    Re: The HTML5 War

    One of the advantages of having a video tag in HTML5 was supposed to be the simplification of codecs. With HTML5-compliant browsers shipping with a single universally-suppported codec, it becomes...

    [SOLVED] Re: How to Set Aliases in Ubuntu 8.04?

    You're using the syntax for setting variables.

    The correct syntax for aliases is
