How many of those patents have survived legal challenge?
How many of those patents have survived legal challenge?
Of course, my understanding is that Theora and VP8 infringe on a subset of the H.264 patents anyway, although no one is entirely sure which ones and no one really wants to go looking.
How can you add any weight to a claim that patents are infringed if "no one is entirely sure which ones and no one really wants to go looking"?
It's not like WebM isn't open for inspection and the patents in the patent pool are known.
If there was a clear infringement, we'd know about it. Most likely, if there are any patents that cover WebM, google has decided that the patent is invalid and so they're not afraid of it. And similarly, the patent holder would be afraid to sue because if the patent gets invalidated, they don't get their money from all the H.264 licensees.
H.264 might be easier to support on phones right now, but there's no reason that in the future such devices couldn't have hardware support for WebM.
Google didn't make their decision base on how easy things were right now. They have a long-term vision that they're trying to create.
or when 95% of phones use inductive charging mats
These mats will become the next target for environmentalists who can do math.
Seriously, even theoretical inductive coupling efficiency can't compete with actually being plugged in and the material costs for the coils is way in excess of what's used in physical connections.
This is a situation where it's hard to define what the "last minute" is. It's not like IPv4 is going to stop working when the address space is completely consumed.
Perhaps it would be better to put the article in a blog posting and show its errors. Make sure you explain why you're qualified as an expert and try to give us references to other resources that contradict the Wikipedia article.
Shame the wikipedia cabal publicly, and perhaps they might fix their article. Even if they don't, if your blog shows up in google, then those of us researching the topic might see your corrections.
Will this fuel really be used as is? Or will it be an additive to regular diesel fuel?
Seems like all the diesel fuel sold around here is "up to 5% biodiesel" which, I assume, this stuff would qualify as.
Give me one fucking valid reason why you need your troops anywhere outside your own territory murdering people.
You really can't think of any reason why it's better to conduct military operations outside of your own borders?
Really?

Funniest comment I've seen so far today!
Has Sony ever confirmed that they lose money on the console and hope to get it back from games?
Why?
Perhaps their interest in Linux is for servers. Or their other laptop. Or their work machines.
Being a member of a LUG doesn't require you to use Linux for all computers, just enough that you're interested in joining the LUG.
How much do windows licenses cost and how much does RedHat charge?
Best. Car. Analogy. Ever.
Don't call them "updates". Instead, say the software/firmware has been "recalled" and you've got the "fixes" from HP.
Out of curiosity, when did Gentoo stop being in the list of relevant distros?
The Gentoo Bugzilla and forums still seem to be extremely active, so I have no reason to believe that the Gentoo community is dying, but distro discussions on Slashdot seem to ignore it now. What did I miss?
I program, therefore I am.
