I'd love to ditch flash and use the HTML 5 player on YouTube, however they are using a whitelist to decide who can see HD content on YouTube with the HTML 5 player, and in their infinite hubris, Pale Moon is not on their whitelist. When will this user-agent sniffing/whitelist bullshit ever end?!
There is another way to move to modern solutions without inconveniencing the users. I know, because I've just implemented it on a system I work with.
How to move from a plaintext or otherwise insecure password storage system to a modern solution:
1) The user tries to log in.
2) Check if they've already had their password updated to your more secure solution. (Salt is the correct length? or similar)
3) Assuming they are using the old style, authenticate the user with the old style of authentication, keeping their password around in memory.
4) Update their password hash, salt, IV, etc. in the database at this time since you have the password in memory as cleartext as if they were a new user being created.
5) Present the user with the normal landing page.
1) The user tries to log in.
2) Check if they've already had their password updated to your more secure solution. (Salt is the correct length? or similar)
3) Assuming they are using the new style, authenticate the user with the new style of authentication.
4) Present the user with the normal landing page.
This seamlessly updates users to the new style as the log in. Eventually, you can get rid of the old style of authentication and clean things up after some time. Send e-mails to those still using the old style to log in (haven't logged in during your transition period) soon or their account will expire. If expiring account sis not an option, then you will have to reset passwords, but only the rarely used accounts that didn't participate in the transition period.
This is completely false. We have Netflix, and we can get ALMOST EVERYTHING, including "The Path", "Man in High Tower" along with most anything else you can think of (minus a few esoteric, rare, or foreign movies/shows). Sure, you have to plan a few days ahead of time and wait for them to come in the mail, or wait a year for the season to come out on DVD, but being an adult I have no problem delaying gratification as such.
There is no such thing as a "fast" lane in the United States. Calling it such is part of the problem. There are "travel" lanes and "passing" lanes (and in some cases slow-vehicle lanes for steep grades). It's not a "left" lane. It's not a "fast" lane. They are "passing" lanes.
Also, I think it was Abraham Lincoln who said(?) "The best way to get rid of an unjust law is to enforce it strictly."
Forcing others to abide by an unjust law as a form of civil disobedience in an attempt to get the law repealed is something I will applaud every time.
I was setting up a brand new laptop for a client. It's a Dell with Wind7 Pro 64-bit but obviously came with the silly WIn10 installation media.
The plan was to install a new SSD in the laptop, and then get WIn7 back on there fresh with no bloatware (as you do).
After the SSD install, I tossed in a Dell-branded Win7 SP1 DVD I happen to have, and installed from there. However, the laptop is so new that the DVD did not contain any network drivers (typical) but surprisingly didn't include the proper chipset drivers either for the USB controllers/hubs/ports. I almost always have either network, or more typically the USB ports working after a Windows 7 install.
Without either of those, I was reduced to throwing some of the drivers on a write-able CD. Thankfully I still insist on recommending laptops with optimal drives. If the laptop had not come with an optical drive, and had I not had writable CDs laying around, I guess I would have taken the SSD out and plugged it into my desktop to transfer over the drivers...
I was not excited about having to write a CD, but at least it was an option.
I see. I plan my trips, and navigate myself. Which is why good maps are AMAZING when you find them. I can see if you're trying to use a map service as a navigation service there would be plenty of things lacking...
It still does. Well, their web site does. Not sure why you'd use a special application other than a browser to access a web site, but people do strange things...
Open Street Map was truly an answer to my prayers. Being able to modify the maps based on my personal experiences is nothing short of a miracle. The wiki aspect of maps really works well here, and the end result are maps that the every-person can use well, and those of us who are just geeky as shit about maps and cartography can also get things done that we need to.
As a general question to all commentators; if you're not using Open Street Maps, what is your reason?
Have you considered the FairPhone 2?
If I were in the market for a smart phone, it would be likely top on my list because of the modular design (the ethical sourcing is a bonus).
CaptainLard is correct. Brake rotors do not warp. When they get hot, they "cone" and when the cool off they return to their normal shape.
