    Actually it was Kramer warming up his clothes in the silicon fab oven.

    That background color only works with a dual monitors setup.

    Really? I don't recall seeing as for the last few years.

    Opera hasn't had ads since at least 3 or 4 major versions, if not more.

    Don't attribute all the credits to Firefox alone. Apple has been pushing Safari a lot lately and Opera aren't just sitting around, Opera is improving a lot too.

    Only works if you're using Firefox and I'm not going to switch browsers for that.

  8. Re:Who misses flash? on iPhone Web Claims Draw Governmental Rebuke in UK · · Score: 1

    I haven't really read it yet, but this should be what you are looking for.

    The fact that it's noted as "HTML video example with plug-in fallback" is a plus.

  9. Re:Who misses flash? on iPhone Web Claims Draw Governmental Rebuke in UK · · Score: 1

    HTML5 may still be a draft, however the iPhone/iPod touch uses Safari and supports the media tag. Detecting "mobile safari" and serving an H.264 video inside an HTML5 media tag should pose no problem, unless the final specs differ from the current draft (in which case a simple update should do the trick).

    That's the only way, right now, to put video on your webpage for iPhone/iPod touch users. On the upside, once the other browsers (Firefox, Opera and IE8?) support HTML5 and the media tag, that's going to be the standard version and you'll be able to dump the "detect mobile safari" part.

    What would be nice is for Google to add white and blacklists to our personal search settings.

    Because it doesn't play YouTube flash videos. The iPhone/iPod touch accesses YouTube's videos files encoded in H.264, without a flash player wrapped around it.

    Websites can (and should) detect Safari and use the HTML5 media tags to play their videos (in MPEG-4/H.264), too.

    Do you mean that exoskeleton comes with building-leveling lasers too?

  14. Re:What about a small, silent, low-power FF XI box on The Best Gaming PC Money Can Buy · · Score: 1

    That would just be a bonus side-effect. The main goal is to lower the power, heat and noise while still gaining a few frames per second (and/or the ability to play in higher than 640x480).

  15. What about a small, silent, low-power FF XI box? on The Best Gaming PC Money Can Buy · · Score: 1

    I'm looking for a minimum score of 5000~6000 with Vanad'iel Benchmark 3 at the "high" setting. The more fanless components, the better. The lower the prices, the better too.

    My current Athlon XP 2400+, 512MB and Radeon 9600XT 128MB AGP runs FF XI fine in 640x480 with all details at maximum, however the power supply fan + CPU fan + GPU fan = quite annoying, not to mention the heat and wasted power.

    Surely extremely low-end components of 2008 could run FF XI much better for a lot less power and be fanless too?

    We're currently at a huge crossroad: multiple-core processors, GPUs, etc.
