Well lets make them more relevant :). What are the names of some please?

Simple, they'll erase any record of them.

AFAICT the limit is now back up to 350/hour, and has been for a day at least. This is in the UK, in case it's turned regional.

I don't believe that's correct. AES is to the best of our knowledge uncrackable by the NSA with current computing resources. The flaws that have been discovered publically are minor and inconsequential. It is possible that the NSA has a practical attack against AES, and others but that they choose not to reveal this as GHCQ did not reveal their cracking of Enigma.

Practically this doesn't make much difference to 99.9% of us The NSA is unlikely to go after us little guys, the risk of revealing their secret would outweigh the benefit. However if you're ever holding the UN to ransom don't assume that AES, RSA et al are secure against a national government.

No sarcasm, or piss taking, I really am curious. Why does switching to Bittorrent mean fewer trojans/infections?

Is this satire or industry analysis? I can't tell.

Completely off-topic, but did your friend perhaps say "Don't inflame, inform."

IPython is an interactive interpreter that will allow you to skip the brackets in many cases, but you'll still need them in an script. Certain editors and IDEs have a mode that auto-complete/inserts the brackets.

The benefit of having print as a function, is that one can override it:

old_print = print

def print(*args, **kwargs):
        # Do something custom, maybe filtering, time stamping
        old_print(*args, **kwargs)

Using the logging module is normally a better approach than print though...

Thank you for the examples. I fear Dos Equis counts as a bad use of Flash to my tastes, and I've found it annoying rather than stylish. It breaks use of the back/forward controls, bookmarking of pages. Text on The Most Interesting Show page is barely readable, and I cannot resize it. Admittedly it's better than , my usual example of bad Flash.

The game looks fun enough. Not sure why it can't be a real flash game, embedded in the page, rather than being restricted to Mac or Windows.

Flash exists because there is a gap between making disgusting prefabbed square forms, and fluid, interesting and deeply creative content; Something that tells your customers and competitors "hey, we have style!".

I'm curious, could you point to a site that exemplifies this?

I agree there's a gap that currently only Flash fills - namely delivering content that is a game, an animation, an audio track or a video. I've yet to see a site where I thought Flash used as a design element was an improvement, so I'm interested to see your take on it. Regards, Alex.

That's a bit harsh. I can think of at least one other explanation - that person did do Windows, but does not longer, possibly having concluded the bad points out weigh any good points.

don't you mean in this blog post [3273372964]

Interestingl. Though Slashcode presented your url as typed by you, hovering over it and right-click-copy in Chromium shows the canonical dotted quad http://195.27.181.36/en/weblog?weblogid=208188044

I don't think the first two will be too much of a problem. To make download harder, and to show ads, sites will fiddle the source URL with javascript most likely. As I understand HTML5 a site can implement it's own controls, using the video tag's DOM. DRM is the unknown. Some creative coder may pull a smoke and mirrors trick that's convincing enough. Higher ups may even come to the opinion that it just doesn't matter. Or (lack of) DRM could mean HTML5 video isn't adopted by most.
