Perhaps the MANIAC/CABAC decoding or encoding is computationally more intensive compared to the others? Concerning lack of support, just like with the BPG decoder you could generate the Javascript through Emscripten so any javaszcript

If you haven't seen the movie Gravity and the imagining of high velocity orbital space debris yet... go see it!

Yeah, that was a great read even though it's not quite the same scenario :-)

I would pay money for such a delivery system, but it would only work with pidgeon hotels/stations in each city and the more specific local distribution by for example volunteer or paid cyclists who know where to go. It would be valuabl

Is there an open source server implementation or equivalent for people to host it on their own server, similar to the Gitlab CE vs EE SaaS solutions?

Yes, this was wishful thinking on my part. sp332 is right, there was no decision to implement this. They choose to put their efforts towards mozjpeg instead: http://calendar.perfplanet.com/2014/mozjpeg-3-0/

Does anyone know what the equivalent imagemagick convert command could be for jpeg and webp? If Firefox supports webp in the near future and IE and Safari support can be done through javascript decompression what could the size reduction wi

It looks nice. But while making desktop work look like a science fiction movie means making work fun, but not necessarily useful in accomplishing a task more effectively, sometimes it means the opposite. I think Terminology augmented with n

"We hope that this format will be supported by major browsers" - if I'm not mistaken it should also be implemented by all major webservers. In that regard I'm hoping Opera open sources or sells their OMPD proxy platform.

Ha, yes i don't think an android phone or e-reader will last very long in a post-apocalyptic world. For a surprisingly slight trade-off in capacity one could opt to carry around a A4 sized microfiche (or 4 stacked microfiches) with 500

Yes, I must confess it was an educated guess and I was not precise enough. The Mahabhrata is huge so I use an abridged translation (the one by Ramesh Menon). The complete translated Mahabhrata (by Bibek Debroy) is 12 Mbyte uncompressed. Sti

Yes, it would require unicode if I'd include the native language versions. But in this example I meant the english versions I have for personal use - so it's pure ascii markdown. Except for the greek I don't understand arabic

It would be nice to see a detailed comparison regarding alphanumeric efficiency, licenses and mobile readers, error correction, no error correction between the options below as Voiceye claims uncompressed 3M per A4, which is twice the effic

With HCCB (High Capacity Color Barcode) of which an implementation is Microsoft Tag you can get 1.5 MB with 600dpi color on a A4. If you add the best compression techniques (cmix v7) depending on the source material you could get 8 times as

There were keyboard layouts optimized for palmos pen input; fitaly and atomik. The most used letters are clustered in the middle so movements is minimized, theoretically speeding up the eye typing as well. It seems to be a faster entry meth

Yes, Tolkien was inspired by the theory of his colleguae Alister Hardy so he described the origin of the hobbits as such. Gollum, as Smeagol, was a proto-Stoor Hobbit having an affinity for water. https://plus.google.com/111

If wormholes are theoretically possible and allow for some sort of FTL communication by joining two points in space, then I thought perhaps the same goes for magnetic wormholes.

Does anybody know what instruments they used back then to accompany these songs, or was it just singing? Perhaps a type of flute?
