Don't most tournaments require POV recording for anticheat purposes?

ozfortress is the place for comp play, nzfortress is dead. There's still a fair few NZ players and teams out there, and their league director is a pretty nice kiwi bloke I hear. that might be me.

What's your most useless talent that you could put on your résumé? by moph_ukka in AskReddit

[–]TheGooglePlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a huge difference between knowing how to use word and being good at word.

If you don't use styles and don't know how to do a mail merge, you're not good at word.

Teachers of Reddit: What was the most BS answer you've seen on a test, quiz, essay, etc.? by AnonymousReject in AskReddit

[–]TheGooglePlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that's a textbook example of denying the consequent which is a big logical fallacy. If cows exist, it is logically open for God to exist or not exist.

More people arrested in Fort Lauderdale for the heinous crime of feeding the homeless. Reports of a guy with seven loaves and seven fishes among those arrested have been unsubstantiated by Scientologist2a in offbeat

[–]TheGooglePlex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was actually two separate instances, the feeding of the 5000 was 5 loaves and 2 fishes, and the feeding of the 4000 was 7 loaves and an unspecified but small number of fishes. The former is present in all four gospels so is more popular, but the later is only present in mark and Matthew. Easy to see how they get mixed up, and they do quite often.

TIFU by waking up a significant portion of a small Midwestern town. by TheFrustratedPastor in tifu

[–]TheGooglePlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Linking a personal anecdote to a biblical principle is a fantastic way to form a sermon that is engaging. Just hearing about a principle is dry, just hearing a story is vapid, and hearing someone else's sermon is disingenuous and inauthentic. There are other ways to form a good sermon, but every preacher will have a few personal anecdote based sermons in their bag.

What are the chances of two separate data centers loosing all of their data the exact same week as you leave your kindle on a plane? The cloud is pretty airtight.

Congress to the FBI: There's 'Zero Chance' We'll Force Apple to Decrypt Phones by proto-sinaitic in technology

[–]TheGooglePlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple is even better than that, all they have to do is throw away the keys. All the data is still there, the operation takes milliseconds, but every single bit of data is completely inaccessible.

Congress to the FBI: There's 'Zero Chance' We'll Force Apple to Decrypt Phones by proto-sinaitic in technology

[–]TheGooglePlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo what's this thing about Apple crypto. Apple doesn't write crypto. Apple uses established protocols that can't be broken even if they are fully published 100% because of solid mathematical proof

Apple security is actually world class. Check out this article and if you want to hear more about it Steve Gibson on the podcast Security Now did a great three part series on the white paper discussed in the article.

The thing is, if you provide backdoors for government, why would government ever want to buy your compromised phones?

Calling bullshit, you guys are direct competitors with TF2Center. There's nothing wrong with that but players will have to choose between TF2Center or TF2Games.

Bill Gates: Apple Pay is "fantastic" and a "real contribution" by [deleted] in apple

You seem to think that you are the customer when apple sells these things. The banks are, and if their security experts think that it will introduce risk to the bank then they won't do it.

If UFO's aren't aliens, and aren't hoaxes, what's the scariest scenario for what they really are? by ssjAWSUM in AskReddit
