the hurt locker. Good movie albeit unrealistic in many aspects.

Really.... unrealistic in what aspects?

I watched it with my buddy that got back from Iraq three years ago. He actually said that he met people as crazy as the lead character.

We both liked the movie, and he said that the scary part of serving in Iraq was the not knowing what will happen the next day... Sometimes they would sit in the base for days waiting for orders, sometimes they would just drive on some stupid mission in the desert, and sometimes they would be in the middle of fire.

Anyhow, I loved the movie.

Cheers

Two films in rapid succession:

Alice in Wonderland in 3D: this was very good. It twisted and turned in ways that kept me going. I would definitely recommend it!

Percy Jackson: I don't think this can replace Harry Potter, which is what I had previously gathered was the point (it's directed by Christopher Columbus, the director of the first two Harry Potter films), but I enjoyed it. It seemed a bit less earnest than the Harry Potter films, and so it was more slapdash and also ironic (unintentionally so?). I was sitting in a cinema with some people who made lots of noise throughout (eating and with a baby crying on and off). Still, it was an enjoyable film.

Ben-Hur - It was on Sky and Id never seen it. It was so nice to watch a film that didn't set out to be a franchise or have lines they could use in adverts for Burger King. Ive been watching a lot of the big films from the 60's over the last few months, I just became so let down with the films of today and the usual preset format they use to get the most viewers possible. :sleep:

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
