Guys, I'm participating in a cryptic hunt, and we've been told to crack this:
Any help?
> You're coding in your office when you see a slip under your keyboard. It just has some strange binary stuff you don't recognise.
You don't know who sent it, but something tells me it has a deep message for us.

Boy oh boy, some changes were made to the gridengine cluster I'm working with and now apparently one of the two machines remains unused. Apparently everything requiring file i/o doesn't work there anymore because the kerberos token that is required for that isn't passed to that machine. Yikes

It was qwerty, typed on a dvorak layout

Someone just gave me like three laptops. All WiFi equipped, with 2/3/4 GB Ram, decent displays, and Pentium or AMD equivalent processors. What should I do with them?

Does anyone know this riddle:
> It used to be magic.
Now, it's just a forest
Hint: 404 hint not found
Also, in which language 3 + '3' = "33"?

@rahuldottech javascript?

@bertieb idk

→ 3 + '3'
← "33"
(presumably other languages too)

So... how many of you have a laptop or tablet with active stylus support?
I just got a Bamboo Ink stylus to go with Stolas.
(had to exchange the laptop due to a faulty speaker, new one is good; that's a different matter)

@bwDraco I have a Huion H420, but I haven't actually had a chance to use it yet.

Returning it for exchange made me feel really sad because I really liked the laptop.
But hey, the new one is good.
I hate returning products.
