Movie Quote Of The Day
Do you see any Teletubbies in here? Do you see a slender plastic tag clipped to my shirt with my name printed on it? Do you see a little Asian child with a blank expression on his face sitting outside on a mechanical helicopter that shakes when you put quarters in it? No? Well, that's what you see at a toy store.
Which movie?

It's useful for sharing code snippets and log files. Basically it's used for things that don't deserve a full-blown project.

Courtesy of Australia's favourite  telco, I have one of these things. Windows Phone 8.1. I have no desire to use it for telephony (5 numbers is enough, already). Wondering if anyone knows of something it would be useful for. NB This is the lounge, not the soapbox. My "real" mobile is a midrange Samsung, which I am happy with.
Cheers,
Peter

You can experiment with UWA (Universal Windows App, is that the name?) see if you can get one exe to run "everywhere"!

UWP/UWA doesn't run on Windows Phone 8.1

Some students at my middle school once 'hacked' the blocking system and blocked Google and Wikipedia for 'Malware', then a week later blocked the entire internet for 'Porn'.
The control file for the blocking system was available over anonymous FTP with upload and download ability. It was a simple text file with one rule per line.
Those students got into BIG trouble for those pranks. Hacking school computers was grounds for expulsion.
Although the state Department of Education ordered them reinstated and ordered the school to do a full computer security audit after finding out how accessible the network was. The network administrator account was "Admin/Admin" for the username and password, and all passwords for school-use websites (which were the same as those for logging into the network) were stored in plain text in an internet-exposed database.
There were lots of fines for those oversights. Even the student information database was accessible from the internet, and it contained Social Security Numbers and other sensitive info.
It was then discovered that these flaws covered the entire district, and the District IT team and administrators were charged with several crimes (I don't remember what exactly). It was kind of a big scandal at the time and prompted the Department of Education to perform audits at all schools in the state, uncovering a lot of problems, mostly at public schools.

So just watched the reunion episode and realised that that really is it and, well, 
Ok it went off the boil a bit, especially once Kari Byron departed, and maybe it was time to pull the plug but still it's been there all through the crappiest part of my life (and where the hell did a decade and a half go?) tickling the vestiges of my interest in science and amazing me every now and again (elephants really are scared of mice, and bulls are incredibly dainty in china shops ... what?) and I'm gonna miss it. Feels like there's less and less of what makes life marginally worthwhile every day now and all that's left is waiting for God and occasionally writing a clue for the CCC (itself an exercise in singing into a vacuum today!) Time's a bit of a bastard, innit!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

We haven't had the final episode yet - the gummi bear rocket was broadcast last night - but yes it'll be the end of an era. It has been getting poorer for a while though, so probably it's for the best that it goes out on Adam and Jamie's terms rather than dwindles into obscurity via lower ratings, lower budgets, even lower ratings, even lower budgets, ...
I was sorry to see Kari go, but Tori I would cheerfully have watched get slowly run over by a stream roller...

The only times I was made to sit through Mythbusters is at relatives' place, typically on Christmas or New Year's day, and Discovery's running a back-to-back Mythbusters marathon and for some godforsaken reason "this is the only good thing on TV right now".
Mostly what I remember is the same clips being played over and over after each commercial break, like people are too dumb to remember what they were watching and constantly need a recap. I thought the whole thing was rather unwatchable. Remove these, and I'm convinced the show could've been done in about 8 minutes.
Was the regular program actually like that, or did they only do this for the holiday marathons?

It's not so surprising that elephant are afraid of mice.
Think about it, I know some human who are afraid of cockroaches! Similar size difference I reckon!...
