First elephant autoplaying videos. Dead | X|

Second a million elephant you's to the sunshines who've wrote buggy html5 to flash fallback code that prevents me from enabling my browsers html5 click to play setting if I want to watch videos at all on some video sites (it detects the html5 isn't playing and attempts to launch the flash player in a way that doesn't trigger flash click to play leaving the video watchable) Dead | X| Dead | X| in combination with the sunshines who've recently written an html5 player that somehow manages to play the audio stream even if the player is blocked (I first saw this cancer a month ago, but it's spreading fast to various sites). Dead | X| Dead | X| Dead | X|

PS after striking out on more moderate options I ended up having to block what looks like britecove's generic video player plumbing, so if you were thinking about using BC to host your video content I hope it's not anything I might've cared to watch under other circumstances because my personal adblock list operates under the Hotel California program. D'Oh! | :doh:

PPS I haven't felt grumpy enough to go doubles on these in a while.

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?
--Zachris Topelius

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.
