What exactly does that service provide?

OOP should help make it easier to implement :P

They certainly did.
So far the guys I didn't know and have fallen for are Davies, Jupiter and Lee Mack. They're hilarious. Also Fry is much more lovable compared to his stints in Blackadder.

That, and I'm forfeiting my position :p

It was a rhetorical question, though :P

As for QI... Ended up watching a French quiz show that was on TV, instead. Meh, it sucked. At least QI doesn't offer silly prizes or anything. People are just there for the fun of it, not to win... It's like a family game night, where you learn stuff.
I'm halfway into season 1, and also watched the Tennant and Radcliffe episodes (seasons 7 and 8). The Radcliffe one was pretty great, I'm impressed the show manages to be funny even 8 seasons into it.

I'm not surprised that a 'regular' family, not especially into Who, would be lost with the new seasons... Moffat sort of upped the game when he jumped in. And probably lost a lot of casual viewers in the process. At least for the arc-based episodes. I'm pretty sure River Song is still a mystery to most British citizens...

Oh, they reintegrated it?
Well, it's been in the 12.00 alpha for a few weeks, now. Maybe a couple of months. They actually planned to have it in 11.50 but postponed it to 12.00 probably because it was a 'big' feature.

I was under the impression that WebGL actually depended on HW acceleration to actually function :/
There's no reason for that to happen...
WebGL objects are shown on a canvas, AFAIK. You could easily get away with creating a software surface for the page itself, and have a canvas surface that's rendered through Direct3D, OpenGL or whatever. Just like OpenGL has always worked in regular Windows windows (sure..), i.e. software GDI mixed with hardware surface for OpenGL. At least that was the case back in 1999, I see no reason why this would have changed...

?
Opera has 'reintegrated' it -- rather, integrated it, since it only was a test version before that... Now it's an alpha, which is a bit closer, and hopefully should be a beta before the end of the year. (Normally, Opera releases stable versions in December, but it would seem that this year they're having issues with HW acceleration so they're probably postponing it to early '12.)
BTW, WebGL != HW acceleration, as I'm currently running v12 and I can assure you that even with HW acceleration off, WebGL works perfectly well.

Why did we choose to fork such a huge project in the first place... :P

Alright, time to go watch an episode of QI. I don't know why... I just think it's time eheh.

Hmm, I don't know where I'll be...
Well, I'll be watching it in the morning anyway, considering the delays in getting it in France... :whistle:

I think the WebGL issue is closer to resolution by now... Although I'm not a specialist on the issue. (But I do want to look into doing some 3D coding in the future. Would be nice to get in touch with my earlier life as a 3D dev... Only in a browser. Best of both worlds.)

They just spent a lot of time in the trailer showing low-budget/interior/exposition stuff, when they should have shown more about the 'other' world...

Personally never liked flash that much, seems HTML5 may be the road to take.
Certainly, but is it perfect? No it isn't. Is Flash here to stay? Perhaps not -- but right now there are, unfortunately, many applications that can't be done without Flash. Anything that uses the webcam -- or even a video player using a single file format for all browsers... Only Flash has that. WebM support in all browsers is still a long way from here.
