An anonymous reader writes "After only one year in operation, Google's Moto X factory in Fort Worth, TX, is scheduled to close at the end of 2014. The decision to close apparently has nothing to do with Google's decision to sell Motorola Mobility to Lenovo and everything to do with poor sales numbers and high labor and shipping costs in the U.S. The factory had, at one point, employed 3,800 people. Their ranks now number at about 700. Moto E and Moto G, newer and cheaper iterations of Moto X, have sold in more profitable numbers overseas, so Google's original rationale of building phones nearer to the largest customer base to decrease time between assembly and delivery to end user will unsurprisingly force the closure of the U.S.-based factory and transfer labor overseas as well."
First time accepted submitter TC+0 (3672227) writes "Inspired by comments regarding its first incarnation, the Terran Computational Calendar's recent redefinition now includes dynamic support for 'leap duration', 'year bases', and 'datemods'. Here's the new abstract from terrancalendar.com (wikia mirror) captured at 44.5.20,6.26.48 TC+7H:
Synchronized with the northern winter solstice, the terran computational calendar began roughly* 10 days before the UNIX Epoch. Each year is composed of 13 identical 28-day months, followed by a 'minimonth' that houses leap days (one most years and two every 4th but not 128th year) and leap seconds (issued by the IERS during that year). Each date is an unambiguous instant in time that exploits zero-based numbering and a handful of delimiters to represent the number of years and constant length months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds that have elapsed since 0TC (the calendar's starting point). An optional 'year base' may be applied to ignore erratic leap duration. Arithmetic date adjusting 'datemods' can be applied to define things like weeks, quarters, and regional times."
miller60 (554835) writes "Citing strong demand from cryptocurrency miners, data center and colocation providers are beginning to accept Bitcoin as payment for large chunks of data center space. It's a sign that the data center industry sees an emerging opportunity in catering to the hosting needs of crypto miners, who typically seek high-density space with cheap power. While many web hosting companies accept Bitcoin, larger data center players have been slower to embrace cryptocurrency. Utah-based C7 Data Centers says it's accepting Bitcoin because of surging demand. The Utah-based company says it now hosts about 4.5 megawatts of mining gear, just down the road from the NSA data center." On-topic: Dish Networks has recently become the biggest company to accept Bitcoins.
An anonymous reader writes "In the spirit of Jimmy Kimmel's popular Mean Tweets series and in a rare video appearance, Linus Torvalds takes to task a few 'tweeters' who have called him out. Never one to back down, Linus reads the tweets and shares his comments." Sadly, this is just a few -- with weekly updates, Linus could charge a subscription to fund unlimited diving trips.
An anonymous reader writes "We've known for a while now that Google is testing a new favoriting service called Google Stars, aimed at helping users save, share, and organize Web content. This is largely due to multiple leaks, detailing features as well as showing off the interface in a video and screenshots. Today, Google+ user Florian Kiersch, who has done the majority of the digging behind the service, has leaked the Google Stars extension for Google Chrome."
An anonymous reader writes "What got you into hacking? This is a question that Jennifer Steffen, IOActive CEO, often asks hackers she meets on conferences around the world. More often than not, the answer is movies: War Games, Hackers, The Matrix, and so on. But today, it is the real life hacking that is inspiring the movies of tomorrow. 'Hackers are doing epic stuff,' she says, and they are now inspiring movies and comics. So, what got you started? And what makes a good hacker today?"
Meet David. Tim Lord ran into him at the 2014 Maker Faire Bay Area. He didn't have a display, and he wasn't obviously trying to sell anything or promote a Kickstarter campaign. He was just walking around with a panel full of LEDs that he wears as a backpack while riding his bike, which beats the heck out of regular bike taillights, even the blinky flashy ones a lot of us have these days. So good on you, David. This is your three minutes of Slashdot fame -- and please note, people, that you can now fast-forward through any preroll ads longer than 30 seconds, so you won't get bombed with multi-minute ads to watch a three minute Slashdot video. (Alternate video link)
An anonymous reader writes "The SparkFun team took a tour of a factory in China that manufactures LEDs. They took lots of pictures showing the parts that go into the LEDs, the machines used to build them, and the people operating the machines. There's a surprising amount of manual labor involved with making LEDs. Quoting: 'As shipped on the paper sheets, the LED dies are too close together to manipulate. There is a mechanical machine ... that spreads the dies out and sticks them to a film of weak adhesive. This film is suspended above the lead frames ... Using a microscope, the worker manually aligns the die, and, with a pair of tweezers, pokes the die down into the lead frame. The adhesive in the lead frame wins (is more sticky), and the worker quickly moves to the next die. We were told they can align over 80 per minute or about 40,000 per day.'"
DeviceGuru writes: "An open-spec COM that runs OpenWRT Linux on a MIPS-based Ralink RT5350 SoC has won its Indiegogo funding. The $20, IoT-focused VoCore measures 25 x 25mm. How low can you go? Tiny computer-on-modules (COMs) for Internet of Things (IoT) applications are popping up everywhere, with recent, Linux-ready entries including Intel's Atom or Quark-based Edison, Ingenic's MIPS/Xburst-based Newton, Acme Systems's ARM9/SAM9G25 based Arrietta G25, and SolidRun's quad-core i.MX6-based MicroSOM. Now, an unnamed Chinese startup has raised over six times its $6,000 Indiegogo funding goal for what could be the smallest, cheapest Linux COM yet."
An anonymous reader writes "The Guardian reports that many of the security industry's top researchers are being threatened by lawyers and law enforcement over their efforts to track down vulnerabilities in internet infrastructure. 'HD Moore, creator of the ethical hacking tool Metasploit and chief research officer of security consultancy Rapid7, told the Guardian he had been warned by U.S. law enforcement last year over a scanning project called Critical.IO, which he started in 2012. The initiative sought to find widespread vulnerabilities using automated computer programs to uncover the weaknesses across the entire internet. ... Zach Lanier, senior security researcher at Duo Security, said many of his team had "run into possible CFAA issues before in the course of research over the last decade." Lanier said that after finding severe vulnerabilities in an unnamed "embedded device marketed towards children" and reporting them to the manufacturer, he received calls from lawyers threatening him with action."
New submitter graveyardjohn writes: "The BBC has a short video about why the U.K.'s National Ballistics Intelligence Service thinks 3D-printed guns are 'of no use to anyone.' They show a 3D-printed gun being fired in a test chamber. The barrel explodes and the bullet flops forward a few feet. They say, 'without additional expertise and the right type of ammunition, anyone attempting to fire one would probably maim or even kill themselves.'"
cartechboy writes: "Most automakers have made the jump from hydraulic power steering to electronic power steering to help conserve fuel. By using an electric motor instead of a hydraulic system, less energy is drawn from the engine. Many luxury automakers have also introduced adaptive steering with the electronic power steering systems, but now Ford is looking to bring this feature to the masses. Adaptive steering builds on the existing speed-sensitive function of the electronic power steering system by altering the steering ratio and effort based on driver inputs and settings. The system uses a precision-controlled actuator placed inside the steering wheel. It's an electric motor and gearing system that can essentially add or subtract from the driver's steering inputs. This will make the vehicle easier to maneuver at low speeds, and make a vehicle feel more stable at high speeds. The system (video) will be offered on certain Ford vehicles within the next 12 months."
