Puts the meaning of takedown request in another light. :thumbs_up: :winking_emoji:

"Unfortunately I was wrong before, here are my correct instructions..."

Read my mind.

That would be an awesome idea, as well as calories/kilojoules burnt and/or brain cells destroyed.

And just like that, I can kiss my productivity goodbye for the rest of the day.

Sent from my cheap-arse $99 Android phone.

Nice to know I'm not the only one seeing this.

I'd happily trade the video ads of today for the HTML <blink> tag of old without any hesitation.

This is what I love about undefined behaviour!

It allows you to <ERROR_CONNECTION_LOST>

This has to be one of the coolest things I have seen this year on HN; last year it was the "endless acid banger".

It's tempting to let feature-creep make this bigger, but other than a few UX tweaks, it's perfect the way it is.

Then again, is there is anything I could think of for version 2.0 it would be satellite imagery from the virtual balloon (depending if Google maps allows that in their API)

LoL that made my day XD

Most of it comes from a philosophical perspective, rather than a technical one. In many forms, viruses usually find their way in from software vulnerabilities, leaving deliberately (albeit unknowingly) installing in the minority. With the open source/free software development cycle, it should be possible to eliminate most avenues of vulnerability.

So in short, the questions we should be asking are:

1. How do viruses find their ways in?

2. And, what can be done (as a user or developer) to prevent that?

These are obvious, I know, and the software devs for Windows aren't deliberately writing insecure software, but these questions are ones better seen from a behavioural point of view.

Darn right there.

Is it can be opened with a key, there's nothing stopping something else emulating that key - even if resorting to brute force until the key pattern matches.

I believe Apple would like to have a word...

So, I take it I'm not allowed to use encrypted connections to do internet banking?

Unless I'm mistaken, it's like they're working for a scam technical support racket who call the phone at midnight and talk in a foreign accent.

I have tried various over the past 20 years and they've been mentioned elsewhere on this thread, but the main two I use are:

The mana world- a 16 bit inspired MMO rpg http://www.themanaworld.org

And EDOPro, a YGOPro fork (You-Gi-Oh client) with improvements

By the look of it, what this reply is saying is how point 7 describes the negating qualities of "but", while the point immediately following it uses the said word.

So I wouldn't say funny, just inconsistent.

Sir, that is hilariously enlightening.

Lowering title accuracy increases click; The local channel 7 news does that a lot here too.

xdude.com - flash site. Even though it was small by today's standards, it had some pretty handy info for MIDI and sound processing.

Winamp.com (from the 2.x days) was also full of useful stuff. The plugin architecture meant that you could make Winamp2 do just about anything with av files. Including DJ'ing and video playlists.

Those two and Geocities.

Heck, watching that do its job felt good

??? How can unvaccinated people be a threat to vaccinated people, if vaccines work?

April fools is getting annoying...

In other new, the older Macromefia Flash format is now a W3C recommendation.

Awesome, (well, not about forgetting the password :/ I've been there, done that) Sounds like you had the .001 btc too.

Now days it's a Satoshi or something like .0000000001 btc.

Not at all.

The last time I heard from him personally was when he threatened Google's VP9 with a patent pool from MPEG-LA.

Later that year, MPEG-LA released a statement they won't be going after VP9.
