  1. Re:HTML5 Video on Mozilla's VP of Engineering On H.264 · · Score: 1

    So does this settle it for firefox on windows 7?

  2. Re:Excellent. on Vimeo Also Introduces HTML5 Video Player · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How does using HTML5 + H.264 negate their attempt to draw people away from Flash for video? It just doesn't aide their Silverlight efforts.

    Well Everest is just under 9km up...

    Yeah, but this thing can apparently go over 9000 metres high! Comparison to anything under 9k up is nonsensical.

    New Zealand straddles the Australian continental plate and the pacific plate much like I was straddling your mum last night.

    This is the USA though. They're not run like civilized countries in the rest of the world ... so if Starbucks wants to do business there, they'll have to play by the rules. And, knowing USA, Starbucks' problems can all go away if they grease the right palms.

    What country can this not apply to?

  11. Re:Charity on Facebook Campaign Decides UK Christmas Music Charts · · Score: 1

    0-9 or 1-10? 90-99 or 91-100? Although being on slashdot you would have noticed the lunacy in starting at 1.

    As I have found as well. It appears that the screen becomes a mid-ground and that the background is pushed behind more. Pop-out bits are seldom used it seems.

  17. Re:Thanks Mark on Shuttleworth To Step Down As Canonical CEO In 2010 · · Score: 1

    I did exactly the same thing after hearing that the ugly gnome-shell will or might be default on Gnome 3.0. I initially installed KDE 4.3.x to get used to kde so that when gnome-shell was default I didn't have to then. Just the other day did I reinstall with Kubuntu to keep my system client -- no gnome for me anymore.

    I'm counting to three and if you're still using that p2p client by the time I get to three then you're going to sit on the naughty chair and think about how you stole from those rich rights holders.

  20. Re:Fair Use? on Former Congressman Learns About Streisand Effect · · Score: 1

    I think his first line of defense is to claim that he is the content creator. It might work, but then again, he's not 'The Creator' so probably not.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand's_nuclear-free_zone

    "In 1984, Prime Minister David Lange barred nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed ships from using New Zealand ports or entering New Zealand waters."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Nuclear_Free_Zone,_Disarmament,_and_Arms_Control_Act_1987

    The act established the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone comprising all New Zealand territory (including ocean territory and airspace) and prohibited "entry into the internal waters of New Zealand by any ship whose propulsion is wholly or partly dependent on nuclear power" and banned the dumping of radioactive waste within the nuclear-free zone, as well as prohibiting any New Zealand citizen or resident "to manufacture, acquire, possess, or have any control over any nuclear explosive device."