Any and all run-out is due to uneven pad material transfer. Uneven pad material transfer is due to overheating the rotor which crystallizes the cast iron and promotes continued and early overheating after the fact. Even if you resurface the rotor to remove all pad buildup, you're going to get uneven pad transfer soon again at lower temps because the rotor has localized hot spots built in now.
The pad material is very often metallic (not ceramic) on performance setups as shown in that YouTube video. The material is molecularly bonded to the iron rotor. This makes it indistinguishable on the surface of the metallic rotor.
I modded your comment down, but realized it was only because I disagreed with your statement, and I should be voicing my disagreement with a comment instead.
A sealed phone as you describe means a battery that is not user serviceable. I am strongly in the "a device's battery should be user serviceable" camp.
Where was this? I want to move there.
The driver two cars ahead of the autonomus car was stopped at a green light (according tot he video), properly avoiding entering the intersection until they could drive through it (there is a car stopped immediately at the end of the intersection according to the video).
That is some good driving on everyone's part, except the driver of the Lexus who rear-ended the autonomous car of course.
Slap a few strong neodymium magnets to the bottom of your bike and make sure to rest in the middle of the inductive loop (they are not scales) and you will be all set.
I wish this aditude weren't so prevelant. You can run a user-centric service and still make money.
Instead of seeking vendor or ad revenue, just allow your users to support the site. Give them the opportunity to be a "site supporter" and throw them a bone. A different colored username can be enough, or maybe toss in one or two more "nicities" (not defacto requirements) like a larger inbox, or some other such thing.
This is how I run the forum I'm an administor of. We accept ad revenue and vendor revenue, but the main source of revenue is from the users and that will always be true. Paid vendors have been run off by the users for being bad players, and we like it that way.
Block the ads, we don't care.
I can only imagine the revenue Reddit could garner if they'd just give their users the chance to support the site for pennies a day.
Pam Fletcher, as an automotive enthusiast (who is looking forward to our future of electric cars) in order to keep my brain from filling up completely, I don't keep track of all of the intricate differences between hybrid cars.
After learning the intricacies of each system, I tend to lump them into three categories for my convenience (plug-in capability being a sub-category itself).
Weak parallel hybrids; those with very minimal battery storage and no all-electric mode like the 1st gen Ford Escape.
Strong parallel hybrids; those with large battery capacity, all-electric mode, but the internal combustion engine still drives the wheels often like the Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, etc.
Series hybrids; AC Propulsion T-Zero with trailer generator (or any all-electric with a generator on a trailer for that matter), Chevy Volt, etc.
So I've lumped the Chevy Volt in the series hybrid group, although technically it can provide some power to the wheels mechanically via the internal combustion engine. With the Volt being so close to a pure series hybrid, I'd like to know why the leap to a pure series hybrid wasn't made completely? There must be one or a few solid reasons. Was it a serendipitous capability due to the packaging? What is necessary to satisfy focus group complaints? Was it to ensure a completely dead battery or charging system wouldn't side-line the vehicle? What was the thinking there?
Simple inductive charging (which looks like what you're talking about when you say "wireless" in your comment) is mainstream.
Wireless charging has been around for electric tooth brushes for at least 5 years now, maybe 10. It's been so long I won't even bother to give names.
Wireless charging for cosmetic electronics like the the Claresonic face brush has been around for at least 5 years.
Wireless charging for sex toys has been around for 3-5 years, for an example see the Wee-Vibe.
Wireless charging for electric cars has been around for 2-3 years as well. I believe Tesla does it, and the Nissan Leaf got it in 2013, among others.
It sounds to me like you're not buying the right category of devices.
The same (and better) can be had with PaleMoon. I dread having to launch Firefox now after all of the horrible UI changes. PaleMoon might as well be the new Firefox.
Weren't we up in arms about the artificial wage stagnation due to silicon valley employers agreeing not to "poach" (AKA participate in capitalism) each other's employees?
If A123 wants to keep their employees, they might have to *gasp* offer them better conditions/compensation? The horror.

I was thinking the same thing, but this is the largest 3D printed tool. Only in the loosest sense would we call a house a tool.

GM didn't create the first commercial electric car. The first commercial electric car was being sold before GM was even founded.
