I actually expected a response from Twitter after my reports somehow, as the changes to the account and the postings are very unusual. More than one week has passed by, and there has been no reaction. I have to admit that I'm still feeling totally lost. It should only take 2 minutes!" but that's from a third party. I've received a response from a bot who asked me, "Twitter would like your feedback. Well, “no response” is not entirely true. We also tried to contact the support via and tried to contact Twitter via email. There is no response from Twitter so far, neither from the initial report via the website, nor from a second request two days later. Twitter suggests you contact their support via the website " I’m having problems with account access." What does Twitter recommend in a case like this? We used a strong password and 2FA for protecting the account, but it looks like this was not enough. ![]() When nothing happened after two days we filed another case, with the same result so far: nothing. We immediately contacted the Twitter support and opened a case, “Regain access - Hacked or compromised," providing all details to reclaim our account. What techniques did you use to try regaining access? So, Twitter doesn't even ask if the person behind the current email address agrees with the account change. To my surprise, the new email address for the account was blanked out (not fully visible), and I saw the message that only the new address needs to be confirmed. I'm a German, and I've used Twitter in German language for the last decade, so it appears to me that someone changed the default language first. It said to confirm by following a link sent to the new email and ended, “If you haven't made these changes, please contact Twitter support immediately." Password change warning in Russian In my email Inbox, I saw three mails from Twitter, all in Russian. (Twitter actually asked me to create a new account!) I tried to check the account on my PC, but I was not able to log in and just saw the compromised Twitter account there, too. Well, I tried to log in to my mobile device with the Twitter account, but the account was no longer accessible. What was your first reaction to the hack? Shortly thereafter, we got further notifications from other parties. Rubenking: How did you first learn the account was hacked?

Oracle JDK 8 will continue to receive public updates for at least the next year, and commercial support will be available through 2025. Oracle will continue to build and ship the Oracle JDK. But then Donald Smith, Oracle’s Senior Director of Product Management, came out with this this announcement ![]() In 2017, developers were happily using Oracle JDK in development and production. Does Oracle make you pay for its JDK now? JDK naming: note that Oracle JDK and Oracle OpenJDK, as we’ll refer to them, are two different JDK builds. So just like the Oracle JDK, we can also use the Oracle OpenJDK to develop and run Java software.īut most developers had no reason to move away from the Oracle JDK, until Oracle made an announcement which took the Java world by surprise. Oracle also provide builds of the Open JDK, known as Oracle Open JDK, that you can download. Importantly, its license ( GNU GPL license) meant that anyone could build their own JDK from the codebase and distribute it. This meant the OpenJDK project made the JDK codebase public and opened it up to external contributions from the likes of RedHat, BellSoft, Google, and others. However, the landscape started to change from 2006 onwards, when Sun (later acquired by Oracle) started to make the JDK available as open source software. This was the obvious, and perhaps only choice. If Oracle makes Java, shouldn’t we use their JDK?įor many years Oracle provided their Oracle JDK, which most developers downloaded and used without issue in both development and production. Let’s get into some more details to help with your decision. Although since Java 9 another option is to create your own minimal JRE from the JDK using JLink.Ĭlearly, knowing which JDK to choose is important, but unfortunately there’s no simple answer. You may also need to install the same JDK in testing and production environments to run your Java software. ![]() Here’s how that looks in IntelliJ IDEA: Download JDK dialog in IntelliJ IDEA For example, your IDE needs to be configured with a specific JDK so it can compile code.

Some characters possess abilities that can alter the environment, such as freezing water, to create an ice path that can aid the player in traversing terrain. The player can control their character and perform actions such as running, climbing, swimming, and gliding, limited by stamina. The World Level is a measure of how strong the enemies within the world are and the rarity of rewards that defeating them gives. Completing these challenges grants the player progress towards increasing their Adventure Rank, which in turn unlocks new quests, challenges, and raises the World Level.

