IPv6 doesn't fix most of the problems with IP, in fact it makes some worse (routing tables are now bigger because of bigger addresses and there can be more of them). If IPv6 actually did attempt to fix issues in IP it might have seen faster adoption.
Re:High quality GIF with FFmpeg on Monday March 16, 2015 @09:13PM (#9215685)
Gifsicle is very good at making highly optimized GIFs, but slightly more cumbersome as you have to convert each frame to a separate image first.

It isn't that different, and I don't trust proprietary auto updating software either.

You can't view it on youtube either from Norway, the UK, and many other countries. "This video contains content from Channel 4 s/f, who has blocked it on copyright grounds."

Re:Process videos in browser using FFmpeg compiled to JavaScript on Saturday November 16, 2013 @04:23AM (#6744253)
No, check out http://blog.pkh.me/p/13-the-ffmpeg-libav-situation.html.

While Libav left with the server, bug tracker, etc., the FFmpeg project was restoring itself, with the help of some VideoLAN people (the FFmpeg sources are now hosted on git.videolan.org). Michael also started to merge the Libav changes back into FFmpeg every 1-2 day, with a lot of forgotten, previously rejected, sometimes controversial features, or in stand-by such as ffmpeg-mt.

The main point here is that the fork stimulated the competition, and FFmpeg became a way better (IMHO) and more complete project. Also, I must say the leader's attitude completely changed, in a very good way. This is certainly one of the most positive thing that came out of that war.

>If someone commits three consecutive rapes...well, who would complain about locking him up forever?

I would. The primary purpose of prisons should be rehabilitation. Giving life sentences doesn't take into account that people can change.

I think vundle is a lot nicer than pathogen. It supports all addons that support pathogen and makes installing and updating them much simpler. https://github.com/gmarik/vundle

Re:Prediction 1957: Pneumatic Tube Roadways on Tuesday August 13, 2013 @10:41PM (#6209671)
Also from the design document: Another extreme is the approach, advocated by Rand and ET3, of drawing a hard or near hard vacuum in the tube and then using an electromagnetic suspension. The problem with this approach is that it is incredibly hard to maintain a near vacuum in a room, let alone 700 miles (round trip) of large tube with dozens of station gateways and thousands of pods entering and exiting every day. All it takes is one leaky seal or a small crack somewhere in the hundreds of miles of tube and the whole system stops working.
