    Divorce attorneys Ken and Leslie Matthews, a husband and wife team in Denver, Colo. ..... [say],"You can't really fake a page off of Facebook."
    OK then guys. One of you be Ken and I'll be Leslie. We just need someone else to play "the other" and I think we can convince them that this is not quite true.

    They were able to keep the line-count low by relying on heavy reuse from the existing H.264 codebase."

    I bet the MPEG-LA will see that as proof that it violates their patents.

    From tfa:
    since H.264 (the current industry standard video codec) and VP8 are highly similar, we can share code (and more importantly: optimizations) between FFmpeg’s H.264 and VP8 decoders (e.g. intra prediction).

    Doesn't your office have outgoing mail? I don't know the practice in the USA but in the UK most places where I have worked have allowed employees to put private stamped letters in the company mail. Some also allow parcels if you take them to the post room.

  12. Re:Careful not to load it up too much on Visa Launches PayPal Alternative · · Score: 1

    It might be a nano-payment. I read some time ago the idea that some sites could charge these for page access, even down to $0.0001. The idea is that they would add up over time, so every now and then your account would go down by a cent, but a big provider's website would get some real revenue out of the millions of hits.

    I lost interest at this point. Wake me up when biochemists and medical doctors get a chance to run test case groups about the adverse effects of lithium in their localized atmosphere, typically inhaled into the lungs and later causing one's sense of reality to become skewed.

    Well what about the Sodium Chloride option. People have lived near oceans without adverse effects.

    I know that's a joke but it's kind of like getting charged for J walking on your way to rob a bank.

    Its fairly common for authorities to prosecute someone with a lesser offence which they can prove easily first, so they have plenty of time to work out the evidence for the real charge.

    Our company has a lot of Urdu speaking customers. One of the problems that I have seen is a number of people who cannot consistently spell their name in the Latin alphabet. They work it out phonetically each time , and since a lot of the sounds are between the speech sounds used in English they come up with a different version each time.

    If it could also give suggestions such as:

    That would be pretty cool and useful! We can save a lot of money, not by buying a bunch of new electronic goods but, by simply modifying our habits with our current electric drawing devices.
