I meant to see this movie when it first came out a week ago, but other things came up so I didn't see it until yesterday. Unfortunately, it wasn't really worth the wait.
It wasn't horribly bad, but the Saw movies seem to be following the same model as other horror series, where each sequel has to be a little less intelligent, have a little more gore, and be a little more disappointing then the previous one. This one was just a little too predictable. And the "games" weren't as well thought out, and were either too easy, or just impossible. It seemed like the main purpose of this movie was just to make the audience cringe, and it definitely succeeded at that. |

Originally posted by HydraPheetz Here's how much of a nerd I am: I have the camel one on a shirt. How I started: My first experience with anything slightly computer related was a Webtv. I got it from a friend who had just upgraded to Webtv Plus. I had been interested in computers and the internet for a while but being dirt poor the closest I'd come was using our school's old green screens, and maybe a few fleeting moments with Windows 3.1 (which at the time was state of the art technology, as far as Windows goes, anyway) at one of the less cheap schools I attended. Anyway, I got this Webtv when I was about 14 and living with my dad and grandparents, but my grandma, being a luddite, wouldn't allow anything slightly computer related in the house, so I had to hide it and use it when I knew I wouldn't get caught, in my bedroom on my 15 inch black and white TV. It wasn't long though before I wanted to try create my own web pages. My friend who gave me the Webtv had a web page, so I ask him how. He passed along his small amount of HTML knowledge he had and I started putting together a small website on Tripod. After a few months of this, my dad found out I had the Webtv and after a few more month went to a rent to own center and picked up a computer (my grandma just had to deal with it). A Packard Bell with a Cyrix MII-300 processor (which was supposed to be equivalent to 300mhz, but wasn't really). It was $32 a week, and I eventually ended up paying for it after I got a job at KFC. I eventually got better at HTML, but that wasn't really enough. I wanted to make my web pages more interactive, so I turned to javas But that wasn't really enough, either. I could make a page interact with itself and the user, but not with the server. So I set out to learn perl. At first I didn't like perl too much, but the more I learned, the more I liked it. Since learning perl, I've tried pretty much every other language out there, but I just prefer perl. These days I do almost everything in DHTML (javas So my advice, for you picking up a new language, would be to start out with a good tutorial. One that starts by teaching the fundamental concepts of the language. Such as data types, operators, scope, function and argument syntax, blocks.... Then goes on to show this information in coding examples. The O'Reilly book are pretty good like that. Then you can learn new techniques by studying and tweaking other people's code.

Well, lets see, I normally spend 3 to 4 hours online before I go to bed. Then 6 or 7 on Saturday. I normally use Sunday to catch up on my sleep (not today though), so probably only 1 or 2 on Sunday.
So that's 22 to 29 hours a week. |

I would have preferred this announcement had happened on the 8th though.... |

Ok, I see what you're saying, I assumed the "necessarily" implied that it didn't apply to all cases where they couldn't say no. It definitely could have been better worded though. | |||

Even with the filters its still very easy to steal passwords. There are several ways in IE, and at least one that I tested that works on lololol. And they're all just one simple line of code.
There's even a way of doing it that doesn't involve javas Simple solution: Disable html in the overview of the thread shown on the reply page. |

Yeah, HyperHacker is right. I could actually steal cookies right from the main page. But unlike the password on the reply page, the password in the cookie appears to be encrypted to some extent. I tried decrypting it using the function shdec from functions.php, but it didn't seem to work, maybe it's outdated.
Of course, it's not really necessary to decrypt it, all you have to do is use the cookie like it's your own. But it still wouldn't help to steal on the main page or from a post, since it would be kind of hard to determine whose cookies are whose. Instead, you could just put the code in a pm and wait for them to read it. Maybe the best solution is to store the password in the cookie and html with one way encryption (I don't how this is done in php, but in perl it just crypt(password,salt)). Then, to validate it encrypt the password on the server the same way and compare. Then, just check the referrer to make sure it's coming from the right site. That would completely solve the problem. |

Why doesn't this poll have the controversy controversy? The controversy over which controversy is the most controversial.
And how can you have "All of the above" when the question says "which is the most"? |

The trouble is the country isn't much farther left then they were 2 or 4 years ago. They weren't really voting for the Democrats so much as voting against the Republicans. So if the Democrats push too hard on liberal agendas, the voters will just reign them in in 2 years.
And 2 years isn't a whole lot to work with anyway. If the Democrats don't seriously turn things around in that time, as far as the war, the budget, and the economy goes all those problems will just be blamed on them in 2008. Then they'll lose the majority, and will have no chance at the presidency. And if we do pull out of Iraq, and it falls into civil war, or into the control of Iran backed militias, nobody's going to blame the people who started the problem in the first place, they'll blame the people who "pulled us out too soon" and "didn't finish the job". As if, if we had just stayed there a few more week we could have got it under control. "Just enough rope..." comes to mind. |

To me this seems like one of those things that isn't really necessary, but also isn't really a big deal. | |||

Spoiler: I know that was the point, but it removes all the suspense if you know they're going to die anyway. It just made it stupid. And in the main game, all the challenges involved was things like reaching for a key. |

If you get banned it probably won't be for requesting a rom, it will be for starting a new thread because the first one was closed. (edited by emcee on 11-08-06 08:37 PM) |

Wouldn't that make it so you would have to constantly re-login? How would the server start a new session after the last one expired without the password? | |||

The article implies that the decision did come from above. I really don't see how it would help Bush to put all the blame on Rumsfeld later on. He's the one who refuse to get rid of him. Even after several retired generals and the Military Times called for his resignation, sighting incompetence, arrogance, and simply a failed strategy. Combined with the fact that it is now obvious to everyone (not just people who are all "Henny-Penny the sky is falling") that we are losing in Iraq (and to some extent Afghanistan as well).
Of course simply getting rid of one guy isn't going to fix everything. But this isn't really about one guy. The issue is that the majority of American don't believe we have a strategy to win in Iraq. But in defiance of this and just reality in general, the Bush Administration has simply refused to even try to adjust their strategy, because no one was holding their feet to the fire to do so. But now they have to, or else no one will blame the Democrats for spending the next two years going after them. What this means is that it's finally starting to get through who the real Decider is: the voting public. |
