It is not just Flash. If you read the article more carefully, you would have seen this (from the article):
We use Flash OLE object as an example since Flash (zero-day) exploits are easy to obtain by attackers,
but please note that there are other OLE objects may be abused by attacker, as not only Flash but also a
number of other OLE objects can be loaded in Outlook.
Sorry for not answering, I was away on business yesterday. It is not a Christian hospital (county hospital) in a very conservative Catholic part of Germany. The doctor definitely recommended the procedure but also made it clear that no one at that hospital would do it on purely "ethical" reasons (not my idea of ethics).
A friend of mine got pregnant, unplanned but she was old enough to be happy anyway and say what the hell, I'll be a single mom.
She went for her checkups and scans and the doctor found a cyst in her uterus. The observed it for a couple of weeks and it was growing like crazy. Doctor told her it would kill her long before the baby could be born if she didn't have it removed (which meant removing her uterus and, of course, the fetus).
She was naturally distraught but after a couple of days made the only sensible decision she could and went back to the doctor at that hospital.
He told her with a horrified look and told her that they don't do "that sort of procedure" at this hospital.
She went to a nearby city and had to re-explain everything, have records transferred, etc, in order to save her own life...
You're absolutely correct, for a non-programmer like myself, most of us confuse the algorithm and the code implementing the algorithm and just call them the program (I know that's wrong but it's how I think).
Well, I agree that for a conviction that this is probably insufficient alone, especially when you consider that, the other 5 people, even if you know who they are, may refuse to have their entire genome sequenced as a comparator (I would refuse and I studied genetics), so the comparisons are even weaker.
That is why this computer program needs to be examined even more thoroughly than most people realize.
Whether anyone should be put to death on the basis on any evidence, no matter how sound it is, is a question outside the realm of this discussion.
Funny thing is, most of the common lab rat and mice strains still in use today were originally the product of breeding by hobbyists. so this is just full circle with an animal not so amenable to quick breeding and selection.
Of course you can sequence every base pair of the suspect. The DNA evidence is limiting, the problem is the evidence.
Just for example, pretend we know beyond a doubt that a killer and five other people used the same pen to sign in in a hotel. Let's pretend that the pen fell down a couple times and it was a rainy day (mud on the floor).
There is a mixture of 5 people's DNA plus bacterial DNA of 100 species and the bacterial enzymes which are busy degrading the DNA.
This mess is sequenced and the program has to identify small stretches of DNA and correct for multiple comparisons to the whole human genome and between similar genomes.
There is nothing left of the evidence to sequence.
Except that in Germany, the country is criss-crossed by train lines.
My little village has a station of its own, served several times a day. I can (and have) gotten in the train and with only one transfer, gone to Berlin, Paris and London. What you say is probably true in the US but not here.
Also, when you say controlled-access highways, please remember, this is the Autobahn, and yes, people do drive 230 kmh (trucks are limited to 100). Most people would like to have fewer trucks, simply because of the speed differential.
Random? How does that work without tipping him/her off, since there's a reasonable chance that one of the cards you have in your random hand is already in his/her hand, right ?
I have been stuck between two people before who were oozing into the next seat (my seat). I paid for a whole seat (the damn things are small enough as it is) so I should get a whole seat. And make them buy two seats. That is unfair to me.
Or at least more luggage allowance.
Or what about
total allowed weight = luggage + weight of the person
At least that is fair and clear.If you show up with an overweight bag now, they weigh it already and charge you more. And let's face it, you know your weight to within a few kg. So maybe you pack a lighter bag....
I am fit (El Capitan climbing kind of fit, even at my age). Now what if someone says I'm too slim? Or I am simply more than fit enough?
The company's idea of optimal may be that you are fit while working and die within five years of retirement (saving money on pensions,of course). Or someone decides rock climbing is too dangerous and says I have to quit to be covered?
But being a landlord can be a better deal. People pay most of your mortgage, you can deduct all those repairs, home improvements, mortgage interest, taxes, etc. from those earnings (the rent you collect).
I once flew with them on one of these flights. The semi-transparent divider you see in the picture has to be lowered during take-off and landing and you face your fellow passenger. (Un)fortunately, the mechanism was broken and we were left to face each other from London to San Francisco the whole time. In the words of my fellow passenger, it is rather "intimate".
Lucky for me, she was very attractive and after a both of us had a couple of glasses of wine and conversation, one of the flight crew wanted to try to fix the divider in mid-flight but she insisted that they just leave us in peace. Was the most pleasant long-haul flight I ever had. *sighs*
Anyway, to the point, isn't this probably prior art?
IANAE (Biologist not an engineer) but since drones are light, the motors can't be well shielded. Appears to be a common problem, at least with readily available commercial stuff.
While I hate the Blackberry, some of us actually prefer to have 2 phones: I can shut off the company phone when on vacation or "forget" to charge it, etc.

* It's yet another flash bug,

I used to put the word thrice in every scientific paper I wrote. I thought it was a pity that it's not used anymore.
I wonder what that would get if they searched for outliers in general?
He googled nude mice and got suspended from the university...?

Unfortunately true similar tale:

Please, stop, you are making me wet with all this talk.

So if the surface is completely covered with these black ping pong ball like things, doesn't that also reduce oxygen exchange?
Is there a risk that they just turn the lake into an anoxic wasteland (sulfides are quite toxic) if they do this ?
Yes, I was wondering about this.

Hopefully not the first step ;)
British Air has been doing this for many years in some business class flights

Ok, I'll bite. Now how do you teach empathy?
