132.185.0.0/16 is back up but 212.58.0.0/16 isn't. EDIT: 132.185.0.0/16 has gone again. (actually it's a bit less than a /16 but I don't feel like looking it up)

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the explanation that there's no looting because the Government's emergency response is very good and people are getting what they need at the shelters.

There is also the problem that MPEG and ISO have fairly closed membership. Anyone can participate in standards development.

Except that VP8 licensing will be a mere drop in the ocean compared to AVC licensing.

It turns out that the encoding of the current Digital Cinema files is so bad that Blu-ray ends up being better. Many indie houses are making Blu-Rays instead and sending them to the cinemas. That said there's no reason why they could do it

Only for Google's implementation and not any others... This is the key point that everyone's missing.

Python already has url processing functions inbuilt. Are the google ones better in any way?

Netflix are x264 users I believe but I've never seen any patches from them.

It's a shame LG adds a lot of "LG Apps" on Android phones...

Silicon Roundabout doesn't have the range of startups from "soft tech" to "hard tech" like Silicon Valley has. Most of the startups in Old Street are startups with links to the creative industry.

They're a really interesting hedge fund because they get involved in these extremely esoteric areas of the market where they have little competition -- for example, a few years back they were buying up defaulted sovereign debt and suing co

Flexiscale isn't a VPS provider IMO. Although they've changed the pricing model a bit, you can purchase servers per hour like Amazon and scale up and down without problems.

Wikipedia could have gone very far with video already but instead it took two steps back with a continually crashing java applet. In terms of the bandwidth costs I don't see why they can't build a cheap CDN to do this. They've already been

The generation/serving of the pages is a triviality compared to the delivery of the video. In the past the BBC used to serve all video in house but now they just use the "big three" CDN providers.
