Not at all. One of the last footholds of Flash is the ability to write a Native App for iOS and Android with Adobe AIR. What Steve Jobs was talking about was the Flash Browser plug-in -- which was unviable as a mobile browser experience. Hell, Google bent over backwards to give Adobe everything they claimed Apple denied them and couldn't get it to run in a stable or usable manner on Android.
And a boring life lived with every opportunity for fun, pleasure and adventure "given up" for safety while so many times, having never gotten anything out of it but regret for passing up something you actually wanted.
Any business that still wants programmers to make apps in flash are stupid
Name one other way to transmit a live video & audio stream from the browser that works across all major platforms that doesn't require a download and install.
Besides Flash/Flex, AS, just purely suck as a language, utter putrid crap.
AS3 is essentially Java with most of the same features as most other strongly typed OO languages.
Please make all firewalls block flash. Make firefox not even accept flash plugins, ban it , black list it.
Yes, let's kill off browser-based internet video chat for the next few years and go with vendor specific implementations from Google and Apple!
No one should be able to create a video app until Google lets them!
Flash needs to die, but the fact is HTML5 has yet to provide a means to provide device access and a streaming AV codec. Sure, Opus is great, but not the standard and will likely never be adopted by Apple and WebRTC is great, but not the standard and has issues with implementation requirements (ICE servers, Turn/Stun).
Yes, anything that puts science to a face and makes it approachable, normal and something to be admired or respected is always a good thing.
In the US, so much emphasis is put on wealth that we have seen an astronomical rise in MBAs and JDs while STEM programs have languished by comparison.
Al Qaeda, ISIS and their ilk aren't centralized organizations and can't be easily doxxed, DDoS'd or fought in an electronic manner. Bear in mind that the average terrorist has a less than average IQ and a higher than average belief in religion with a strong tendency toward violence. Their use of computers is at the same level as your typical non-technical user: Facebook, twitter, chat and email. So while Anonymous might cause them some hassle, it will ultimately require putting a gun to these people's heads and pulling the trigger.
The Russian government is rabid with fear at the moment.
At the moment? You were aware that Stalin the prime motivator behind Stalin's atrocities was paranoia don't you?
The Gov't of Russia has been in a perpetual state of freak-out for nearly a century.
Thank god I enabled FileVault on my shiny new MBP the day I got it.
I'll research your recommended CLI command -- but from what I can make of it, it looks good.
Show me how the Nazis were ever about Socialism.
You want a fact? Every Socialist country on Earth has a higher standard of living, better education, better health care and more vacation time than America
And dipshits like you talk about it like that's a bad thing bagging groceries at Walmart for $7.00/hr.
Now I shall a rear bumper with an LED display to tell other drivers what to do!
Now excuse me while I execute 1000 consecutive lane changes in rush hour traffic -- I've got important places to be
FTC took the Video Post community by storm, quickly gaining broad acceptance throughout the industry, knocking Premier off it's pedestal for desktop-class video editing software
Then they came out with Final Cut Pro X and when their users complained about the rampant bugs, overly simplified iMovie style interface and defeaturization, Apple told their user base to go fuck themselves -- as Apple is want to do and Premier went back to being on top again.
Anyway, far from being a learning moment for Apple -- this has been wholly adopted as their corporate ideology when it comes to their user apps. A lot of it is a focus on iOS and trying to make everything fall in line with iOS -- this was clear as early as 2007 when a trip to the Apple store had their laptop and desktop add-ons shunted to dusty corners while iPhone cases and accessories dominated the store. So this has beed a mentality years in the making based solely on spreadsheets of product sales and not user needs regarding user experience.
Even Woz wrote a rant (now pulled it seems) about ditching OS X in favor of Linux over the frustration of the mounting shit-pile of bugs and anoyances with OS X

feeding the average Joe's need to think they themselves could be an action hero?
So the "Average Joe" is literate, well spoken, well coiffed, can travel the world while getting dirty work done?
What world is this that you live in?
I think Taken just appeals to the audience that enjoys Bond, Bourne and Mission Impossible movies.
Sure, he's not a "covert agent", but he does all the same sort of stuff.
The real assholes here are MS and Sony for knowingly maintaining insecure networks even after Lizard Squad already took them down and publicly warned that it was but a taste of what was to come on Christmas.
These ASSHOLES couldn't be bothered to conduct security audits or take any action at all to prevent the take down they knew was coming.
Why? Because they are ASSHOLES and the industry has found that paying for security is far more expensive that letting the attackers do whatever. Sony, Target, Staples et a have seen first hand that it doesn't matter how much consumer info you give attackers, the consumers that were harmed will always come back and there is no punishment to be faced.
Until Congress passes Federal Laws criminalizing maintaining known insecure networks that contain sensitive consumer data that either opens the gates for Class Action Suits and imposes substantial Legal Penalties, we wont see this behavior changed.
say...speaking of shitty fantasy trilogies i thought that shit with the blue aliens was supposed to be a trilogy? whatever happened? i guess the merchandising and bluray sales didn't really hit expectations for a new sci-fi property/brand?
We here at James Cameron Heavy Industries are happy to report that not only did international Blu-Ray® DVD sales meet market expectations, they totally and utterly surpassed them. As such, we've turned the planned Trilogy into a TETRALOGY! That's right -- not two more, but THREE MORE 3D IMAX EXPERIENCE movies featuring cutting edge CGI technology for you to spend every last hard earned dollar on tiny theatre seats and cold, greasy popcorn
Sadly, this embarrassment of riches has caused us to push back the production schedule a bit to accommodate HIS Lord Jim's latest round of ass-raping of the Terminator franchise and to allow for more production coordination with Disney to develop a world wide network of Avatar theme parks in disney properties world-wide.
"These are big, monster bursts of gamma rays, and one would think these must be monster storms producing them. But that's not the case. Even boring-looking, garden-variety, little storms can produce these."
When they get angry, they can become hulking MONSTER storms
Considering that a surface mission is completely unfeasible and that they would effectively be little more than equipment operators, it seems the only benefit to a manned mission would be "less latency" in controlling the equipment vs drone style operators based here on Earth.
Personally, aside from "bragging rights" for pulling off the first manned Venus Mission I do not see anything that could remotely justify the risk of life and massive financial costs a manned mission would incur.

The results are in perfect agreement with predictions from the 1990s--there are no grandfather-type paradoxes
Nice first step, but I'll be more impressed when the results are in agreement with predictions from the 1890s
Maybe that was my point -- that the "hanger" was putting it back inte Rutan's capable hands. Sorry if my humor was too subtle.
Is that what they are calling Burt Rutan's Garage these days?
Can it turn your toast back into bread again?
Except they don't vet the operators and happily direct young women into rape mobiles

Just like in Natural Born Killers! Maybe we can add "filters" to give it a retro feel and sound fx!

And it is well known that our Government now considered ALL CITIZENS as criminals who merely have not been convicted yet.
