@AviD I want a mancave.
heh, Microsoft actually use 0xDEADBEEF for padding in history.dat files
@AviD Can, and do you want to, squeal like a pig? If not, you're playing with fire. — Dan Neely 3 mins ago
@Polynomial I don't think my answer is better, haha.
hmm, the one case that username masking would help is for cached usernames
since the user could tell their name is correct, but a casual shoulder surfer wouldn't have it, so long as it was cached
@AJHenderson depends what the username is :P
if it's your SSN then you probably want to mask it
14:06
see my first subpoint
I specifically said that using something as a username that should be secret is counter to best practice
yeah. but sometimes it's just not that simple. govm't systems tend to have existed for decades.
oh I realize that it is unavoidable sometimes
doesn't make it best practice though, just a neccessary evil
wasn't picking on you specifically btw
yeah, I know
was just that I read yours first
14:07
Now, he's gonna pick on me.
I've seen you point that out on a few other cases. It certainly doesn't hurt to highlight it
since it is all too common a best practice that isn't/can't be followed
@Polynomial What? You can't read 17 answers simultaneously? Noob.
noob
@TerryChia I can and do. They're just on different questions.
;)
heh, I love that "Giggity" on Wikipedia is a redirect to "Glenn Quagmire"
I have been waiting 6 months for this flash drive and it's still not available yet, dammit! corsair.com/en/usb-drive/flash-voyager-gt-turbo/…
14:13
damn, poly types faster than me
or I was too busy adding my IRS example
;)
@AJHenderson I once spread a rumour around that I have 11 fingers.
a fair few people believed me.
I don't, I secretly know you have 12
and you learned to type with your feet
I find it hard to believe an 11th finger would help.
14:16
@Simon I do know someone that has 11 fingers, and she has found it useful for certain things.
she huh?
@AJHenderson Haha
and now I'm acutely aware that that sounds really creepy.
I'd like examples please.
she was born really late (post-mature) and ended up having an extra little finger grow on the side of her right hand
typing and sewing maninly
14:17
my cat has like 5 extra fingers
@AJHenderson that's a spider.
well, it's between 1 and 2 per paw
@AJHenderson spider.
it's apparently reasonably common for cats
they can have up to 27 toes
it's apparently reasonably common for spiders
they can have up to 8 legs
your cat is a spider.
14:19
@AJHenderson yup ... damn I was cleaning my keyboard, forgot I turned it off and was typing replies to you wondering why nothing is sent :)
nah, one toe short, only has up to 7 on a foot :(
@TildalWave your keyboard was on, SE just really doesn't like you
@Polynomial A cat has 4 paws, so does a dog. Therefore, a cat is a dog.
@Polynomial Spidercat, spidercat, does whatever a spidercat does.
@TildalWave I can't imagine why you would need to clean your keybo..ooohh. eww.
@Simon my other cat would agree with you on that
14:20
@AJHenderson i'm a persistent bugger :P
@Simon Unless it's my mother-in-law's dog. Then it's definitely a spider.
@Polynomial he was using his extra finger
@Polynomial neah, perv! not those kind of juices
he has 4 actual legs, but controls them as if he had 8.
@AJHenderson Cats > dogs :)
@Polynomial You like spiders a bit too much.
14:21
he is the most idiotic dog ever
@Simon he's a spiderman :)
he walks like a total retard... and tangles his legs up everywhere. so he looks like a spider.
@TildalWave A spiderman? There's more than one? Sick!
the fact that he's jet-black and has legs almost 1.5x as long as a normal Labrador doesn't help either.
That pretty much sums him up.
last time I knew what we're talking about was when AJ was talking of extra toes
14:23
source: Hyperbole and a Half (a very funny read)
@TildalWave that says a lot
I'm just not sure what it says
@Simon I grew up a dog person, but our apartment only allows cats, so we got two. They are great. The boy cat thinks he's a dog though. He always thinks with his stomach, always wants attention and roles over on his back to get his belly rubbed
he acts like a dog in pretty much every way other than the fact he knows how to use a litter box
@AJHenderson I own a Siamese, it's pretty much the same case excep that she jumps everywhere.
