HTML5, which eventually surpassed it to become the virtual industry standard for Web-based rich content

Perl never ran on any browser.
Actually, i believe it did in one of the early vesions of IE.
Not out of the box, mind you. As far as i recall, IE at the time would run any scripts that could be executed in an interpreter that complied with MS' scripting interface (forgot the name). And there was such an interpreter for perl.
The gamers understand it's unrealistic to expect civilians not to get killed, and the best that you can really do in any war is to not go out of your way to kill them like the Nazi's did.

Why not go all the way and have a thermal wires in addition to electric wires in the house? Need cooling for an electric appliance? Just plug it into the cold socket. Heat for a cup of coffee? Use the hot socket.
All the heat+cold could be collected in a Stirling engine, or even go all the way back to the power plant for "recycling".
Get a digital camera, that can be triggered externally, with low (and known) latency.

Xbox was at a similar amount. I don't think this figure has changed much for the later consoles.
You sound like you have a lot of experience in this matter. How many universities did you attend? How many of these were in the top 50-100? Did you attend the same courses on them all, or did you diversify?
Just trying to figure out the grounds for your claims...
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
