  1. Re:A confusing summary on /., let me try to do bet on Potential 0-Day Vulnerability For BIND 9 · · Score: 1

    that link you posted says it was patched 2 weeks ago. It makes no mention of the date the exploit was found. How do you know this was part of the software for decades?

    Section 6: "The payloads we considered for strategic strike included both nuclear and non-nuclear options. The major objective of the nuclear forces we describe is to maintain deterrence."
    While Section 6.4 goes into detail. There's no mention of it being exclusively nuclear. Your post is still hyperbole.

    Because the Arab ghettos are within the death zone of any nukes on the main population centres?

    That, and everyone would come and fuck you up in retaliation. Nuclear or not.

    I was going to ask what the above article had to do with video, since this is likely going to be a precursor to Adobes Canvas editor, rather than any kind of Video focused tool. For that they have Premiere.

    They've all but removed classes. You can gain a boost to one of three classes of skills (Mage, Thief or Fighter) and using them skills them up faster, so if you use magic you get better at it (and level up) and if you use Melee and Armour those level up faster.

    Not yet convinced it's the best way, but it's not exploitable in the same way Oblivions was.

    I had no idea about the real-world lego rewards. That sounds awesome. One of the reasons I was in the Lego Club when I was a wee nipper.

  12. Re:Momentum on Ballistic Clipboard Holds Papers, Stops Bullets · · Score: 2

    However, Moments come into play too. With your wrist as the fulcrum, hitting the middle or far edge of the clipboard is still going to send it some distance back towards you. If it doesn't cause bruising to the impact site, it's probably going to sprain your wrist.

    all preferable to a bullet in the gullet.

    750 people are losing their jobs. It says so in the article. Hell, it says so in the Summary. Albeit obtusely.

  14. Re:At last! on Adobe Ends Development of Flash On Mobile Browsers · · Score: 1

    what are you on about?
    So long as you can get the absolute reference to the .flv you can download it, regardless as to whether it's flash or HTML 5. Add on to that the fact you can use FRAPS or most other Screen Recorders to capture the video should the stream be encrypted and it doesn't matter either way.

    Flash is dominant in the video space because it got there first. The .flv format is reasonably good compression wise, and it plays MP4s as well, so most of the web video is currently encoded in one of those formats. The reason it's staying there in the face of HTML5 video is that most browsers are capable of displaying flash (and therefore the video) in EXACTLY the same way from EXACTLY the same source.

    until HTML5 can offer that, or until flash is abandoned by Adobe entirely, HTML5 will lag behind.

    Those are Airports, places you have to wait in for hours for your aircraft. There's plenty of private places you can be to whack off to said mags before you fly off.
    Not only that, but buying it at an airport you're never going to be at again means that some of the shame of meeting someone who KNOWS you bought porn is minimal. That's why 'Lads Mags' have taken off in the UK atleast, there's less of a Stigma in buying Nuts than buying "Dirty MILF Whores Monthly".
    We're a strange race sometimes, but there you go.

    Frankly I look down at anyone who buys porn. They just don't know how to turn off safe search.

    It's more that, traditionally, playing pocket billiards is done at home, by your self, or with a very good friend, and not in a cramped tin box sitting next to a stranger.

    also, Aircraft air is stale enough without adding the musty odour of after-sex.
