15 cents/MB ~= $154 per GB
Still ridiculously expensive anyway.
Buffering
... for those extended versions of the Lord of The Rings that will finally be coming on BluRay next year.
"Oh, this would have required so many discs with that old BluRay technology, you know, we just used these new BDXL discs and actually reduced the cost of the box set for you, the customer, by having less discs! Just don't forget to pick up one of those new players on your way to the cashier."
I kid, I kid, they would never do such a thing.
Being on
It's not a standard, but it's almost definitely the "de-facto standard".
There are other meanings to the word 'standard' than the ones W3C et al might define.
Parent (sopssa) most likely obtains 'legal' movies from scene releases, which come packed in ~40 MB rar files.
I agree, a performance comparison on flash plugins would help shed some light on these results.
Flash performance varies considerably from OS to OS, but I haven't heard much of a variance from browser to browser within the same OS, so I did assume that they would be more or less on par.
But the thing is, IE processing pages with ads and flash was *more* efficient and less demanding on the CPU than Firefox processing pages with no ads at all.
That comes to me as quite a shock, given that Flash is, in fact, a pig.
