That Netgear dumb switch? We've got 10-20 of those running 24/7 in user office spaces; they're all cool to the touch because they do practically nothing. Jam them into a tight, hidden space and safely forget about them foreve

I think you're confusing N,N-DMT (commonly referred to as DMT) with either 4-PO-DMT (psilocybin) or 4-HO-DMT (psilocin). _Very_ different substances.

This is MDMA we're talking about... not psychedelics. I've known people (SWIM and all that) who have taken it purely to abort a bad LSD trip. Pure MDMA is not going to produce anxiety. You can even be fairly functional on it, depe

If they sued, yes, they would have to reveal themselves. One of the developers got dox'd recently, which may have something to do with shutting the project down. ( https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&a

This is why NASA spends millions, not tens of thousands, of dollars to send things to space.

Yes, there are a lot of options, both commercial and non-commercial, for full drive backups (then you restore the using those and the incrementals). Do that for your provisioning servers and you can redeploy a lot of the infrastructure base

This all goes on the baseless assumption that the original author is a male. If you look through the user's archived talk pages, there are many indications that the user is actually female.

I don't agree with it, but I could see how the author would justify those edits. The author rolled back edits that he/she felt were unfounded (whether or not they are is a topic for another debate). The student then reverted all t

Yeah, like you hint at--this gets near Dragos levels of paranoia. Firmware based hacks are highly non-trivial; particularly considering the sophistication of the scripted attacks that target Wordpress, Drupal, et al. installations en-masse.

Similar situation about five years ago; dumped from a 4-year relationship in my last quarter at college. Just barely made the minimum grades required to finish my classes and graduate. I hate to say it, but it's going to take time befo

"Virtual reality and telepresence can eliminate the 'AI problem' for robots" Yes, I suppose it's easy to eliminate any unsolved problem if you simply give up on it. PS Maybe take it easy on the Adderall.

Yeah, this is terribly easy to fake. Also, if you look closely, they repeat a lot of the same e-mail addresses with different "real" names attached to them. e.g., flyman@gmail.com and kidrock@msn.com (which appears right next to e