@AJHenderson Anyway wanted to tell you those are pretty common and mostly they'd be dead toes anyway... if the cat hurts herself there it might even stay barely attached sometimes and either you or the vet clips it off, nothing to it. Similar goes for dogs, too
@Simon I don't like Siamese cats... :/
their eyes creep me out.
I like Scottish Folds
but no problem if they stay where they are either ;) unless it annoys your cat
14:26
or just generic tabbies
@Polynomial I posted a pic yesterday, she's super cute.
Lemme see if I can find it.
@TildalWave yeah, it's a common genetic mutation, though most of hers seem to be usable
BONK!
@Simon eich. creepy eyes.
@AJHenderson more common for cats yup, I've also seen live ones (never went to clip off those, so I dunno if it's advised or not even)
14:28
@Polynomial Beautiful eyes <3
Friend of mine had a child with two extra thumbs
That worked
We tried to persuade her it was a gamer mod and she should keep them
Doctor said no
@AJHenderson Cute! I love black cats.
We're gonna go see a Bengal today
14:30
@AJHenderson heh sleeps like mine, legs up :) cute
Will probably end up buying it.
had to find the photos I'd posted a few weeks ago over in Photography chat
@RoryAlsop she had them removed?
I'd never remove them if I had them! It'd be epic.
"Remember kids - to the head, double tap - guns don't kill people; it's just rap."
Guns don't kill people, I kill people. With guns, POW.
Jon Lajoie, he's the best rapper.
Guns don't kill people, rappers do. From Bristol Zoo, to B&Q.
14:32
@poly you type too fast
guns don't kill people, my sense of humor does
@Simon I love the Regular Everyday Normal Guy / Crew ones
@Polynomial Oh yeah I think the crew ones are my favorite.
I just put Fuck Everything on :P
I DON'T GIVE A CHAINSAAAAAAAAAW
MC Fatigue, yeah that's me.
14:33
Will have to post up my cat pics... Sometime. When the damn thing holds still...
WHERE ARE MY HEADPHONES?
Oh yes, I forgot them at home.
My name's MC Knows Too Many Facts About Bees,
Fifty miles an hour is their average speed,
A queen can lay about 3000 eggs in a day,
Just because I know a lot about bees doesn't mean that I'm gay.
lololol
holy crapfuck it just started POUNDING down with rain
was totally sunny and dry a minute ago
glad it's raining though. it's been horribly humid recently.
@RoryAlsop clearly you need a faster camera :)
oh @RoryAlsop - btw, people need to post more questions over on AVP so I can close the 1000 remaining rep gap
or at least so I can hit 4k
14:39
@RoryAlsop hehe I have same problems ... and too many photos, have been searching for some now all this time
If you rarely get laid put yo hands up,
If you're not well paid put yo hands up,
If you got a pet put yo hands up,
If you got a bad back put yo hands up!
meow meow
@TildalWave that's a very white tabby
my sister and her husband have a tabby
@AJHenderson yup that's a bit old photo she's grown up now but ... too many damn photos!!
14:57
I'm waiting for Dr. Bearington to drop a response on this... security.stackexchange.com/questions/37797/…
@Polynomial The Bear got kidnapped by the NSA sadly.
His last answer was about half a month ago.
15:14
@Simon I have two snow bengals
they're nice
quite ... vocal
and one has caught 2 mice and 2 birds in the last day, thought he was going to slow down now he's 10
@RoryMcCune Damn, nice!
@RoryMcCune Cute :)
they liked their tank, it eventually fell to pieces
that's schrodi attacking his natural prey, the toilet paper!
15:32
@AJHenderson will see what i can do
@AJHenderson damn, you are catching me fast
15:45
@RoryMcCune god, ours is the same, no toilet paper is safe no matter where you put them... or paper towels
caught her stealing once.. climbed on top of fridge where I hid paper towels and was tearing off sheet by sheet, wasn't even a mess just a nice trophy collection :)
heh ours will go for anything scratchable really. we have new carpet at the moment so had the cunning plan of putting offcuts on top of the proper stuff so they can scratch that!
ok, this is definitely my new ring tone
literally impossible not to hear that from the other room
16:03
@RoryMcCune that trains them - to scratch :-)
turn it up loud for the bass
@RoryAlsop ahh they're well past the being trained stage I'm afraid :) we just go with it mostly ...
