I have a question for you, Tiberius. I have an AMD Phenom quad core processor on a Gigabyte MA780G-UD3H motherboard with 8 gigs of DDR2 ram, an ATI Radeon 4800 series graphics card with 1 gig of video ram with a RAID 10 array running Windows 7 64 bit ultimate. I have had a long-running issue with video on this machine. If I watch a streamed movie, such as a movie on Netflix using Microsoft silverlight, after the movie is over, if I try to watch a video on, for instance youtube (i.e., video that uses Adobe flash or some other renderer), but also elsewhere, the video will not run. The only way I've been able to remedy the problem is to reboot the computer. I do not have this problem after watching dvds or blueray or any video native to my computer. Only with streaming video do I have this problem. I have done a pretty extensive search on the internet and can find no other solution to this problem. I suspect it is simply an issue inherent with Windows x64, but I could be wrong. All of my drivers along with Silverlight and flash are updated. I also get this issue regardless of the browser I use (I have IE9, Chrome, and Opera). Have you seen this before, and if so, do you have any suggestions for resolving this issue.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
