Re:Realtime encoding - over 150x faster on Wednesday December 22, 2010 @02:29AM (#2030830)
Isn't the whole purpose of pre-encoding before uploading is so that you shrink the file size and upload faster?

Why would I want to upload 4GB of video when I can encode it down to 700MB then upload?

Re:How do I know China wrecked the Copenhagen deal? I was in the room. on Tuesday December 22, 2009 @11:59PM (#1011594)
There's no need for China to cut emissions. As western economy fails in the next 2 decades, its emissions will drastically fall as well. So why should east cut down emissions if western economy will cut back by itself?

This whole Copenhagen fiasco was to put a lid on developing nations so the west could further delay the transfer of global power to the Asian nations.

USA had no intention of cutting its own emissions but asks China that they should. What kind of deal is that?

Experts-Exchange vs. StackOverflow: Why I will continue using EE

EE doesn't have any attitude about not doing your homework for you or not doing the programming for you. That's why I pay for sites like this and you'll probably never get this type of service at StackOverflow because the Answerers despise working for the Questioners . The Answerers want to know that you did your homework first before giving you an answer. If you appear to be a slacker who...

Connecting from Xian City, Shaanxi Province. It's been on and off the past 3 days.

My connection is fine now but I foresee VPN outages anytime without warnings.

Ah.. finally! StrongVPN's OpenVPN Client can connect to HK server now. Not sure who changed what on which side (China ISP vs StrongVPN) but I'm glad it's working now!

I fear the future. Once countries start compiling a blacklist of secure VPN providers worldwide and block these IP segments. Everyone will start building their own VPNs on SliceHost / Linode / RackSpace Cloud Servers. Then these countries (China) will start blocking SliceHost / Linode / <insert your fav VPS provider here>

I don't care much about using Twitter / Facebook / social apps. I have no doubt that I'll become a victim from further IP blocking. I won't be surprised to find my website on SliceHost GFW'd in China in the near future.

As I do most of my online business with China, hopefully a Chinese company will duplicate SliceHost's services here.