Rambo Tribble writes: "Writing in the American Journal of Epidemiology, researchers have found that sleeping with high ambient light levels may contribute to obesity (abstract). In a survey of 113,000 women, a high correlation was found between higher bedroom light levels and increased propensity to be overweight or obese. Excess light in the sleeping environment has long been known to adversely affect melatonin production and circadian rhythms. It is posited that such an interference with the 'body clock' may be behind these results. Although there is not yet enough evidence to call this a smoking gun, as one researcher put it, 'Overall this study points to the importance of darkness.'"
Byteme writes: "A number of Zazzle.com users have had their art and products removed from the site after a man named Paul Ingrisano was granted a trademark for 'Pi Productions' using a logo that consists of this freely available version of the pi symbol from the Wikimedia website combined with a period. He made infringement claims against several websites, and Zazzle took down many clothing products that featured designs using the pi symbol. When users called them on it, they locked a public forum thread and said they're evaluating Ingrisano's complaint."
Kvorg writes: "Back in 2012 Slashdot noticed how at the time of Perl 5.16, the modern Perl projects, including Mojolicious, formed a new and expanding movement of a Perl Renaissance. With the release of Perl 5.20 and Mojolicious 5.0, the Modern Perl Renaissance is ever more striking. Faster, neater, sharper with its asynchronous APIs, Mojolicious is extremely flexible with its advanced request routing, plugin system, perl templating and hook API. Its adherence to the modern interfaces and standards and its implementation of advanced features in support tools, DOM and CSS selectors makes it easy to program with.
Mojolicious, with its philosophy of optimized code-generation (think metaprogramming), enabled-by-default support for encodings and UTF-8, zero dependency deployment with wide support for existing CPAN packages, zero downtime restarts and fully tested implementations, reminds us of how fun and flexible programming in scripting languages used to be. Of course, integrated documentation and a very supportive bundled development server don't hurt, either. The new Perl release with new postfix dereference syntax, subroutine signatures, new slice syntax and numerous optimizations makes it all even more fun."
An anonymous reader writes "After the HD revolution, display manufacturers rolled out gimmick after gimmick to try to recapture that burst of purchasing (3-D, curved displays, 'Smart' features, form factor tweaks, etc). Now, we're finally seeing an improvement that might actually be useful: 4K displays are starting to drop into a reasonable price range. Tech Report reviews a 28" model from Asus that runs $650. They say, 'Unlike almost every other 4K display on the market, the PB287Q is capable of treating that grid as a single, coherent surface. ... Running games at 4K requires tons of GPU horsepower, yet dual-tile displays don't support simple scaling. As a result, you can't drop back to obvious subset resolutions like 2560x1440 or 1920x1080 in order to keep frame rendering times low. ... And single-tile 4K at 30Hz stinks worse, especially for gaming. The PB287Q solves almost all of those problems.' They add that the monitor's firmware is not great, and while most options you want are available, they often require digging through menus to set up. The review ends up recommending the monitor, but notes that, more importantly, its capabilities signify 'the promise of better things coming soon.'"
brindafella writes: "Over the last two days, the (Reboot Project for the International Sun/Earth Explorer 3 (ISEE-3) satellite has successfully commanded ISEE-3 from Earth, using signals transmitted from the Aricebo Observatory. Signals were also received by cooperating dishes: the 21-meter dish located at Kentucky's Morehead State University Space Science Center; the 20-meter dish antenna in Bochum Observatory, Germany, operated by AMSAT Germany; and SETI's Allen Telescope Array, California. ISEE-3 was launched in 1978, and last commanded in 1999 by NASA. On May 15, 2014, the project reached its crowdfunding goal of US$125,000, which will cover the costs of writing the software to communicate with the probe, searching through the NASA archives for the information needed to control the spacecraft, and buying time on the dish antennas. The project then set a 'stretch goal' of $150,000, which it also met with a final total of $159,502 raised. The goal is to be able to command the spacecraft to fire its engines to enter an Earth orbit, and then be usable for further space exploration. This satellite does not even have a computer; it is all 'hard-wired.'"
An anonymous reader writes "When Glenn Greenwald's book came out recently, one of the most startling revelations was that the NSA has been intercepting shipments of networking gear to add spyware. Cisco was one of the vendors whose gear was altered, and now their shipping provider has spoken up about it: 'UPS, which Cisco has used since 1997 to ship hardware to customers around the world, said on Thursday that it did not voluntarily allow government officials to inspect its packages unless it is required to do so by law. "UPS' long-standing policy is to require a legal court-ordered process, such as a subpoena, before responding to any third-party requests," UPS spokeswoman Kara Ross wrote in an e-mail to TheBlot Magazine. "UPS is not aware of any court orders from the NSA seeking to inspect technology-related shipments." In a follow-up e-mail, Ross said UPS had no knowledge of similar orders from the FBI, CIA or any other federal agency.' That sounds like carefully parsed language to me. 'Did not voluntarily,' 'unless it is required to do so by law.' Perhaps they're bound by a National Security Letter?"
An anonymous reader writes "Scientists at the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience say they've managed to reliably teleport quantum information stored in one bit of diamond to another sitting three meters away (abstract, pre-print) . Now, their goal is to extend the range over a distance of a kilometer. '[R]eliability of quantum teleportation has been elusive. For example, in 2009, University of Maryland physicists demonstrated the transfer of quantum information, but only one of every 100 million attempts succeeded, meaning that transferring a single bit of quantum information required roughly 10 minutes. In contrast, the scientists at Delft have achieved the ability "deterministically," meaning they can now teleport the quantum state of two entangled electrons accurately 100 percent of the time. They did so by producing qubits using electrons trapped in diamonds at extremely low temperatures. According to Dr. Hanson, the diamonds effectively create 'miniprisons' in which the electrons were held. The researchers were able to establish a spin, or value, for electrons, and then read the value reliably.'"
An anonymous reader writes "The proposed SpaceX spaceport in Brownsville, Texas, has passed its final federal environmental review. 'The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which had raised concerns about possible impact on habitat for some endangered species, ultimately concluded that "the project is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any listed or proposed to be listed species nor adversely modify piping plover critical habitat". But wildlife officials don't expect the project to be harmless: Two individual cats, either from the endangered ocelot or jaguarondi species, could be lost as a result of the project in spite of efforts to avoid just that with measures such as posting warning signs along the road leading to the launch site. And federal wildlife officials also anticipate that more than 7 miles of beachfront used by nesting sea turtles could be disturbed by security patrols, though driving is already permitted on the beach.'"
jfruh (300774) writes "Amazon is pushing hard to be as ubiquitous in the world of cloud computing as it is in bookselling. The company's latest pitch is that even your highest-performing databases will run more efficiently on Amazon Web Services cloud servers than on your own hardware. Farming out your most important and potentially sensitive computing work to one of the most opaque tech companies out there: what could possibly go wrong?"
StartsWithABang (3485481) writes "It's hard to believe, but there are people alive today who remember a world where Newtonian gravity was the accepted theory of gravitation governing our Universe. 95 years ago today, the 1919 solar eclipse provided the data that would provide the test of the three key options for how light would respond to the presence of a gravitational field: would it not bend at all? Would it bend according to Newton's predictions if you took the "mass" of a photon to be E/c^2? Or would it bend according to the predictions of Einstein's wacky new idea? Celebrate the 95th anniversary of relativity's confirmation by reliving the story."

