Which actually sucks for license payers because over 450 million won't be paying for BBC content which would reduce the license.

The BBC sells it's programming via BBC worldwide which looks like some kind of massive fraudulent organisation, the amount they spend to sell the programs doesn't make any sense, go look for yourself if you don't believe me. I can only assume someone is embezzling tens of millions of pounds at the British license payers expense.

Just privatise it already, people don't understand the level of pro-corporate, pro-gov't, pro-establishment bias there is with the BBC. The woman who runs the BBC was head of auditing at HSBC whilst it was money-laundering for criminals and hiding money for the wealthy in Switzerland.

Considering H.265 taxes my intel I7 considerably, I think that more energy will be used decoding for a good few years until most hardware has dedicated decoding chips which use much less energy.

But given the way advances in silicon have almost stalled now and the royalties being demanded, I think it will be a long time before H.265 becomes standard even for piracy (look at how much XViD is still being used).

H.265 is going to become the standard in the near future

RTA, They are asking for too much money and too much hassle, I don't think they'll get many users as a result.

First: computers/devices are designed to let their CPUs run at 100% with whatever cooling mechanism they have designed.

Which requires a lot of electricity - internet streaming and hard disk space don't require a lot of electricity. So I'd prefer that H.265 doesn't make it big until most equipment has dedicated decoder silicon.

Do your phone or tablet etc have a fan in?

Play a 1080p H.265 video and look at the processor usage - not efficient, very processor intensive. Each generation of codec requires several times more processing power than the previous one.

And H.265 is horribly cpu/gpu intensive to the point you'll need a fan to cool the processor down when decoding it or your processor won't be able to handle it (for 4k, especially 4k 60fps).

Given the amount of terawatts that could be needed to process h265 continuously worldwide, I'd rather we all stick to h264.

Of course, everyone knows that contact with radioactive substances causes you to develop super-powers.

Bernie Sanders seems like a decent politician judging by his anti-TTIP speech.

I dunno, but you could ask New Zealand after paying them $600 for the privilege of not giving the people who could be potentially be hit by your craft something to say about it...

Apparently they think it's quite sane to charge so little money in return for making your permission or opinion moot.

and if it's an outside wall that's not well insulated and it's cold out there could be a problem.

Indeed.

So, you could have Hilary Clinton vs Donald Trump.

That's a really crap choice isn't it.

How massively ironic is it that they can't fix these cars remotely when the vulnerability is due to remote hacking.
