Humodour

No. And let me qualify that: HTML5 is the future of the current HTML standard which ALL web browsers are adopting (including IE). In fact web browsing has never been more standardised than it is now - you can pick any browser and not have to worry if you chose the right one, generally. The stuff in this thread (aside from HTML5) won't be stuff end-users need to worry about. Once one of these things becomes dominant and mainstream your browser will do the typical "you are missing a plugin, click here to install" thing assuming it doesn't come integrated into future browser versions.

Yet the Greek people elected them.

At first I thought you were talking about the UK but then I kept reading.

That Daily Beast article is retarded. Anyway, the final polls before The Poll all show the same thing: Lib Dem has the same percent of the vote as Labour. I'm guessing that means a hung parliament with the Tories forming government and the Lib Dems holding the balance of power, which is what I personally wanted so that there is a reversal on the erosion of freedoms in the UK (because it might just give Rudd food for though). http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/blog/

I'm lame. My ancestors are all the boring ones - English, Scottish, Irish, German.

Interesting. I guess the same concept could be applied to Python or LUA. Neat idea.

**** you make Portugal sound so sexy.

It's a bit difficult for him. He's a Brit.

IMHO, Native Client (NaCl... mmm salt) is even more interesting than HTML5: http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20003527-264.html

If you own shares in Adobe, sell them now: http://www.kevs3d.co.uk/dev/asteroids/ Between Javascript, HTML5, OpenGL 2 support, and 3D acceleration in web browsers, the future looks pretty interactive. And it looks like a future without Flash. Hopefully it's also a future without proprietary video codecs. ****ing H.264.

Your mum's face is relative.

Yeah, never EVER check Wikipedia for a book/game/movie you don't have yet because it's ****ing spoiler central. I've lost count of how many times I accidentally ruined a plot because I was innocently looking for other information on a title. So annoying.

Just curious. The location field is often deceptive. I'm from Australia.

It's all relative.

I understand how the city view works fully now. Water tiles are pretty damn powerful when you're dutch.

I didn't say the safety was "obviously balls" either. I'm sure the safety was 'good'. But there's a possibility it should have, and could have been 'excellent'. That's my point. You're too quick to defend them.

I didn't say anything about perfect safety. Edit: But I did talk about optimum safety. You can't just assume that current safety standards are optimum.

Look, you're polite, and informative, but one can tell by the tone of your posts that you're also incredibly biased. Maybe I am a foreigner, but maybe that's what it takes to look at the situation objectively.

This assumes we're at the point where we can't improve the error rate any further. Which is wrong.

I don't know anything about the geography, but clearly you have the logical option of letting them have the sodding name. So yes, it is always both party's fault that a compromise can't be reached. Not really, because allowing them to be called just plain "Macedonia" would practically mean we give up on our history, identity and culture. Wow, you're the master of embarrassingly tenuous justifications.

Japan is both repugnant and alluring to me in equal measure. I can't decide how I feel about it. I wouldn't mind travelling there.

lol. Still, is prison for punishment or rehabilitation? Or simply removal from society? If it's the last two then the Norse are on the right track.

Somebody have a think about what it means to have personally killed 700 of your fellow human beings, especially in the world wars, where they weren't barbaric terrorists but simply on the opposite side. Somebody who does that is different to us. They would see humans as farmers see cattle.
