@Griffin No it wasn't. The guy they had apprehended was panicking, which aggravated the dog further. Like I said before, have you ever had a dog that size gearing up to pounce on you? You do not want that to happen, trust me.
@ScottPack What exactly happened to Paros anyway? Two years ago it worked fine for me. The same copy doesn't work anymore. Don't tell me the Java update broke it :S
Heh. Suspended user on Music responded with "N***A WUT I DO FORREAL BRUH I AINT DOIN NOTHIN WHY U SUSPEND ME DAWG SERSLY GIMME A REASON BRUH" - like that will help...
@LucasKauffman trusted another driver's judgement that turned out to be wrong.
approaching a roundabout, there was already 1 car waiting, he started to move, so I accelerated to join the roundabout at the same time as him. He slammed on his breaks as there was a car coming, by which time I had already committed, and just had to floor it and swerve across 2 lanes to remain infront of the oncoming car...intense moment, possibly the 2nd most dangerous driving moment for me.
@RoryAlsop the #1 involves an attempted bus lane overtake on my part. one in which i hit about 50mph before realising there was a bus in the bus lane...coming to a stop at a bus stop. and I had to accelerate to get into a gap that was closing. In the end I passed the bus at around 70 with less than 1ft of space on either side of my car.
essentially I screwed up, and then committed. my usual pattern of near-miss
Fun on a track. Not so much on the open road with no helmet or roll cage
Still think my most exciting was a front left blowout at 120mph. Luckily on a track with a fair amount of runoff, but it makes you think about what would happen in such an event on the open road
@ManishEarth That would be my best guess. 2 years ago we were running 1.6 for everything. These days everyone not negligent will be running 1.7. I wouldn't be surprised at all if that broke it.
@LucasKauffman I have some wild cherries in the fridge, I think I'll try that ... not sure what sweetener to use tho, they're a bit on the bitter side but really tasty otherwise

Boot Linux from USB1, go online, then remove USB1 to prevent data getting written during the session. I want to backup changes made to Firefox .json file to a USB2 then restore it for Firefox future use.
How can this be done without risk of contamination?
@LucasKauffman Done... wild cherry / apple / strained yogurt / lemon mint smoothie with a touch of Stevia. It went down nice, and saved one for later :)
@LucasKauffman hehe yes it's difficult but I ate nearly half of a huge (9kg) watermelon yesterday throughout the day and I don't think it's safe if I continue on my fruit diet for too long :)
@LucasKauffman just a coincidence, but it's the season for a lot of my fav fruits now, and I just can't resist
@LucasKauffman tho yes I know of a melon diet... you can eat almost all you want in normal quantities and then have a piece of a melon after each meal to fill you up. It allegedly works quite fast.
but my belly looks like a melon now because of all the fruits I had :)
@LucasKauffman Oh if you want wonders then I can suggest you try that tomatoes and celery soup diet (I could find a recipe, if you'll insist) that you can eat all you want but just that... you'll lose weight really fast, but will also leave you exceptionally weak. I prefer diets that still give me required energy but force the body to store less (which is why with most starvation diets you first start gaining weight, because the body tries to store as much as possible, adjusting to starvation)
actually, it's tomatoes and cabbage but I remember it having celery in it too
@Xander I've always wondered if there's enough of quinine in the tonic to prevent you contracting malaria, or it's just for the bitter taste and not nearly enough of it?
@TildalWave Not nearly enough, by a couple of orders of magnitude. Allegedly it was derived from the medicinal use of Quinine, but tonic water itself won't do anything for you.
Nice try, sport, but no dice. Tonic water contains less than 20 milligrams of quinine per six fluid ounces. The recommended quinine dosage for treatment of malaria is two or three 200-350 milligram tablets three times a day. If you drink the equivalent of that in gin and tonics, malaria will be the least of your problems.
Tonic water was never intended as a cure or preventive for malaria, but malaria is the reason the quinine is in there. Quinine has a bitter taste. To make the stuff palatable when used as an antidote for fevers, legend has it, British colonials in India mixed quinine with…
@ton.yeung There's some well known food items that will burn fat quite effectively, or let you remove excess water from your body (diuretics), but won't inhibit intake of much anything... I'm not a nutritionist, but pineapple and coffee come to mind (not sure that's a recommended diet tho LOL). Guarana also,...
basically, you'd be after foods that will accelerate your metabolism, not try to stop it
@LucasKauffman yes it's also an effective laxative sadly, but just eating pineapple as is will work too, granted less so
and pineapple juice is also used in kitchen to prepare tougher meats as it helps melt fats away... it makes tougher stakes nicely tender then, same goes for coffee but that gives the BBQ aftertaste to it
oh and that tablespoon of olive oil in the morning before any meal as @Adnan was talking about a few days before is a good way to "prepare" your metabolism and also protects from excess stomach acids nicely... and it's a good source of anti-oxidants too. It's an ancient Mediterranean way :)
@ton.yeung don't know of any shortcuts if you wanna reply directly to some previous message (short of knowing it's ID of course, but that's a long shot), but if you want to reply to a person (not message) then you just type @ and first letter of the username and use tab to stop at the intended recipient
@Xander You probably mean refined sugars? Because I'm not so sure that's true for fructose contained in most fruits, because the pectin should pump-up your stomach way before intake of fructose would be a problem with most fruits that I know of.
@Xander I'm half an hour into it now and one thing strikes me about it - there's nothing in it (so far) that is not a common knowledge for my generation and in these parts of the woods. I could probably bet my wages the younger generations don't know anything about it tho, and I don't doubt it's not as well know in the US either
I remember even from primary school we had those nutrition charts in every biology class and they all clearly had a certain percentage of fats there, and warning about sugars more than fats themselves
@TildalWave Yeah, that's not the case in the U.S. at all. There's been a war on fat here for the last few decades, and nobody says much of anything about sugar other than that you obviously shouldn't make it a dietary staple, though indirectly that's what many Americans do.
@Adnan I'm actually conserving my stash of last year's supplies as it's running rather low and I don't really like the bought ones no matter what they say on them it's just not the same, but yeah I like a sip of it every now and then too and I could swear it makes you feel better in an instant, tho that could as well be the placebo effect on me :)
@Adnan another oil that I love and we're particularly good at making excellent ones is pumpkin seed oil... homemade press one, not distilled at all - a few drops on a family size salad, that's all you need of it, but it tastes yummy
@RoryMcCune Thanks, was looking at it earlier. Can't believe how much of the process has already been done just by installing the gem and setting it up.
@Adnan Oh it's one of the essentials for me as far as salad dressings go, right there with the balsamic vinegar. You have to get some, trust me you won't regret it ;)
@TerryChia yeah stuff like that where's it's happy path is really nice, if you want a basic admin interface for CRUD operations you can use ActiveAdmin and it does 90% of what you want out of the box....
@RoryMcCune I must say my first impression of Ruby is pretty good. I still prefer python's syntax but I can't believe how easy it is to get basic stuff up and running on Rails.
@Xander Finished watching it. You're right, it is a good presentation. First half an hour can probably be skipped by non-Americans, but the rest is then educational and well explained. :)
@Adnan Yes. Every time I fly my options are to be subjected to a dose of radiation that nobody is allowed to quantify, or have somebody drag their hands over my entire body.