I moved my 2 year old out of his crib at 20 months old and he's been in his big boy bed (full size) for over 4 months. I purchased the Sealy Backsaver pillowtop. He tosses and turns all night from his stomach to his side, as if he's not comfortable. If money is no object for my sons comfort and I want to purchase perhaps a more firmer bed (plush or Ultra Plush) because I think the pillow top is too soft, because he didn't toss and turn that much in his crib because the crib mattress is a bit more firm. What is the best plush bed on market that's not more than 11 1/2 inches in height (his bed already has bunkie board, so only need mattress? He's a stomach and side sleeper and I want something that will last atleast 10 years.
Sign, Picky Mom who wants to the best for her baby boy
Hi Regina. As you've found out, "the best" isn't neccessarily the fancy pillowtop. Cribs are made quite firm to avoid SIDS....and that's what he's been use to. Not only is the soft pillowtop a change from his norm, to allow his to get use to a soft mattress will create orthopedic problems for him when he's older.
Being a full size, it isn't unreasonable to expect this mattress to last until he's grown and gone. What will help dramatiacally is not allowing him to use it as a trampoline. Regardless of how much fun and how cute it looks, there's little that's more damaging. The other thing is to keep it dry....which would require a waterproof mattress pad.
Once you are resigned to these preventitive steps, you are ready to make your purchase. (Without them, it won't matter what you buy. You'll be getting new mattresses regularly.)
And while the model names vary from store to store, the one you want will say, "Sealy Posturepedic Reserve cushion firm" on the label. As firmer beds go, it's plenty comfy.

