Back in the day, I worked on this API in Firefox. It's a very old API that was speced before promises were a thing. Once you ship an API, sites start using it, and if you change behavior, you break them. If your browser ships the behav

I have the TP-Link AV2000 and found them good. My office has a bunch of metal laundry appliances and concrete walls between my desk and the wifi router, so wifi signal is terrible there. Solved it with the AV2000. I also tried using a mesh

My bicycle helment saved my life. You'll never convince me they're a bad idea.

Mozilla has an office in New Zealand, you could come work with us... :)

This is not surprising at all. But I'm a dog person. I can identify most of the dogs that live on my street by their barks/howls.

It depends. You'll get better integration into the browser if you transcode. But if you're doing the "YouTube testcase", just using a Flash player fallback (without transcoding) would probably suit your needs adequately.

Note H.264 support in Firefox is only available on Windows 7, and soon Vista. So if you want to support Windows XP, you will still need WebM, Ogg, or Flash fallback.

What about the link between sports and aggression? I've seen more fights at sports games than I've seen at lan parties.

You can install Cinnamon (the window manager used by Linux Mint), and it's very good. It behaves "traditionally" (i.e. like Windows 7), and it's much prettier than XFCE.

Your video fallback behaviour seems superfluous. If you want fullscreen on a video, why don't you just request fullscreen on the video rather than its container? Having the fullscreen request shift to the descendent video also breaks the ca

The best JS library for fullscreen that I've found is https://github.com/toji/game-shim It's good because it shims the W3C specified fullscreen API; you only have to learn the specified API, you don't have to learn some other API.

The comments on that article looks bogus...

Since we're in the mood to call an end to unrealistic portrayals of people's fantasies, I think it's about time we demanded an end to romance novels.

This won't fly in the real world. If an academic writer includes a link to their code in their paper, when it goes through peer review before being published, it will no longer under be a blind review; the reviewer will know who wrote the c

No, you need to have units on your data. Without units, numbers mean nothing. You select a country, and then you're presented with a list of other countries and some numbers. It's not clear that these are lifetime immigrants or permanent

I'm amazed by the number of 20 and 30 year olds who'd rather comment about how crap Firefox is rather than working on a patch to make it better!

I hear these open source projects accept patches...

I had wondered if this was the angle Google's legal team were taking, given that they only made a half hearted attempt in the Nortel patent auction.

The money Google pays Mozilla is a split of the ad revenue. Google keeps renewing the contract because it's profitable for Google! They also don't want 25% of the web switching to use a different default search provider.

That's the last straw. I'm switching back to Lynx and Mutt!

How did you find working with Firefox's AudioAPI and Chrome's Web Audio API, how do they compare? What drawbacks and advantages did you find working with each of them?

Can you file a bug with the appropriate browsers' bug trackers so they know about the problem?

"Of course, hardware adoption is still a huge question mark which I noticed Google also failed to discuss further in this post." This has been discussed on the WebM blog: "The WebM/VP8 hardware decoder implementation has already been licens

Adobe has not yet shipped a version of Flash which supports VP8, or WebM for that matter. They've remained silent on that matter since their initial announcement at Google IO last year.

Why do you think it's so easy to track North Korean officials? Decapitating the leadership in Iraq didn't happen quickly, why would it so much easier in North Korea, a country with far lusher vegetation? Seoul is only 35 miles from the bord
