As much as I want to believe aliens are among us, it just doesn't make sense that a civilization advanced enough to cross interstellar space would crash in New Mexico. And the chances of aliens being humanoid in appearance are close to zero.
I've had some guys at my work try to tell me that H.263 = MPEG4. It actually got quite nasty.
I recognize their are similarities, but I do not believe they are the 'exact same'.
H.263 is a part of the entire MPEG4 specification (as is H.264).
ie the following statement is always true:
H.263 is always MPEG4
However the the folloing statement is not always true:
MPEG4 is always h.263
My evidence is that the video cards we use have Mpeg4 hardware encoders
Not true at all. There are some hardware MPEG4 encoders on the market, but it is for the most part, not included in modern GPUs. For decoding purposes, portions of the h.263 (IDCT to be exact) has been implemented in hardware on video cards for quite sometime. However, combined with programmable shaders, a good deal of h.263 decoding can be greatly accelerated by most modern GPUs (nVidia's PureVideo DirectShow codec is an example of this). ATI's AVIVO XCode app does use a great deal of shaders to speed up the encoding process for several codecs. Even though it's been shoehorned to work with other GPUs, it was intended to work thier X1X00 line of video cards.
How can you use 'confirmed' with a question mark? It's either confirmed or it's a rumour. The word 'confirmed' is not intended to be ambiguous. In this case, it is definitely not confirmed.
A one word Oxymoron! I wonder if Microsoft has that patented yet.....
Hey buddy, I was a kid during the Hanna-Barbera cartoon era. I *KNOW* unwatchable television! Compared to watching that crap over a poor antenna signal, this is a golden age.
Most file-systems don't lock files that you are executing, so they can be overwritten whilst mapped into memory. This can abused in lots of amusing ways.
Geez Slashdot, get with the times. I saw my first 3d printer (that prints solid objects, not paper) prototype 5 years ago. My housemate's architect boyfriend brought home a bunch of 3D models he printed out at work in their model shop.

That must be the reality where evil counterparts have little, pointy mustaches.

Even though it is merely a theory, his work did show a great deal of facts to back the idea.
