@talkingstove: No, but it's his fault for trying to draw conclusions when there's too much fragmentation to get an accurate comparison. He should have just said that. Also, that table is just plain hard to read, and should have been broken into two tables: one for flash 10.0 and one for 10.1

Does anyone else find this to be terrible data reported even more poorly? The headline is HTML5 vs. Flash, but only ONE configuration (chrome) actually compares the two head-on. The chart is poorly-organized and hard to read, and there's not enough data to back up anything about flash vs HTML5. Really, this data shows…

I am a chemical engineer, and worked an internship in the food industry.

Don't forget the Daily Show and Colbert report for your after-news recap.

I'd start off trying IPA (rubbing alcohol) as it's less damaging and should be almost as effective. Then move to hairspray.

One thing I've done for years while sitting for extended periods is to lean back slightly (not against a backrest), lift both feet about an inch off the ground, and keep your abs taught. Keep it up until you feel the burn, rest for a minute, and repeat. It'll also keep you warm if you're in a chilly room. Try it while…
