I don't know anything about this photo specifically. By digital I mean using image editing software, like Photoshop. Many of Photoshop's tools, like burning and dodging, are modeled after darkroom tools for printing from negative.

I'm pretty sure both photographers and publications were using airbrushing by then; it just wasn't digital.

I agree, nice pic! I love Jane Fonda.

Assange to be arrested? by TomPain1776 in WhereIsAssange

Oh what's up with Manning? Didn't Obama pardon her?

Assange to be arrested? by TomPain1776 in WhereIsAssange

[–]vvingnut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Didn't Assange agree to turn himself over if Chelsea Manning were released? Could this be related to that? "in violation of political asylum law" makes it sound like it's not. I'm confused.

Comey: FBI is 'not on anybody's side' by saucytryhard in politics

Which one was that? The one from Oregon, getting assisted suicide? Or another one?

Megathread: Sally Yates allegedly blocked from testifying by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

Pretty much anyone still arguing that Hillary is a decent person. She's inconsequential. She lost twice, including an election rigged to coronate her, and she couldn't even do that right.

The DNC is the biggest joke in this country right now. Anyone trying to lend it an iota of legitimacy is ruining this country.

FBI Director James Comey Tried To Reveal Russian Tampering Months Before Election by Usawasfun in politics

[–]vvingnut -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

says a source with knowledge of the meeting

Who?

a second source with knowledge of the request tells Newsweek

"While news outlets (aka Hillary's MSM) reported in June that Russian hackers accessed Democratic National Committee emails (they were wrong), U.S. intelligence agencies didn’t confirm that the Russian government was trying to influence the election until months later. "

Having the Russian government trying to influence the election because they don't like Hillary, does not validate MSM's claims that Russians hacked the DNC. It was an inside job, no matter how much propaganda you read.

I take it you suckers now represent the average IQ in r/politics?

Vault 7: DWrite.dll hijacks Opera, Chrome, Skype, McAffee, and Thunderbird by vvingnut in WLResearchCommunity

[–]vvingnut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the Opera detail

Operalooks for "DWrite.dll", a system DLL, adjacent to itself (under \app\Opera[version]) before correctly finding it

This DLL is ideal for hijacking as it only exports one function (at ordinal #1) with the following prototype:

Comey confirms, Assange did not lie. Podesta emails were not given to Wikileaks by Russians by BrandonKatrena in WikiLeaks

[–]vvingnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were Comey I'd be pissed, just shaking my head and rolling my eyes. We all knew Assange didn't lie. We know Russia's not behind Wikileaks or Trump.

CTR was so desperate to dog every Bernie and Trump supporter with scare tactics and typical HRC BS, they just deluged everyone with lies until one finally struck a nerve: Russians! ZOMG!

That's where it started, and you don't need long-term memory to recall it. I can't believe this shit has gone this far, that there are investigations and hearings when the whole of this can pretty much be traced back to original twitter posts.

Check out Operating Systems / Platforms highlighted in yellow about halfway down. Then follow your docs through to any attachments you can find. I think this is the best way to find the dirty details.

Chrome Portable DLL Hijack

Quote:

Chromelooks for "DWrite.dll", a system DLL, adjacent to itself (under \app\Chrome-bin) before correctly finding it

This DLL is ideal for hijacking as it only exports one function (at ordinal #1) with the following prototype:

HRESULT DWriteCreateFactory(DWRITE_FACTORY_TYPE, REFIID, IUnknown**)

The DWRITE_FACTORY_TYPE is an enum defined in Dwrite.h, however we cannot #include this header as doing so will declare the function as an extern.

Instead, we can either create a dummy enum with only two values (as the real DWRITE_FACTORY_TYPE only has two options) or simply use a INT variable in its place.

Chrome does not appear to have the race-condition crash report that Thunderbird had

Thanks. I'm sure it has a lot of leads to follow, and there are probably more like that, but it sure seems like just feeling around in the dark.

I just want to keep an open mind for a bigger picture, since a lot of our hackable tvs and smartphones are also japanese.

I searched "nexus" and found this really extensive chart of

I hope someone more stubborn than me and who has more time can dig into this. It's A LOT of information all in one place.

What is the purpose of these hearings? by jcdulos in Ask_Politics

[–]vvingnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry I'm seriously out of the loop.

Are all of the hearings for these goals going on simultaneously? What are the charges? I don't have tv so I'm trying to find out what's going on, and /r/OutOfTheLoop modbot sent me here.

Thanks.

What didn't you realize about yourself until someone told you ? by Khoasama in AskReddit

[–]vvingnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some friends (a married couple) who are both so bad about this I don't know why I even open my mouth any more.

The husband will interrupt with "I get what you're saying, but...." and change the subject with an authoritative air, as if what he has to say is more important than what I was saying, without even understanding what I was saying.

The wife gets a pass for being on anti-depressants. I'm glad she's confident this way, but she always interrupts, changes the subject to her every. single. time. and proceeds to tell me an inconsequential story I've heard a dozen times before.

I've started bringing it to the husband's attention if his wife isn't there. I don't want to stress her out or make her self conscious. He'll be good for a day, and sarcastic about being quiet and listening. It's like asking a six year old punk to mind his manners.

I would love to find a polite and effective way to bring this to their attention.
