Who are these upstarts who come in here trying to get rid of the idea of feminism. Let me see . . . "Less certain is Hitchcock's legacy in the area of cheese-making in the Sudan."
It's virtually the same sentence, but without all that objectionable feminism.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 You want to hear something funny?
I accidentally my SD Card.
It was really strange. But it's empty now.
I have my important files backed up, of course.
But I still don't like it.
 
That’s weird. I never have that problem whenever I accidentally my CF cards.
 
I thought I was in my "sdcard" folder.
 
Would you like to buy a verb?
 
Then I saw a folder "sdcard", so I thought, what stupid app created that?
When I opened it, there was only a folder "screen recording" in it.
So I deleted it.
And then it turned out I had deleted my sdcard.
@tchrist It's a local meme.
We accidentally words.
This is really strange, I think I was on my sdcard, and yet deleting the folder sdcard/sdcard deleted everything.
Stupid Android. And Google claims external SD cards are confusing!

@Cerberus In kind of a Tron sort of way?
 
In a USB kind of way.
Contrary to popular opinion, I am not a computer virus.

Guys can you please judge my writing skill?
These two maps of an island describe layout of before and after result of the construction taken on the island for various tourists facilities. The narrow bars below each map indicate the rough measurement of island in metres and the icons on each map describes either facilities or objects located on that specific location of the island.
Before the construction, central side of island was lack of tourists acommodations, but after the construction, island has number of tourists acoomdations including a restaurant, reception and tourists homes. Furthermore, the construction enabled better tra

This is what answer sheep example looks like
The two maps show the same island while first one is before and the second one is after the construction for tourism.

Looking first at the one before construction, we can see a huge island with a beach in the west. The total length of the island is approximately 250 metres.

Moving on to the second map, we can see that there are lots of buildings on the island. There are two areas of accomodation. One is in the west near the beach while the other one is in the centre of the island. Between them, there is a restaurant in the north and a central reception block, which is surrounded by a vehi

@EnglishMaster First, 250 meters is not a huge island. Madagascar is a huge island. This is more of an islet or an atoll. It's about the size of a longish par-three or very short par-four hole at a tournament golf course. Second, I would point out that the idea of a "vehicle track" with a diameter of ~35 meters is idiotic. You could slow-walk the circumference in under a minute. I walk about the same distance going to my mailbox, and I certainly don't need a vehicle to do that.

My quickest one yet. I'm getting the hang of it. The idea is to lure the cat into a trap. Start three or four spaces away and build a loose net, with what looks to the cat like holes, which it moves toward. Then you close them up just as it arrives, leaving it with several spaces to travel to the next open opportunity.
 
Well done!
@Robusto Exactly my strategy.
 
It's not always easy.
 
Sometimes you just don't have enough time.
It all depends on which way the cat decides to move.
And on where the arbitrary dark tiles are, I suppose.
 
Yeah. The cat seems to always move toward n>1 avenues of escape. You need to make your trap look like n>1 but in such a way that each move lets you narrow it to blocked or n <= 1.
 
Yes...but the cat has to choose your avenue, and not the one next to it.
 
3:13 PM
I have some bs in my network life, now MS blocked me
No idea why and no idea what to do about it
 
Yeah. I think it plots a direct route to an exit, and only deviates when you block that route.
 
@JohanLarsson Huh, what happened?
Network life or file?
 
And how is Microsoft blocking you? It won't let you visit their website?
 
tried IE also
 
3:16 PM
Huh...
A virus?
 
Google gives me captchas 50% of the time
 
Oh, yikes.
On different browsers you get catpchas?
 
Tried analyzing my traffic in Wireshark but did not see anything
 
Do you have a network monitor installed?
Hmm.
 
Have not tried IE with the captchas
 
3:17 PM
Let me try microsoft.com
 
I suck using Wireshark so could miss very obvious things
 
It loads for me.
I don't know how it works.
 
I just stared at the logs and scrolled for a while really
 
Haha aww.
Does it tell you what bandwidth you are using right now?
Can you try Firefox? A VPN? A virtual machine?
A virus scanner?
 
I don't use AV
guess i could install one
Did a test 29,57 Mbps down 4,91 Mbps up, pretty much exactly what I pay for
AVG cool?
Problem is I get it on all computers on my home network
ok just tested I get captchas using IE also
 
3:32 PM
@JohanLarsson I don't normally use one either, but I install one every once in a while to check on things.
@JohanLarsson But do you have a program that tells you how many data you are using in the background, right now?
I think AVG has a good reputation.
 
@Cerberus not sure what you mean
 
When I hover over the tray icon of Networx, it says "DL 37 B/s, upload 30 B/s".
So that's what I'm using right now.
And it can also produce a graph.
 
There is the Network tab in resource monitor
 
Does it tell you whether you are using more data than expected when you're not doing anything?
 
nothing unexpected but have no expectations really
 
3:37 PM
OK.
 
svchost is chatty, no idea what he talks about
 
Hehe.
How much does it use per second?
 
53 + 11 B7sec
 
Bytes/second?
That's not much.
 
3:40 PM
Ah OK, yes.
And what happens when you visit a site where you get lots of captchas: does the network monitor say that Chrome suddenly uses a lot more data?
 
I get captchas when searching in the chrome address bar
 
And when you go to google.com and search from there?
 
get them there also
 
And what does the network monitor tell you when you do a Google search?
Does the bandwidth used increase a lot?
And what happens when you search on bing.com?
 
Chrome got pretty chatty, 30 kB/s
 
3:42 PM
Hmm.
For how long?
For a few seconds, 30 KB/s should be normal?
 
Dunno really, looks like there is some smoothing going on wiuth the number
looked like bing used more data on the wire though
 
Hmm.
But Bing gives no captchas?
 
I don't use Bing much
 
Nor I.
 
4:01 PM
running a scan now
9% 0 threats
 
Good.
By the way, "threats" are often pretty innocuous, like pirated software.
But trojans are not nice.

@Robusto wow! Very small initial net you've there.
 
4:37 PM
Good.

This one ain't too bad, neither.
But every time I think I have the math down, it turns out I don't. Sometimes the cat just behaves randomly.
 
Or you have not enough time.
 
Another not-too-bad one.
As I said, it's go for cats.
 
Glasses.
It is, indeed, Go for cats.
 
As someone once said, if tic-tac-toe has a difficulty metric of 1, checkers is a 3, chess is a 10, and go is a 37.
The game should have a counter, showing number of moves.
 
7:22 PM
Go is more difficult than chess?
Can a computer beat a human in Go?

for @cornbreadninja麵包忍者 and all font lovers:
 
Yo.
That's...scary!
Where have you been at tonight?
 
11:57 PM
@Cerberus It's much more complicated. Chess has been calculated to have 10^43 possible positions, while go on a 21x21 board an upper limit of 10^10^171.