@RoryAlsop MINE TURTLE
I have that on my phone somewhere already :P
@RoryMcCune Haha, I'm so glad mine doesn't do that.
ahhhhhh - the catharsis of deletion of comments. Sometimes a little spring cleaning does you good. Especially if 99% of the comments had nothing constructive to add to the question/answer
@RoryAlsop You have 33.3k rep, 3 gold medals and 33 silver.
Are you obsessed by the number 3?
16:22
3 is a good number.
giggity.
3 g's
?!?
Rory has 33.3k rep, 3 gold medals, 33 silver medals.
3 is a good number in a relationship. Giggity.
"Giggity" has 3 Gs in it.
Half Life 3 confirmed.
Haha
16:39
@RoryAlsop yeah, well, since there is basically no other serious video guys and I also can answer some of the sound questions, I end up getting a stupidly large portion of the rep on AVP.
@RoryMcCune I'm actually amazed that Shadow has only attacked the toilet paper once or twice. They love to knock stuff in to their water dish though (aka the sink)
@Polynomial what is this "ring tone" you speak of, all my phone ever does is go "brrrr, brrrrr, brrrrr"
@Polynomial I prefer 4G to 3G though
17:10
woooo its my last day @ work!
 
1 hour later…
18:18
@AJHenderson ah yeah knocking things off is a favourite too. Generally as a means of getting attention or waking us up. Works too if a cat starts knocking your iPod on the floor...
18:43
I actually enjoy making Excel sheets. Does anyone know a cure for this?
@Simon Not me. I keep trying to turn Excel into a database.
Congratz on 9000
@Iszi How do you manage to do that?
@Simon I said "trying".
Very carefully.
18:46
@Iszi Haha.
There should be laws against some of the things I do in Excel. What's scary though is that I know some worse offenders.
@Iszi Don't tell me that they actually manage to turn it into a db?
@Simon They come damn close, at least.
Psshh just use access ;)
@Griffin Don't say that too loudly. Some around here will tell you that's not a database, either.
18:50
@Iszi That'll hurt its feelings :(
Oh god, Access. Please no.
@Simon YOU WILL USE IT OR ELSE!
@Griffin No matter what the else is, it's far better than using Access.
@Simon Wait what? Excel > Access ? Idk what you're trying to say is better than accesss >.<
18:54
@CodesInChaos It's ugly, glitchy and makes me wanna cry.
@Simon Funny. I heard the same about your mom. ;-)
@Griffin DB-wise? Any other DB software.
@Iszi My mom is glitchy?! I gotta release a patch ASAP.
@Simon okay I just didn't understand what you were comparing.
19:45
@AJHenderson yeah, I used to do okay on there - but your answers just blow mine away
@Simon Looks like I might end up on a panel to advise on security for PostgreSQL
@RoryMcCune surely:
and I just found out - of course Turisas is Finnish (as they have red painted faces):
@RoryAlsop so we're saying he must be a heavy metal ewok.... makes sense
@RoryAlsop Really? I have yet to use PostgreSQL but I might do it whenever I stop being lazy and re-setup my server.
@Simon it's got some pretty good features already (from a performance side it rocks) and architecturally they are trying to do the right things as regards security without sacrificing that performance
Guys, do you think a question related to managing securily licenses/cd keys be profitable for the community?
Like theoretically, would it be possible to bruteforce them? Etc.
@RoryAlsop Great, I definitely wanna look into it then!

Aww!

To clarify, spiders are not on-topic here. Ever
20:30
@RoryMcCune yeah, we don't let them sleep in our room because they would jump on our faces, but as soon as we open the door in the morning, they are sitting there waiting to get in
@RoryAlsop cats do seem to enjoy licking very random things. Shadow will lick the sides of holes we cut in a plastic box for her to play in
it's very odd
btw, the fact that we have a picture of a death metal band and a kitten licking a vacuum on the same page at the same time just goes to show how awesome this chat is

3 hours later…
23:26
@AJHenderson nah - they're fluffy battle metal :-)
