- Comment on W.XP 1 day ago:
I noticed. This was around 2008-2010. I had a dinosaur of a machine sitting around and wanted to see what would happen if I connected XP to “the modern web.”
I did a complete wipe and reinstall, installed either SP2 or SP3, whatever the last version was. Ensured that I had the latest drivers for all the hardware, and connected the Ethernet cable.
Result: Complete system lockdown in less than 5 seconds due to being taken over by bots. The system was unable to reboot on that particular install of XP. I reinstalled XP, got it functioning again, wrapped the computer in an anti static bag, and put it in my storage unit, knowing I would likely never touch the machine again.

I would have thought that the obvious “hammer and sickle” reference would have made it obvious that I was joking.

My parents live in Indiana, and I mostly grew up in either Indiana or California. I’m not so sure the state is better off even after offloading some of the racist hillbillies from around those parts.

I dunno man, the master’s sledgehammer and sickle can pretty effectively destroy both the house and the master respectively.

I would imaging that an incompetent barrister wouldn’t have much difficulty arguing that actively sabotaging military equipment is, and has been for centuries, treason against the crown.

EvE Online doesn’t use root access anticheat software. I know it doesn’t because it runs on Linux just fine. That particular player base is the worst hive of scum and villainy that you’ll find outside of government. Clearly the anticheat software isn’t as essential as game studios would have you believe. The only major cheating I’m aware of in EvE was the BoB scandal, and that involved Devs cheating because they were Devs.

I could be wrong, but as I understand it Halal is Kosher, but not the other way around, since Muslims recognize Jews as a people of the book.

Oh gotcha, clearly I conflated what dietary requirements they met.

Nope. The wings are weighted so that the bird is perfectly balanced on its beak. You could set it on a pole and it would do the same thing, just didn’t work on a table because the wings tail and belly would be what touched the table.

And none of that Sleepytime crap either! Doesn’t work. My mother used to give me a cup before bed constantly in an attempt to get me to sleep more than 4 hours a day.

Bourbons were just copying the already successful Hydrox cookies. Hydrox is superior to both Bourbons and Oreo, because they have always been kosher so everyone that isn’t vegetarian can eat them.

Hydrox. They’re still around, and have always been kosher.
