The video tag will work basically like any MS video setup does: If Windows knows how to play something, meaning the DirectShow codec is installed, then it'll do so.
I don't really blame them. It sounds like sandboxing DirectShow codecs might not be as easy as it could be, and IE cops enough security flack as it is (mostly deserved, of course).
Hardware vendors, software (non-desktop) vendors, registrars, etc.
Which hardware vendors are you thinking of? One of the ongoing problems with native IPv6 deployment is that effectively no consumer-level CPE supports it -- Cisco don't exactly make stuff for Joe Sixpack, after all. As an example, Internode have been the first ISP here in Australia to offer native IPv6 (on a trial basis for now), but have basically had to tell interested people not using newer Cisco routers to use bridge mode, which is decidedly sub-optimal.
Fundamentally, we are going to run out of IPv4 addresses, and as other posts in this thread have said, it's going to be pretty soon in some regions, such as the Asia-Pacific. We need to be planning for this now, not when it actually happens, and if it takes "vested interest groups" to make it happen, so be it.
In certain contexts -- actual ESL classes being an obvious one -- what you say makes sense. But in the broader context of this discussion (IT/science classes and anything similar), I disagree; if a student's going to study at a university that teaches in English, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect them to be able to follow a presentation, even if said presentation is simply a talk around a set of blackboard examples and doesn't feature notes at all.
At any rate, lecture notes shouldn't really be primary written sources anyway. Some people simply learn better from a written text regardless of language: that's why there are textbooks and online references, and a student who's struggling with lectures should probably be looking at those rather than a collection of slides skimming over the material. The lecture notes should really be, at most, an adjunct to what's being said, and that's where the less is more mentality (rightly, IMHO) comes in.
Or some sort of voting system on contributors (how very Web 2.0) so you can see how the people who touched your package were rated with the biggest weighting being given to the last person through the code (hand edited by Linus = 5 stars, hand edited by James Gosling = 5 stars, hand edited by the bloke who wrote clippy = 2 stars, hand edited by a bloke who removed a seed generator = 0 stars).

Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it. Knocking back 2 litre plastic bottles of Borgio Beer on the steppes of Mongolia is damned near my favourite travel moment ever.
Of course, I think all my tastebuds had been killed by a fortnight of vodka and airag anyway, but it sure tasted good at the time.
This slide from a talk delivered in January 2003 describes the same idea of searching by URL content (listed under "Interesting Uses"). I don't remember being particularly surprised by the idea at the time, so I'm sure there's considerably older prior art, but this was the first thing that sprang to mind.

...they've dragged out their Commodore 64s, gotten some help from a guy named Junis to get them connected, and are blogging while watching "Baywatch" and "Temptation Island". Through all this, they're providing their own voices from the hellmouth.
My understanding is that this alpha won't, but the next alpha should. The reflow refactoring branchwas merged back onto trunk recently -- this is a rationalisation of the layout code that fixes a lot of bugs, which also gets Acid 2 rendering properly.
In fairness, the core of the SNES has been well emulated for years; the problem's long been with the various support chips that came on the game cartridges themselves. At least with the Xbox you know what hardware's in there and that the games aren't being supplied with different hardware to emulate.
As the press release linked to in the grandparent notes, the ABC isn't waiting for the repeats to finish before showing the new series (nor should they, given the number of repeat episodes still to show). New episodes start in May.
Cairo's also one of the available rendering backends for Mozilla's SVG project. I was playing with it at work during the week and the results are already quite impressive, even with Mozilla's (or, in this case, Firefox's) still-limited-but-improving SVG support.

That's actually not the case in IE 9: for security reasons (well, OK, a bunch of reasons, but reading between the lines, security's the big one), arbitrary codecs aren't supported within the browser. It'll ship only with H.264 support, and they've announced that WebM will be supported as an add-on, but that's it at the moment.

Your Steve Fielding impression is disturbingly good.
Virgin Mobile here in .au are both official Apple partners and allow tethering, so it would have been pretty unusual if it had been disabled.
Well, it's not like there's anything else to do there...

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Steve?"
"Order the entire production run for our next Zune model! And bring me more chairs!"
There's been more than a few people suggest that Westnet, an ISP here in Perth, could have thought through its new logo a little better, too.
Ah, I see. Proof by explosion.

They are. The big advantage of eAccelerator over Turck is its PHP5 support, rather than performance enhancements.
That only works if you have short_tags enabled, which isn't guaranteed if you're using shared hosting and the like. (Plus, it means that things like
You're forgetting about us Western Australians, you insensitive eastern states clod!

...but the dealer wouldn't care either way. They'd give you the trade-in value based on 100k miles (i.e., next to nothing).
And then they'd sell it based on 20k (ie, quite a bit more) and PROFIT!
OpenTTD seems to be a frighteningly good time waster, too.
You can force a reflow with Ctrl+Minus to reduce the font size, then Ctrl-0 to reset it to normal.
Oh way. You mean someone else invented wifi wallpaper?
Don't worry, I'm sure the USPTO will still give you a patent for it if you get your application in within the next, say, ten years.
Awww, don't forget the Christian Democrats. They're just as bad as Family First, and Fred Nile will feel left out if we don't mention them.
