2KM is kinda useless once the missile has achieved ballistic trajectory.

At speed of 2.5km/second, the missile will whiz pass this thing quicker than any damage can be done to it.

Note both the videos show the missile at launch, when they are not at top speed, may work for Hamas to Israel scenario, won't work for North Korea to South Korea type of scenario.

Facebook To Introduce Video Ads 180

another random user writes "Facebook is reportedly introducing video advertisements to News Feeds this summer. Reports in the Financial Times (registration required) say that the clips will last for around 15 seconds, and the first one users see each day will play automatically. The first video will apparently play without audio, and restart if the account holder chooses to activate sound. Facebook is yet to officially confirm the move, but the report claims that the social network will gradually introduce video advertising to minimize user disruption. The company's most lucrative marketing partners, including American Express, Coca Cola, Ford, Diageo and Nestle, are expected to be the first brands to make use of the feature. Facebook is said to have implemented the strategy in a bid to take a slice out of TV ad revenue by undercutting the sector."

I was told in grad school that we were going to run out of IP4 addresses in 2 years. That was in 1993.

Yeah, then we came up with CIDR. Then we widely implemented NAT as a stopgap.

The wolf has actually been there. We've just been shooting at it and scaring it off. Now it's back again and we're out of ammo.
