    DownloadHelper or FlashGot download flvs fine. Although of course if they're big files it takes forever.

    Then again, you were probably being sarcastic. I can never tell.

    If his speedometer had a flaw that affected it by 10%, the speed would appear to be legit each time. Of course, there's the matter that he would know the gauge was faulty after the first ticket...

    Well, considering how long Google's been having everything in beta...feels a bit like someone trying to kill a wasp on the gas pedal while they're driving.

    You still have to click a button even if you're the administrator, though. Don't they have a secure software mode thingie to prevent malware from just clicking the button? (cf. other comments on this article)

  11. Re:4x HD for $1m on Surgeon Performs World's First 4X HD Surgery · · Score: 2, Interesting

    From the article:

    Why we did it- the Hollywood connection: New cinematic technologies are transforming the film business today. The two major revolutionary developments are 1) beyond high def “4k” technology - which brings resolution to 4 times that of HD and 2) realistic immersive high definition 3D. I set out to introduce these technologies to the medical world and to see if we could for the first time directly perform surgery in 4k. Setting the goal to once again use technological innovation to improve our patient outcomes.

    In other words, "We did it because HD is a buzzword." If the camera is less than a few cm away from what you're looking at, do you really need that high of a resolution?

    I know this is off-topic, so sorry in advance...

    It is a statistical certainty (p 10e-11) that there are innocent people being held at Guantanamo Bay.

    You can say that about any decent-sized prison. There are always innocent people who get the shaft. That's the system. What's your point?
