After all, don't people realize the horrible things that can happen when someone gets offended?
I found this documentary about the terrible consequences of being offended. It recounts the gruesome details of people who have been offended, went to sleep, and woke up the next morning with leprosy.
It's good that Pakistan is stopping these atrocities before they get out of hand.

wielding regular expressions like weapons
Reminds me of:
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.

Yeah, it's close, but not perfect. However, the Mozilla extensions are more along the lines of what I was thinking.
That Mozilla link is along the lines of what I was thinking of for dynamic audio. Too bad it's not supported by all browsers, but it would be a start. With some proper architecture, it should be easy enough to add support for other browsers when they support a similar feature.
Thanks!
I should probably start looking at what it would take to port my Flash NES emulator to JavaScript. I wrote it in Haxe with the goal of doing a JS version at some point. However, at the time, only Chrome could even come close to running the JS fast enough, but now most modern browsers should be fast enough (I'll have to do some performance tests). It should just require minor tweaking to replace the flash calls with JS/HTML5 calls without having to re-do and re-work the bulk of the logic.
I'm curious how he plans on handling dynamically generated sound from the GB ROM. Doing CPU and Graphics are usually the easy parts of emulating, but getting smooth dynamic sound without much latency is the challenge I've had to deal with when doing web-based emulators. Most web-based systems are designed to load a static set of sounds from a server, not dynamically generate them in the code.
Flash 10 provides some dynamic sound capability, but it has a rather large latency (~250ms). I blogged about this while writing my NES emulator in flash.
I read through these articles hoping for some insight on dynamically generated sound, but it doesn't look like he's gotten that far.
Having worked in that industry, it's very common for them to be on the same network as Windows PCs. As for the default passwords, that's their own fault.
The reason they have to be on the same network as PCs is both:
1) The software to program and monitor PLCs are on Windows (made by Siemens, Rockwell Software, WonderWare, were the big names when I was in the industry 10 years ago), so it makes sense to have them on the same network so they can communicate with the PLC while it's online and see the logic operations in real time.
2) The biggest reason is that PLCs communicate with visualization software that runs on Windows (also made by the same companies as above), that can be viewed from a central location. This allows the production line manager to visually see the operations of the machines in a nicer format than looking at the raw logic bits. The visualization software can display shapes, colors, diagrams, animations, etc of the production line with real-time data about what's happening.
So yes, these PLCs are usually on the same network as Windows PCs. Ideally it's a private network with just the PLCs and the visualization/programming/monitoring PCs, but many places are not that strict about the network separation.
Yeah, I just had mine taken out last week. Now I'm wondering if the dentist still has them and can I get them back?
Yeah, I submitted this Friday, but it's only now making it to the front page.
There's a new version of MTX (1.0.3.5) that doesn't require the web servers to be up:

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with MekTek in any way. I've just been following the free release since I love the Mechwarrior series, namely MW2: Mercs.
That's a much better idea than a simple hash (md5 or sha-224, etc I didn't have a preference, just some sort of known-good hash).
A signature on the executable would be easy for the AV software (and the OS) to check and make sure it hasn't been tampered with. This should probably be more widely deployed in general. Maybe we'll get it for version WinX?
