| schestowitz | Hi, Florian, | Apr 12 01:11 |
| schestowitz | I have just read your response. Therein, you don't deny what I wrote (instead you attack straw men, e.g. I didn't argue that you had not known Erika Mann beforehand). In fact, you dance around the issue just as TH danced around the question about its relationship with Microsoft (which was later made very obvious). Be sure to follow the links and see my explanation of why Microsoft funds CCIA and Black in a very special way; don't | Apr 12 01:11 |
| schestowitz | conveniently omit details, please. | Apr 12 01:11 |
| schestowitz | So, Florian, are you in contact with TH and CCIA? You sneakily fail to address this point. Have you been in touch with Carina Oliveri? | Apr 12 01:11 |

| ender2070 | whats wrong with peddling btw? | Apr 12 05:50 |
| DaemonFC | closer to 500 according to most users | Apr 12 05:50 |
| DaemonFC | so each battery can be considered about 500 gallons of gas | Apr 12 05:51 |

| DaemonFC | if the battery runs down | Apr 12 05:57 |
| ender2070 | thats true | Apr 12 05:57 |

| DaemonFC | a bike weighs about 63 pounds or so with the motor and one battery, about 70 with two batteries mounted | Apr 12 05:59 |

| ender2070 | they had good enough batteries for the city | Apr 12 05:59 |
| DaemonFC | asking a battery to move that weight and get useful mileage either won't happen, or the price will skyrocket to where nobody can afford the car | Apr 12 05:59 |

| DaemonFC | Why don't they tell people to go get them from the health department? | Apr 12 07:33 |
| DaemonFC | I noticed something interesting. Instead of mandating that all flu shots go to county health departments to be given at cost or free, the government lets lots of them go to private pharmacies who mark them up 20 or 30% and hit you with the full cost | Apr 12 07:35 |
| DaemonFC | :D | Apr 12 07:35 |
| DaemonFC | if they had sent that third of the stockpile to the health departments, millions more people would be vaccinated against the H1N1 | Apr 12 07:35 |

| Ziomatrix | _goblin: what do you think of the verbal fistycuffs going on between Adobe and Apple? | Apr 12 15:17 |
| Ziomatrix | I mean sure both are not quite FOSS so its none of our concern for now, but what do you think? I mean Apple is supporting a wanked version of HTML5 with ACC and H.264 as choice embedded codecs | Apr 12 15:18 |
| _goblin | dan: Apparently you have to make your computing life as difficult as possible to become l33t....you have to boycott all userfriendliness....its rumoured that there are some "l33t" running webservers with nothing more than homemade PCs made of cardboard and celotape. | Apr 12 15:19 |
| _goblin | ziomatrix: not my area.....I think Apple is making a mistake, although my area of "expertise" is more law related. | Apr 12 15:19 |
| dan | _goblin: OK now I understand.... | Apr 12 15:20 |
| Ziomatrix | _goblin: fair enough | Apr 12 15:21 |
| dan | No ceases to amaze me how people fall for the Apple marketing, again, and again..... | Apr 12 15:22 |
| Ziomatrix | dan: they sure like those simple yet pretty white and silver packaging | Apr 12 15:22 |
| Diablo-D3 | Ziomatrix: uh | Apr 12 15:22 |
| Diablo-D3 | you do realize | Apr 12 15:22 |
| _goblin | MS have been at it for years, although I think at least when Apple does it, it does it with a little more style and eloquence | Apr 12 15:22 |
| Diablo-D3 | html5 has no chosen codec, right? | Apr 12 15:22 |
| Ziomatrix | dan: its also because Steve Jobs seems so charasmatic to many | Apr 12 15:22 |
| Diablo-D3 | h264+aac is just as valid, widespread, and generic as theora+vorbis | Apr 12 15:23 |
| Ziomatrix | Diablo-D3: I thought that most are siding with Theora, WC3 and Google are | Apr 12 15:23 |
| dan | Yeah, but isn't is also about been "better" than those pleb Windows people. | Apr 12 15:23 |
| _goblin | I am seeing an increase in popularity of h264 | Apr 12 15:23 |
| Diablo-D3 | Ziomatrix: most are _siding_, sure | Apr 12 15:23 |
| _goblin | if the numerous BT trackers are anything to go by. | Apr 12 15:23 |
| Ziomatrix | _goblin: its because Apple is not considered a monopoly | Apr 12 15:23 |
| Diablo-D3 | but html5 has no forced requirement | Apr 12 15:23 |
| Diablo-D3 | your browser is rather fucked if you dont do theora+vorbis | Apr 12 15:24 |
| Diablo-D3 | most html5 video sites wont work right | Apr 12 15:24 |
| Diablo-D3 | but theres no requirement or limit to what a browser can or cannot support | Apr 12 15:24 |
| Ziomatrix | Diablo-D3: true, but like I said Apple is just re-enforcing their walled garden approach with even manipulating required codecs that go against common opinion, its like IE5 all over again | Apr 12 15:25 |
| Ziomatrix | _goblin: it does seem indeed strange that Google changes to supporting Theora considering Youtube is still converting from flash to h.264 | Apr 12 15:26 |
| Diablo-D3 | Ziomatrix: well, no | Apr 12 15:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | they're not doing anything | Apr 12 15:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | if they dont support it, then their browser will just fail conformance tests | Apr 12 15:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | its no big deal | Apr 12 15:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | its no different than firefox not supporting h264+aac | Apr 12 15:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | firefox, too, will not pass conformance tests | Apr 12 15:27 |
| dan | Will we see youTube playable with Ogg only? | Apr 12 15:28 |

| Diablo-D3 | dan: possibly | Apr 12 15:28 |
| Diablo-D3 | But Im probably not allowed to talk about that. | Apr 12 15:28 |
| dan | Why? | Apr 12 15:28 |
| Ziomatrix | dan: I see them wanting to take advantage of as many plug-ins as possible, it will make the website bloated as hell but at least they'll ensure the most users | Apr 12 15:28 |
| dan | Thats good then. | Apr 12 15:29 |
| Ziomatrix | dan: I dunno how they'll do it though by menu selection or auto detection that determines which browser you're logging on with, maybe both | Apr 12 15:30 |
| dan | Although does anyone else feel Google is becoming another MS? | Apr 12 15:30 |
