[FFmpeg-devel] [patch] mjpeg restart marker parsing

http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2010-March/094887.html

ffmpeg doesn't support restart markers in mjpeg, which causes it to bail out and screw up.

He asked what I thought of when people mentioned anarchism. I said "Men in beards sitting around slamming their fists on tables and demanding something ought to be done." He was shocked and hurt that I didn't associate it with action of any kind, and sent me off with a seminal work to read.

Bissell, Braid, and the Use of Words | Emily Short's Interactive Storytelling

http://emshort.wordpress.com/2010/08/11/bissell-braid-and-the-use-of-words/

Emily Short on "Braid": "This ghastly indie-art-game prose: it’s writing that tries to communicate ideas in the same way that game mechanics communicate ideas. Such writing offers allusions and suggestions, hints for the player to assemble, but it shies away from specifics or a through-line plot. Characters often go unnamed, or are named something thuddingly symbolic, or are Everyman. Theme is presented heavy-handedly (you wouldn’t want players to miss it!) and via the most cliché images. Expect frequent references to light and dark, cold and loneliness, broken hearts and shattered dreams. Memories may get a look in. Also death. It’s like reading a collage of the manuscripts sent to a high school poetry contest right after one of the students got in a fatal crash."