Everything I've read in previous reviews about the octopus was true. It was incredibly delicious and meaty to the point where at first look we were question if it was chicken! It was very reasonably priced and came with sides.
The fish was a bit overcooked. But it was fun to sit nearly "on" the street to catch all the people and action going by as we ate. Including a 40ft boat being pulled by a homemade jeep!
We asked for the bill three times but were ignored, and when it finally came we had been significantly overcharged - which they admitted and apologized for but didn't fully refund. There are too many other good places around to bother with this one.
This was our second dinner in Puerto Ayora, and it did not disappoint! Cafe del Mar might offer other items, but anything from their grill is exceptional. We had a sampling of all their grilled meats, and it was delicious. Highly recommend! Note: Their seafood is on the pricier side, so stick with the meats and go to the Kiosk... More
We stopped in early for dinner (it's a short walk from the Galapagos Suites) and were the first customers there.

We have just returned home from a combined land/boat trip to the Galapagos, & our last meal on the islands was happily at Cafe del Mar.

There are some tasty barbequed meat, chicken and fish options here, all accompanied by a baked potato and a veg for under $10. Sadly Lobster was "out of season" while we were here. A good casual dining option. There are a few tables on the sidewalk, great for people watching.
Buy your lobster or fish at the seafood market and they will prepare it for you here. Only suggestions would be more options for vegetarians.
A most rewarding experience, great deal for the price of a decent barbeque. Opened only at night but could be late.

Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Businessman Herman Cain and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney are in a statistical tie for the most support among Republicans in Iowa, where the presidential nomination contests start Jan. 3, a poll shows.
The Iowa Poll, conducted by the Des Moines Register newspaper, shows Cain with the support of 23 percent of likely caucus participants and Romney backed by 22 percent.
Texas Governor Rick Perry has considerable work to do in Iowa, the poll shows, if he wants to regain his standing in the race. Perry has support from 7 percent of likely caucus-goers in the poll, trailing Representative Ron Paul of Texas at 12 percent. Besides Cain and Romney, Paul was the only other Republican candidate to exceed 10 percent.
"The people at the top are not the people who have been spending a lot of time in the state," said J. Ann Selzer, president of Des Moines, Iowa-based Selzer & Co., which conducted the poll and also administers the Bloomberg National Poll. "You don't see the importance of a ground game play out until closer to the time of the caucuses."
Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota recorded 8 percent support in the poll, virtually tied with 7 percent for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia.
Bachmann said she wasn't "worried about the day-to-day snapshots."
"I'm doing exactly what I need to do in Iowa," Bachmann said in an interview on ABC's "This Week with Christiane Amanpour" program yesterday. "I'm here all across the state, meeting with people multiple times every day."
Paul said on CNN's "State of the Union" program that he has "no intention" of running as a third party candidate.
Former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, who has spent more time in Iowa than any other candidate, stood at 5 percent. Former Utah Governor John Huntsman Jr., who is not actively competing in Iowa, found support among 1 percent.
The Iowa poll was conducted Oct. 23-26 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
Perry, 61, led national polls in the Republican race just five weeks ago. Since then, his standing in surveys has dropped by as much as 20 percentage points, after debate performances he acknowledged were mediocre and as Cain gained ground.
"We've got a great debater, a smooth politician in the White House right now," Perry said on the "Fox News Sunday" program. "That's not working out very good for America."
Five Perry Debates
Perry has agreed to participate in five more debates this year.
"Heck I may actually be a good debater by the end of this," Perry said on the Fox program yesterday.
If Perry is to regain momentum, his surge most likely will have to start in Iowa, where the lead-off caucuses begin the 2012 presidential nominating process. Perry is scheduled to spend at least two days in Iowa during the next week. He has also started running television ads in the state.
Romney, 64, is taking a below-the-radar approach to Iowa and is seeking to manage expectations for himself in the state.
In his 2008 presidential bid, after an all-out effort to win the caucuses, he finished second behind former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Social conservatives who dominate the Republican caucuses balked at Romney's past support of abortion rights and a Massachusetts health-care law he signed, and his caucus loss helped derail his candidacy.
This election season, those conservatives have yet to rally around a contender, creating the prospect that they could divide their support among all the other candidates and create an opening for Romney.
For all his gains in the polls, Cain, 65, has scant organization in Iowa -- traditionally a prerequisite for a strong caucus showing. He made his first visit to the state in more than two months a week ago.
"I believe that I'm doing so well because I'm connecting with the people," Cain said on CBS's "Face the Nation" program. "Americans want to feel proud again and they don't feel that pride right now."

The BlogMaking ItA unilateralist reporter hooks up with Christopher Hitchens and makes a run for the Iraqi border.12:46 PM, Apr 4, 2003
• By MATT LABASH
Safwan, Iraq You can tell how at ease a man is in the world from the scarcity of possessions he lugs around with him. When I came here, it was with large backpacks and overstuffed duffels, extraneous tote bags, pouches, and carry-ons. But Hitchens showed up at my door with nothing more than a firm handshake and a half-smoked pack of Rothman's. As he stood there, rumpled and slightly jetlagged in blue jeans and a black leather jacket, he looked sort of like the Fonz--if the Fonz had been a British former socialist who could pinch large swaths of Auden from memory. We plopped down in the living room, and I asked him why he hadn't brought his gas mask, chem suit, and Kevlar. "I wore Kevlar in the Balkans once," he said, "but it made me feel like a counterfeit, so I ditched it." Despite this cavalier disregard for safety, I was so grateful for the company that I offered him a Welcome-To-Kuwait shot of "Listerine" (as it is known by Kuwaiti customs officials). "I don't usually start this early," said Hitchens with feigned reluctance, "but holding yourself to a drinking schedule is always the first sign of alcoholism." AS I BRIEFED HITCHENS on the difficulties and dangers of getting into Iraq as an unembedded reporter, his eyes betrayed a wild impatience. "I have to get to Iraq," he told me. "You and everybody else," I replied, adding that the line started around the block. No, he said, I didn't understand. Vanity Fair had paid his freight, and he only had a short time. If his boots did not touch Iraqi soil, the mission would be a failure. Luckily, my best Kuwaiti contact called. The Kuwait Red Crescent Society was going into southern Iraq on a humanitarian drop. "Can you be downtown at the Sheraton by 1:00 p.m.?" she asked. It was 12:55, and we were in my car before she hung up. When we got there, the convoy was pulling out and we weren't in it. "This can't be happening," Hitchens said, as if not getting in-country three hours after his plane touched down was an utter professional failure. The next day, the Red Crescent made another run, so we got to the Sheraton at dawn's crack to make sure we were on board. At the hotel press center, staffed by Kuwaiti Ministry of Information officials, an overflow crowd of journalists scurried about, all trying to cut deals to gain passage. With hundreds of journalists waiting anxiously, like theater majors hoping for a speaking part in the school play, the list was finally posted. Hitchens and I were on it. I looked around to celebrate, but he was out having a smoke. When I finally spotted him, I broke the good news. I asked him if we should capture this celebratory moment with my disposable camera. "No," he said, exhaling a cloud of smoke. "Save it for the bloated corpses. Don't say anything," he said, "or something bad will happen." Hitchens told me that outside the hotel, he'd just run into P.J. O'Rourke. P.J. was riding in a caravan with ABC radio, and he'd asked Hitchens to join him. "They only had one seat," said Hitchens, "so I declined." (Like the Marines, Hitchens never leaves a comrade behind.) I ran into the gift shop to fill up my bag with gifts for the Iraqis. I already had Matchbox cars and Tic-Tacs, so I grabbed several cartons of Marlboro reds. When I came back out, Hitchens was having a smoke, and O'Rourke had rejoined him. As I sidled up to them, O'Rourke, here for the Atlantic Monthly, congratulated me, telling me I was probably the only person here serving a smaller readership than he was. I showed both of them the contents of my swag bag, from which I intended to pass out gifts like GI Johnny from some bad World War II movie. "What?" said O'Rourke, "No chewing gum?" O'Rourke is an old hand in these parts, having gotten a book out of the first Gulf War ("Give War a Chance"). And so he was holding forth with mock bravado, telling us we hadn't seen anything. During 1991, he said, Scuds were coming down like rain. "The worst part was, the Saudis didn't know how to respond. They'd be driving like this [turning the wheel wildly] while looking out the window up into the sky. You stood a lot less chance of getting killed by a Scud than you did by an unguided Chevy Caprice." |

Only a single element on a single page may have any given ID. If you have more than one element with the same ID, you should not expectgetElementById
to work at all.
In this example, you are taking the result ofgetElementById
and treat it as if it was a NodeList - it's not, that's in fact a browser bug. ThegetElementById
method should always return a single Element. If your document does not make sure that there is only a single element with any given ID, then that is a broken document, but Opera does actually work perfectly fine as expected, in difference to Internet Explorer in this case. (If you're expecting Opera to have the Internet Explorer behaviour, then it's your expectation that needs to be corrected, because that's not the way things are meant to work.)
I'm sorry, but that attitude is really bad. Why? Because the correct way to fix your problem is to first make sure you never have more than a single element with the same ID. (Also, neither[
is allowed in an ID.)
Second, if you want a NodeList of form controls (in this case checkboxes or radio buttons) that belong together, then you give all those elements the same name.
That's the rules of the game. If you don't want to play by them, then you find yourself with scripts that never were meant to work the way they do, they just incidentally happen to play to some browser bugs in certain browsers which allow them to work in that particular browser.

