Xvid is horrible at low bitrates in my experience. For example, I did a test encode of a 1680x1050 FRAPS video at 1000kbps. H.264 was actually quite watchable (!!!) and you could even read the size-12 text in the chat windows. Xvid couldn't even get below 1400kbps or so with every frame at quantizer 31 with max motion search settings and the like. So I'd say Xvid is the opposite--good at higher bitrates, worthless at low ones.
You don't even have to read the article to guess that H.264 destroyed everything.
Even VP7 doesn't stand a chance, though from my experience its the closest codec there is to H.264.
I have a bunch of extensions (Adblock Plus, CustomizeGoogle, Greasemonkey with Disable Text Ads, etc) and I don't think I've seen an ad, text or image, in weeks.
What are these ads people speak of?;)
Then why is there only a single scientist who has published in a peer-reviewed journal (out of thousands) with a claim denying human involvement in global warming?
There is a scientific consensus. The media (both liberal and conservative), however, doesn't want you to know about it.
You sound like someone who tried to spam your corporate ads or non-notable website on Wikipedia and got banned. Bitter much?
You're spreading disinformation. Wikipedia is not more unreliable than any other source: rather, it has caused people to realize how unreliable most sources are. Yet people like you point the finger at Wikipedia as being the problem, when in reality most websites, newspapers, and encyclopedias are utter crap by comparison, filled with errors, bias, and omissions.
Answer: yes.
And in the few days since the last Wikipedia-related Slashdot article, not much has changed.
It feels like a dupe over and over again, but its actually different articles each time. Yet they all say the same thing.
This isn't new. For years, if you typed a banned word into an IM conversation or received it from a website, the transmission would be blocked. Its not a new method.
If companies were serious about copyright, websites like AnimeMusicVideos.org would have been dead years ago. Most companies don't seem to give a crap, and even fewer care if someone takes a short clip of their content. See the thousands upon thousands of Family Guy clips on YouTube, for example.
What else do you expect them to use for live streaming video? Its pretty much the internet standard nowadays.
Considering that CCP is spending a great deal of time working with Transgaming to get the game working perfectly under Cedega they don't seem much like a Microsoft "fanboy company" to me. 99% of companies don't even care about Linux, while CCP is going out of their way to try to get the game running on other operating systems.

How ironically appropriate...
And its already been answered.
Yes, of course! Its not complete without the robots though.
Yes it does. Its the speed needed to keep 1G of "gravity" from the centripetal force.
Google has no way of knowing whether you blocked their ads or not, as the code is removed client-side.
Agreed, I uninstalled it and noticed no real difference in terms of ads but it sped up Firefox quite a bit.
I have a bunch of extensions (Adblock Plus, CustomizeGoogle, Greasemonkey with Disable Text Ads, etc) and I don't think I've seen an ad, text or image, in weeks. What are these ads people speak of? ;)
What is this advertising you speak of? I see none of it. *Note: Above post may be the result of Adblock Plus. ;)
Why not use LZMA then, which is both faster and has better compression than bzip2?
But its still missing some very important identifiers. We must have at least TRUE, FALSE, and FILE_NOT_FOUND!

Price.
People buy Dells because they are cheap, and they work.
They're not particularly good computers, but they do the job.
They're not even in the same market: Apple isn't competing with Dell's primary market to begin with.
Encoded in H.264/AVC, its quite possible with regular DVDs. And the Xbox 360 has more than enough processor power to decode it.
This falls into the category of "duh" for me. Who else would sponsor such a thing? Maybe the oil companies?

It runs almost flawlessly on Cedega, and its on the top of the list of games that Wine is working on supporting.
A P3 cannot play DVD-resolution H.264 video, which means that 70% of my 250GB D drive would be completely useless.
Considering the performance of the recent IPO, I would think that would be a bad thing...
The curtains were something like 150km away from the meteor impact... I expect Hiroshima would have done similar at that range.
Mod parent up, mod grandparent down for being a copy-paste troll.
