        <description><![CDATA[but the interesting thing is often in the non-conflation of another language: the speakers of a language rarely think about the differences of meanings assigned to a single word, but seeing the different meanings assigned to different words in another language can really drive it home : these are different things. Like not_dark and flux_of_photons - it can be difficult at times to keep them apart, but physically they're completely different things.There's one theory out there which tries to establish universals of meaning by collecting instances of meanings that all (of a pathetically limited set of) languages agree to place within single-word boundaries. It's called natural semantics I think. Its major problem is its limited sample; by just including a handful of additional languages the whole set of &quot;universals of meaning&quot; could be blown to bits... for example, it already precludes &quot;water&quot; from universal meaning because Japanese (one of the few languages in its sample) differentiates cold water and hot water to different words.That practical implementation flaw aside, its concept is also more fundamentally flawed since it's an exclusive measuring... it implies that natural and random language change is subject to an insurmountable blocking of all changes to words of these &quot;universal meanings&quot; - even though Saussure has very convincingly argued that meaning is amorphous, and that the specific meanings crystallized into our lexicons are ultimately arbitrary (but he was an exceptionally sharp dude, that one).A valid method would go the other way; being inclusive. In the scope of universal field theory, it'd be to assemble as complete field-sets as possible (the field set is composed of examples like the above, light = let(+)/lys = kevyt/vaalea/valo [the (+) just means that let introduced a meaning not covered on the left or right of the equation - the way to handle that would be to link to these meanings on both sides of the equation, making for a 3+ -dimensional object].To get useful information out of it, one should take the finest distinctions: that way one gets a map of the meanings which humans have actually seen a need for - which is far more informative than the arbitrary set of meanings which some languages have not seen a need to discern in greater detail than an arbitrary mean. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Flash isn't strictly necessary for (most of) YouTube's videos.  Google has made sure that YouTube supports HTML 5 video as well, though you have to change a preference on YouTube to use HTML 5 instead of Flash.. . . but Flash does work in Surf.For inline code, use &amp;lt;tt&amp;gt; instead of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt; tags.  TechRepublic's CSS for code tags is kinda broken, unless you use tr-rectify in Firefox (or something equivalent) to apply some custom styling to the page.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Surf supports Flash quite well.Its simplicity is mostly a security advantage.   Simplicity is security , after all -- and it's  an important part of open source security in particular.The simplicity of its interface is a bit of a problem, however, because it is not configurable in any reasonable sense to tighten security according to your usage needs.  It also does not have an extension system, which means that security extensions such as HTTPS Everywhere and Perspectives are essentially impossible for Surf.In short, there are trade-offs.]]></description>
