2017-02-02 at 2:36 AM UTC in DnD/Roleplaying ForumThis has come up a few times, Scrump's Dwarf Fortress thread reminded me - it'd be cool to have a forum RP game, but would require a a couple of changes to stop it from spiraling into a shitposting frenzy.
Ideally we'd want a new subforum for the game with the DM as a moderator. It could be done in a single thread, but I'd expect it to be more difficult to assign a moderator to a thread rather than a subforum. -
2017-02-02 at 2:09 AM UTC in Greg abbott cuts funding towards travis countywhy are you arguing about who started talking about it when it was actually the basis of the thread?
on topic though, the government would have a lot less resistance if they were to properly compensate the states for holding and processing illegals on behalf of ICE -

wtf
are you both actually retarded? this thread started out about federal money being withdrawn due to noncompliance with federal law regarding illegals -

2017-02-02 at 1:43 AM UTC in Options For Attacking A Web Server That Aren't Web Application Related
Originally posted by SBTlauien Guess I'm going to have to start learning about some these tools(Metasploit specifically). Bufferoverflows as well.
reading about buffer overflows is a good idea because it'll give you a lot to think about in terms of the way the CPU handles memory and how exploit code actually works
in a practical sense though, it's not something that's generally of great use against a webserver. memory attacks are much easier to execute locally to elevate privileges, and a lot has been done over the years to mitigate their potential.
most processors nowadays support the NX bit, marking memory as No eXecutable, meaning that you can't dump exploit code there and have the processor pick it up. software protections like DEP do similar; stopping execution of certain segments of memory (where data buffers are typically stored), ASLR randomises memory addresses so it makes it very difficult to know where to jump to once you've injected your code... there are a few ways around the protections, returning to core libraries etc (see: return oriented programming or return to c), but it's a lot more complicated than it was a decade or two ago and situations where it's effective are a lot more limited -

have you seen the animes? the movie looks like they've taken the aesthetic but nothing else; the best things about GITS were it's realistic (and dire) predictions for the future and existential discussions, judging by the trailers I've seen it just looks like a shitty neon action movie with robots -
2017-02-01 at 2:41 AM UTC in white lady always shows up at fights yelling stop like a pigevery single time
"stop fiiighting! STOOOOOOP! WAAAAAAAAAA"
and half the time they started the fight by relentlessly talking shit and not walking away, then act surprised when it escalates.
in a way it's funny to watch because as they start wailing louder and more frantically, you can see them have a little breakdown as their worldview collapses in on itself - the authority they thought they had means nothing in the face of physical violence; the 'pen is mightier than the sword' only if you can keep the guy with the sword out of chopping range -

Originally posted by mmQ I essentially agree with your review but have nothing but praise for Breakdown. It's like pushing on a bruise or cutting yourself. It just hurts so good.
yeah it was the standout, I think it went on too long though.
my perception is likely tainted by the fact that I really, really hate the last track - it's kind of like eating a spoonful of shit will make everything else taste terrible for a while.
I assume. -

I immediately regret downloading this 'album' (7 tracks at around two and a half minutes each makes for a mercifully short runtime of 15 minutes or so) in FLAC. I have to check to make sure everything's plugged in correctly because for the first 20 seconds or so, there's nothing but muffled bangs and static.
After that first pause though, the track explodes into a cacophany of awful. I can't understand a word of the vocals; the combination of the horrible audio quality and what I assume is a very serious drug-potentiated mental disability is like running a crumpled up sheet of sandpaper with flecks of shit and blood caked to it over my ear drums. Speaking of, drums are the only instrument used throughout the album - timing is all over the place, and they sound like they're half full of salt or sand or something.
The second track is lighter on the drums and more focused on the vocals - I could actually understand what he was saying in this one, but that's because the only two words used in the lyrics are 'bundy' and 'YEAH'. Aside from that, same criticisms apply.
To my surprise, the tracks do actually progress with the album - the first few are shouty and largely indescipherable, but they're at least cogent enough to conform to a rhythm and beat. This starts to fall apart at Let Me Be - the singer has apparently given up on trying to form words and just starts making noises, which progresses to just pure screaming in Maniac and Breakdown. It's literally "AAAAAA*BANG**BANG**BANG*ARRRHHHHHHHHHHH*BANG*AWOOOOOO*BANG*OOOOO" etc. for five minutes or so. There's actually a point in Breakdown where you can hear him start fucking up his timing and compensating by bashing the absolute fuck out of the drum; I expected to hear him punch a hole in it by accident - the only reason he didn't is probably the length of the track.
'Dissociated' is an excellent example of saving the absolute worst for last. There are no drums on this track, and very few words - it's mostly just mouth-sounds and clapping. Think the Gregorian Masters of Chant if they weren't masters of anything and had a choir for severely retarded children. The pure pain of listening through it is broken at a few points where the singer apparently tries to switch from sounds to actually saying something but fails abysmally - it's unexpectedly hilarious hearing him go from "AAAAaaawaaaawaaaaoooowaaaaaaayyy oh shhhiiii whyy whYY whhyaaaawaaaaaa".
If this album was a triangle it'd be scalene. -
