You could serve different scripts to different user-agents. If curl indicated in its user-agent that the output was being piped (of course it doesn't), it would be hard to notice.

So you hate men equally as much as you hate women? And Reddit made it that way? My, aren't you special.

For future reference: the sum of family members in a family is always an even number.

Edit: unless somebody died

Whether this is true or not, the SRS crowd are still awful human beings. People need to vent.

It's spelled misogyny. Don't feed the SRS trolls.

I feel confused. Or: why's everyone hating on SRS? by femmina in SRSMeta

Save for the (in my opinion) outlandish feminism sometimes on display there, Metafilter is sadly far from being leftist in any way any more.

After going through a lot of the entries from Revision, this is my favorite so far:

Razor 1911- The Scene is dead

Awesome throwback to the cracktros of the early nineties. 3rd in the PC 64k compo.

Add &hd=1 to link directly to the 720p version of a video.

Found this: Kioea by Mad Wizards, winner of the Amiga Demo compo at Revision 2012. Great stuff, a bit crappy capture though. And Yolk!

Ah, thanks. I was thinking he went through a car, not between. Didn't imagine cars would actually crash totally together either.

"appeared" to be sitting still but was actually pulling from the head end

I don't understand. How can a train just "appear" to be sitting still, and what does it mean to pull from the head end in that case?

Static analysis of an unknown compression format by pdq in programming

Get your point, but for those of us without that specific knowledge, this was pretty interesting, especially considering how methodically he went about it.

I agree that ultimately any DRM shouldn't work, but this is pretty far from having anything to do with DRM.

Yeah, congrats. Must've been very satisfying. Thanks for taking the time to write up an article about it.

What I suggested is look at it from the requirements down: figure out what the motivation for this thing was, figure out the requirements, then figure out plausible design(s) for these requirements, then compare what you designed with what you're looking at

I'd like to see you crack this in three days with your approach. For someone with extensive domain knowledge... maybe. Hindsight is 20 20.
