@bwDraco it's Charlottesville

not charolettesville

@bwDraco I don't disagree (similar political views :)) but I'd be careful; someone flagged a message of mine that was of a particular political bent a few months ago and I got temporarily suspended from chat... if that person or someone like them is lurking in chat, that wouldn't be good... Just be careful is all

brb

@allquixotic principal would expel me instead for not actually hacking it

India, folks

@rahuldottech Seriously?

How far up the chain do you have to go to get exonerated of any wrongdoing for refusing to hack something? Modi?

@BenN I won't

How deep does the cultural dissonance run that there's this expectation that hacking (and other morally dubious behaviors I've witnessed elsewhere) are perfectly acceptable if someone higher up tells you to do it?

@allquixotic our school is very messed up

Spelling corrected.

@rahuldottech Evidently o_O

@allquixotic @BenN

Now they're asking me to just find out who the owner is

How the hell do I do that without hacking

If you can do that without breaking the law, do your best

I mean, social engineering I guess

@BenN yeah

Not too sure why I kept getting this wrong.

I would be disinclined to do any direct social engineering; that quickly gets into lying

I'd stick with detective work

honestly impeaching isnt' going to get anywhere

it's pence down the line

Pence is even scarier

@allquixotic Thanks for the advice.

one is "uninformed and/or misinformed, doing the bad because of that"

other is "informed, but still doing the bad"

I've long been outspoken against Trump.

Alright lets stop talking about politics I'm getting pretty depressed

mood-wise

At least Pence isn't the Caligula Trump is.

Anyhow, AFK for a bit.

It got really quiet all of a sudden

it's because I'm a cat, isn't it

you speciesists

nah, we love you for being a cat.

@allquixotic I won't put up with Nazi's, simply because someone disagrees with me

@bwDraco I kind of get the feeling he has no clue

the same way bush had no clue

'Read this, it'll make them go away'

/eyeroll

This is Root Access, not /r/politics

@varfirstName did you finally manage to POST to the image?

@allquixotic SE. Remember, we overthrew their goverment.

@varfirstName why, can you not get banned there for having an opinion?

no rahul

no @rahuldottech

@varfirstName use CURL man

in what way

Hint: see top all time question on Super User

how do I pass in the cookie tho

the php cookie

@varfirstName Look it up

"Cookies with CURL"

in the header, right?

oh...

huh

finally >.>

Stage 4

An Application Pool?

wait.

Is this anything to do with xkcd?

#RelevantXKCD to the rescue @rahuldottech

^^^ LOL!

@varfirstName lololol

but how do I send a wrench in the mail?

OMG MY COUNTRY IS SO STUPID firstpost.com/india/…

Yeah, ban taxi drivers from picking up drunk passengers, bloody genius.

goddamn retards

@varfirstName Lol, I haven't completed that part of the challenge yet

So congratulations, you completed the challenge!

lol, feeling unsatisfied? Wait for a couple of hours, I'll have more ready for you by then

Got a Windows PC, right?

yea

@varfirstName coo

hehe, btw rahuldottech you totally need to make a cert generator

OH GOD I spelt the site wrong

@NotAdminDave What site is that from?

ROFLMAO

Lol, will do

@NotAdminDave hackchal.cf*

@rahuldottech: it was from certificatemagic.com

lol

d:-)

@NotAdminDave omfg i tholught it was legit.

:O

> articles about [topic] attracted on the order of ten times as many eyeballs as other [articles].

Does that mean it attracts 5x more traffic?

yes

@ThatREDACTEDGuy It's more than 5x. Don't forget the people who have only one eye ...

@DavidPostill BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO HAVE 3? TEEHEE.

@NotAdminDave I hereby certificate @NotAdminDave in his proficiency in certificating certificates.

@ThatREDACTEDGuy he fucked it up tho

it's hackchal.cf, not hack.cf

@DavidPostill Oh, so it just means [topic] is quite popular with the Old Ones

omfg

3 betrayals...

@djsmiley2k ?

GoT

Just had a thought

but.... i dare not speak it out loud for spoilers may occur

@djsmiley2k Ah. Yes. Shut up. I'm 3 series behind :)

pcgamer.com/…

lol

Winner's a winner, but the fact that this the game mechanics allow this is not okay.

