Um fuck no. If you go that route, you nuke the whole PC after.
Anyway, depends how its implemented. If they are smart, it grabs your hole cards at the begining of the hand, before any real information exists for you to switch them on. If they do that, its going to be harder to pull this off.
Better strategy is to just make your cards, as far as he sees them, random on each round, and visible to you....so you know what he thinks you have. Even better, you stack the table with friends and start out "playing straight" with him and let him win a little, then turn on the randomizers and fuck his world.
This starts from an assumption that attractiveness is based solely on physical characteristics. I actually have not found that to be true. If you are all hung up on physical beauty then that is your own problem. I enjoy a nice pair of tits and a supple young body as much as most straight men, but couple that with a nasty personality and I can't even see her as something I want to have sex with.
By that same token, if a warm smile, pleasing conversation, and wildly dilated pupils are not enough to stir your flesh, then I guess I understand your position; and you have my sympathy.
So they can request notifications be delayed..... nice. So is it a felony for them to improperly request delay? I feel it should be. They are supposed to understand the law they enfoce, they should be held to the strictest standards against it.
One of the worst things we do is allow law enforcement to go around bending and breaking laws, while holding everyone else's balls to the fire.
If they are trying to put others in jeapordy, they should face the same. Every single time, and it should be severe.
oooh...responding to your GPS being stolen from your car, by taking all of the valuables in your bank safe deposit box and keeping them on the passenger seat instead.
I was laughing, we had some old PCs that my father got from an old job when a department store his company was contracted to shut down. They had been out of business 10 years, old enough that the hard drives I ripped out to be destroyed were 5GB.
We put them outside over the weekend...gone. Even got rid of a 14" CRT monitor. Which is hillarious when I posed a 52" rear projection HDTV on freecycle and nobody wanted it.
Not only that, but we fought on the side against democracy.
The agreement was that the countries were supposed to re-merge after an election. Everyone knew the communists were going to win the election fair and square, but, that wasn't acceptable.
So the SOUTH refused to hold the election, and the US backed them. That was what the war was about, we wanted to stop an election.
Except there is also attractant. The more security you have, and the more out of place your security is, the more valuable it is perceived. I am reminded of an anecdote shared by a man trying to get rid of an old tire. He tossed it in the bed of his pickup, and left it there for several weeks. He would go about his day, park in town, etc.
Then for a lark, he puts a combination lock around it. Not attached to anything, just the tire itself. It was stolen from his pickup the next day.
> It's a terrible idea to live in a bad area, generally I would prefer to commute further.
Incorrect, because it often means property values will make the largest climb once young professionals move in for the shorter commute and price out the poor people from the neighborhood. I can think of a few places where houses going for 250k when I was a kid are 1.2m now, and guess what....when I was a kid, they were known for being a bit more crime but nice locations for commutes.
Lol now they are being buried into the city and new areas to the outside will have the nice commutes and.....the cycle continues.
If you think keeping the lid on human rights sounds good, then more power to you.
You are damned right its a one sided example when the sides are powerful men abusing their ability to shape the lives of those around them for profit, I take an extremely one sided view, the side that thinks those men belong at the end of a rope in a public square.
> I do believe that many of them are honourable people, but their viewpoint has become so skewed
You know, in a way, I do too; its just, I can't imagine how that could matter less when we know the road to hell is most easily paved with the best of intentions.
It doesn't matter how good they intend to be, or how honorable they are. What they are building, as a technological capability, is too powerful of a weapon to trust anyone with. Actions taken in secret audited in secret, regulated in secret.....
Once the gun is built, it is a matter of the will of the user where it is pointed. The only thing you can be sure of is, the owner will someday change. Policies will change.
Just imagine what happens if we wind back the clock to my parents 20s. What if, after the very first protest, police could identify the names and home addresses of all the social hub people in the community. What would our world look like today if every gay rights protest or every anti war protest just saw a string of quiet arrests for "drugs" or traffic stops that "got violent" and removed the very people who glued others together....
