- ahmadss 14y agoagreed, thanks for posting the ars link. the youtube video in the OP does a great job of explaining and the thinking behind the attack, and even though it's an hour long, it's worth the watch.
- seanp2k2 14y agoVideo tutorials are awful if they're the only option. I read very quickly, and videos are typically paced at the lowest "average" comprehension level, so they're a painfully inefficient way to relay technical information. Plain text wins again, at least for one-way technical communication.
- eli 14y agoI tend to agree with you, but FYI you sound pretty arrogant when you say it that way.
- dunmalg 14y agoHow about when I say I hate videos of what should be written text because years of exposure to gunfire in the Army has impaired my hearing? I will never understand why people think that the crappy audio channel of a youtube video of some guy "umming" and gulping through a poorly prepared speech, all recorded on a $5 microphone, is a suitable way of passing information.
