What's news?

It's a big day in the tech world, a huge security flaw has been found in bash. Of all things. Bash. I don't even don't even. I've been trying to think about a non tech equivalent. It would be like finding out all cars made in Japan have bomb installed. That no one noticed for twenty years. That can be remotely detonated by anyone who knows how.

Madness.

http://extension765.com/sdr/18-raiders - This is cool. Steven Soderbergh put together a colourless, soundtrack-less (well, different soundtrack) version of Raiders of the Lost Ark to highlight shot composition etc.

Really, at the end of the day, he's pointing out that you can watch Raiders with the sound off and still understand what's going on. This isn't news. Spielberg has always been a silent film director. All the greats are. I seem to remember watching a silent, or soundtrack only version of Blade Runner. It works. You get it.
