IRC is the best. It is easy to run and use. mIRC forever yo (specifically version 6.17) Slack is terrible. They are one of those arrogant silicon valley companies. They advertise being able to connect anyone anywhere, yet require on-site work in SF. Every feature of the product is done better by som...

Happy to chime in on this one since I've never seen it either!

So don't go spreading spoilers around this thread

Funny thing is that everyone who knows me thinks I've seen them and am a big fan. Haven't read all the LOTR yet either and people think I'm an expert at that too.

Red Delicious don't really taste like anything? Very little flavor.

Non-alcoholic cider is the best though.

Laser jet printer eh?

I, deskjethp, have no bias about this kind of thing whatsoever.

Seriously, though. We should replace lawnmowers with laser grass cutters.

If both inputs end in 1, then the output ends in 1. I have stated this in 4). However, beyond only the rightmost digit, I haven't yet been able to determine a pattern.

Am I missing something obvious?

Rule the fifth declaration: This is not homework, but probably looks like it. It's just an interesting thing I ran across the other day on a coding website. So I found this decryption challenge where an obfuscated encryption algorithm is provided and the challenge is to code up a decryption program....

Typical HP printers. They aren't to be trusted.

Wood. They can shade, they last longer, they don't have the tiny piece problem, they smell nice, they're cheap, they come in 6-sided varieties.

I only waited about 30 seconds. I figure maybe if you load it at midnight or noon or 1:37 P.M. or something it might be different. It's more likely it's just a static image.

So today I started this summer "class" (ugh..) about setting up secure Linux environments for servers and networks and stuff (ugh..boring!).. We were supposed to start up some VMs and then make sure they were connected to the web. Half an hour later, the professor and the people who actual...

5 pieces of wheat bread + 4 slices of American cheese + microwave = hot cheese sandwich. Normally this is okay, but this was too much. I went out to the grocery store at 23:00 to get the stuff for this project right after I finished at work. Actually, this is the second time I've done this. The firs...

In communications class last year, we watched a video studying this very thing. The space was limited to Manhattan though. It was some news show... They got 6 groups of 2 people together and said to the groups that they should find each other. None of them knew anything about any of the other groups...

At my grocery store, everything is shoved into the cart at the end of the checkout line. You can go to the "bagging tables" where they have probably about 50000 paper bags under the tables and some plastic bag dispensers on top. None of this bag at the register business.

TIL that the projectors at the university have motion detectors in them so that if you cause them to move, "public safety" people charge into the room demanding to know who is trying to steal the projector. Ghost World... I saw that on television one night. I didn't get it. I thought the p...

I was pressured into doing something. If I was pressurized into doing something that something would probably be fitting through a small hole or something. Pressurized makes sense to me, though that is probably because I've always used it... So anyway, I love to wander around and go places that I th...

Yeah that's so true right now... what with interest rates being .00xxx% in banks around town .. A lot of ATMs in the US charge some ridiculous pointless fee like $3.00 for a Bank of America ATM usage under certain circumstances. $3.00 would buy me a good meal. There's a ton of free ATMs though too. ...

I carry stuff around in my socks. IDs usually. My phone goes in the pocket if I have it, but only because a) it doesn't fit in my sock and b) it can clip in to the pocket. Pockets are terribly not useful for securely holding stuff if you take the routes I take. Socks can usually keep things in even ...
