The probability of a finite sequence not appearing in pi would be zero if the digits were random (This is a consequence of the Borel-Cantelli lemma... if you are not familiar with it, think of the finite sequence as Shakespeare's works and the randomness of the sequence coming from monkeys typing on a typing machine... it's the same thing), but zero probability does *not* mean it can't occur. For example, suppose we have a lottery where any real number may be chosen. What is the probability that I will win, given that I chose one number? What's the probability that I will win, given that I chose *all* rational numbers? (They're both zero, but it doesn't mean I can't win!)
[...] when was the last time Mozilla was bold and invented and introduced something new and exciting into actual (X)HTML rendering or ECMAScript(JavaScript)?
Regarding HTML, you may want to take a look at WhatWG.
Regarding JavaScript, the what's new in JavaScript 1.6 at Mozilla Developer Center might help, too (By the way, Mozilla CTO, Brendan Eich, created JavaScript while working at Netscape).

Google licensed the game. Luis von Ahn even gave a lecture at Google some time ago (which you can watch here)

Not a bug. Ian Hickson explains:

The question is... will the Cray actually come with AOL CDs?
Here's the code for the service:
int
main(int argc, char** argv)
{
printf("This article is a dupe");
return 0;
}
Obviously, CmdrTaco is the anonymous reader who wrote the "stroy" ("Philidelphia" was a nice one, too)... ;)
That's --enable-svg
The reason is a licensing issue related to libart, AFAIK
