@Kisunminttu Having something send over from the US isn't much better. My ex-girlfriend once bought me an xkcd t-shirt for christmas, It arrived barely on time for my birthday (end of march).
@Kisunminttu I tend to get my present horribly late. My sister got me my birthday present for this year in august, granted, she was half a world away the whole time, and when she came back her luggage took a month extra to be send from Paris to Belgium because it got lost at the airport.
So... if I know that you don't know the things you've told people you don't know, does that mean you don't know the things you've told people you don't know?
@kalina Most people don't need someone like that. Especially if said player isn't even close to worldtop in any game genre, nor really interested in competitive gaming.
I am writing a novel in which a researcher attempts to work against a study he is a part of by purposely sabotaging operations on the research compound. I am wondering if the following is plausible.
"Bob" starts a small fire in the server farm containing the primary servers for data collection ...
@Gilles Well, it's asking for plot advice, which while it may have an InfoSec component, is not an InfoSec question. I supposed Too Broad might be just as (or perhaps more) applicable. But asking for scenarios that could cause damage to a data center is not a good Q&A candidate.
@Gilles Not really...It's asking specifically if an imaginary threat makes sense in the real world (it doesn't) and then more broadly asking the community to create an open-ended list of potential threats. In hind-sight, I guess it fits with some of the other "does this movie-plot device actually exist in the real world" questions we've had, so off-topic may indeed be wrong..It probably should have been too broad.
Leeway on date-based hats
Unless the requirement mentions a specific timezone, hats that are date-based are often awarded for 12 hours before and 13 hours after the specified date in UTC, to accomodate people everywhere in the world. This means you can earn such a hat even though for you it's no...
Site owner receives notification that his site is insecure because of POODLE vulnerability. Site owner disables HTTPS to resolve vulnerability. Security scanning company gives thumbs-up. /facepalm
VA I do these days a good percentage of the vulns are SSL related and the scanners don't generally rate unencrypted connections as that bad.... this is very stupid
Nowadays individuals are witnessing the task, when because of constant and overwhelming technical advance as well as internet, there appear additional services that help the excellence of the produced job, improve the speed from the working process and give the employees with far more flexibility...
@Noordung You're being incredibly rude about this, especially for a moderator. :( Well my first foray onto your particular Stack Exchange beta has certainly not been a pleasant experience... — Lightness Races in Orbit5 mins ago
@DavidFreitag She (he?) is missing the point ... that isn't an answer however you might wanna look at it. E.g. OP didn't suggest in the question how we might achieve that, merely why didn't we. I don't really think other answers there are much better but at least they're not merely opinions. For example, we've just discovered methane in Martian atmosphere (hours ago), but we'll still send a biodome experiment there. Measures will be taken to assure no forward-contamination takes place. Ad nauseam
Needless to say, we already forward-contaminated the Moon. There's just nothing there to be bothered by it. Again, OP doesn't even suggest where we should send samples ...
@DavidFreitag We get a lot of well established SO members that haven't a clue what constitutes a helpful answer on SE sites that might be a bit more contextual (for lack of a better word). Often, they expect royal treatment and can't get over it if they don't get it. Frankly, I couldn't give a toss about his/her C++ skills in a question that doesn't require any.
@DavidFreitag I also don't really get it why some think that moderation is a popularity contest. It's actually quite the opposite. If you're not in a dispute with a mod then you're doing OK. Otherwise, you're not doing OK. Courtesy is optional and mods are pretty much the last ones on some site to have the time for it, if they're doing their job.
@Noordung Courtesy is not optional, especially for mods. As a mod, you're supposed to remain courteous even when the other person isn't, up to and including while suspending them.
