Please don't jam your operators together with your operands without whitespace like this. `A.indexOf("video/x-flv") >= 0` is significantly more readable (and fits the style guidelines).

OK. So used to the IDE doing for me that I've become lazy ;)

That's quite incorrect. It might still work sometimes, but who'd want something that works only sometimes?

the only thing I see wrong with it is that I forgot the `>=` and just did a `>`. What else is wrong about it? Would be much more effective criticism if you explained why you think it's wrong rather than just claiming that it is. Thanks
