I remember reading this on HN a long time ago, but I can not find it anymore. The method was explained in detail and concerned the source engine for this exploit. When I search the web for it, I only find articles of the game being banned i

The usage of locally forbidden material in online gaming, to insta ban opponents or as a form of protest is a well known trivial hack. Some games allow to spray an image file to a wall, the picture is downloaded by all players. Locally enfo

I use a simplified point system to keep track. I rarely drink, but used to escalate when I do. I usually calculate a beer, a shot or a glass of wine as a 1. Big or strong beer 1.5. My favorite cocktail is a 2.5. Reduct one point per hour an

General loudness has limits since it can damage hearing, assume we are always below discomfort using damping if necessary. It is said that 6dB SNR would be enough to still follow a conversation, but there seem to be some exceptions to this.

Seems to me anti-slavery is an amendment to the constitution. So it is a right not a law. It doesn't dangle from a previous SCOTUS decision and half assed legislation.
