They claim the battery construction is completely safe, and that the battery keeps operating even after having a bullet fired through it.

My compiler will allow you to write whatever code you want, but it will refuse to compile it into insecure code.
My compiler's source:
main(){exit(1);}
10,000 rounds sounds a bit too generous, are you trying to destroy the army or just kill the leader(s)?
That's also got me thinking down the line of Asimov's psychohistorians. I wonder if enough media has already been moved onto the web that we could harvest enough online data from say, the past 10 years, to feed into a computer model of the world that produces identical results to the historical data. Then if the model is working well, you can start playing what-if games to see what changing one or another factor does to modern life. You could go back further, if you wanted to manually enter all the data, but I doubt you could go back more than a decade or two because there just isn't sufficient data. Dunno.
And then, assuming you have this wonderful computer model, does its existence alter the world that it is modeling? Do you have to keep it a secret so that it's able to model and predict without impacting the world? Imagine if it was just a big Distributed Computing project, and it became well known, commonplace even.
I would guess that the NSA or CIA already has something similar crunching in one of their data centers, but it would be cool to have just for its speculative aspects...
I've often wondered what would have happened in the Roman Empire if Christ had not been crucified; if perhaps some time traveler went back and smuggled him away into exile. I'd like to believe that Christianity would never have arisen, and most of the atrocities done in the name of Christianity would never have occurred. Who knows, maybe the same things would have been done anyway, just in the name of some pagan deity instead. I'd like to see how the world would have turned out without a Catholic Church running Europe for millenia, and what humanity would have achieved instead of spending hundreds of years and generation after generation building huge cathedrals. I'd like to see whether there would still have been Spanish Conquistadors in the New World, or if the native Americans would have been left alone to continue developing their own civilizations.
I'd also like to go back and throw a few defeats in the path of Julius Caesar, before his rise to power, and see how Europe would have shaped up if the Roman Empire's growth was halted far earlier. Wondering if a lot of older religions would have survived in better health. (Which also ties into the Christianity thing as well...)
But all of that would take more than just one free trip. Need to be able to hop back and forth a few times to take in the full effect.
A lot of students are bad at algebra simply because they don't understand what to do with x and y in e.g "y = 2x", so you still need at least part of the test to force them to work all the way to a concrete result from concrete inputs. Again, there's a big difference between theory and practice, and people should be learning both.
blackbook.com already exists. So does datebook.com, playbook.com, and probably anything else you can think up. Since Facebook's trademark scope is so broad, I'd guess all those other guys will be in their sights soon too.
According to this link

all BluRay discs are required to have AACS. I also downloaded the license agreement from that page, it's 159 pages long. Not a trivial undertaking...
Or just create your own work, no need to go fishing for something from the public domain.
I've recorded several music CDs in my various bands thru the years. I could go find the current favorite CD DRM scheme, ask for it to be used on my next run of CDs, and go to town. But I guess DVDs are more interesting these days.
Hi-Def camcorders are getting pretty cheap now. Go make a home movie, master it in BluRay format, and have some small-run disc printing house produce it for you. Bingo.
rtmpdump decodes the majority of RTMP streams in common use today. We know what the other (currently unsupported) options are doing in general; it just isn't worth the time right now to fully decode them until they become more of an inconvenience to more people. (Or in other words, until they become an inconvenience to the rtmpdump developers...)
rtmpe is fundamentally flawed, broken by design. Unlike SSL/TLS it is vulnerable to M-I-T-M attacks and always will be. Any new mechanisms Adobe layers on top of it can be trivially broken with the application of a few hours of CPU time. (In contrast, breaking TLS still requires thousands to millions of hours of CPU time.)
False. With RTMP you can only seek to key frames. If you seek to a timestamp that doesn't correspond to a keyframe, the server will pick the nearest keyframe using some undisclosed algorithm. (I.e., it is not specified anywhere whether it will pick the closest keyframe *before* or *after* the designated seek timestamp.)
Obviously you can't start playback from a non-keyframe, there isn't enough video data to construct a full frame.
I dunno, preserving your company's reputation and credibility ought to be big enough motivators already. The fact that Adobe code quality is still so shoddy indicates that regardless of motivation, they lack the *ability* to improve things.
Btw, for video streaming, you can just use things like get-flash-videos and rtmpdump, and never be exposed to any of that crappy Adobe code. Whether or not the base technology has any intrinsic merit, it's obvious that even today, before HTML5 is widely deployed, it's possible to implement this stuff without any of Adobe's implementation flaws.
What makes you think that a mobile version needs to be any different from the current version?
I can watch Hulu videos on my Android phone just fine...

Why would you volunteer to pay for something "extra" that isn't actually any extra effort on their part?
Windows-anything handling your money is Just Not a Good Idea.
Aside from the fact that this isn't news, it hasn't been a problem either. The patch to add the so-called "DRM" support to XBMC was made available within a few hours of the BBC change.
So what no one seems to have asked yet - when is someone going to take a fertilized human egg, and remove these viral sequences from the nucleus, and see how the embryo is affected?
Take the embryo after the first division, so you can have an identical twin as a control for the experiment...
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
