Obama Care "costs" more than their calculator because the "$100 a month plan for those making under $50k" cost $1,200 but doesn't give the plan holder anything until they incur $10k in expenses. Basically you Lose $

Incremental improvements would break a Standard. We'd have HTML5 for Video. You'd have to upgrade your Bluray player every 2 months, and Disney Discs wouldn't Work In Sony Players.

MPEG LA also collects for software implementations Who do you think Microsoft Pays for the h.264 decoder in Windows. X264 is derived from the SMPTE Sample code that is provided by the standards body. It is Open Source but it is not Free.

Hardly. You clearly don't understand what a Codec is. It is not simply "math" anymore than Google Search is just "math" or a physics engine for a game is "just math". Justify your piracy with better argume

I helped fight Acacia on the Streaming video patent that threatened to kill porn on the Internet. There are definitely trolls out there. Acacia was one of them. At the same time there are organizations that are viewed as trolls that have le

I would use a $10 a month host like Dreamhost or BlueHost or HostGator, (everyone hates one of those) get it working, then worry about scale. Plugins vary wildly in how much theme they bring with them.

The more data you collect the harder it is for someone to claim they didn't authorize the charge. So know you don't need all that data, but if you had a dispute you would wish you had it. Since your transaction fees are based part

Practice what they preach. Don't tell them anything they don't need to know. Don't join their WiFi. Don't share information about the organizations you have worked with in the past. That's and make sure you are fami

There was a comic not so long ago that had a "why I hate email" complaining that they never know how formal to be. It is hard to believe that people have become some out of touch with each other that they can't figure out bas

You identified the part that makes it a solicitation, and therefore illegal. Basically making it impossible to invest in them. Nothing like death by failure to understand the law. I don't really like lawyers but you have to keep them a

Google Chrome let's you do something Unsafe that none of the other browsers let you do, and you want the safe browser broken so it does the dangerous thing? This doesn't seem like a good idea to me. You can use fonts from places t

Not a lawyer, but I don't think you did all the filings necessary to solicit there is quite a bit in your copy I know they wouldn't let fly.

Solicitation in the US has to be qualified investors, and only after you have the copy approved by the Gov. It isn't as easy as sticking up a web page, and there are serious limitations to what you can say, and how often you can make c

I don't know for certain, but US Companies can't do pitches this way. It isn't legal. I don't know what the rules are for US Companies investing in Non-US Companies in this regard. But I would do some serious checking. I

I don't think commodity hardware was specified as a project goal. If you run any of the big EMC, or NetAPP, or Exadata systems those are built with many of the core components written in Assembly.

The language you have been learning had best be C or Assembly. Almost anything else and your database will always be the weakest link in performance.

The Buy is better than rent in Phx, opposite of San Jose. "nice outside" doesn't happen much in Phx. In Silicon Valley you open the windows and let the breeze in. In Phx you kick up the AC.

The quality of living is different. I am working mostly in Python these days. When I was in Silicon Valley I could go talk to Guido. When I had questions about AppEngine from Google I met with the PM's. Phoenix doesn't have that.
