Burned by data costs, not playing anymore.

So cant really go full HEVC, a lot of embedded devices in old TVs etc cant cope. But if it can take HEVC then do it for 60% for the same visual quality, so they need to start creating HEVC encoded versions as well as better H264. Then comes the 1 pass with 'constant quality' versus 2 pass with 'constant bitrate' (typically). If you use the 1st pass to work out where to apply savings, and encode on the 2nd pass to work at a variable bitrate that lowers space when it can, then its more than feasible to nail down 20%.

I of course could strip down to my Mankini. The women would be distracted I am sure. Or them ladies might 'put on' some clothing. Amazing Cardigan or Scarf .... I'm not allowed to be naked ... I tried.

Will take more than the flacid platitudes. The teaching staff need a good degree of training, not 'rote', and oh how nice it would be that they loved this subject as I do. One can only hope that they hit the nail on the head with this back in my day (remember Logo?), and there are enough good Birtish heads to come up with an idea or two - the BBC of old perhaps. But please god - not BIG business and BIG Marketing crap. And back to staff - they can barely scrape out Maths teachers these days .. decent skilled computing people are so thin on the ground, a classroom of moaning scrotes will never seem appealing.

Soooo - we learn little, and see all. MSchlop breaks all with its monopoly in the OS/Apps area and is then allowed to use that power to stamp all over other industries.

Thus, it can subsidise its XBox and kill off the Sony/ Ninetendo et al by slowly strangling rather than producing the games/technology. Skinning us for cash when its got a grip that cant be shaken loose.

Of course, in a country where the Presidents brother can 'gerrymander' an election, and the President cowtows to the OilCorp - where the judiciary is too scared to tackle this behmoth, well, we shouldnt be amazed. We arent, are we?
