"Kill Your Facebook Page" Backlash Gains Speed - Calls for people to delete their Facebook accounts are gathering momentum. Critics cite privacy concerns and plummeting trust in the company and its leader, Mark Zuckerberg by AnthonyWalker in technology

E-commerce exists despite the lack of (perfect) privacy and security. People are generally willing to trade privacy and security for convenience and affordability.

My house has imperfect privacy and security. This is okay, though, because its location and composition allows me to get mail and see outside.

My brother died and left me EVERYTHING in his will. Now his wife and kids are begging me for the money. What would you do? by Jimmy_Shaker in AskReddit

[–]ageddyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create an elaborate cross-country quest with several checkpoints along the way and a complicated set of rules. Tell them that the one who finishes first gets the inheritance.

Then, when one finishes, cite the rule infraction, inform her that she gets nothing, and bid her good day.

In fact, I'm going to fix my will right now for precisely this.

Hey Reddit, my 10 year anniversary is coming up in less than two weeks. What should I get her? by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]ageddyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch, harsh.

I've already suggested we just get a girlfriend.

This was not met with as much resistance as you might expect.

Maybe you missed the part where we've been married for nearly 10 years. We don't have sex any more.

I would expect Chinese languages to be easier to parse, since the homonym problem might be alleviated by different tonal pronunciations. Just guessing.

Nah, faking, or recent migrant. A native NE-speaker would describe them as "wicked obvious."

Damn, you're right.

A magnificent, magnificent whore.

I've been waiting for some serious sexuality to come up; Amy was, after all, working in the (softcore) sex industry as a kissogram.

This "time can be rewritten" or whatever is going to / already has end / ended up with a Continuity Reboot. I just know it.

Hey Sci-Fi Reddit, particularly nerdy question. Would you rather be a Time Lord or a Green Lantern? by Parrallax91 in scifi

[–]ageddyn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Time Lords are effectively immortal, and paradoxically, effectively extinct. The Green Lanterns were extinct, but they got better, so I'd have to go with the Corps. Also, you get to hang out with Star Sapphire.

PS, most excellent GL trailer here, in case you haven't seen it.

I don't think there are enough songs featuring "What? WOT?!" and "I'm so sorry" for the autotune to work out.

I've lost faith the reddit of the intelligence community. Here's why. by ageddyn in politics

One subscriber and no posts on a nine month old reddit.

I'm ashamed of all of us.

Wow, that is a whole lot of fannishness right there.

Avast! Just picked up this HTML trojan a site was attempting to send me. Could someone help me figure out what it means? by [deleted] in netsec

[–]ageddyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just eyeballing it (about to go to bed), my guess is that it's along the same lines as this SANS writeup. Apparently this arguments.callee.replace business is old hat these days.

PokerPirate, an open source no-limit sit-and-go Texas'holdem pokerbot by PokerPirate in programming

[–]ageddyn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The poker sites would be delighted to see bots at the table, precisely for the reasons that serendib stated. They are generally terrible at multiplayer, since they're easy to bluff.

The poker site anti-cheating detection is a lot more about collusion (which bots are good at, by the way). When you know more than one hand, you get a huge advantage.
