Downloading an image might be slightly simpler than getting a program to download a Flash video, but you'd be amazed how computer-illiterate people can be. Even if he figured out how to download the video, he would then have to figure out where he downloaded it and which program to use to open it.
I think you are missing the thread of this conversation. The question is whether or not Youtube would consider offering Theora files. Someone above claimed that offering Theora files would allow people to download the videos (ie, watch them while not pointing their browser to Youtube). Someone else responded that tools exist to download Flash videos. The AC I responded to claimed that "Jow Sixpack" couldn't use those tools. I would argue that someone who can't use those tools would be equally incapable of downloading a Theora file.
I don't know how to tell you this man... but if I may, the repeated use of M$ in your posts makes you look like a moron, which I'm sure you're not (well, I hope).
I dunno, I always found installing programs with apt-get easier than on my wife's Mac. Why is it easier to find the program, drag it to applications, and then drag that link to the menu than just install it with synaptic?
Yes, I saw that his word was "insignificant," I elected to replace it with irrelevant in my post since that is what would be more important in this context. And while 143 people from group X may not be representative of group Y, those 143 people most certainly may be representative of group X itself.
I hope, for your users' sake, you don't actually parse JSON that way. If you don't believe me, just wait til a site passes you the JSON string "alert('P0wned!')"
I think you need to go back to stats and look up statistically insignificant. Namely, 222 *can* be a large enough sample size, depending on the variance of the results.

No; in soviet russia, you nag them.
They nag each other instead of nagging you?
France, is that you?
It's not?
Please... no single human could code that much bloat.
whoosh
Triple booting?
What part of "average consumer" did you not understand?
Hardware vendors? If it weren't for Vista, how many average consumers would want 3GB ram?
Note: most of that list was alphabetical.
And a few weeks from now we could wait a few weeks without the economy imploding yes?

I think the idea is to get Youtube to provide Theora in addition to Flash.
Same way average "Jow Sixpack" (sic) wouldn't be able to figure out how to download a Theora file and play it.
Unless someone already hacked your DNS server and are serving you a fake OpenDNS page that points to their own server...
Thanks! I've learned so much from your post! I'll avoid even-number-ended releases like Ubuntu 8.04. Can you point me where to download 8.0?

Just a thought.
You must be new here.... (Note: GP is Twitter)
But at least we know that patent will hold up: no prior art.

Well, you could have a json function which does that job of eval, only validating in the process. That would probably speed up code significantly.