ME Madrid Reina Victoria, Madrid
Editor's Pick
Spain 28012
Tel: 34 91 701 6000
Concierge.com's insider take:
Once the hotel of choice among visiting bullfighters, the 192-room ME in Madrid, formerly the Grand Hotel Reina Victoria, could just be the coolest hotel in the city, or at least it's trying very hard to be. Where else would you find a room with David Bowie quotes etched into the bathroom mirror? Rooms have flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, a purple retro-style mini bar with matching armchair, and a special light switch called "Hey, You Sexy Thing," which turns on a set of purple strip lights behind the bed's headboard, should you get lucky with one of the beautiful people who frequent the Penthouse, ME's rooftop bar. The seventh-floor venue overlooks the buzzing Santa Ana Square and its many tapas bars and restaurants.
From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
Sol Meliía's new high-design brand makes a bold statement with its first property, ME Madrid. The palatial white building in Plaza Santa Ana only vaguely resembles its previous incarnation as the favorite hangout of bullfighters, but enormous (faux) bull heads mounted in the hotel's Midnight Rose bar are a winking homage. Otherwise, ME Madrid has been completely revamped into a modern space designed to woo trendy young patrons. Its 192 small rooms are outfitted almost entirely in white, with dashes of bright purple, while the baths are inlaid in dark brown marble. The rooftop Penthouse is a stylish outdoor bar with candlelit couches and great mojitos. The mantra "Everything is possible" is taken seriously by the staff, who provide all comforts.
2007 Hot ListWhen to go: Spring and fall mean fewer tourists and mild temperatures.
Which room to book: One of the three Grand Suites on the sixth floor, for floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Plaza skyline.
Amenities: 24-hour Room Service, Bar/lounge, Gym

Popular Johnstown restaurant to expand to historically failing location
Several businesses have moved in and out of the space over the last few years
By Jackalyn Kovac
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. --- The restaurant space at the Johnstown-Cambria County Airport has had many restaurant businesses come and go over the years. The last restaurant, Cal and Dot's Rock & Country Bar & Grill, lasted four months in the space.
At the airport, signs on Cal and Dot's doors say it's closed for remodeling, however the space will re-open as an entirely new business.
Press Bistro will expand its downtown business by opening a new location at the airport. Press opened up on Franklin Street in downtown Johnstown 8 months ago.
Owner Jeremy Shearer told 6 News the recent success at the downtown location led to the idea of expanding. Shearer says he isn't afraid of the space' past.
"A lot of people have noticed in the past that it is an out-of-the-way location and that makes it a challenge for a business professional to get away on a short lunch break and drive all the way out there," said Shearer. "We hope to find the audience that will drive up there and will enjoy the new Press atmosphere that we're going to bring to the airport."
Former Cal and Dot's employees will be able to keep their jobs and transition into Press employees. The new location is slated to open Jan. 14.

We recently installed a kitchen range hood, 10" round duct and a Fantech RE(C) external blower (mounted on curb on side of house). No one mentioned and we never considered that we'd have backdraft or bugs or anything else. But with summer temps, we have hot air coming in and are afraid this winter we'll have cold air.
We'd like to have a backdraft damper installed. How easy will this be now that the system is already in? |

Companies that operate critical infrastructures and do not voluntarily
allow the federal government to install monitoring software on their
networks to detect possible cyberattacks would face the "wild" internet
on their own and place us all at risk, a top Pentagon official seemed to
say Wednesday.
Defense Deputy Secretary William Lynn III, speaking at the Strategic
Command Cyber Symposium in Nebraska, said we need to think imaginatively
about how to use the National Security Agency's Einstein monitoring
systems on critical private-sector networks -- such as those in the
financial, utility and communication industries -- in order to protect
"Operators of critical infrastructure could opt in to a
government-sponsored security regime," Lynn said. Otherwise, "individual
users who do not want to enroll could stay in the wild wild west of the
unprotected internet."
Failure to protect the power grids, transportation system, or financial
sector, he said, "could lead to physical damage and economic disruption
on a massive scale."
Privacy and civil liberties groups, however, have raised concerns about
the Einstein systems with regard to what information they would collect
and share with the government and what oversight, if any, would be put
in place to ensure that federal privacy and wiretapping laws are not

For a while, I was a proponent of Bohemia releasing an Arma game that was just a platform for the fans to build upon, and it almost happened with Arma 3: they released the game with a few showcases and Steam Workshop integration, but held the campaign back to work on it post-release. Except doing that made me realise that it does feel incomplete without something official to ease into. Survive, the first episode of the campaign, turned out to be a cracking few hours of island-based action. It reminded me that Arma's sandbox could easily be used to create a tightly controlled story, as opposed to the sandboxy mods usually install. I'm excited to hear that the second part, dubbed Adapt, will be arriving on January 21st.

When Comrade Stanton gazed into the beautiful behind of Arma 3, he thought it was a sideways roll for the series. Part of the problem was that the game's campaign wasn't included, and instead was coming via three "free" DLC packs in the months after release.
Now the first part of the campaign is out, and there's a launch trailer below.

