That wikileaks video has apparently been a bigger PR disaster for video games more than the US fucking military.
So much so that when SLASHDOT USERS see that the military might use video games, their concern is for the corrupting influence of video games rather than the corrupting influence of war.
The behavior of those pilots does not indicate the influence of video games but rather policy.
Men are capable of evil fucking things, with or without the assistance of video games, ak-47s, or predator drones. Some of those are more enabling than others.
The real point this PR roadkill is trying to make is that video games use techniques that would be useful in other contexts. Obviously this is true and fucking harmless, on its face. Unfortunately, his example is that they would be useful for helping to implementing corporate and military policy.
That won't matter unless they can get out of Chrome's sandbox.
Isn't your point about Chrome invalidated by your point about the time taken?
Did no one attack Chrome because none of these researchers had an exploit that would work against it?
Can you provide deep links to the drattman/h0ney stuff? I would really appreciate it. The wiki is badly indexed.
What about the Apple gift card hack? The only pirated app store apps any friends of mine have used were acquired via a $3 iTunes gift card with $300 credit. I know it used to work like a charm. Is there any report of this hole being closed?
I believe it does. I'm not sniffing, so I could be wrong here. Do you have any explanation for this statement?
> Doesn't the $12,000 price tag rather defeat any savings in memory cards?
No. HD video fills up those $500+ P2 memory cards in minutes. They must then be swapped out for the next shot. If you can't afford $80,000 worth of video cards, you will need a person pulling the contents of those video cards onto hard drives full time during the shoot so that they can be reused.
This is obviously how the control panel and other special folders are implemented in the first place. Not a short cut. Put in the right code & you'll get the regular control panel directory.
