being shot in the head is less likely to be fatal than being shot in the torso
Being shot in the brain vs being shot in the heart please. Shooting lungs or throat or shoulder or similar screw-ups aside, there is a slim chance of survival with a bullet in the brain. Of course this -usually- kills the victim, but in rare cases it won't. OTOH a hole in heart is not survivable at all, null, zero. Cases of surviving a piece of shrapnel in the brain are recorded and known. Cases of bullets - I didn't see any, but likely too. Find a case of a survivor with punctured heart.
Most hitmen avoid headshots. Very messy and often with a good chance of survival of the subject. Load the brain with 5 bullets and the victim may still live, despite losing the ability to speak spanish, tell apart apples from oranges and move left leg. They will likely enter a coma though, which looks very much like they are dead, and they will come to and start talking at the least convenient moment. Real hitmen avoid headshots (from close distance at least, sniping is a different thing) and definitely prefer going for the heart. Nobody survives a hole in the heart and placing the third bullet precisely in the heart from a short distance is quite easy once shock from the first two paralyses the victim.
On the other hand, most games register heart shot as just another chest shot, scoring pretty low damage, while headshots, from any direction, including the face count as serious damage multiplier.
"ACK! Hydrochloric acid? That sounds like a Darwin Award waiting to happen. Liquid Nitrogen makes a pretty "cool" bang without having to handle any acids"
If you consider LN2 safer than Hydrochloric Acid, may I suggest Plutonium instead?
I mean, dip your bare hand in hydrochloric acid for a second, then wash with water. Dip it in LN2 for a second... then better don't put it in water, it might explode.
Note this is DVD decompression, not -strong- encryption we're talking about. What it took DVD Jon to break DVD "encryption"? Make the encryption weak and it will be easily crackable. Make it strong and the hardware requirements and cost rapidly grow. If it's not to work in real time, it will require a harddrive, the other poster suggested 160GB... $45 device with a 160GB drive? YAY! I'm getting one... Or... Make that 15!
I agree it's still available. Still, P100 is not enough for realtime decompression/decryption of video. You don't have a month. You need to sustain 24+ FPS.
100mhz pentium in set-top box is not little. Plus it has a month to send the billing data to the provider. It has to decrypt given movie in realtime, as it is broadcast by the station and sent to the screen. It can't keep all the movies decrypted in memory (would miss the purpose of encrypting them too) or know what movie I want to watch tomorrow and start decrypting it today. Plus keeping even one movie in memory all the time would add a lot to the cost.
OP: "Open source? SO why do I have to SIGN UP to VIEW the bug database?" Follow-up: You Troll||Moron, "I'm looking through dozens of bugs right now. No reg required." You: You moron, Mozilla restricts... I: You asshole, Restricts, not conflicting with OSS.
The follow-up took the wrong point in disproving the OP stupidity. You just attacked the follow-up without ever taking into account that OP was completely wrong. That's being an asshole, attacking just one side when both are wrong. Now when I pointed out what you either purposedly (asshole) or in ignorance (moron) omitted, you attack me.
Modem + descrambler + video in, out chips + remote control + flash to keep current settings + X = $45 X = whatever I missed plus the strong encryption you mention. How cheap can you get with it?
Software encryption key that is sent to decode the actual movie back over the line.
Of course the keys should be downloadable from a torrent site and the remote dial-in server possible to emulate using a PC and a modem... but then some good software should be able to descramble the TV signal without using the set-top box at all.
How long till people hack it and release a program that decodes and plays all the movies on your PC for free, using plain TV tuner card and a program to crack the (on-the-fly video, so impossible to be very strong) encryption of the signal without ever getting in touch with the company?
Joe Public isn't going to type about:config and piss around with an overwhelming list of options just to keep his box ticking over nicely, he's going to click on the blue "e"....and one porn-browsing session later have the computer down to a crawl with 400 different dialers and spyware hogging the system. Get Firefox at current, moderate speed and keep it that way or get faster-loading MSIE (because windows starts slower, desktop won't appear until MSIE loads into the memory) and have the whole system, on the net or not, crawling with worms hours later.
Yes, they are fixed already. That means no need to fix them. Go pick one of a million other bugs that need to be fixed and fix it if you want to help so much.
Is there maybe a some specific reason why you want to see them BEFORE most of people have the upgrade installed?
Open Source requires free access to the source code. You are stiff free to diff the tree from before and after the patch and find differences by yourself. They can't forbid doing this.
Open Source does not require granting you access to every single piece of plan, report, draft, helper service or conversation log that was created in the process of making the software. The fact that you can use Bugzilla at all is just a good will of the Mozilla Fundation. The content of the Bugzilla database is neither open source nor free to access and modify to anyone. You can view or edit chosen sections of it through provided mechanisms, but no law forces the Mozilla people to disclose all the reported bugs in the database to you.
Yep. Just give everyone enough time to update. The fact that you have updated doesn't mean everyone else did. Some installs will take a week or more to just update, someone's on holidays, the computer is off, or the network is damaged, down. Opening them the moment the problem is fixed would give everyone a short but significant time window to exploit them.

No, full-game standard-route demo recording doesn't happen. Just cute tricks and mad speedruns with incredible glitches.

That would narrow it down...
Every gamer and hitman knows you shoot in the BACK of the head!
Thanks!
How the fuck did you get that cool quoting in?

Nope, but the kernel module for the external device consisting of USB-driven mentos-coke fountain is already in the works.

So you think you clarified... That confirms it.

Asshole or moron. I don't know which.
Nope, your solution would work for Joe Public Advanced.
The right solution: Make good defaults.
