I'm thinking about getting one of these sheets of solar filter for my dSLR and making a pipe fitting like the top rated review shows. Looks like it should hopefully be dark enough since they use it for certified viewers too. I might save a bit of this sheet for my smartphone camera, though - but there'd be no safe way to look at the screen to see if I aimed that camera correctly since the shades would be too dark to see the screen with.
I know Slashdot is full enough of pedants, but hypoxia is a name for the phenomenon/condition - not the name of the place. You could call it a hypoxic zone. You could call the state of the area hypoxia. You can't call the place hypoxia.
MP3 players without WiFi are pretty clunky in 2017
Requiring connectivity limits where you can use it and makes it a security liability once it's out of support.
A player that can store music can work for decades if replacement batteries are available. If I could get my hands on a Classic with Flash storage and an easy to replace battery, I'm set for life. If I want to stream occasionally, I have my phone for that.
All it takes is one person to keep a copy of the standalone installer to preserve the old stuff. It has no business being used on the web anymore, and that's the rallying cry here.
I think that batteries (and supercapacitors) are going to be able to start helping stabilize current by then. There is a lot of waste in an internal combustion engine, too - only about 20% of the energy burned is actually utilized.
Even if you're burning gas and diesel at electrical plants to generate the electricity, there has to be some economies of scale at work here to give better efficiency. More than enough to outweigh transmission losses and battery charging losses.
xenoestrogens in plastics - like BPA that comes in contact with food and even lines most metal food cans. It's much closer in concentration than you'd find in birth control pills diluted by a lake after sewage treatment, but both are a factor. PCBs like you'd find in office fluorescent tubes (once they get really old) become airborne and get breathed in. They're everywhere.
Soybeans produce phytoestrogens and soy byproducts are used in almost everything as far as industrial food goes.
are much more effeminate than just a generation ago.
You actually may actually be on to something. Part of that can be obesity (estrogen is generated by fat cells). But xenoestrogens from plastics (esp. BPA) and phytoestrogens from soy are entering the diet and the water supply in increasing quantities.
Lots of discontinued programs have been preserved by end users to continue running pretty much forever (by emulation or virtualization). Flash already has an.exe player for SWF files included with the flash installer. Get an old offline installer for Flash Player and you're good to go - you don't want an insecure older version of Flash in your browser, though.
Before CC, the Adobe trials wouldn't even let you use the save feature - I think the only watermarks were in video renders. I ran the current CC trial last year for 30 days and I was able to save with no problem and no visible watermarks in Photoshop and Illustrator. This is because you have to activate the trial with an Adobe account and the software won't function in trial mode until you do.
Everything *I* played - I never played SWF games; always looked like junk to me. But I do have several DOS and Windows games running under DOSBox. You Don't Know Jack runs great on Windows 95 on top of DOSBox - other games I use 3.1 or 98. I imagine I could easily get older SWF games running directly on the Flash.exe on Windows 95/98. These are all launched from a TV remote from MythTV, and I can exit most of them with the remote also. Windows is set to shut down when the autorun game exits, but the game isn't set as the shell because that's too messy.
While I have the cartridges, I outsourced the dumping. Or at least I have the plausible deniability to say that I sold the dumper when I was finished. I have pristine ROMS and the original cartridges and that's good enough for me.
Also, some of that functionality exists in CS6, I think. I don't know, I don't use Flash and the rest of my CS suite is at 5.5 because I'm not a subscriber.
Are you equating the quality of Flash games with iconic console games? By the time 3 years passes, no one will care about the flash games. As it stands, I have emulation set up for everything I played prior to Wii. And I still spend time on NES games.
No kid just yet, but I have plenty of experience owning console games.
Define people. Slashdot users are not typical users and installing an application is above many of their skill levels (as is typing a web address into the address bar).
Is worse for everyone but big corps and big media who can use it to make sure video only plays on approved OSes on approved devices.
When the alternative is not being offered digital video at all, I don't really care. HTML5 mostly supports the same codecs as Flash. And Flash is much more of a black box than HTML/JS is currently even with DRM.

Do you want someone to teach you about fonts and serifs or are you too lazy to look for yourself? The pun is funny.

Are you aware of what moist entity causes it to run off in the first place?
harmful low-oxygen dead zones known as hypoxia

They don't have to be made for it to be good for it.

It's a third world problem too, when Apple only wants to sell luxury items. There are other manufacturers, but competition is good for the market.

Dynamic doesn't mean animated in this context. It means updating with external data based on the inputs.

Nazi is a proper noun, even when you're verbing the noun. Maybe.

Are these games in active development or something? Sign up for a 30-day trial, open / convert / save / done. Never touch it again.
For new games, you can learn HTML/JS directly, and it's an open standard.

What steps would the parent of the child who wants to play the game go about tracking down the author of the file in order to initiate conversion?
That was a response to this - because it's certainly not true.
there's a lot of on-line games that are not practical or reliable in JavaScript/Html5 yet
Regardless, the answer is that the parents of the child are in charge and too bad if the child wants to run Flash. The home IT department says no.
What is the replacement easy to use programming and creation environment for artists?
Open up the .fla file in Adobe Animate, go to the Command menu and choose "Convert to HTML5 Canvas from AS3 document formats"
Debug a bit. Done.
