@A10TheHog We’ve gone from a banana for scale to rotisserie chicken for cost?

A full drum run would cost 30,260 chickens.

@WarrenInTheBuff @UBS Let me guess, it’s stored as an unsalted MD5 hash?

Hey @UBS your initial password registration requires a new password to be 8 characters Not "at least" 8 characters, it has to be exactly 8 characters

@ThrillaRilla369 Defender. Right up front.

It's 1984, you've just walked into the arcade, where does your first quarter go?

"A Thousand Miles" was written by Vanessa Carlton when she was just 19. She played the full demo (with that iconic piano) for the first time for A&M Records executives, but she was so nervous that she barely played the intro. The video was recorded very realistically: she played the piano on the body of an open truck running through the streets of Los Angeles, the wind messing up her hair was 100% real, with no CGI or green screen. Released in 2002 as the lead single from the album Be Not Nobody, it reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

@vashikoo "Hackers" has the most references to computer hacking, people, and events of any movie. A group of friends and I watched the movie, and noted at least 80 items. The Morris worm, redboxing, Emmanuel Goldstein, books, dumpster diving, and more.

In 2001, Hugh Jackman delivered the most realistic computer hacking scene in film history. To this day, it is used for training at the Cybercrime Division of the FBI.

@denstarr4 @RyanceyReturns Yeah, my sticker shock would be how low the price is.

@RyanceyReturns 129 for a pair of cowboy boots is relatively inexpensive.

This smoking hot blonde woman walks through the Boot Barn store scanning shelves of cowboy boots then stops at a pair of white embroidered ones with a price tag. She holds up the tag showing one hundred twenty nine dollars and ninety nine cents with wide eyed shock before covering her mouth in disbelief. This spontaneous shopping reaction turns a quick store trip into pure sticker shock comedy. You wonder if spotting dream boots at that price is exciting retail therapy or instant regret in disguise. Would you buy the boots on the spot or walk away empty handed?

@ReedTimmerUSA Saw on TV in Dallas. Thought it was a documentary at first. My Dad lived a couple of miles away from the path near Moore. Fortunately, he was out of town, but I didn't know that at the time. Scary night. Thanks for all the great work. OU has the best meteorology department!

On this day, 27 years ago, we chased what is well-known as the strongest #tornado in History. This shows the F5 tornado near peak intensity, just after devastating the community of Bridge Creek, Oklahoma. Aa freshman meteorology students at OU, we stupidly abandoned our Geo Tracker and took shelter under an overpass. Research was published that overpasses can accelerate the tornadic wind and be even more dangerous. We then saw the terrible devastation in Moore, Oklahoma with horses wandering down the highway and people emerging from their destroyed homes. Over 50 people lost their lives from the May 3, 1999 tornado outbreak. There was another massive violent tornado with a supercell to the north near Mulhall, Oklahoma that peaked after sunset. The tornado outbreak was still going when I woke up for class the next morning at 7 am. This is a day that Oklahomans will never forget. Enjoy the nice weather this May 3,

@wbic16 I had an app I wrote that worked great on Windows 2000. Same binary, and the UI performance on a newer machine was reduced Windows XP. Based on hardware performance, it should have been faster. But no.

100 MHz was more than adequate to run a GUI. At 100 fps, we had a budget of 1 million cycles per frame. At 4 GHz with 8 cores, no UI task should ever take more than 1 ms. We have 320 MHz per frame available. What the actual fuck is Microsoft doing these days?!

@RetroMoviesDB Hopscotch is a good movie.

Walter Matthau (1920-2000) What's the first role that comes to mind? In memory🙏

@CyberRacheal Yes, but the email traffic should be read and sent using TLS connections for IMAP and SMTP already, preventing the provider from seeing the content.

Interviewer: You discover an employee has been using a VPN while working from a public coffee shop. Does this prevent the coffee shop's "Free Wi-Fi" provider from seeing the specific content of the employee's internal company emails? YES or NO? 🤔

@TheHatedOne01 I used to go to movies all the time. Now I look at what's showing, and am I'm mostly 'meh'.

Wanna know why no one goes to the Movie theater? 1. Hollywood has no more original ideas. They just remake great movies from the past and royally fuck them up 2. Theaters charge way too much for a ticket 3. The food and drinks at the concession stand is way over priced. 4. It’s way cheaper to stay home and stream a movie. You can pause it, use the restroom, Make your own food and beverages. Theaters are obsolete due to greed and wokeism.

@Hammerli280 @A10TheHog Carrier capable would be nice. Lighter materials / better motors could help enable additional armor to increase survivability without impacting g performance. Another plus.

@A10TheHog 3. New motors. More economical, better performance. 4. Carrier-capable. Sell them to the Marines. 5. More use of composites. Reduce weight, increase payload. Do NOT add a fancy sensor suite…do that, and you may as well buy F-35s.

If the A-10 had been designed today from scratch, what would change and what would stay exactly the same?

@Hammerli280 @A10TheHog No. Brrrrt is a cheap, effective, and 1,300+ rounds can cover a lot of targets with damage. 3000 rounds/min can do it in a hurry. I’d add more ammo capacity. Hydraulics with cable backup has proven survivability in getting pilots home.

@A10TheHog I’ll play… 1. Reconsider the GAU-8. Guided munitions are FAR more available, maybe use those for tank-busting and shift weight out of the gun. 2. Fly-by-wire. Still full duplex, but it’s a lot simpler/lighter than hydraulics. Electric actuators possible.

@AngelMD1103 Saw this happen when my friend and I were rappelling. Her shirt got stuck in the gear because she didn't lean back far enough. We dropped our rope next to her, and I went down by here got her free. Keep your hair and clothing away from the gear!

She was halfway down the drop, suspended in the air, everything going smoothly, until it wasn’t. One second she was rappelling with control… the next, her head jerked back. Her hair had twisted into the rope, tangled tight in a knot that wouldn’t budge. She froze instantly. Any movement pulled harder. Any panic made it worse. And suddenly, she wasn’t descending anymore… she was stuck. Hanging there, high above the ground, she had no choice but to wait. Time slowed down. Arms straining. Heart racing. The rope that was supposed to keep her safe had become the very thing trapping her in place. She called out, hoping someone would hear, knowing she couldn’t fix this on her own without making it worse. Now all she can do is hold still and trust that help is coming. Situations like this remind you how quickly control can slip away… even when everything seems fine. If you were in her position—stuck mid-air—would you stay calm, or would panic take over?

Nothing is safe from the almighty Warthog! Did you know it also took down two aircraft during the Gulf War?

@lippyent Murphys Romance with James Garner was a wonderful movie. @MavrocksGirl

In your opinion, what was her best role? Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

@javarevisited In my experience, I could actually see this happening.

I reported a major security bug. It could’ve exposed user data. Manager said: “Let’s not escalate this yet.” I insisted. Next week, I was removed from the project. Then performance review came. It said: ↓↓↓ “Not a team player.”

@engineers_feed What does mho measure?

Two people are claiming to be an expert in electricity, one is and one is faking. What question do you ask to find the imposter?

The greatest Bond song of all time is of course, Nobody Does It Better, Carly Simon. No doubt.
