@Simon Not particularly sure about django but there is usually a .format() option that allows you to specify the format you want on most date types.
@deed02392 @Simon str() calls the __str__() function on each object. You can override this method to return whatever you want for your own classes.
In Python 2, there wasn't a clear distinction between binary strings and unicode strings, Python 3 made that distinction clear. str in Python 2 is essentially bytes in Python 3.
@Adnan I must be getting old - I'm trying to see how those look like happy and sad pics. I sort of see the sad one, but the bit on the left doesn't look happy, or even like a face to me, no matter how much I squinch up my face
especially considering my whole talk was about challenging "conventional wisdom"
so, outlook users, tell me. Is there really any reason I am still using PSTs for archives?
I feel like with the current amount of storage from email providers, I should just go back to leaving it online, and have however many dozens of folders there.
@AviD yeah no real reason apart from not leaving all your historical data in a online archive with the risks that carries. As against that things a super easy to search etc using online for all data..
@AviD to an extent I'm sure you're right (depending on the service and person that wants the data) but with some definitely (e.g. dropbox) after it's deleted in the UI it only lasts a finite amount of time on their systems (presumably due to disk space requirements...)
@AviD well they don't have infinite disk space, there's no way they're doing traditional backups of the volume they have. Not sure what legal requirements there are to store it. Court orders well yeah if they have it and are ordered to retain it they will, if it's already gone they can't :)
@AviD true but seriously in practice there must be a limit on retention for people like Dropbox, they have petabytes of stuff and retaining everything that users have deleted indefinitely seems improbable
For work accounts I certainly wouldn't move to local storage, at most I'd copy so they're available offline. I'd prevent deletion by the end user (or implement it as soft delete). There are legal requirements for when emails must be retained and when they must be deleted.
For personal emails moving is a consideration, since data in transit often has stronger legal protections than data at rest. If somebody wants to obtain my old emails, they'll need to come to me instead of simply subpoenaing my mail hoster.
Backing them up is pretty important as well. For work emails the server admin should take care of that. But for personal emails I want a backup I control myself. Else somebody could hack my email account and delete all emails.
I'm doing alot of exploit research right now, and i wanna know if there is any way in immunity debugger or windbg that can help me quickly identify the ret instruction that cause EIP overwrite instead of spending 5 or 10 minutes trying to figure out which ret cause the overwrite
@DavidFreitag it was a post-apocalyptic themed night, and the guy running it is an editor for an Airsoft magazine - he runs a Fallout version of Airsoft. There were amazing costumes

@RoryAlsop "problem"?
To a lot of people calling vi in a single terminal environment has this effect, no escape from it unless you reboot :) Just a joke here. — orionMay 28 at 20:41
@Simon So tempted to say, "If you don't shred the cable, you should let it hang for at least two days to drain out any residual data. Running a blow dryer at one end will help speed up this process."
I am using Retina via BeyondInsight 5.2.0.410 to scan my network.
Occasionally, I get the error message "You do not have the required permissions to scan the entered range" which doesn't make sense because within BeyondInsight my account has every permission.
Any pointers on where to look?
So, it just struck me to ask the Internet "What is a Pooh?". Someone phrased the question as "Is there such thing or did Milne make it up?". Best response: "I don't know, but how did Roald Dahl get away with "Willy Wonka"?"
You ever call someone at another site whom you've never met, and always thought was a bottom-of-the-totem-pole front-line type tech, but then you get their voicemail and the greeting is recorded by some gal you've never heard and you wonder, "Who is this guy, really?".

Just to make sure, is there is a reason for shredding any type of data cables?
Is it OK to throw them away just as they are?
Thanks.

My client thinks his mobile phone is been located. Can this be done? How is it achieved? How can it be defeated?