Going Ballistic: Arma 3's Bullet Physics Detailed In Video
By Graham Smith on October 28th, 2013.
Videogames are impossibly complex, and it's a miracle they work at all. Have you ever stopped to think about what a game like tactical shooter Arma 3 is doing, 30 times a second, every second? All those polygons it's drawing on screen, the bouncing of light off those polygons, the physics of every vehicle, the animation of every character, the artificial brains to bring those characters to life. And, of course, the guns and the bullets they fire, ripping through the world, arcing, losing momentum, draining health.
Arma 3's ballistics are more impressive than any game in the series, and this video from dslyecxi, leader of the ShackTac troop, shows why.
Glimpse At Arma 3's Campaign In This Gallery
By Craig Pearson on October 11th, 2013.
Arma 3 arrived with a weather system, a day-and-night cycle, an island so beautiful that it makes me want to go on holiday, quad-copters, bunnies, and a fully-integrated mission distribution system. But it was still missing a proper single-player mode, which I am keen on playing. The official campaign from Bohemia will come in three parts as DLC, and the first part of that will be released on Oct 31st. How do I know? They told me. They also sent me some lovely screenshots of it, and I've dropped them in below.

Let's Dive Into The Arma 3 Workshop
By Craig Pearson on October 4th, 2013.
We're still waiting for official Arma 3 content to arrive from Bohemia, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to play. The Arma 3 Steam Workshop is a time-sink of missions, mods, and misc add-ons that I can only describe by pulling a face. Just imagine a quizzical kitten. What's on there? What's worth playing? What's worth experiencing (which might mean it's broken but worth a look, or it might be so ridiculous that I couldn't help but install it)? Here are a few things that caught my eye.
Wot I Think: ArmA III
By Rich Stanton on September 13th, 2013.
Look at that screenshot. Study it. That's not just any ass. That is a rear view of former PC Gamer writer Richard McCormick, and a few days ago I spent at least an hour with this in my face while guiding us around the extensive coast of Altis in an assault boat. It took up so much of my screen for such a long time that I came to see it as not just a digital derriere, but an emblem of ArmA III.
Let's find out why.
Campaignless Transition: Arma 3
By Adam Smith on September 12th, 2013.
The attractive island exploration simulator multiplayer military simulator, Arma III, has officially transitioned from its extended beta phase into full release mode. Sort of. Bohemia have dropped the beta tag but they haven't added a campaign to the game yet – that'll be released in the near future and patched in. After months of discoveries, which mostly involved Craig crashing helicopters while eyeing up shacks, bees and Altis, it feels like the game has been out for a good while already. The release version includes the full island of Altis, with 12 showcases and 3 faction showcases, 10 challenges and 9 multiplayer scenarios. We'll have a Wot I Think soon. For now, engage your visual organs and watch the launch trailer.
One Day, Altis Will Be Yours: Arma 3 Footage
By Craig Pearson on August 12th, 2013.
I love the disconnect of Arma 3. Look at the shot above. That APC is the IFV-6c Panther. You can tell it's a scary beast because it has all those letters in front of it, and there's that gun turret on top. And where have Bohemia plonked it? In front of a lovely sunset. It feels like a massive joke that got out of hand: "Can we recreate an incredibly holiday island?" "Yes we can. We can build beautifully a rendered Mediterranean island, with flatlands and rolling hills, tiny villages and huge cities." "Great! Now let's fill it with hulking war bastards and blow shit up." And so they did. They're so proud of it that they streamed an hour of their new island this weekend, and I have embedded it like an unexploded bomb. Except you may approach this.

Shack Attack: Arma 3 Construction Mod
By Craig Pearson on August 8th, 2013.
Hunting through impressive Arma 3 mods is a full-time job. Luckily for me, it's my full-time job, so I get to show everyone what amazing things the community has been making and keep myself in the manner to which I've become accustomed (impoverished, hungry, covered in sores). So in admiring this amazing in development Arma 3 Construction Mod, you're doing me a favour. Go on, admire it. It's definitely worth a coo over: it's a building mod that will enable you to create everything from simple shacks to complex, multi-story, er, shacks. The trailer is very impressive.

Arma 3's Single-Player Is Episodic, Released Later
By Craig Pearson on August 7th, 2013.
I already sort of consider Arma 3 to be out, but I've sunk 40 hours into the alpha/beta/whatever, so that's skewed my view of it. To me, it's out, even if there's more to come. To Bohemia, the real launch will happen sometime in September. This will bring with it the full island of Altis, with 12 showcases and 3 faction showcases, 10 challenges, 9 multiplayer scenarios, but it won't bring the single-player campaign. That's been delayed, and will be episodically delivered. The first episode, Survive, will be out within four weeks of the initial release. The following two sections arrive in the following months.

Arma 3's Helicopters Can Actually Land And Stuff
By Jim Rossignol on August 5th, 2013.
It's story time again with community Arma tsar Andrew "Dslyecxi" Gluck, who has been explaining all about how to play Arma 3, via a series of videos. His latest tackles an aspect of the previous games that always gave me – and I am sure a few others like me – the willies: helicopters. Sure, it's often possible to take off with a helicopter in these games, but parking them in a tree just seems impossible. Fortunately Dslyecxi explains that I've been doing it wrong all this time, as you'll see below.

Zoom Zoom Zoombies: DayZ In Arma 3
By Nathan Grayson on July 29th, 2013.
Dean "Rocket" Hall has no plans to port DayZ into Arma 3's shiny new MAXIMUM GRAPHICSABILITYROCKABILLY engine, but fans? Well, they're free to do as they please. And so, the Zoombies mod was born. It is, for all intents and purposes, the DayZ Arma 2 mod transferred directly into Arma 3. Same models, weapons, and systems, but with lots of sleek, seductive makeup for the zombies and glorious goodies like a streamlined inventory. Sounds like quite the thing, huh? It's not quite DayZ Standalone, but bravo nonetheless.

Have An A-Mod-Zing Weekend
By Craig Pearson on July 12th, 2013.
Jim is basically the J. Jonah Jameson of RPS: I was handsomely making sweet news for you guys when he stormed into the forbidden RPS chatroom of mystery, slammed his fists on the desk with the rage that only an editor can muster, and demanded I find some mods. "It's the weekend!", he angrily typed. "If you don't find at least three mods by the end of the day that the readers can play, you can go and beg VG247 forra job." And then he stormed out, muttering about page impressions, tea, and robots. Luckily I've been on a bit of a modding binge of late, so I have a few interesting things for you. Do you have Arma 3 installed? That's nice.