"The DHS, which secures the nation’s border, in 2009 announced that it would conduct a “Civil Liberties Impact Assessment” of its suspicionless search-and-seizure policy pertaining to electronic devices "
lol
the government contends the Fourth-Amendment-Free Zone stretches 100 miles inland from the nation’s actual border.
@BadgerGirl Remember that that actual risk of seizure is next to none. Just because they've decided that they can, doesn't mean that the often do. If you're not already on a list somewhere, and you don't give them reason to be suspicious, it'll be fine.
@JeffFerland It seems that most full-body scanners in use in the USA are of the millimeter wave persuasion, not the X-ray kind; they ought to have no impact on health.
Then you go through the metal detector instead, and wait for the groper to do a half-hearted job of pretending to make sure that you aren't carrying anything that somebody might find scary.
@Adnan That's possible, due to the the likelihood of drugs. I don't know though. I'd think that would be a secondary customs search, rather than a security/TSA thing though.
I have an image file that I am going to uploaded in a server, I am planning to protect the file in the following way:
Apply an algorithm to generate MAC to the file then, Encrypt the MAC value, Lastly hide it with steganography method. Which means three different level of protection?
Any commen...
@Simon Actually that's 200 rep from upvotes; the +15 for accepted answers and the bounties do not count towards the count. So you can get more than 200 in a day.

@ThomasPornin I'm trying to solve a key distribution problem. Thinking of each SSL termination point having an HSM that needs an initialization key to activate and will provide sufficient throughput for terminating the public key encryption portion
@Gilles Yeah I know but they really do delete your account if you are inactive for 30 days. If they gave you a link in the e-mail, check the source in case.

With all three of your questions in mind, I have to ask - Are you organizing a particularly bad CTF competition? Because that's pretty much the only good use for bad crypto that I can think of. All other uses of bad crypto will only end up in you being the laughing stock. — TildalWave32 secs ago
Because if I start using something that does a lot for me (e.g. Symfony2) and then get a job where I can't use a framework for some reason, I'm not gonna be happy.
Of course it depends how much Rails does stuff for you. I know that Symfony2 can generate your classes, db, etc.
