That won't work for anything that does RTMP/RTMPE streaming.
Good thing rtmpdump-2.x will, however that's a pain in the ass compared to what the article poster wants.
You're oversimplifying just as much. There were many factors that led to the Dreamcast's demise, not the least of which was Sony spreading flat-out lies about how their upcoming PS2 could render Toy Story in realtime so you'd better hold off buying. Or how Sega was already skating on thin financial ice and their first batch of games had a high defect rate. Or yeah, how fast it was possible to pirate games on it. Pretty much anywhere that had a college campus was a funnel of pirated software and games, Sega was just too weak to take hits from every direction.
Show up, clean and quiet with a shirt and a tie. That's your advice to counter 400 posts?
Might as well tell the guy to shine his shoes, while you're at it - everyone knows shoes tell all there is to know about a person.
I thought apple had a patent like this back in around 2005~2006 where there were sensors for every pixel that acted like a camera.
They did.
My company is hiring now, and it's very difficult to find anyone who can program (in Edmonton, Canada - I'm the programming manager, and as part of that I evaluate applicants programming skills).
There may be places where there's a glut of good experienced programmers, but it certainly isn't universal.
And if I have any complaint it certainly has nothing to do with "an education that is out of date". I'm not interested in what technologies, techniques, or methodologies a candidate is familiar with. I can help someone pick that stuff up, and there's no way to know everything an employer might need. I just want someone who can do basic problem solving and can work through the basic logic of programming - stuff that has never changed.
If you're worrying about the cost of an Oracle license, what DB you use is irrelevent, you simply aren't large enough to make a wrong choice.
When you are large enough for this to matter, the cost of Oracle or the cost of a handful of DBAs is the least of your concern.
It blows my mind how much value slashdot geeks put on the cost of software. You guys have absolutely no fucking clue how much a single employee costs a company excluding salary do you? You've been spending far too much time living in the basement and drooling over free (as in no cost) software to realize that not everyone is broke like you are. Real businesses don't worry about software license costs, they are so trivial in the grand scheme of things. You realize repurchasing all the software on pretty much any workers PC will be paid off in a couple months of their salary? Do you really not have any idea how 'cheap' Oracle is when you get to that scale?
No, you don't. Clearly.
Right tool for the right job is correct, and building your own or using someone elses half assed hacked together pile of 'OSS' is generally not the way businesses care to run. They typically want to use software from someone who has some sort of vested interest in the software not sucking ass. Its far less expensive to buy from Oracle than it is to deal with a fincky OSS developer. If you're going to hire your own inhouse developer to maintain it you've instantly spent more than you would have spent just buying some software and you now have none of the advantages of such.
Stop talking about business reality when you clearly haven't even been in that part of the real world.
The trick here is improving on them without stepping onto the same patents that make H.264 so good. Why'd you think Theora still sucks in terms of quality/bitrate? Various techniques of getting it better (much better even) are widely known for quite some time. It's just that they're all patented.
It's much easier to do with encoder improvements, which is what parent meant. Thusnelda was a significant improvement over 1.0, Ptalarbvorm seems to have even more in the works. It's improving, and it doesn't really suck, it's just not as good. The Xiph guys know at least a few ways to easily improve the format without violating any patents, contrary to your claims, the real reason not to do it is compatibility.
Wannabe pimps and high rollers don't want a "Swedish car" built around safety and responsive winter driving.
