I booted sliverblight off my computers a year ago. I've yet to see a single instance of Error: Silverblight not installed since. OTOH every second website I visit requires me to click to play flash videos. It's annoying enough that I'm tempted to go back to my old policy of having flash autoplay but writing content blocking rules to remove video divs from all new sites to stop them from autoplaying.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Both Google and Bing like to let their hair down from time to time with some fun features on their search sites, like the rather spooky interactive homepages they served up for Halloween a couple of years back. Can I put in a request for Tetris next?

You still talking about programming? 
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

A new programming language survey shows Apple’s Swift breaking into the top 20 for the first time, while the future of Microsoft’s Visual Basic (VB) in the top rankings is now “unclear”. "Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?"

How do you write code that other people want to use? Facebook’s Brian Gesiak talks about two elements he finds necessary to write compelling code: precision and convenience. Compelling! Couldn't wait to compile again. I especially enjoyed the switch statement in Act 2.

Ah, yes, it has nicely rounded 0s and pointy 1s.

Everyone look down the backs of your couches and in your old coat pockets. I'm sure we can put together a collection of spares.

Well, whatever you guys do, don't use 127.0.0.1.
That's an important IP address for me.

Dear Sir Kent Sharkey, maybe you don't know, in this forum one can also write links like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z54-QHEZN6E[^]
The above is not the best but at least it is clicky.
I'm also beginner here, but do not hesitate to contact me in case I can help you with links. I will give my best to help.
Yours sincerely

Hi Bruno,
Thank you for that tip. The song lyrics (without link) was intentional though.

I've started to recover and reuse old mistakes I made as being 20 plus years in the business I've recently run out of the good (nasty,dirty, etc.) ones.
The only problem is that I have to introduce them at random (with an appropriate decay time) during the build process otherwise debugging just wouldn't be much of a challenge anymore. 
Cheers!