![]() ![]() ![]() “Installing the Idle Guard 200 in fleet and delivery vehicles not only helps operators save fuel, but also allows them to save money on potential fines by remaining compliant with anti-idle regulations in their respective state. This helps keep the air in the cab fresh and fume free. “Several states, counties and cities have implemented anti-idling regulations to address issues ranging from environmental concerns to economic costs that are associated with vehicle emissions, and fines could be levied against users in certain states,” said Fred Merritt, CEO of TST. This ensures the oil has sufficient pressure to reach the top of the heads in the engine. The Idle Guard 200 is offered in three models providing engine shut off after 3, 5 or 15 minutes of idling- either via fuel shutoff for a diesel, or by turning the ignition off for a gas engine. Thermex provides an Idle Shutdown Smart Controller that automates empty seat engine shutdown and protects your lift trucks from needless accelerated costs. Its an automatic and even if I put it drive and let it idle it will still shut down. Wedging the pedal down to put my RPM at 1300 wont stop it from shutting down after 15 mins. Releasing the tractor brakes will let it idle 15 mins. Bumping the cruise up to 900 rpm wont keep it idling. Transportation Safety Technologies (TST) has introduced its Idle Guard 200, which it calls a “solid state, reliable timer that automatically prevents unnecessary engine idling in fleet and delivery vehicles.” The device, usable with diesel or gas engines and manual or automatic transmissions, is “triggered” either by a positive or negative signal from the park brake on a manual transmission or the park/neutral switch on an automatic transmission. It will only idle 5 mins if the tractor brake is set. ![]() ![]() ![]() The cinematography by Arthur Reinhart was stunning. The wedding scene at the Royal Palace was as worthy as any major motion picture costume drama and should have earned another Emmy in the costuming category. The costumes by Academy Award winner Theodor Pistek and his son Jan were outstanding. As an example the shots of the Thopter landing at the Royal Palace in Arrakeem where the ships shadow moves across buildings then follows it down to the landing pad brought a big smile and a sigh.wow! CoD won an Emmy Award in 2003 (Special Visual Effects for a Miniseries, Movie or Special). The movement of CGI objects like Thopters around CG backgrounds and the use of shadow rendering to add realism were absolutely first rate. CoD was far superior to *Dune* which used mat backgrounds in terms of it's visuals. The best I've seen done on television and the use of computer generated 3-D backgrounds added so much stature to the sets. I especially enjoyed watching Alice Krige because her ability to convey depth of emotion with facial expressions is a well developed art. ![]() Moriarty and Johathan Bruun gave me characters I could relate to as well as care about over the course of the miniseries.

The screenplay by John Harrison managed to fit in enough of Frank Herbert's vision to remain true to the spirit of the epic Dune saga. To not respect that would be the worst offense any of us could make." He's got that straight. The Dune universe is so wonderful because of how human and real its characters are. You'll end up robbing yourself of a great experience. To quote director Greg Yaitanes "Try not to get hung up on such details as whether the twins are too old or too young, the eyes are too blue or not blue enough, or that the book says this and we did that. ![]() First the major issue about the faithfulness to the books. Personally I really enjoyed *Children of Dune*. ![]() ![]() ![]() I’m going to take the chance that Radio Shack no longer thinks or cares about them and host them here. These are still under copyright to Radio Shack, and not distributed with most emulators. Whatever emulator you end up choosing, you’ll also need the TRS-80 ROMs. David Keil’s emulators, for instance, want to bang the hardware of their host platform directly, and so are subject to some limitations when running on more recent Windows variants that disallow that sort of thing. And there have been a number of other emulators released in years past, but I believe most of these are obsolete now in one way or another. The MESS project also includes an emulated TRS-80 that works very well, but getting that up and running will take a bit more effort. I’ve therefore been using a much more obscure emulator, SDLTRS, which not only runs properly on my Windows machine but also has versions for the Mac and for Linux. And since it’s a closed-source application, I can’t try to fix it. In addition to being Windows only, however, it also has some problems running under 64-bit Windows 7: it hangs for up to a full minute before displaying file dialogs. It’s certainly the slickest and most polished that I’ve come across. ![]() The most popular and publicized emulator as I write this seems to be TRS-32 by Matthew Reed. For anyone whose interest is piqued by any of what will follow, I thought I’d offer some hints on getting your own TRS-80 up and running via emulation. As time permits for the next little while I’m going to be exploring some of the works produced for the TRS-80, the most popular platform of the very early home-computer era. ![]() ![]() ![]() See below for more tremendous trees in South Florida (#treemendous).

Kapok tree bark is covered with thorns lending to its nickname in St Croix and other places of “monkey no climb.” The kapok tree can reach 230 feet in height and is the tallest tree in the Amazon and in Africa.

Typing attack features music that seems well-themed with a typical space genre game. Focusing on these large ships early will allow you to destroy the carriers before they launch their carried ships and is a good tactic to keep the on-screen chaos in check. Intermediate-sized ships also have the ability to launch smaller shuttles, though they launch a single two-letter shuttle at a time. If your inaction allows them to approach close to mid-way across the screen, these carriers will release many smaller ships, with one letter each, that are difficult to react to in the chaos of this challenging level. These ships are carriers for many smaller ships. One tip for this level is to identify the very large ships quickly. On expert mode, the action really heats up with many different sized ships closing on your position at various speeds. Recovering quickly, in such an instance, is key to playing the game well. Making a mistake and typing the first letter of a ship you are not paying attention to is a common way to fall behind. ![]() If you notice you are typing the right letters but are seeing no progress in blasting the ship you are watching, scan for progress on other ships, as, once you start typing a word, you must finish destroying one ship before progressing to the next one. Staying cool and calming typing words associated with the ships you notice first can be the best strategy, rather than necessarily trying to figure out which ship might be closing on your position faster. Higher difficulties are available allowing the player to choose a more leisurely learning pace or turn up the challenge to a more high intensity laser-blasting affair.Īs the action heats up, the moving ships and blasting action can be distracting. Approaching ships are identified as words and you must type those word to destroy the ship before it reaches and destroys you. Your missions is to attempt to survive an attack in space.
