Well that is just sad. It's like how the Bradley Armored Fighting Vehicle was visioned as the 3 in 1 vehicle but as the this line from The Pentagon Wars, an HBO film about the Bradley's devepolment, explains:

Quote:

A troop transport that can't carry troops, a reconnaissance vehicle that's too conspicuous to do reconnaissance, and a quasi-tank that has less armor than a snowblower, but has enough ammo to take out half of D.C.

Bradley ended up becoming quite effective in the streets of Iraq where tanks are too big and gun carriers (Strykers) have no space to turn their turrets.

The M242 is able to HEAP rounds into occupied buildings down long and narrow streets (pun unintended) while the troops flank the alleyways into it. And the TOW launchers proved to be quite deadly against tanks where the enemy are still busy hand-cranking their turrets while the Bradleys move in for the kill.

Sizing down the vehicles made the squads smaller, but in turn it made them a more mobile fighting unit with more flexibility. Sort of like a blessing in disguise.

In the movie where the quote came from, the earlier versions of the Bradley were unsafe due to it's thin armor that released poisonous gas which could end up killing the troops inside but the General in charge of the project tried to cover up that flaw. You should watch The Pentagon Wars since it takes a satirical look of military bureaucracy.

Yeah that was it. If I am not wrong the original project ran from 1968 until the time when it first hit the battlefield in 1991.

Tax dollars at work gentlemen.

Not surprising.... F-16 is pretty maneuverable for a Western aircraft and the focus of new designs is still on BVR overall...It's similar to the Rafale beating an F-22 in a dogfight but that doesn't mean the F-22 is an inferior aircraft

"Mind-Melded" Animal Brains Work Better Than Individual Ones:

"Connecting brains together into networks, or ‘mind-melding’ as the Trekkies say,
has a long and colorful history in science fiction. But it’s also something that
scientists are doing—rather successfully—with animals in the lab. And in many cases,
networked animal brains seem to perform better than individual brains."

Actually, Firefox now disables all versions of Flash by default.

P.S. Why are you only warning Firefox users? Users of other browsers can also disable Flash in their browsers.

Marcus H. · 2015-07-14, 03:14

My Chrome can work without Flash for some reason so I assumed that Chrome users never bothered to install Flash.

But yeah, the news should cover just about anyone who uses Flash, including those in mobiles.

I think Flash has been bundled in Chrome for a while now.

The Future Will Run on Algae

This somehow reminds me of OILIX from Metal Gear 2, an algae formula that could produce oil, which the creator of the formula was kidnapped by Big Boss to Zanzibarland.

You could also cover yourself with Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit or some other exploit prevention kit any way they seem to have patched the thing...

18.0.0.209 doesn't seem to be affected according to them

That is overrated security threat by the way. The browser devs are doing this because people DON'T sufficiently protect themselves, heck many don't even bother to install anti-malware!

Eyeglasses with Face Un-Recognition Function to Debut
in Japan:

"The ultimate disguise for the digital era is set to go on sale in Japan.

The National Institute of Informatics said it has developed eyeglasses
that help users protect their privacy by disabling facial-recognition
systems in cameras.

The Privacy Visor, created by the government-affiliated institute and an
eyeglass maker in Japan’s Fukui prefecture, uses unique angles and
patterns on its lens that reflect or absorb light. This prevents the
recognition systems in digital cameras and smartphones from spotting
a human face in a shot and focusing on it."

The Very First Wormhole Device — For Magnets!:

"Physicists have created a wormhole device that can tunnel a magnetic
field through space. It sounds like Star Trek, but we won’t be zapping
humans across the universe anytime soon. Still, the breakthrough could
revolutionize certain magnet-based technologies, including MRIs."
