I suppose you mean mp4 instead of avi, as avi is only a container. So the discussion is two-fold, the container format (mp4, mkv, avi) and the encoding of audio, subtitles and video, of which the latter, h264 is pretty much the standard, an

A part of me would like iOS users to deal with the inconveniences of their more locked down platform, and also show some love for matroska. Conforming to restrictive policies is a good way of allowing restrictive policies.

Thank you. I was a bit surprised by the mp4 container (instead of matroska), as well as DTS not being allowed. Now it all makes sense, and it's not really a big deal at all. SD content is mostly being used on smartphones and tablets. For iO

Exactly right. The splash screen is there only to show what it's doing while loading all the libraries and parsing setting files. If this guy/girl really hated the photoshop startup screen, he should do two things: 1. Get a better harddrive

The article points out the valid complaint from people who do not have access to legitimate ways of obtaining books/information, and makes a point of saying he does not endorse the way library.nu operated. I'd disagree. We're presented with

You've probably gotten all your answers based on the other comments. MM or mm should (if at all) only be used within finance. There is enough confusion on units already, that this can't possibly contribute to the better. A few arguments as

I have to second Skiena's book. I had three books: the famous Cormen tome, "Algorithm Design" by Kleinberg and Tardos, and Skiena's "Algorithm Design Manual" available when learning advanced algorithms. I'm still amazed at how Skiena's book