I don't normally follow eSports, but if it's to go mainstream like traditional sports, game devs need to spend time making sure their games are properly balanced.

> Players have been complaining about this exploit for a month, but recent patch notes addressing the exploit only say that Ubisoft is working to "remove this unintended behavior."

WTF.

;p;

tho 10k isn't much at all in 'big' gaming

i was in a comp, and the guy who beat me got $1.5mil

that was ~10 years ago when esports was just taking off

I mean, take Rocket League. It's pick up and play and lacks the sorts of issues games like For Honor have.

yup

hmm

'like for honor'

you know of another game with a glitch that's so game breaking, yet has people winning 'large' amounts of money on it?

Also, I see a lot of promise in eSports at the college level. Collegiate leagues need more attention.

Most glitches like that, in most games, get fixed pretty sharpish, especially if they want any kind of esport following

that's part of the reason it's got any kind of news too, I guess ;D

Not any I know of, but I think there have been a few in the past. Some problems are unavoidable when a new game is released, it's a matter of how well the devs support it.

I think SMITE had issues in the first season, but again, I don't really follow eSports.

i wouldn't call SMITE big....

i don't even know what kinda game it is XD

TPS MOBA

and, any comp that doesn't have a rule against 'Glitches and Exploits' is stupid.

Then again, that was a few years ago. eSports is on the cusp on going mainstream and these sorts of issues are not acceptable today.

In the UK it's illegal to serve alcohol to someone who is drunk ;)

Nah, it's no where near going mainstream

I'm not sure it ever will tbh

@djsmiley2k That doesn't stop them puking all over the taxi on their way home ... :/

year of the linux desktop!

@DavidPostill lol

my point is what the law says, and what actually happens, can be far far different

@djsmiley2k Same here in NY. You cannot serve alcohol to anyone "visibly intoxicated".

@bwDraco @djsmiley2k All of these laws are stupid without some means of alcohol breath testing ... otherwise it is down to definition (visibly drunk - what does that mean?) and someone's judgement.

lol at 50 SIGNS OF VISIBLE INTOXICATION. Most people here would fail many of these - drunk or not :)

* Disheveled clothing...

@DavidPostill well then we can't licence any publicans, because that's part of their job

* Unable to sit straight

* Argumentative

* Depressed or sullen

* Lighting more than one cigarette

LOL

* Lack of focus and eye contact

* Crying or moody

"I'm sorry Maddy, I know you're pregnant, but I'm going to have to report you for seeming visibly intoxicated"

* Unusually fast or slow talking

this is 99.9% bullshit

0.01% not bullshit part right there ^

@varfirstName Hmm. Where can I buy chemical free aftershave and deodorant?

#WaterIsChemicals

@varfirstName Water is odourless

fine, Sulfur Hexafluoride

> Serving alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person (VIP) is against the law.

well

I know the way to be a VIP now

chugs wine bottles

Wine? Really?

That's your alcohol of choice?

raki?

look I'm a tiny person

oh yea tru

I can get high from like 2 mid sized glasses of wine

or like 3 glasses of raki

In the Somewhat Concerning department, these headphones I'm considering buying are "frequently bought together" with Elmer's glue

@BenN never hear anyone else ever again?

At least that would stop you sticking the pencils in your ear ;)

Just bought them, let's hope I won't need the glue :)

In other news, today I found out why one of my GitHub repos suddenly had a bunch of stars

:)

roar

Went out shopping a bit, got a cheap USB 2.0 hub.

@DavidPostill I closed this superuser.com/questions/1240894/… - its a terrible question, has a clear lack of research, and is more about terminology than anything else...

NAND is technically EEPROM.

It's not byte-addressible.

3D XPoint is, though.

Some thoughts on the Radeon Packs: They seem nice to me, but the monitor is not for me :(

I'd get two games and a discount on two pieces of the Astaroth build (C6E mobo, Ryzen 7 processor), though.

In any case, I'm going to pick GeForce.

Your thoughts on Vega and the Radeon Packs?

reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/6tminx/…

Yeah. Just as I thought. Untapped potential.

But it's too little, too late.

morn

Hi!
