P.S. There’s a reason the hosts file is plain text. Anyone who needs a database to manage their hosts file is a fucking moron. It was never meant to be that large.
A "VARCHAR" field allows different lengths of text to be in each row, in a particular column, and to NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE COLUMN BE THE SAME LENGTH!
E.G.=> Text1 vs. TextText1
Both are text fields, but the 2nd one is longer than the first. The VARCHAR field will make 5 spaces for "text1" & 9 spaces for "texttext1", but NOT FORCE THE "text1" entry to be the SAME 9 DIGIT LENGTH, via padding, that "texttext1" is.
I know what a varchar field is, you arrogant prick. That’s what the memo field does in Access. You’re an idiot.
Try an export... see what happens!
(I.E.-> You'll end up with a file with TONS of "trailing blanks" as padding
Then you exported it wrong, moron. Go in to the settings and change it from “fixed width” to “delimited”. Then change the field delimiter to “{space}” or “{tab}” and the text delimiter to “{none}”.
Your failure at exporting data from Access does not me wrong make.
The caveats that the destruction was intentional and you knew it was evidence do apply. But in general “destruction of evidence” is taken to imply those two things. If you intentionally destroy something that you know is evidence, you’re violating the law.
Apparently it means moving the ground wire on the pool light enclosures to the hot leg of the circuit. However you’d probably also have to work around any GFCI and/or circuit breakers. (And anyone who uses “polarity” when talking about an AC circuit is a freaking retard... Timothy.)
As I don’t have a pool, I’m fairly sure I can post this without being the subject of an investigation. However, that might not apply to those of you reading it. Sorry about that.
You don’t need to set up your own network to harvest MAC addresses, unless you want to get a particular person I suppose – I think you’d need to break the encryption to get any MAC addresses off an encrypted network but you could sniff all the devices on any unencrypted network just fine.
And spoofing a real MAC address isn’t even necessary to begin with. Just using something like 01:23:45:67:89:ab or 0d:ea:db:ee:f0 would be sufficient.

