    Good to get this cleared up. I had 5-0 in the back of my mind .. putting it down to too much SWOS back in the heyday

    Is it they do illegal thing and then try to extort money from you for doing the same thing? Or have they received a royal blessing nowadays and can do so legally?

    Will just squirt some ink into your mouth upon detecting such abuse and violation of ToS

    Ok but what's with that fence? Looking at that makes my eyes hurt. Is than an artefact of the video compression or the game itself?

    Maybe, but the product is called Thunderbird not Firebird

    Yeah, it looks like a Firebird now. It confuses the hell out of me

    On top of that (and maybe I'm just clumsy with controls) I can easily jump back and forth and re-read the text a few times if I need to. It's very difficult to rewind the video to …

    That's their mobile layout in general. In their view they must have improved UX immensely since no mobile person has needed help/support since introduction of infinite scrolling

    There's no need to limit this to meat. "Eating less would". And likely have other benefits too.

    Great example of how refactoring is a neat way to introduce bugs and break features

    Well, once it's out it's out. O can just imagine fixing this would break some clever mod/campaign featuring deadly relics that monks are forbidden to touch.

    Is there more on this mitm cert spoofing somewhere I can read up on? Sounds intriguing to say the least

    Anyone figured out how to do that most efficiently? You can't have two "old" co-existign at the same time? I'm using the rename method but struggle each time Which one is better to…

    Nice, wonder how long will it take for banks to cotton on and get rid of the stupid "my voice is my password" verification mechanism

    Thought it's common knowledge the proper way to redact things is by masking it physically, then re-doing a photo/scan of an item.

    Yes but defining it like this does not help much in avoidong future refactoring. The value should be loaded from a property file and/or environment variable at least

    Nostalgic flashback to Premier Manager games, where players stats decreased as they aged. When they went /below 0/ they flipped around to 127. So a good strategy was to scout out r…

    I'm guessing there was a study of some kind and not just theoretical debate? In a way I would agree with you, but I can also see an argument for the contrary. As in you don't want …
