Like many of you, I'm working with two monitors. I'm trying to watch an episode on Channel9's vid-cast, but every time I click back onto my other monitor, the video exits fullscreen-mode, and goes back to a tiny box on the page. Is it possible to keep a video in full screen, while working on the second monitor?

Flash is designed to not let you use full screen while it doesn't have focus. Probably to keep web pages from taking over your desktop.
I can't speak for silverlight, but flash will:
It is possible to change one of the DLL files flash uses with a hex editor to keep it open. The exact steps to change the DLL changes with every flash version.

This will probably break on every flash upgrade.
