Meanwhile you can enable native H264 support on linux with the about:config setting "media.gstreamer.enabled". This requires gstreamer with the respective plugin to be installed.

What happened to JPEG 2000?
darkstalker··on Show HN: My x86 emulator written in JavaScript
I can't type "/" or "\" and all the shift-<number> keys combinations are wrong. I'm using an ES layout keyboard on Firefox.
darkstalker··on SteamOS
I'm waiting a LoL for linux so i can uninstall windows.
darkstalker··on RedScript – like CoffeeScript, in Ruby
I'd rather have Lua in the browser.
darkstalker··on jor1k: OR1000 Javascript Emulator Running Linux
Not a bug, asm.js is basically machine code, so it should run nearly at native speed.
darkstalker··on Gabe Newell: Linux is the future of gaming, new hardware coming soon
I still dual boot Windows to play League of Legends.
darkstalker··on Reason #73 why C++ is a terrible intro language
I'd say Lua. It's simple and well designed.
darkstalker··on Trampolines in JavaScript
I wonder why JS doesn't implement tail calls. Lot of effort has has been made optimizing JS engines, but not for this case.

darkstalker··on Razer will not cancel 90%-off test coupons
I got an Abyssus, it has all it's settings as hardware switches, so it doesn't require any software.

Most of the time installing mouse "drivers" for any vendor it's a waste of time, since the settings they provide should be adjusted in-game (default driver should give you a 1:1 sensitivity and 0 acceleration).

darkstalker··on Blocked Sites is discontinued
I just noticed w3schools appearing again in my search results.. well this is the cause.
darkstalker··on Future of Firefox DevTools
I like how Firefox completes the site I want with only typing 1 or 2 characters in the address bar. Also Firefox has a separate search bar that supports plugins (dictionaries, CPAN and stuff like that)

Firebug key is "extensions.firebug.hideDefaultInspector"
darkstalker··on Ask HN: Webdevs, designers: what devtools should we (Mozilla) build in Firefox?
Tree Style Tabs should be a core feature IMHO. It's the single most important feature for me.
darkstalker··on Google Chrome may soon get audio indicators to show you noisy tabs
This. Click to play solved this problem since a long time. For me the noise of a website isn't the music, it's the advertising.
darkstalker··on CSS 3D Clouds
Very slow on Firefox 18.0.2, linux
darkstalker··on Evasi0n iOS 6.x jailbreak
Essential things for me: having openSSH running so I can upload files to my device from linux, and installing a custom "hosts" file to get rid of advertising.
darkstalker··on The PNG image file format is now more popular than GIF
What happened to JPEG 2000? It supports lossless too, but never seen it implemented on browsers.

Dota2 works on wine. All I want is League of Legends for linux.
