DaemonFCMinceR, Webkit is a great engine in many ways, but Opera's presto is at least as good, and maybe better in some casesJul 17 13:45
DaemonFCI've found that I like it's small screen rendering betterJul 17 13:45

*ender2070 has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)Jul 17 13:48
DaemonFCoiaohm, if h.264 and VP8 are fairly similar, it should be too much of a stretch to hardware accelerate VP8 if the device can already accelerate h.264Jul 17 13:49
DaemonFCright?Jul 17 13:49
DaemonFC*shouldn'tJul 17 13:49
oiaohmThere are enough differences to be a pain.Jul 17 13:49
DaemonFCcould an existing device get a firmware update and accelerate VP8 too?Jul 17 13:50
DaemonFCis what I'm asking actuallyJul 17 13:50
oiaohmBasically it depends on how the hardware accel is done.Jul 17 13:50
oiaohmIf the h.264 is full blown streem processing no.Jul 17 13:50
oiaohmIf the h.264 hardware assist is a stack of video features then yes firmware update would work.Jul 17 13:51

DaemonFCfor "only $5 a month"Jul 17 15:36
DaemonFCthose things can typically be expected to last decadesJul 17 15:36
DaemonFChmmm, let's see, 20 years between failures, and I could pay $5 a month or $100 to have them fix it if it breaksJul 17 15:37
DaemonFCit would have to fail once every 20 months for me to break even with the "jack insurance"Jul 17 15:38
DaemonFCB-)Jul 17 15:38
DaemonFCof course I'm the kind of spiteful person that would break it now and then just so they wouldn't make a profit off selling me the insuranceJul 17 15:38

DaemonFCobviously AT&T didn't want "supervisors" sitting there idle, so they probably had some kind of call load balancing that had them fielding regular calls tooJul 17 15:43

DaemonFCis ZFS included in the GPL3 relicense OpenSolaris did a while ago?Jul 17 16:18
MinceRyou can'tJul 17 16:21
MinceRyou can link GPLv2_or_later with GPLv3 though :)Jul 17 16:21
DaemonFCright, because the "or later bit" gives those components a GPL 3 license just by being linked in that caseJul 17 16:22
DaemonFCright?Jul 17 16:22
DaemonFCbut what would happen if I nabbed some "GPL 2 or later" stuff, used them with my GPL 3 stuff, and contributed my changes to the files I took under the GPL 3?Jul 17 16:23
DaemonFCwhat would the original project have to do in that case?Jul 17 16:23
MinceRyesJul 17 16:23
MinceRthey could only use it as GPLv3Jul 17 16:23
DaemonFCso they couldn't apply them to their "GPL 2 or later" version, right?Jul 17 16:23
DaemonFCthey would need to relicense it GPL 3 only to incorporate the patchesJul 17 16:24
DaemonFCI wouldn't use GPL 2 or later just because that has a potential to create a license soupJul 17 16:24
DaemonFCand bound me to terms in a future GPL I may not agree withJul 17 16:24
DaemonFCif someone were to fork something of mine and take me for a ride with the licensingJul 17 16:25
MinceRrightJul 17 16:25
MinceRor they could license part of their code as 2+ and part of it as 3Jul 17 16:26
MinceRso if someone didn't want the latter they could still use it as 2+Jul 17 16:26
DaemonFCI haven't read all of the GPL 3, but I've seen a lot of people that don't like itJul 17 16:26
MinceRi wouldn't use GPLv2+ because i have no guarantee about what the FSF will do in the future (or someone can somehow hijack their identity or the identity of the license)Jul 17 16:27
MinceRwell, i've seen a lot of people that don't like any version of the GPLJul 17 16:27
MinceRi also know about people who don't like free softwareJul 17 16:27
DaemonFCright, like Miguel de Icaza types could gain voting control of the FSFJul 17 16:28
MinceRpeople have the right to be stupid and many of them exercise that rightJul 17 16:28
DaemonFCand make a GPL 4 that you say hell no toJul 17 16:28
DaemonFCbut can't nowJul 17 16:28

DaemonFCthere's a lot of ways it could go very wrongJul 17 16:28
MinceRindeedJul 17 16:29
DaemonFCI would just pick a version and make any contributors to my project grant me permission to move to a newer GPL as I see fitJul 17 16:29
DaemonFCit seems like a better way to go than to just hope nothing bad or malicious happens in a new GPLJul 17 16:30
DaemonFCMinceR, The funny thing is that I could do that without violating the GPL by simply not giving anyone else write access to my source repository until they entered into another contract with me agreeing to that termJul 17 16:32

DaemonFC"Already, the Daniels administration has tapped a $1.3 billion savings account built through spending reductions since 2005. Daniels, however, only was able to sustain those savings thanks to nearly $1.2 billion in federal stimulus money that helped shore up state education and Medicaid spending.Jul 17 21:03
DaemonFCIn the past 12 months, the administration has spent those savings down to $830 million, and by the end of the current two-year budget cycle next June, budget officials project that number will drop to $188 million -- or about enough cash to run the state for five days."Jul 17 21:03
DaemonFCheheJul 17 21:03
DaemonFCand they want to run him for presidentJul 17 21:03
DaemonFCso the only reason we aren't already $300 million in the hole is because the stimulus money bailed us outJul 17 21:04
