It makes perfect sense for all the web browser developers (or the main ones) to agree on the default video type for the 'video' tag. This way places like youtube only need to hold a single video, rather then 3 or 4 to cover each browser. This also means that your mom and pop will be able to pick up a book that will tell them just to use h264 rather then trying to explain to them that they will need to have 4 different versions of the same movie and a browser check. I do think they should add a 'video type="theroda"' However.

Simply not having a .bashrc would be a bad idea. A program could create one and if you didnt notice it would be executed. Best thing do do would be to chmod it readonly, or even better chown it to root:root and have it read only. That way a smart script cant even chmod it back.
