I've looked at this theory before. I even go as far as to grayscale my face and enlarge the eyes on the only single profile photo of me on the internet.
The algorithms will adapt. They'll stop looking for eyes and other facial features. They'll start looking for face paint.
Laurie Chilvers - Yep, that's going to be the next name I use when I sign up for the Huffington Post. I'm not being evil, and I promise I wont troll. I'm just going to post my thoughts. I hope no one thinks they are your thoughts.
And that's how stupid this is.
I use my real name in one place and one place only. I've made a couple of posts about my dinner, my pets and a couple of 'look at the interesting things I do in my life' posts. All for people who think real life is the same as internet life. Stupid fuckers.
I burn an extra 400 calories a day on the crosstrainer. This equals 2,800 calories a week. It is the same as doing without food one day a week. Nearly 60 days a year without food.
Today I'm 1.82m tall, 78kg fat. I was a massive (ha!) 83kg last year. All done with 15 minutes exercise a day, which is hardly marathon running.
These looping animations are great. They're small in filesize - great for mobile browsing. They have no sound! No sound! Are often cut to a small number of frames, ending the "yeah, click here and fast forward to 32m 05s, to view 2 seconds of funny" links. No one adds "?t=32m05s" to a query string, before any one brings that up. Are rarely deleted due to DCMA.
Mine is a new teenager. She's been on the internet unsupervised for a good three years. Sit down for this bit: we also let her loose on the BBC's website when she was a toddler, all the time we were in the room next door doing boring household chores. Lock us up and throw away the key.
We check in on her from time to time. We're mostly greeted with grunts and "can't you see I'm busy chatting to my friends?". We ask about things she's doing. Mum checks her Facebook. I ask questions; questions like "how many accounts do you have on Facebook?". I'm not stupid, even if her mother is.
Facebook:
Here's an issue. Teenage daughter likes buying clothes with her friends, bringing them all back to my house, trying them all on like some fashion parade, and posting photos and videos on Facebook. I get it. It's what teenage girls do.
These posts attract men aged 25-45 from an area of the world spanning the middle east to indonesia. They all tell her how pretty she is. How sickening is that? What should a parent do? Maybe Glorious Leader Dave can help?
We've educated her to block these people and explain that there are a few nasty people out there. Wrapping her in cotton wool until she's 18 is not something we've chosen to do.
Unsupervised? Yes. As a well rounded and balanced person, she has earned that right.
All hail our Glorious Leader Dave, saviour of the internet and all things just.
Forget that he left his own child at a pub whilst out drinking. Forget that he failed to introduce plain cigarette packets. Forget that he failed to introduce minimum alcohol pricing. Forget that he failed to fix unemployment.
All hail our Glorious Leader Dave.
Forget he was a member of the Bullingdon Club. Forget heâ€(TM)s a u-turning dishonest clueless toff. Forget that the UK population did not vote him into power.
We all know that a over-compressed video stream is still watchable but an over-compressed audio stream is distracting. Audio streams are left untouched for most rips above the 700mb level.
When I played with MD5 rainbow tables, probably 10-15 years ago, it was an interesting experience.
I signed up to a website and was given a large block of passwords to crunch. I can't remember my block, but it was full of 7 character alpha-numeric passwords. There were some 6 character password blocks left to crunch, but 99% of them were complete.
My P3 450 crunched them all weekend and beyond. In return, I was given complete access to the MD5 rainbow tables, through some forms on a website.
It was a near-instant search.
Assume that your 8 character passwords are fully hashed. All alpha-numeric passwords 7 characters and under were complete back then.
If he's from the UK, the product must have been sold at the higher price for 30 days previously.
I suspect it's the same across Europe.
Although, what normally happens is:
1. Product sold at 10.00 for a long time. 2. Product sold at 12.00 for 30 days. Probably hidden on a small shelf at the back of the shop. 3. Product sold on sale with a whopping 10% discount. Price on the product is now 10.80.
It's that "pure message board" that some of us have missed over the years. Any subject, any level of detail, alternative accounts welcomed (we love the AC here, we love the alt-accounts there), the RES Firefox add-on (thought Firefox was a memory hog? Use this add-on and see the magic smoke in action), cats, cats, more cats and don't subscribe to the cat memes.
I like the long posts on there. Before finding Reddit, it had been a while since I spent a whole evening reading people's comments, something I used to do on Slashdot many moons ago. It's made the internet interesting again.
The doxxing is bad though and that needs to stop before real people get really hurt.
The blurb is missing one part of the email. The email started "Dear member". What? You don't even know my username?
So I clicked the link, changed my password to a keyboard mash of 16 characters, which wasn't secure enough according to the security experts known as Ubisoft. So I changed it again to include two numbers and now it's forgotten forever.
The Earth's crust is only 50 km thick, which is not quite as thick as you are.
Below that is the mantle and it's 3,000km thick and makes up 85% of the Earth's volume. It's very hot; somewhere around 1,000 to 4,000 degrees centigrade.
Imagine trying to cool down a red hot poker with your tongue - heck, don't imagine, just try and do it. This is the equivalent of us trying to cool down the earth.
Visit my local pub on a Saturday after and you'll find a man selling shitty cams on DVD. Sometimes two shitty cams on the same DVD. He sells them at 3GBP. He also sells those "Week 26 MP3" DVDs that contain all of last week's albums and the complete top 40 singles, also for 3GBP. I've seen him take 150GBP in an hour and I'm sure he visits other pubs on his weekend travels.
There's the price point. 3GBP for a shitty copy of Superman.
p.s. Slashdot, you dicks, I'm not typing £ and all the <p> tags just so I can use a currency symbol. Your incompetence no longer funny.

