I was watching some TV shows online while recuperating from Supercomputing, and ran into this:
“The video you have requested is not available on this device” in Chromium, normal play in Firefox.

Apparently, CBS is blocking video on Chrome/Chromium on Linux in a misguided attempt to block GoogleTV devices. This is why user-agent sensitive web content is bullshit. Browsers are browsers; if you feel like your business model can’t deal with the internet, you have a much, much bigger problem than malicious web design can solve.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
