That's version 11.2

Yes, they've fixed the bugs in it. But it's not the mainstream version, which is 16.

There are plenty of sites that already depend on newer versions of Flash. Try running Card Hunter on Linux : you'll need Chrom(e|ium) with it's bundled Flash for that to work, and that's just over three minor versions (it requires 11.5)

So for given use cases, Flash already stopped working in Firefox for Linux. Supporting PPAPI probably is the only way it will work again.

But personally, I'd vote for "Long Gone". Why bother with Flash when you can do stuff like this directly in a modern browser?

Until the temperature goes up enough for all those frozen methane clathrates at the bottom of the ocean to destabilise... or some idiots go looking to disturb them for fun and profit. Oh, they are already.

Then, whoof! Up it goes.

The requirements in those fields don't change.

"Drop the bomb on the target" is a problem defined by the laws of physics. I've seen artillery pieces with old brass analog computers that still work perfectly.

"Make a system that automates the processing of the asinine new rules for Job Seekers Allowance" is a moving target.

Depends what the requirements are.

Usually, this sort of thing happens because requirements are changing faster than the old system can be maintained to keep up.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is to help automate the swingeing series of "sanctions" that are carried out to remove the benefits from job seekers in this country.

Things like suspending their payments for...

* Being late for an appointment at the job centre (by approx 2 minutes).... because they were attending a job interview
* Not attending a job interview
* Applying for 6 jobs one week, and 3 jobs the next, and not realising that the directive to apply for 4 jobs a week is not met by an *average*
* Applying for jobs on Monday and Friday, then being sanctioned because the accounting is done Tuesday and the count of jobs on Monday wasn't high enough

This is South Africa.

The "delays" are more likely to do with the fact that Uber have failed to grease the right palms.

Indeed ; combine it with a cargo trailer and you have a sale : I have a small 2-door car that's a little snug when loaded with three people and their Christmas luggage. That Christmas trip is one of the few occasions I drive it more than 130 miles in a day. I'd happily rent a range-extending trailer with some cargo space in it for those occasions.

As a post above points out, the hydrogen supply isn't up to it.

The main supply of hydrogen today is ... yes, you guessed it, fossil fuels. Electrolytic production of hydrogren doesn't even come close. And it's ridiculously inefficient compared to battery electric vehicles.

The only useful thing that hydrogen has going for it is a fast fill time. On every other metric, it sucks balls - range, complexity, safety, price of storage equipment, price of equipment to convert it into useful work, energy efficiency.

This is a play by the fossil fuel industry aimed at either preserving some market for them or delaying the adoption of electric vehicles, they don't care which.

You're the second person to make this mistake in the thread.

"Danielle". Not "Daniel."

ie, a woman.

Interesting bias. A professor of engineering has to be a man, right?

And to a system not directly mounted as user accessible files, or they'll encrypt your backups too.

So you want a network storage server specifically configured to only permit create and append, but not delete.

Backup to Dropbox would probably be acceptable.

It keeps the prior versions of files for the last 30 days, and AFAIK the API does not expose the ability to delete them.

Mum's computer (well, aside from running Ubuntu) is set to make a weekly incremental backup to a cloud folder.

The limitations of the technology have historically been terrible.

Ever been to Disney World? They have an arcade building with a bunch of old games and new in there.

One of the rides is an Aladdin Magic Carpet VR ride. Possibly the cause of the most horrible motion sickness of my life.

I'm not prone to motion sickness. I was born in a coastal town. Ships pitching in the ocean are part of my natural environment. I play FPS and sim games without problems. I love most rollercoasters. This thing left me pale and sweating and nauseous.

Oculus made the first big pubic thrust at solving the problems that cause this - latency between the viewpoint input and the display being primary amongst them.
