Oh yes. I'm sure, much like string theory, that one of the billions of possible HTML5s out there in the "HTML 5 landscape" might one day be proven to possibly be able to do anything you might want to be able to do. However the odds of that particular HTML 5 variant existing in our parallel universe are vanishingly small.
Such a pity that it went that way. It could have been so beautiful.

So what? If you use an insecure connection you know you are vulnerable to people who like to read your email and see what websites you visit. And the owner of the connection risks getting all kinds of viruses for free, and people downloading pr0n and other stuff via her network. Who else but the two people I mentioned should care?
And cut and paste between applications in MS Office didn't work very well for quite a few years after that.
And later they broke the cut and paste option again by pasting all the properties of a text with the text as standard. How annoying! And the worst part is that a while later the OpenOffice team had copied that behaviour from MS! Grrr!
Why did we go to the moon? Certainly not for sane reasons like science or economy. People go into space because it's there. Exploring is part of human nature. And since we have explored most of the earth by now, it's time to go somewhere else. There doesn't have to be an object of doing things.
You mentioning the rabbit shows your ignorance. There is no proof whatsoever that that rabbit's earlessness was caused by Fukushima. There's not even proof that that rabbit was really born there.
Since when is going nuclear 'progress?' I am not against nuclear power plants, but they have been around for 60 years or so, and they still rely on limited resources. In my opinion, 'progress' is making the change to a 100% use of renewable energy.
This is not exactly news, is it? This spider's ancestors have been using the technique for a very long time. And it's not like this spider was recently discovered.
While I agree with Jack Christie that it's ridiculous that he is suspended for posting some videos on YouTube, I don't like the video featured in the article at all. Juvenile nonsense. Grow up Jack.
Pity that the only picture available is some unclear SEM picture of the worm's head. Why not a picture of the whole animal? Now we still don't know what it looks like and how long it is.
I think people in Bahrein and Libya and some other countries like China, for instance, will think otherwise. So people do listen to you, and they have some very nasty ways to stop you saying what you want.

Corruption is legal in the US. Nothing will happen.
Yeah but in the US 'global' means 'on the land mass between New York and San Fransisco.'
HTML5 can do it, no?

Oops, sorry, I replied to soon. It's not in the FAQ.
Read the FAQ.

Let's hope it stays open.
Isn't that everywhere? It's certainly the same here in the Netherlands.
I have an account on /. since 1996 or so.

Good point. But you have to start somewhere.
I think it's childish too. Why not spend all that money on things like making better products, or, better yet, fighting the hunger in Africa?

I guess they will make it Windows exclusive and kill Skype in the process.
Amen sir! If I had mod points I would mod you up.
Actually, stupid stuff like that is what you would want a Duke Nukem game to be.
Only if you are between 4 and 9 years old. And even back then I would have found that video disgusting.
That review is anything but bad. I think it's a very good review of a shockingly bad game. But to each his/her own.

That's right, but he should make better videos ;)
