I personally thought your answer had more value in it than mine, which was quite a glib summary (I was busy and harassed so didn't put a huge amount into it)

Q: What is the boat programming meme about?

I remember some time ago there was some huge problem regarding some question that had something to do with a boat, and I think I missed that topic completely. As I see it being mentioned every now and then, I'd just like to know what it was about.

I mean, normally I would think, "What are the chances?" but I imagine that name is the northern equivalent to John Smith.

@Iszi In my mind it's less about apathy, and more about respect.

@Iszi notice in the photo that the number of twists is different for each one. Harmonic interference is a bitch.

Sure, @Iszi may be the 3rd on that ranking, but I wonder what his rep/character count is :)

@VineetReynolds That's great to protect the data in transit. But your browser cache still belongs to the company.

@ScottPack This morning I learned that some people worried about directionality of plugs and kosherness of giraffes. I am close to surrealness overflow.

@RoryAlsop it shouldn't be a dichotomy at all. The bounds to your system's requirements are "must be accessible to the customers", and you can do whatever you want within those bounds.

Q: Paddington Bear Choppertar

Many of our top users seem to have avatars with a picture of themselves in a car with what appears to me to be Paddington Bear: So what is the story behind this?

discussion fun

@Mvy @RoryAlsop Tip: there's markup for SE site names now, in chat and in comments: [so] = Stack Overflow, [security.se] = IT Security, [metaso] = Meta Stack Overflow, etc.

@TheEvilPhoenix Maybe I should create some sock puppets to down-vote you into oblivion so you lose those rights. ;-)

Looks like @Gilles, @Ninefingers, @Iszi, @ScottPack chat very valuable last night

@Gilles In my world, the people protecting physical access to "the warehouse" are an entirely separate organization (different company for that matter) than the people protecting the datacenter.

Gilles

Aug 4, 2011 00:55

@ScottPack Ok, you don't, but surely surveillance of a datacenter is already on-topic here. So why not accept surveillance of other kinds of buildings?

AviD

The nyerd predilection for black t-shirts always confuses me. Do those people not realize how easily dandruff shows on black?

@nealmcb Why would it be? If it's good enough for Bruce Schneier, it's good enough for Security.SE
