I disagree. Strongly. I tried drinking it when I was in Dublin for a weekend and I didn't like it one bit. Me not liking a beer is a very rare occurrence, I guess it's an acquired taste. Maybe it requires some sort of Anglo-Guiness-Beer gene which people from the mainland miss. You should try some Dutch or Belgian speciality beers.

We've been having a weird problem with the NG Flash API where the Flash Player would totally hang when an ad loaded -- but only with a debugger attached (e.g. ctrl+shift+enter in the IDE). This was really annoying for people who used Flash Builder or FlashDevelop, because they are usually running in debug mode.

At first I thought it was just a bad ad doing something dumb, but it seemed to happen with most ads, and why only in debug mode? It doesn't help that we don't really have access to the ad FLAs. So I decompiled an ad to try to narrow down what the hell was going on... I was thinking that maybe Flash was choking on the video in an ad for some reason.

After lots of fiddling, here's what it was:

Stage.showMenu = false;

If you load an AS2 movie with that line of code in an AS3 movie using Loader, Flash will hang if a debugger is attached!? :)

So I threw a bug report at Adobe yesterday, and got this e-mail back today:

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your bug report, I can reproduce it, and this bug has been fixed in Argo beta, you can try it.

Hi5 Adobe :)

I like being able to ace exams/tests without studying at all. It's a nice skill to have.

Eugh, it's definitely decent, but you can't go a night on them. Your mouth just becomes sore, like you've been to the dentist, or your stepfather's.

the events are merely fictional, written, directed, and acted out by all who create them

The site was allegedly allowed access in China, but only if the site was tailored to be pro communist. Some of the staff made communist games and certain words were censored n' stuff. If was pretty hilarious.
