The Cram time is what piqued my interest, I assume that the decompression is also not real time. Video formats are obviously designed with real time playback in mind and processing constraints. Could you give the time to decompress that fil

You are right and given that its a tech preview, this is Microsoft catching up. Their real problem of course is IIS. We'll probably have to wait for IIS9 which I cannot see happening for another two years. IIS8.5 appeared 12 months ago

Good reports are hard, I've not found a good open source solution for anything other than basic reports. Last year I migrated 200+ reports from Crystal Reports to Microsoft ReportViewer Control. Telerik Reporting is a product that we c

This issue is an awesome demonstration of how bad closed ecosystems are. The open systems that are running on Linux (RedHat, ubuntu, etc) are patched and updated. However, OSX which is also affected is still waiting. If I owned an Apple ser

I think you misunderstand how large multinationals work. They are good at product sales, they are bad at innovation. The layers of bureaucracy required by so many employees makes decision making hard. The modern model is that companies as l

I take issue with your use of the term very little. Granted it didn't change the ruling party, however our system isn't just the ruling party there is also the consideration of the majority of the house. From the linked source on

That then begs the question, could you destroy a black hole? If we had the ability to alter the fabric of spacetime, could we shrink that fabric so that the black hole either imploded or exploded?

Its probably the most pertinent point. In truth they can only be talking about OpenOffice/LibreOffice file format compatibility with MS Office. Any other EDI systems would operate at the top of the software stack.

PGP is about identity and privacy. We are not going to get that from Email. Email isn't worth fixing. Its time to move on. In the last few years we have seen IM and SMS merge into an almost seamless experience. Surely we could engineer

Biggest problem I see with the NHS is their major issue of dealing with randomness. Wait times are totally dependent on who and how many people walk through the door at any given moment. However managers have to post staff rosters 6 weeks i

All these crime is down articles make me think there is something more fundamental at play. That whilst technology has helped, that perhaps the real answer is economic. Crime was a way of getting something that you wanted with little effort

I am a supporter of the right. We have to have a fundamental right to have our identity removed where it is not in the public interest. The ruling is taking the side to prevent some future dictatorship hunting people, who in the past showed

Of course these charge points should be created by the same people that run car parks. Its an additional profit opportunity and a customer draw. If I owned a EV I would be parking in a car park that was 50% more per hour if I could also cha

This is incredibly cynical. It is better to do something than nothing and allow the status quo to continue. Plus the administration of such a scheme would not be that hard given that every employee's pay goes through some sort of accou

That doesn't make sense, why would the current crops in the ground not be usable? Why would the food in storage right now not be usable? Saying that 90% of crops would fail is kind of an over statement. Organic farms that don't us

You are so right, it amazes me that people are focusing on getting guns rather than teaching people to dig a well (few days effort, less if others are helping) or plant crops. Has Minecraft taught this generation nothing? ;-)

Everybody realises that, the point he was making was that $1000 is better invested in storage now than a gun. Everybody assumes that in an end of the world scenario that we all end up fighting for food, however the better plan, and to be ho

I take your point, the study demonstrates the problem. However I would counter that the problem is that people are doing it wrong. They shouldn't be linking to a specific minor or patch version, just linking to the major version they w

We already have a versioning plan with the three dot version numbers. As a developer using a library I should be able to use any minor or patch version without breakage. They should just add functions and fix bugs and regressions. Major ver