The former Reds striker is the latest in a series of footballing figures to make a stand against the hostilities, saying the issue is "more important than football"
Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has called for Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra to lead the Hillsborough tributes by laying flowers at Anfield when his former side take on Manchester United this weekend.The two were involved in a race storm when the teams met last season, resulting in Suarez being banned for eight games for racial abuse.
9/1 | Liverpool are 9/1 to draw 0-0 with Manchester United with bet365 |
The game is the first since the publication of the Hillsborough report, and amid calls for offensive chants between the clubs' fans to stop, Fowler is the latest prominent figure to call for peace.
"The Suarez-Evra incident overshadowed a lot of stuff last year," Fowler told BBC Radio 5 live.
"It would be nice for Luis Suarez to put some flowers towards the Manchester United end regarding Munich, and maybe for Patrice Evra to lay some flowers at the Kop end.
"The two clubs do have a rivalry, but some things are far more important than football and this is one of them. Both clubs have a respect for each other, for what they have achieved in the game."

Rey Maualuga settles assault case
CINCINNATI -- A judge dismissed an assault charge against Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga on Thursday after learning the dispute was settled in mediation.
He still faces possible punishment from the NFL under its personal conduct policy.
Maualuga was charged with misdemeanor assault after an employee at a downtown bar told police that the middle linebacker punched him in the face on Feb. 5. The case was referred to mediation.
Maualuga appeared in Hamilton County Municipal Court on Thursday for an update hearing that lasted less than 2 minutes. Judge Heather S. Russell dismissed the case after prosecutors said neither Maualuga nor the bar employee wanted to pursue the matter.
"Thank you judge," Maualuga said, then left the courthouse quickly.
He could be punished by the NFL for getting in trouble a second time.
The league fined him two game checks and made him forfeit a two-week share of his signing bonus in 2010 after he pleaded guilty to drunken driving. Police in northern Kentucky said Maualuga, a second-round pick in 2009, hit a parking meter and two parked cars while driving drunk.
Maualuga got a suspended seven-day jail sentence, had his driver's license suspended and was ordered to participate in an alcohol and drug education program to settle the 2010 case. He also had to make financial restitution for damages from the accident.
AFC North blog
ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley writes about all things AFC North in his division blog.
He was the fourth Bengal player charged with a crime since last summer.
Running back Cedric Benson was charged with misdemeanor assault last July for an altercation with a former roommate in Texas. He served five days in jail there, and was suspended for one game by the NFL. Benson is currently a free agent.
Cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct for a disturbance at a downtown bar last July. He received a year of probation and community service. He became a free agent after the season and signed another deal with the Bengals.
Receiver Jerome Simpson served a 15-day jail sentence in northern Kentucky this month after pleading to a drug-related charge for receiving a shipment of marijuana at his home last year. Simpson, an unrestricted free agent, officially signed with Minnesota on Thursday.
Simpson will be suspended for three games under the league's substance abuse policy, an NFL source has told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The Best Blu-ray/DVD Releases of the Week: 'All is Lost,' 'Masquerade,' 'The Americans,' and 'On the Job'
Features By Rob Hunter on February 11, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. All Is Lost Robert Redford stars as a man sailing solo who encounters trouble out at sea. He awakens to the impact of his sailboat colliding with a derelict shipping container and quickly sets about trying to fix the damage before catastrophe occurs. His experience grows increasingly precarious, and soon he's fighting against nature and circumstance for his very life. Writer/director J.C. Chandor's follow-up to the excellent Wall Street drama Margin Call is even more engaging, but it accomplishes the feat through an opposite degree of dialogue. While that film was filled with fast-talk and lots of it, Redford's character is the only one onscreen here leaving him no one to talk to but himself. (Sure, that didn't stop Sandra Bullock from being a lonely chatterbox in Gravity, but this is a smarter movie.) The drama and suspense build naturally here as we work alongside the sailor in his efforts, and the script treats viewers as intelligent enough to follow along without needing every detail spelled out. This is a beautiful film about strength, resiliency, and the will to survive. [Blu-ray/DVD extras: Commentary, featurettes]
The 13 Best Films of 2013: Critic's Picks
Best of 2013 By Rob Hunter on December 30, 2013 | Comments (2)Before Midnight! Gravity! The Wolf of Wall Street! Fruitvale Station! The Great Beauty! Philomena! Frances Ha! Blue Jasmine! Spring Breakers! Nebraska! Dallas Buyers Club! The Wind Rises! Saving Mr. Banks! None of the thirteen critically acclaimed films above are on my list of the thirteen best films of 2013 below. Make of that what you will, but of the whopping 241 new releases I watched this year these are the thirteen that have stuck with me the strongest. That said, I did make a conscious effort to focus on U.S. releases for the list since I have a separate Top 13 for Best Foreign Language films. It's been a fantastic year in cinema all around, and I could just as easily offered a list twice as long. Keep reading to see what I feel are the thirteen best movies of 2013.
Year In Review: 13 Movie Doppelgangers from 2013
Features By Kevin Carr on December 20, 2013 | Be the First To CommentEvery year, there seem to be unintended themes emerging from movie releases. It's almost as if the studios called each other to coordinate projects like friends in high school planning to wear matching outfits on a Friday. Sometimes this effect is unintentional, like when an emerging movie star manages to have multiple films comes out the same year (see Melissa McCarthy below); other times, it's a result of executives switching studios and developing similar projects (like the infamous Disney and DreamWorks 1998 double-header grudge match of A Bug's Life vs. Antz and Armageddon vs. Deep Impact). This year is no different, producing a slew of movie doppelgangers. For the sake of creativity, I left the painfully obvious off. Still, who can forget offerings like Olympus Has Fallen up against White House Down as well as This Is the End paired with The World's End? And, if you really hate yourself, you can watch a terrible trippleganger of A Haunted House, Scary Movie 5 and 30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with the Devil Inside the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Whether it's similar themes, the same actor in noticeably similar roles, or parallel stand-out moments in two films, this list of 13 movie pairings can provide a nice selection of companion pieces for your viewing pleasure.
10 Movies to Watch After You've Seen the Movies of 2013
Features By Christopher Campbell on December 8, 2013 | Comments (3)This week's list of movies to watch is not inspired by a single new release, because there isn't anything big enough out this weekend to warrant such a focus. Instead, I've got a year-end feature for you inspired by the entirety of 2013 in film. I can't sum up every title released this year with only ten recommendations, but the movies I've selected are, I believe, the best representatives of the more notable titles and trends seen in the past dozen months. Most of the selections are familiar. Chances are you've seen more than a few. But obviously this edition has to involve more popular fare because they have to be influential movies to have informed so much of this year's crop, even if unintentionally. Just take it as a call to watch them again, along with whatever you haven't seen before, as a special sort of year in review of the most important movies of 2013 released before 2013.
Battling Our Debris: The Real Struggles of 'Gravity,' 'Captain Phillips' and 'All is Lost'
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on November 19, 2013 | Comments (2)Captivity/survivor narratives are hardly unfamiliar to our movie screens, and such films tend to come in bunches. Three years ago, for instance, both Buried and 127 Hours boasted solo or near-solo performances from two rising Hollywood stars who spent the duration of their films as the solitary face we see. But last month brought a prominent and concentrated group of such films, all met with overwhelmingly good reviews, promising major performances from their leading survivor types, and coasting on significant awards buzz. While each film explores near misses, false moments of possible redemption, the necessary instance of despair, and ultimately an incredible optimism in the possibility for human beings to survive a conflagration of elements that work overwhelmingly against them, each of these films go about this differently. Yet the major factor connecting J.C. Chandor's All is Lost, Paul Greengrass' Captain Phillips, and Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity is that they all stage humans' fraught relationship to nature through the problems and failures of human commerce and its attendant production of waste. Their respective fights with or on the landscape of nature, in other words, are inaugurated by the failure of humans to wield their own devices.
'All Is Lost' Finds Robert Redford's Best Performance in Decades
Cannes Film Festival By Shaun Munro on October 18, 2013 | Be the First To CommentEditor's note: Our review of All Is Lost originally ran during this year's Cannes Film Festival, but we're re-posting it as the film opens today in theatrical release. J.C. Chandor follows up his sturdy 2011 debut Margin Call with a staggeringly ambitious if niche project that will appeal most to fans of its star – and, in fact, its only actor – Robert Redford. If the actor is better known for his iconography than his acting prowess these days – though is highly respected as a director and founder of the Sundance Film Festival – he delivers what is easily one of his all-time best performances as a lone man lost at sea. Much hype has followed the film considering the claim from Redford that the drama unfolds free of dialogue, and aside from a brief opening narration, a desperate plea to a fuzzy radio signal, and an enraged expletive, this is true. Chandor's minimalist effort begins with the man discovering a hole in his boat, and finishes with the very end of his predicament – whether that is death or rescue will be the prime question occupying viewers' minds.
Trailers For All of This Week's Releases: Desperation Edition
Movie News By Scott Beggs on October 16, 2013 | Comments (1)The characters of this week's releases are at the end of their ropes. That might even be literal for Robert Redford's character in All Is Lost unless sailors have a different word for "rope." And they probably do. Some of the film figures of the week are covered in blood, some have been kidnapped into slavery, some have been falsely imprisoned, some are fighting the system, and some are losing the battle against it. Desperation seems like a common theme. Of course, it's October, so "ghosts" are another big one. And who's more desperate than they are? There's also a lot more going on in a week with a massive amount of movies. Here's your trailer-ized guide to what's coming out:
It's October, which means awards season has officially commenced. Last month gave us a taste with Ron Howard's Rush, Hugh Jackman yelling in Prisoners, and, last but not least, Luc Besson's The Family. Maybe not that last one so much, but the other two weren't a shabby way to kick things off. This month has two movies in particular that should blow socks off while also causing a few tears to flow in the process. They're the obvious suspects, but they both pack awfully heavy punches. There's also a little talked about science-fiction-ish movie you may want to check out this weekend as well… But there's more than three movies to see this month. So, without further ado, here are the ten must-see movies of October 2013:
Poster Art: Stare Up Clooney's Nose For 'Gravity,' Go Fishing with Redford and Walking with 'Walter Mitty'
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on August 30, 2013 | Be the First To CommentGravity, All is Lost and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty are all getting fall releases and all jockeying for some of that sweet, sweet Oscar goodness, so it's only natural that we let the posters for all three films do the same. Of the three Gravity is the frontrunner here by far. George Clooney's nose is a thing of beauty, sure. But the other two are fairly cut-and-paste: start with the lead actor, then insert him into the film's setting (whether that setting is the open sea or Ben Stiller's limitless imagination).
'All is Lost' Trailer Looks to Tantalize Audiences by Near-Drowning Robert Redford
Movie News By Nathan Adams on August 1, 2013 | Comments (2)The success of last year's Life of Pi and the continued prevalence of people making "Wilson" jokes any time a volley ball happens to be lying around proves that movie audiences have an affection for a good lost at sea story. With this in mind, director J.C. Chandor has decided to follow up his head-turning debut feature, Margin Call, with a sinking ship survival tale starring screen legend Robert Redford. The film is called All is Lost, it sounds like it's a pretty harrowing tale of sharks, storms, and sun exposure, and it has now released a trailer so that we can all get a glimpse at what exactly Chandor made Redford go through while they were out there filming.
Robert Redford May Discover 'All Is Lost' With J.C. Chandor's Next Feature
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on December 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentPerhaps one of the biggest surprises of this year's awards circuit is just how many awards and nominations filmmaker J.C. Chandor has picked for his debut film, Margin Call. Chandor's star-packed film debuted at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and while that festival also featured a notable debut from Sean Durkin with his Martha Marcy May Marlene, one that seemed much more poised to rack up the awards, it has been Chandor and his tale of the Wall St. financial crisis that has earned some big accolades. Chandor has already picked up Best Debut Director from the National Board of Review, Best First Film from the New York Film Critics Circle, and Best Original Screenplay from the San Francisco Film Critics Circle, along with nominations from the Boston Society of Film Critics and the Film Independent Spirit Awards, and that's likely only the beginning for Chandor and his Margin Call. So with so much promise and so much praise, it's high time that Chandor unveiled his next project, one that apparently owes its own type of debt to Sundance. Chandor's next is titled All Is Lost, and the filmmaker is looking to cast Robert Redford as its lead. Let's hope that works out, as Chandor reportedly Chandor met Sundance founder Redford "at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, and was so taken by him that he wrote the movie around him."
