Find the "Unity MT Grab Handles" plugin and set:
"Toggle Handles" binding to <Super>h
Then you just press windows-key + h to make some nice large resizing handles appear. They should fade away automatically after a few seconds.

Well, there was a buzzing noise for all electric doors. Don't recall a whooshing sound, but in a spaceship it's reasonable to assume sections will acquire an air pressure differential.
Watch the video... it's just a door! Also, that bit is on Earth before the prisoners have been transferred.

FremantleMedia International said 13 hour-long episodes will be written by Heroes writer Joe Pokaski."
Here's hoping the special effects budget will be higher than for the original series! Also, hoping that the Liberator is of similar design and includes Zen — the ships computer."

Other info; If I right-click on the black box I see where the video should be, I do get an Adobe Flash context menu. I've tried clicking in the very centre in case the thumbnail is failing to load or something, but it still doesn't want to start.
UPDATE: Found it - I've got "Block third-party cookies and site date" checked. Un-checking that allows it to work.
THANK YOU ALL!

I can get it to play in Firefox on the same Ubuntu machine... but it's annoying so I thought I share/bleat about it!
FYI it seems just only be a problem with Slashdot embedded videos... I've not had a problem elsewhere.

I suspect Norton Mobile Security will not perform any worse on RT or 8 as it does on iOS or Android.
Arguably, it'd perform better since there'd be no slow down!
