This is completely off-topic. My original intent was to say that this is by far a more fun chat room than the chat rooms in Quant Fin, (the now deceased) Econ and even EL&U.

Then I did a word search with chat DMZ for an old comment. Didn't find it, but did find this, results returned were very enjoyable chat.stackexchange.com/search?q=stupid&room=151 Best as his, without changing sort order. I lol'd. A lot. I like it here!
The other thing I noticed is how you look at previous questions, user names, overall snarky or belligerent or poor quality content when evaluating questions and users. I try to do that with other SE sites, because it is how I think too, but haven't found a lot of similar thinkers. They think I am creepy, I am guessing, to do that.
The same users who ask whether eating gentile men is Kosher on Jewish SE will appear on English SE asking questions about the English language equivalent of old fashioned Moscow toilet arrangements, that sort of thing. Or if "Dago" is pejorative or okay. Or how to pronounce "^".
@AviD I really wanted to bring that up as an issue on The Atheist Rabbi's website, when he wrote an anti-circumcision diatribe but was afraid I'd be banned. I wanted to tell him that Jewish and Muslim men were more appetizing. That would not have gone over well.
I should just gracefully exit now. I have roamed too far afield.... Thank you for your hospitality, and if I find any choice questions for the competition, I will reply to the meta question as instructed.
Part of it is teaching proper/expected behavior in various situations ("This is not the playground, it's a flying death tube, look at how everyone else is sitting; that's how you should be sitting.")
Part of it is knowing that kids are "works in progress" and therefore will inevitably be annoyin...
my assumption was always - hitting the ground at >300mph = death. Any survivors at all surprises me. Although my dad did once crash a Buccaneer into the sea and managed to survive - he was a bit slower than that as he was on final approach to a carrier, and there was a failure to arrest on deck, but didn't manage to eject :-)
hahahahaha - he hasn't ever said what he really said at that point. My guess is something unrepeatable, as Buccaneers were notorious for going down really quickly when ditched, so most didn't get out in time.
the tower did take a series of 5 (I think) photos as standard showing just how it all went wrong :-)
What is the difference between attack-prevention, defense and threat-mitigation? Should they be merged? I'm not sure that difference outlined by @AviD worth having separate tags
mitigation has to be kept separate from attack-prevention - it is formally used as part of business risk reduction anyway. Prevention is an absolute (or tries to be) whereas mitigation is the use of techniques to reduce the risk to a level acceptable to the business
eg through logging, audit, risk transference, etc etc etc
I think that the main purpose of tags is following them. I think there is no much difference between following one of them as a man that knows one thing is likely to know the other too.
It drives me insane. It puts me off bringing my gf to the cons, because she's either gonna get hit on by some douchebag, or assume that I go to the cons for the booth babes and misogynist atmosphere.
or both.
I honestly can't understand the mentality of people that assume sexual harassment and even sexual assault is OK in any context, let alone using a security conference as an excuse.
ah yeah, I've forgotten her name. the really uncaring one.
I love it on the Steak Night episode, with the old black guy dying of ischemic bowel, and they come back instead of going to the restaurant and find her in there with him, and the dude just says "I think I just met the devil!"
that was a sad episode. least the poor bloke got his beer though.
my absolute favourite actor of all time has to be Michael Caine.
he's been in so many great movies, and hasn't disappointed in a single one.
his performance in the new Batman movie was phenomenal.
oh, and if you've not seen Harry Brown, I highly recommend it. mixes a scarily realistic depiction of chav gang culture in London with him being and old frail man who loses pretty much everyone in his life.
possibly. I think there's an actual homepage for mplayerc, but it was some 1990s HTML4 monstrosity with animated gifs, so it might have been migrated to SF
I only looked into MKV because of having a ridiculously large library of cartoons and anime, and MKV is awesome at encoding flat-colour blocks and smooth gradients, in terms of quality and space.
a single Family Guy episode can be ~65MB for 720p, and it scales almost seamlessly into 1080p resolution.
