  1. Actually, I do.

  2. Yeah, we sure have too few crappy console ports as it is now.

  3. Unless of course the usual console aimbot gets thrown into the game.

    The history of "drugs" in general is one of abuse. The only thing people can't agree on is who is abusing what or whom.

  5. And you keep more and more of them safe and protected in buildings built just for them!

    Well, what I'd expect from a more potent drug is lower dosage and shorter use.

    Wasn't supposed to be an apology, more an explanation before people start to interpret more into something than there is.

    It's easier than that. Medikament is German for medicine, and I'm a German native speaker. What happened here is me being out of caffeine and not translating a term properly.

    It's not that often that a non-native speaker gets to teach a native speaker a new word, I guess.

    What other long time study of MDMA do you know about? MDMA is in no country on this planet a substance that you can use in human studies, so where do you think these results come from?

    And here, as in every, "study" about drug use I'd like to know whether it is certain the reason is the drug itself and not some of the junk the dealers mix into it to increase their profit.

    I'd be willing to take that risk. PTSD isn't fun, hell, if it would make me like dubstep or country, I'd still do it.

    You'll notice that every medicament that actually DOES work and where it's pretty much impossible to find something better gets outlawed, curiously around the same time the patent expires?

    But I'm sure it's mere coincidence that we find out what horrible, horrible side effects they might have just around that time.

    Yeah, gays were a lot more accepted in the US in the 50s. Almost as much as the blacks.

    Really? When are you going to get rid of the Saudis, Israel and North Korea? Are you going to finish with IS first or like usual just start a new war and let everyone else deal with the fallout when you notice there's nothing left to be gained and distributed to your corporations?

  17. Hey, everyone has a hobby, ok?

  18. It's called culture. And it's customary to not eat your meat raw, people tend to look strange at you if you do.

    Over here we call that social services, where you get money from the state if you're broke and can't support yourself. Dunno if that exists in the US.

  21. Blocking port 21 will probably not really help against mail spam, but it might work wonders against illegal FTP filesharing... if that still was a thing, that is.

    My ISP started filtering the netbios trinity and its sister ports a few years ago (i.e. 135, 137-139 and 445), which was the death spell to my favorite pastime, collecting people's private porn pics.

  22. Nah, just a misanthrope who frequents funerals and tells old ladies "Oh I'm sorry... but you're next".

    Well, let's see. You have to connect it in some way to your network. Either it's wireless. Then you have to give my device your WPA2 key. Or it's wired. Then I'm connected anyway. What I need now is one stupid neighbor who does not secure his WiFi AP so I have an egress point for the data.

    The rest is mostly dependent on how your network is set up. There's always a way in and a way out, all that matters is finding it.

    Want me to sell you one that still gives me all the info I want about your lan?

  25. This would be something to blame on the people if they

    a) knew the device used telnet
    b) knew what telnet is
    c) knew the device can be reached at all

    If you want to throw dirt at someone, throw it at the assholes selling this garbage.