Who really looks at history and thinks this sort of power is safe to leave in the hands of those in power? When has any sort of power to silence opposition NOT been abused?
So small minded. If you were really interested, you would just log this activity forever, and then you can always mine the data for any date range. Disk is cheap, logs are small.
You are picking random samples of 1000, filtering through them, and then broadcasting to the whole group, and iterating. So you are not assuming overlap between the filter groups, you are assuming the filter group is representative of the people who saw the output of the last filter group.
Also they are marking similarity not just plagerism, and when they do, going through a metafilter process to judge the similarity.
Aside from the fact that I don't give two shits about joke reuse (or the viability of comedy as a profession), the concept seems pretty sound in every way but one...the metafilter relies on users finding the duplicate joke and linking them..... and I don't believe you will find large enough samples of people willing to put in that much effort.
Yes but testing can only catch so much. Do you really think anyone ever considered "Hey we need to stock the lab with booted cables too, because it might make a difference someday"? Maybe now that will be standard procedure but....I wouldn't have expected anyone to have expected such a test to matter, or even think to try it.
I have been pretty annoyed by the popup already. I have not upgraded, in fact, I built this system from new parts within the past 6 months, then went out and got new copy of OEM windows 7 and installed it. I put 7 on here intentionally FFS.
I have seen absolutely nothing to convince me I might want anything in 8 or 10. I know I will eventually have to update, but, windows is for gaming. I don't do serious work in windows. I want to run into as few errors as possible because fighting errors is part of my day job.
You know, I was driving in traffic up to a big clover leaf with a short merge area the other day and thinking, you know....theres probably enough people out there that there is almost always someone trying to do this for the first time right here.
Everyone who does something does it while inexperienced first. Every day old people die and new are born, and new people are being inexperienced and making errors....and..... even experienced people miss things.
Presumably "experienced people miss things" is how this reset button ended up where it is.
Also because wikipedia is articles with titles that are named for their topic, so a particular piece of information may or may not have its own article or may be buried inside another. If I know the article/topic, I will go to wiki first sometimes, but its easier to hit google where, even if it doesn't hit wikipedia, it may hit something that gives me a better idea what to search for, which will then lead me there.
So, lets say I am talking with someone about the war on terror. Now, I know the US has had involvement with terrorists, and I know one lives in Florida, but maybe I can't quite remember the name Luis Posada Carriles. In fact, 30 seconds before I pasted that.... knew the general topic, I knew a bit about the event I had in mind, I knew there was a wikipedia article!
So a few google searches later, I have run into the name Orlando Bosch...another wikipedia article, wrong one...but relevant. A few more searches...and here I am: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Yup, that is why I said spoof out, since the ability to recieve replies and not have the original host muck with your stream since the ability to recieve the return traffic and not have the real host muck with it by sending the appropriate response to close your connection that the satelite companies have so graciously implemented.
Yes but isn't that kind of the point here? Even today studies are done that turn out wrong, we find treatments that turn our later to not work.... so why not recreate and evaluate old methods that may have some promise now that we have far better means of evaluation.
Its not like we shouldn't expect to find things like this, hell, there have been interesting studies with butterflies where it was found that individuals with mite infestations would selectively prefer individual plants that made toxins which treat their infestation. Humans had a long time to try things out, why not re-examine our own old practices?
Can't always blame our ancestors for thinking some things worked when pesky patients often get better on their own and ruin your data.
I thought being able to spoof out was generally fairly common last I checked (admittedly, its been a while since I checked) and its generally the other required additions that are more problematic to set up and use.... you know, when someone doesn't setup a service that is a spoofers wet dream.
Well you see it depends on what the definition of "do" is. Does "do" mean to perform an an action presently, or does it mean to have ever performed an action, or even to cause it to happen by a third party.

Its like responding to car theft by filling your gas tank.
Of course, so is requiring those making regulations to take the ridiculousness of their position into account.

Um yes, of course their read their instruction manuals..... do you really think they came up with these ideas on their own. These people love BB.
Did you remember to factor in all the ones and twos, plastic balls don't count.
