We still need Silverlight and Flash for the time being for the 75% of the market who's never heard of a codec.

As developers we still need Flash for backwards compatibility for video. By using HTML5 <video> tag we can support more codecs and platforms AND use flash for backwards compatibility.

Check out Video For Everybody.

It freaks me out that teen sex is illegal, especially while teenagers are so obsessed to become grownups they start smoking, drinking and fucking by their own free will and even lying about their age to be able to do so. Who asks people for ID before sleeping with them?

And consider this: If you're 17 and sleep with your 17 year old girlfriend it's OK, but the day either one of you becomes 18 they're by US laws "raping".

I wouldn't put Icelandic in the same category as Chinese, Arabic and Russian... it's very similar to other Scandinavian languages (especially Faroese and Norwegian) and some German dialects so if you already know one of them...

They'll have to rename to 1/99 designs because that'd be the signal to noise ratio :-)

If you have $765 burning a hole in your pocket, and a penchant for drinking alcohol out of a taxidermied animal, the good folks at BrewDog have just the drink for you. Their latest creation, called The End of History, is a 110 proof beer that comes packaged in a variety of small stuffed animals.

I don't get what a browser would gain from 64-bit support at the moment (even with all the 64bit plugins), I mean most browsers today are going towards a multi-process architecture making it unlikely for them to hit the 32bit process limit and going x64 would just increase the memory usage. Anyone care to shed some light on why 64 bit browsers are so important today?