I stopped after previewing the tinyurl (persistent cookie) revealed that it was an ow.ly link. The only reason anyone would need to double-hide the URL is to keep people from knowing what they’re about to visit.
Now, if I knew how to preview an ow.ly link, curiosity probably would have led me to at least see what it led to, but I don’t. So... meh. I tried using telnet to get the response but it seems to be blocked at the firewall somewhere.
Up to 255 characters. Microsoft Access only stores the characters entered in a field; it does not store space characters for unused positions in a Text field. To control the maximum number of characters that can be entered, set the FieldSize property.
Can the average PC user (not necessarily the more technically inclined users here on Slashdot) be trusted not to screw anything up inside a desktop or laptop PC when installing RAM sticks?
I’m inclined to say yeah, most of them could. And the very few who couldn’t probably know it and wouldn’t touch the inside of their computer if their life depended on it, which is okay because they are probably related to half a dozen people who could.
Yeah, you’re going to have a few truly incompetent and stupid people who take a screwdriver to their PC’s innards and screw things up something serious, but at some point we have to allow natural selection to do its job...
LOL, that does remind me though of when I visited a European country and the guy we were staying with was parking. Some guy in an orange reflective vest (I didn’t see any other official sort of mark on him) was walking up and down the rows of cars collecting money and slipping papers under the wipers of cars that had been paid for. I wondered (though I didn’t ask) how anybody knew whether the guy was legit or not.
Granted, I’ve heard stories about stuff like that (e.g. the guy who collected a few million from somewhere like the London Zoo parking lot or something like that and nobody noticed he wasn’t supposed to be there until he just didn’t show up one day), but living in the United States it’s pretty hard to imagine how that could possibly happen until you’ve been to a country like that and seen how things work. Here, I doubt the guy would last a week unless maybe the city government just didn’t care enough to investigate.
It would be easy enough to design a system that assigned your car a numbered spot. That way you could hit a single button (compact car / van) and know immediately (a) how to find your assigned parking spot (b) which you’d fit in, e.g. no vans parked on ends of rows, and (c) it’s more-or-less the most efficient parking spot (e.g. the computer prioritizes lower levels and spots near elevators). Reserved parking places would be immensely easy to handle, too (just have the computer handle it, and they can swipe a card to get their spot).
Then everyone just leaves the ticket on the dash and have an attendant who walks around periodically and puts parking tickets on cars that are parked in spots where they shouldn’t be, or don’t have their ticket on the dash. Happens enough times or they don’t pay the fine, and they get a boot on their tire.
Yeah, this is just an excuse for the government to have another electronic “eye” watching you all the frigging time.
The goal isn’t to eliminate wrongdoers, the goal is to monetize them more efficiently. If wrongdoers were eliminated, they wouldn’t make any money off parking tickets. It’s just the same argument as the red-light cameras, which my city has had for a while and is currently considering moving them to new intersections because hardly anyone runs the cameras any more. Mission accomplished – wait, these aren’t making any more money... problem? Only if your goal was to make money.
Of course if they move them, I’m sure the previously-monitored intersections will pretty quickly return to exactly as they were before the cameras were installed. If the goal is to cut down on T-bone accidents caused by red-light runners at intersections that are identified as particularly bad for this sort of thing, the cameras need to stay at those intersections, yeah? Moving the cameras to less-bad intersections simply to generate more revenue could actually result in people getting killed. Priorities? You bet.
Slashdot Mirror
The male has XY chromosomes; the female only has XX. You can make a female clone of a male, but not the other way round.
And as a clone, the female would have two copies of the original X chromosome (making XX), i.e. half of the original DNA (XY).
And you thought YOU had it hard growing up...
No no senor, it doesn't work: You end up with a file that is NOT "line-by-line", but instead a file that has entries like so, on export:
Wrong, that's the field delimiter not the record delimiter. Nice try APK.
Fuck off, troll.
No, because HOSTS FILES ARE NOT COMMA (or otherwise) DELIMITED FOOL!
YOU FUCKING IDIOT, read the next part where I said to change the delimiter to a space / tab!
Who’s skimming now, hmm?
Your failure to make a correctly working HOSTS file on export
Tested and works. YOU are the one who failed at reading comprehension to duplicate what I told you to do.
unlike your "script kiddie script"
I’ll say it again. That wasn’t my script. I don’t do shell scripts. Keep shrilling your insanity, nobody cares.

If you’re not mistaken, if you clicked that link and someone near you dies sometime soon, you’re a murderer.
Personally, I think you’re mistaken, though.
Destroying evidence of a crime is always illegal, and if it’s not evidence of a crime, it’s not evidence. So what he said was basically correct.
You don’t need to set up your own network to harvest MAC addresses, unless you want to get a particular person I suppose – I think you’d need to break the encryption to get any MAC addresses off an encrypted network but you could sniff all the devices on any unencrypted network just fine.

his work wasn't 1/2 bad...For a script...
Imo, it's MOSTLY there
LOL, as much as I’d love to take credit for the script, I really didn’t write it.
in Access? You have NO "varchar", only fixed size text fields
False. Access calls it a memo field type instead of a varchar field type. It holds up to 63,999 characters.
(& it always defaults to the LONGEST entry, padding the rest to equal length to said longest entry, making the HOSTS file "bloated")
Also false. Fixed-length text fields are not padded with spaces in Access:
If you’re not just trolling (which I very much suspect you are), care to explain what you meant by that?
If mobile users can’t tell the difference between real sites and fraudulent ones, that says something about the mobile device’s web browser, IMHO.
The most galling thing for me, a prolific original content provider (if I say so myself!), is seeing these scraper sites out-ranking me
A good robots.txt should take care of the ones that obey it, and it’s easy enough to detect robots that don’t obey it and IP-ban them.
