Is there no instant recursion solution that can allow him to be immediately rehired in the same position at the point at which he was fired in this type of circumstance?

What those drivers do is patented in the US. See MPEG licensing. VLC is based in the EU which does not have a mechanism for software patents that do not solve a physical problem (moving bits around isn't patentable there) so they can avoid issues. Microsoft, Corel, and Nero would not be able to do that, they have assets in the US, even if it would only be a bank account.

I would not be surprised if codec licensing would not allow shipping with old and open codecs like MJPEG, Theora and AV1 with an addon for the proprietary codecs.

Thanks. Kinda ugly that she's implying that Oracle should make another one near some other sleepy town with relatively inexpensive power.

Who is she saying this to? Hot mic means this was at a location that had a purpose, like a fundraiser or conference. Why is there only a tweet with NO CONTEXT?! We know people don't show up to vote so there won't be backlash. The question is if the person she was talking to is someone that would look somewhere else.

Posture is wrong for what a person would be doing normally evolutionarily. You can't put your weight on something that far forward and down since you'll roll backwards and the closer foot position drives your knees into your chest instead of under your arms.

I wasn't targeting squatty potty specifically, you could use an upside down trashcan to get the same effect as one of those. Two inverted 3 gallon buckets on each side of the bowl with a board bolted between them would be like the lilipad.

There is also the added advantage that half of the world's population lives within 150 miles of the ocean, so finding personnel shouldn't be a problem.

Seems like Phil saw them as a decent software company and a bad hardware company. Kinect, Zune, Kin, and Hololens don't stack up to the PS Move, Walkman, Xperia, and PS VR. The Switch 2 is selling, so the execs can't blame shrinking demand for hardware.

Good choice. I've been using mine for much longer and have converted a few visitors as well.

Now, for maximum comfort during the evacuation process, the next step is a full squat platform (lilipad good, squatty potty bad). The advantages of the platform are subtle but measurable. Ideally you want one that sits below the knobs of the bidet, so it is more likely you'll want to DIY.

I know AA meetings tended to occur in church basements or meeting rooms and assumed that part was to encourage the use of that resource. Was that the case for the meetings you know of?

Some church administrators are surprisingly non altruistic unless you can point to it being faith-based.

I think I'm doing my part but the extreme discounts in the app every two weeks mean I'm still visiting. It is a nice break from ramen.

I mean it works since that keeps them from hurting you while you're banging their wife.

Wait, you aren't using eⁱᶿ?
