Poalized dont do anything for glare except on water from direct sunlight.
Polarized glasses eliminate any light not in the proper orientation, regardless of its source. In the example of sunglasses, besides water it also reduces glare from the streets themselves, metal (manhole covers), etc.
Nah, that was just a poor joke.:) Had she been going 52 and collided with the SUV, I assume the SUV's insurance company would successfully argue that she was double-digit percent at fault for the accident.
I used to work for a guy that always speeded (sped?). He could never figure out why people always cut him off changing lanes or by pulling out in front of him. He just couldn't understand that other drivers don't expect and aren't used to other vehicles going must faster than the speed limit.
Or just realise that you regularly leave your car unattended outside, at the mercy of nature and people in the area, and don't worry about small dents and scratches. Leave the dents there and just polish off the scratches to prevent rust. Cars need to look shiny and pristine only if you're foolish enough to believe everything the marketing department tells you.
My car got bumped a few days ago and now the backup object sensor is giving "false positives". Yeah, first world problems, but now I have to decide if the beep is bogus or my kid is behind the car. I'll have to fix it $$$ or turn it off and validate about what's behind me like I did for 31 years and humans have done for about 250 years but that's one of the safety features that made me buy this particular car after spawning. I don't give a hoot about the missing paint on the bumper or the four year old dent on the side, it's not an iPhone.
If you watch it in slow motion, you see an intact jet fuselage disappear (probably into a ditch) and then see the results of it slamming into the other side with debris flying up and over. That was the real crash, not the plane 4 wheeling off-road after overrunning the runway. I assume there were some kind of arresting barriers but if those wheels were from the nose gear the barriers sure didn't do much. The moments before this video were probably boring with the plane simply continuing on past the runway. The final impact was the money shot. Another angle would have been Hollywood perfect but in real life you take what you can get.
Older browser version with vulnerability -> JavaScript -> Flash ActiveX -> Java -> sad clown face. Should anyone be surprised? Here's a link to the CERT KB for more information.
Why would anyone deserve to get hacked for just running an old version of a software?
Because the immense majority of them are corporate users whose IT managers should know better.
IT Managers manage the entire attack surface area, which is why corporate users are typically behind a number of defenses that shield them from malware. And corporations often have policies in place that govern use of the browser/internet. Yes, it's still possible to go out and get zapped. Where I work that person will have a visit from the Security Dept. to be reminded of our policies and explain their browsing / download history. IMHO it boils down to more of a user problem than an old version technology problem. One person can be safe on IE 7 and someone else can get popped on Windows 8.
“Our study shows that a two-hour exposure to light from self-luminous electronic displays can suppress melatonin by about 22 percent," said Mariana Figueiro, the lead researcher. “Stimulating the human circadian system to this level may affect sleep in those using the devices prior to bedtime.”
Interesting you bring that up. I've started looking at the effects of light on mood and there is some hard science behind it, e.g., light therapy for Seasonal Affected Disorder (SAD). I didn't read the linked article, but I assume it discusses certain light wavelengths that stimulate (or repress) responses in the body.

Qt 5.0 Released
·
· Score: 0
If you didn't already know what Qt was, then you're probably not going to be particularly interested that version 5.0 is out.
Of course I know what QuickTime is. I occasionally uninstall it so I can reinstall it and get the offer to upgrade to Pro so I can see the chick on the surfboard.
I work from home (connected to the work network 24/7), the kids stream Netflix all the time, the wifey is at home all day on wifi, I'm on wifi all day for personal stuff, Carbonite backups, iOS devices backing up and downloading apps, etc., etc. It's unusual for me to go over 200GB and it's usually around 180.
I'm guessing you've not used Visual Studio, SQL Server Management Studio, MS Office, Windows 8 or any other MS product. When you install an app that has ties to the "Customer Experience Improvement" stuff, there is a handy balloon at the bottom of your taskbar which invites you to click to opt out. If you dismiss the balloon, the icon in your systray stays there showing that you're collecting data.
I'm not sure how much more upfront you can get. Honestly. (And I opt out immediately for anything I use.)

No modern browser needs it nowadays.
It depends on what you're trying to do.
Proper web browsing hygiene protected users from this zero-day vulnerability...
I'm not sure what you mean by that. What is "proper web browsing hygiene"?

The real question though is, did they fine the pilot for littering?
Considering the pilot was killed, no. A fifth person died so keep the jokes coming.

And if we're picking nits, she ended up going 52 MPH in a 45 MPH zone. :)
GP: Thanks for posting the vids. Very cool.
Wrong installation? I've stayed away from the dirt cheap bulbs and haven't had an issue with LED lights yet.

lol - I completely missed that.
Who uses IE?
I'd throw out some numbers but they are skewed towared the site measuring them. Wikipedia pulls some sites together in one place.

The research is still early on this. I would be very careful, and I'd limit exposure to flat screen TVs as well.

Also, there are plenty of utilities to restore the Start Orb functionality.

Actually, it's off by default. It's an optional opt-in program.
If people just used Ubuntu, that wouldn't happen.
Or if people don't choose to opt in.
Wish I had mod points. You hit the nail on the head.
It amounts to censorship. Enough said.
I believe the correct response is, "That word doesn't mean what you think it does."
