".
It's of massive value in astronomy. And it's exactly whatsuperconducting image sensors do.

I read that as 'Soup Quark'. Undiscovered partner to the Crouton Quark?
Enjoy buffering an entire mkv file before correct playback.
Whoops, I'd assumed it was just a newer version for all platforms.

No Quicktime Player? It's a turd of a program on either OS, but the windows version definitely stand out as a major PITA.

Having a pet squid would be pretty neat. Pity that they require such comparatively large tanks for even a small squid.

Don't let people install trojans on your phone.
If you know it's a Trojan, then by definition it isn't a Trojan.
