Why Windows XP Won’t Die
Brianna O'Shea, Paul Haskell-Dowland, The National Interest - 47 minutes ago
*Brianna O'Shea, Paul Haskell-Dowland* *Technology, World* Many airports, ATMs, and hospitals still use Microsoft Windows XP. A leak would be less of an issue, if this wasn't the case. The source code of the Windows XP operating system is now circulating online as a huge 43GB mega-dump. Although the software is nearly two decades old, it’s still used by people, businesses and organisations around the world. This source code leak leaves it open to being scoured for bugs and weaknesses hackers can exploit. The leaked torrent files, published on the bulletin board website 4chan, in...

Will America Erupt in Violence After the Election? Here's What the Research Says
Ore Koren, The National Interest - 47 minutes ago
*Ore Koren* *Politics, * Some envision President Donald Trump’s supporters using misinformation to mobilize vigilante militias to clash with leftist protesters. Others envision that groups on the left will refuse to accept the results and mobilize, leading to violence and deaths across the country. Having a contested election in times of crisis, however, is by no means a guarantee of violence. After Kenya’s 2007 election, as incumbent President Mwai Kibaki declared victory, the opposition alleged the election had been rigged. A wave of protests, riots and ethnic violence followe...
How World War I Gave Birth To Tank Warfare

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Tanks entered combat for the first time in history on September 15, 1916, with British troops at Flers Courcelette during the Battle of the Somme. *Key Point*: Although the tanks at the Somme failed to break the stalemate, it was obvious that the new weapon would influence the future of land warfare. “We heard strange throbbing noises, and lumbering slowly towards us came three huge mechanical monsters such as we had never seen before,” remembered Bert Chaney, a 19-year-old officer in the Signal Corps of the British Army. “My first imp...
Meet the Gotha: Germany's First Strategic Bomber
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 47 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Germans flew 'Gothas,' their first strategic bombers, over England in World War I. *Key Point*: Gothas had a powerful effect. On May 25, 1917, a fleet of 21 bombers lumbered in a line at 12,000 feet over the English coast. The biplanes, each carrying 13 bombs, had wingspans exceeding 70 feet, immense for World War I aircraft. German military leaders called the planes *Gothas*, hoping the name would add an element of terror to English citizens in their homes below. Earlier that day the Gothas, a top-secret weapon carefully concealed at ...

Reportback: Julian Assange Hearing On Tuesday September 29

Tuesday has been another day on which the testimony focused on the extreme inhumane conditions in which Julian Assange would be kept imprisoned in the USA if extradited. The prosecution’s continued tactic of extraordinary aggression towards witnesses who are patently well informed played less well, and there were distinct signs that Judge Baraitser was becoming irritated by this approach. The totality of defence witnesses and the sheer extent of mutual corroboration they provided could not simply be dismissed by the prosecution attempting to characterise all of them as uninformed o...
