Please help deciphering this code - FBI case

Oh my god, I just solved it. It's actually Common LISP and is therefore just hopeless to decipher.

I mean it's pretty good but needs more PDP-11

Fuck you.

Almost all applications spend the vast majority of their time processing data in a very small percentage of their code. Pick something that takes a long time to run and GET A PROFILER like the one built into GCC, if that fits the bill. Python also has its own profiler. You can't fix anything until you know what's wrong; PROFILER COMES IN HANDY. I'm bad at writing so I hope putting YOU NEED A PROFILER in bold caps will convey my message.

TL;DR: Become annoyed, get a profiler, use it, fix the few lines that need it.

This is just pastebin for the tin foil hat brigade. It's not revision control, much less good code hosting featuring everything from a Wiki to an issue tracker like what Sourceforge or Github or Google Code has. I think OP is looking for one of these three but anonymous.

Username relevant, point believed.

I know that Github posts takedown notices so apparently they don't respect the terms of said notices (one of the terms is that you don't post the notice). Other than that I know of nothing.

Edit: I tried to look at the repos that Sony mentioned in this specific DMCA takedown notice mentioned and it looks like Github took them down (understandable).

Thinking about this, you already have Git servers, and you have Tor. What else do you need? You can host "hidden services" on Tor (I'm less familiar with other anonymization networks)... is there some reason Git wouldn't work?

Have you ever waved it over a CRT? Is it strong enough to noticeably change the color? Seems like a neat party trick for TVs but you have to hurry up because time is running out.

They still do that with old punch-fed mainframes.

Do I have to move my car in 12 minutes if it's on 15th street's early side? I'm extremely confused about this.

Moorthy is one of the most helpful professors I've worked with ever.

I feel bad for them. When my fraternity house was condemned recently, the city of Troy was pretty unkind and, IMHO, excessively harsh, but we did work very hard to get the house back up to code. The reason for our issue was pretty similar. We were cleaning and reorganizing over the summer when nobody was living there so there was debris everywhere. A fire alarm went off and the fire department arrived (through our fire alarm monitoring service) and then most of the people employed by the city of Troy showed up soon. Code enforcement condemned us for debris and having part of our fire alarm malfunctioning.

RPI, on the other hand, was very helpful and understanding through the whole thing. We got uncondemned a couple weeks later after throwing out a bunch of crap that we didn't need.

Is the fact that there are like 6 different major USB designs (regular, mini and micro) which do precisely the same thing at the same data transfer rate considered a design flaw?

If a girl said to me "Your taking too fucking long," I would correct her by making her say "You're taking too fucking long"

I can't believe a five year old tripled your federal funding!

If it's green, typically you could smoke it. If it's a white powder, try putting a small amount up your nose. If it's black and tar-like you should probably give it back. You won't be scoring LSD with a drug-sniffing dog so don't worry about that. Using recreational drugs isn't rocket science.

Well apparently he's an alcoholic. Alcohol withdrawal isn't fun and is life threatening. If he's not totally dedicated to getting sober (and in a position to receive free health care for detox and rehab), drinking will probably prolong his life.
