You mean like you cannot think past FLASH?
I've always been able to, Craig. Your consistent problem is that you get hung
up creating "good guys" and "bad guys," it totally absorbs you, and then you
remain thoroughly clueless about the real issues. I've explained a ton and a
half of times about Flash.
That is a completely mischaracterization. We were advocating for an
open market approach for TV, EXACTLY the same thing that has allowed
the Internet to evolve
You were advocating ignoramus nonsense, because you were clueless about how
these things work. Including the Internet. In your cluelessness, you
misunderstood how Internet standards are established, so you attempted to apply
your misconceptions to the TV standards. And worse than that, you are
uneducable, because we've been over this too freakin' many times.
How does the Internet evolve without everything going dark Bert?
Gradually, Craig, and it's NOT broadcast. Everything would definitely go dark
if, say, streaming were multicast only (which it rarely if even is), AND the
multicast sources suddenly changed their standard. Or even if all web sites
decided overnight to go from HTTP to something different. Besides which, the
more capable Internet appliances are software upgradeable, which sometimes is
enough to fix the problem, but which is not the case for many of the
built-for-collusion little streaming boxes or other lower cost appliances.
For example, updating from H.264 to H.265 suddenly would break all boxes that
use hardware decoders, and it would equally break all boxes that use software
decoders but without having plenty of spare CPU power. Just as going from H.262
to H.264 was beyond the capabilities of my PC, at the time this happened. Yes,
Craig, even in the 21st Century, these things happen.
Again, I've been over this too many times, for you to revert back to your
clueless nonsense of years and years ago. Changing widely deployed standards is
always a problem.
END OF THREAD!
