My thought too. None of their objections were over restrictions against a functionality they were trying to deliver. The objections were all philosophical.
Exactly. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Plus ask Mozilla how their purity stands over h.264 and not using WebKit on iOS worked out...
Fair enough, I should have said "except marijuana". I certainly agree it's s drug, but like your caffeine analogy.
Well I am not going to post anonymously.
While I don't believe that marijuana is without it's risks, if police are telling children that meth and weed are the same then they are doing a disservice to the children. There is absolutely no comparison between the impact of the two drugs on peoples lives. Meth is highly addictive, and will make your body slowly melt into death. I should know, I watched it happen to my uncle. I on the other hand have stayed away from all drugs (including alcohol) for years, but have enjoyed and used marijuana on a regular basis. I am in great health, have a happy, fulfilled life, and am in loving relationship. Weed didn't wreck my life, in fact it has helped in many ways.
So when part of what you tell a child is a lie, they won't believe the parts you told them that were true. When people lump marijuana in with harder drugs like heroin and meth and kids then don't have a bad experience with weed, they will believe that what you told them about everything else was also a lie.
Yeah, but maybe they're not dead enough.
I tried capturing boxes of old tapes, and gave up because it was so time consuming. So I sent a box to ScanCafe (who had done great work scanning tons of old pics), and they did a really good job. Yes I could have done it myself, but yes I am glad that I sent it to them,
And no I am not a ScanCafe rep, or have any interest in promoting them. I just had a good experience.
Yeah? Well you guys may have the LHC, but our cutting edge tech is run out of a trailer!
Which ones are the good ones again? I get confused.
I wonder if Tesla building a huge battery factory plays into this. If other auto makers build to the Tesla standard, I bet they will need batteries that can handle it.
Yeah, Unix is total crap by now.
Damn my mod points just ran out. But you got an out loud laugh, so you deserved to know.
Well that's good news.
It's wrong to say the internet wasn't engineered to deliver video, it was. Multicast
Unfortunately for this to work seamlessly service providers and backbones would have to implement the standard protocol. This would enable streaming what we currently consider cable TV much easier. It does not solve on demand problems, but would create a similar experience to current viewing habits.
But I don't see it ever happening, because if you are in the business of selling data you don't want to make delivering data exponentially more efficient.
I am currently in the process of moving over 100 domains away from NetSol to Hover. I'd used NetSol since I started getting domains in the 90s, but it has changed from a trusted institution on the web into a scam. Everything is an up sell, and everything is designed to confuse you into buying things you don't need. One personal example. Last year I set up a client on a basic WordPress account, but later wanted to move the domain. They would not let us access the
So now I am going to through the multi-stage process of moving all these domains, waiting days for each authorization code. These guys are crooks, so stay the fuck away from ever doing business with them. And if you have domains there, run away!!!
