I made a little girl cry by stealing her sticker at Disney World
Topic: Miscellaneous 10:15 pm EDT, Apr 29, 2008

>Uncle Sam
Today I stole a sticker from a little girl at Disney World and made her cry.

>rezidew
you monster

>Uncle Sam
That was her father's contention.

My contention was that I thought the sticker was garbage, as it was a free promotional piece of crap, and was in the floor of an abandoned Disney stroller in a pile of popcorn and napkins.

We did not find common ground.

>rezidew
lmao
you're gonna get ejected from diney world

>Uncle Sam
Yeah
It was like an episode of Larry David
The guy was screaming YOU STOLE THE STICKER
I can't decide if his daughter really cried, or if he exaggerated for effect.
Either way, I felt super guilty.
I was like, "Isn't that a free sticker?" He was like, "IT DOESN'T MATTER YOU STOLE IT!" I was like, "It was in a pile of garbage in the floor. I thought it was discarded." IT DOESN'T MATTER YOU THIEF!
If his daughter cried, I forgive him his anger.
But if he made it up for effect to justify his materialism, I object.

>rezidew
lmao
LMAO
it was on the floor?

>Uncle Sam
Whats more... why was he hauling his kid around in a stroller filled with garbage?
Dude, it was in a pile of popcorn and napkins.
And the stroller was not in a stroller parking area, it was just sitting there.
It was a DISNEY stroller.
1) If it was not a disney stroller, I would never have taken the sticker.
2) IF the sticker was not obviously free, I would not have taken the sticker.
3) If the sticker was not obviously (to me, at the time) garbage, I would not have taken the sticker.
4) If I had thought anyone could have actually been upset at me taking the sticker... I would not have taken the sticker.
morally, I think I'm clear
Woman disagrees because "I couldn't be SURE it didn't belong to someone."
But I say that wasted material should be liberated, and that takes priority at some point once the odds of it being owned drop below a certain point. My error was in not realizing that kids love fucking stickers in my estimation of that equation.

>rezidew
LMAO

>Uncle Sam
There was a roll of 8. I took the blue donkey.

>rezidew
so did they see you take the sticker?

>Uncle Sam
His contention was that his daughter was attached to those stickers big time, and that she learned that men are evil because of me.
No. He came up to me 20 minutes after I took it.
It was on my chest.
Who the fuck steals 1 out of 8 stickers and puts it on his chest and remains at the scene of the crime?
THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.

>rezidew
lol
who leaves their stroller unattended for 20 min?

>Uncle Sam
Everyone, at Disney. But most people park them in designated areas.
Actually that is the weak part of my argument: there were 2 other strollers nearby, but they were not Disney.
But because the thing was FILLED with garbage, I thought it abandoned.
Who the fuck hauls a kid around in garbage?
THAT is outrageous.

Adolf Hitler's Paintings
Topic: Miscellaneous 6:31 am EDT, Apr 28, 2008

These illustrations of Hitler's art are taken from a coffee table book on Hitler published during the Third Reich, several million copies of which were printed. These are the eamples of Hitler's paintings one was likeliest to see durng the Third reich. One assumes these were thought the best of his work. It's interesting that they are all from 1914-1917. By 1938, Hitler decided to prohibit reproductions of his paintings.

Just watched Max and decided to look at Hitler's Art.

KOSHER COKE A BIG HIT - New York Post
Topic: Miscellaneous 9:44 am EDT, Apr 22, 2008

March 19, 2007 -- Why is this Coke different from all other Cokes?

It's kosher for Passover.

And even non-Jews are thirsty for the limited batch of Coca-Cola because of a very special ingredient - it's made with pure sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup.

"I had somebody with an Indian accent call me one year to ask when Passover was so he would know when to look for the Coca-Cola made with sugar," said Arlene Mathes-Scharf, who runs the kosher food information Web site Kashrut.com

Sucrose or Dextrose = MUCH BETTER THAN FUCKING FRUCTOSE.

FUCK FRUCTOSE.

DOWN WITH FRUCTOSE. DOWN WITH CORN. KILL YOUR SCARECROW.

Million Dollar Pinball: Part I || kuro5hin.org
Topic: Miscellaneous 8:29 pm EDT, Apr 11, 2008

The casino was very popular and a lot of top players would play there when they were visiting the LA area. This caused a problem - lines for games, especially Poker, would get too long and players would get impatient.

The owner of the casino, a man I've never met, came up with a brilliant idea: install several pinball machines to keep the waiting list happy.



Among the machines involved was Bally's Addams Family Pinball, the top-selling pinball machine of all time. At first only one machine was installed, but it proved to be so popular that 2 more were installed, and then another 2. Soon, a whole bank of Addams Family Pinball machines was installed on the floor, at the expense of a couple of poker tables.

At the time, I was playing mid-stakes lowball, usually limit Razz or no-limit deuce-seven triple draw. The limit stakes ranged for $30-$60 to $100-$200 blinds for me, as I worked up my bankroll from playing just $2-$4 and $3-$6 limits. The Addams Family game, however, piqued my interest, and I played the game frequently as a break or while on the waiting list.

I became quite good and had challenged several of the top spots on the machine. At the same time (and unbeknownst to me), several players were making prop bets at the machine. A prop bet is short for proposition bet and is just what it sounds - two players agree on a something to wager, agree on a pay structure, and then play to determine the winner. A typical conversation might go like so:

"Hey Johnny, I'll bet you that I can break 100,000,000 points this game. What do you say we put $1,000 on it?"

"No way. You're too good. Give me 2-to-1."

SANS Internet Storm Center; Cooperative Network Security Community - Internet Security - isc
Topic: Miscellaneous 9:40 pm EDT, Apr  9, 2008

When we got contacted by ISC reader Greg in Hungary, whose web server had been hacked and adorned with a couple of obfuscated JavaScript files, we expected a variant of the "nmidahena" injection and a closed case. JavaScript is an interpreted language, and while the obfuscation attempts we see are getting more creative, the scripts can usually still be coerced quite easily into divulging their secrets. ISC handler Lenny Zeltser teaches the SANS course on malware analysis, and ISC handler Bojan Zdrnja wrote the portion on JavaScript analysis for that course, so we are usually able to make short work of bad stuff.

Not so this time. This one was something new.
