What is the size of the file in megabytes? What length of time is it?
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That would only bump it up by the audio bitrate, which is 128kbps.
Oops.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Me too. I swear this fucking thing happens to me at least once a month.
Usually I find I have to change up my search terms to get the solution I need.

Yeah, we figured out that QT10.1 is calculating total bitrate (bits/seconds) instead of average bitrate, which takes into account interframe compression. Still no idea why, except that Apple has abandoned professional video.

Our wings are not tired
That xkcd describes far to much of my life.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Yup. It needs a "Well, you do realize, that product was not developed for the purpose you are using it for, so we can not support the problem you are experiencing" from tech support, and it'd wrap up my tech support life perfectly.

I'm always doing this. "Well it says in your specification that it can do all of these things, and that this is the technical limit." The response, "We actually didn't expect someone to try to make it do all of those things AT ONCE!" My retort, "Well, I guess it isn't out of beta yet then, is it? Get back to work!"

Heh.
ION,
Palm-sized USB fuel cell packs lots of juice, on sale this year
Lilliputian Systems is not a big name in portable power, but they have some big ideas, and this year, they've promised a big product: a fuel cell generator the size of a smartphone that will be able to generate enough power on one cartridge of butane to charge an iPhone up to 14 times. Goodbye batteries, hello liquid electricity.
Later this year, you'll be able to pick up Lilliputian Systems' portable USB power source from Brookstone for an undisclosed sum. It runs off of a special lighter-sized cartridge full of butane that'll cost you a couple bucks per, and will charge anything you can plug into it with a USB cable. When the cartridge runs dry, just pop in another one and you're fully recharged. It's simple, it's cheap, it's portable, it's reliable, and it's about time.
The rest of the article is a rant about how it requires proprietary butane cartridges. Dunno how much it'll cost.