I have to call bullshit.
I burn an extra 400 calories a day on the crosstrainer. This equals 2,800 calories a week. It is the same as doing without food one day a week. Nearly 60 days a year without food.
Today I'm 1.82m tall, 78kg fat. I was a massive (ha!) 83kg last year. All done with 15 minutes exercise a day, which is hardly marathon running.
So you're telling me that I have more chance of winning the UK Lottery (1 in 13,983,816)?
I'll buy two tickets this week. That'll show them terrorists.
No. Keep them. Keep them all.

What's not to like about them?
I don't even have a photo on my UK driving licence.
I've had some sucess with installing Go Launcher, using that to uninstall bloat, then uninstalling Go Launcher.
Oh, I a letter.
rect-an-gular
I don't know AC, what makes a circle of a diameter of about 15.5 meters?
They're retangular, by the way.
538 square feet = 50 square metres
2150 square feet = 199.7 square metres (lets call it 200)
Metric bitch.
What parents? WHAT UNFIT PARENTS?
That would be us. It's no big deal.

You just know it'll be a javascript injection by the ISP for the first page you visit.
The "pop-up dialog" will say:
Do you wish to block porn? [yes] [no] [cancel *hehe*]
Everyone will click yes out of habit, except little Johny. He likes to live dangerously and he'll click no.
They have admitted it. There was an official apology back in 2009.
I think a QR code that directs people to qr.png, which just shows another QR code, would be hilarious.
Reciprocal QR trolling.
You need better sources for your rips.
We all know that a over-compressed video stream is still watchable but an over-compressed audio stream is distracting. Audio streams are left untouched for most rips above the 700mb level.
You buy extra guns for your spouse/friend/child.
Extra guns offer more protection than fewer guns.
Can I get a yee-ha?

Asking Google to search for hashes is also fun.

They think we're all stupid, and we are.
As anti-virus and spam software has been able to deal with zip-bombs for years, I suspect the NSA can deal with them too.
Zip-bombs aren't new, dumb-dumb.

I'll take a stab at this, if you don't mind.
Me: I need a way of paying you.
Them: Do you have access to online banking?
Me: Yes, please provide me with your bank key (sort code) and bank account number.
Them: Will our IBAN number do?
Me: yes.
PS. I know "IBAN number" is wrong, but that's what will be said.
There really isn't a problem with paying anyone in the world with a bank account. No fees too!
I thought the same.
The blurb is missing one part of the email. The email started "Dear member". What? You don't even know my username?

Fuck you Ubisoft.
I'd post as AC if asked that question too.
