  - All my gov friends went home/ to Happy Hour, but not sure about the majority -- nm - MDH Oct 7, 13:03

I am less than two hours (one way) from Stonehenge. Worth a drive? - ty97 Oct 7, 12:57 25
- I thought it was cool, though you can't really get too close. I also happened to go on the day before the summer solstice and it gets really wacky - pmb Oct 7, 13:07 1
  - Yeah, vernal equinox was not *too* bad. -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 13:08
- Absolutely. - Stephen Oct 7, 13:06
- yes, its Stonehenge. -- nm - Jovian Oct 7, 13:03 4

    - but, it's Stonehenge. - Jovian Oct 7, 13:07 1
      - Uh, that was my point. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 13:09

- I loved it, but there is not much there. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 12:58
- What else would you spend the time doing? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 7, 12:57 15
  - Brighton, London, working. -- nm - ty97 Oct 7, 12:58 13
    - Meh, I'd probably go hit the Stones...mainly cuz I'd expect you could never run out of things to do in London - Will Hunting Oct 7, 13:01
    - I think Brighton is fun. And I could never run out of things to do in London. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 12:59 11
      - Brighton sounds like a summer destination, no? -- nm - ty97 Oct 7, 13:03 1
        
        I went in the winter. It's like something otu of a movie. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 13:04
      - Except driving. -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 13:01 8
        
        I'm less than a mile from a train station. 36 minutes to London Bridge Station. -- nm - ty97 Oct 7, 13:03
        
        never drove. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 13:02 6
        
        It was frightening. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 13:03 5
        
        I know. nm -- nm - Crash Davis, gunner Oct 7, 13:04
        
        the tube is awesome, and taxis cover the rest. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 13:03 3
        
        I walked and took the tube. Never even cabbed when in London this summer. - MDH Oct 7, 13:04 2
        
        We did to but rented the car in London to drive all over the island. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 13:06

I can only assume that Anonymous hacked JackDawson for hating on their Occupy Wall Street campaign. - Qale Oct 7, 12:50 3
- "JackDawson: Newly part of the 99%" -- nm - ty97 Oct 7, 12:55
- thats not till oct 10th, let's see if we hear from him then -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 7, 12:54 1
  - They've already been involved with the protests. Oct 10th is when they were going to pull down the nyse website. -- nm - Qale Oct 7, 12:55

      - [deleted] 7
        
        duh - groiny Oct 7, 12:56 4

        *sigh* - groiny Oct 7, 13:01
        
        groiny really does not understand the human body. -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 12:55 1

So, do we kow how much coin Hank Williams, Jr has cost himself? -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 12:46 2
- whatever is lost fromespn is likely to be replaced by anti obama redneck fund raiser gigs -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 7, 12:49 1
  - Yeah, but the ESPN gig was such easy one with such great exposure. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 12:56
538 is tracking media coverage of the Occupy Wall Street movement, reaching Tea Party levels. -- (link) - Mop (195 lbs) Oct 7, 12:45 1
- The take home message: If you want to be on the evening news, get clubbed on the head by the cops. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Oct 7, 12:46
I'm wrapping up for the afternoon. May or may not do some more moving after dark tonight. Way more than half way done - prayformojo Oct 7, 12:41 1

"Offensive line" -- nm - prayformojo Oct 7, 12:38

- "You weren't married already?" -- nm - con_carne Oct 7, 12:53
- "so the ring means engaged engaged?" -- nm - moles Oct 7, 12:52 2
  - actually, in the past two weeks, in my office of 25(ish) people, 2 got engaged, one announced she's pregnant and another's wife had a baby girl. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 12:52 1
    - Did we ever hear the proposal story, or did I miss that? -- nm - pmb Oct 7, 13:08

    - " annnd...we've lost her " -- nm - Epiphany Oct 7, 12:54
- "Tortoise? What's that?" -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 12:45

    - Yep...just found it. - Mel Profit Oct 7, 12:43
- Well, if it was intentional. -- nm - Ender Oct 7, 12:39

  - yeah, it's actually becoming more common -- nm - decline Oct 7, 12:45
  - FIV, and there's a vaccine for it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 12:45 2
    - sort of - there are multiple strains and not all are covered by current vaccines, plus there are tradeoffs for kitties who get it. -- nm - b. Oct 7, 12:47 1
      - ah, thanks. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 12:49
  - incredibly common. (non-transferable to humans.) -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 12:44 5
    - huh, I learned something new today. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 7, 12:45 3
      - Feline leukemia as well. -- nm - Krusty Oct 7, 12:51
      - There's also SIV in monkeys. (simian=monkey) -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 12:47 1
        
        I knew that one. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 7, 12:48
    - *whew* -- nm - kilbo si Oct 7, 12:45
- "Thirty-five dead cats -- some found in plastic bags in the freezer -- also were removed from the home." - ty97 Oct 7, 12:40 3
  - and the wife is missing - I wonder how hungry all those cats got ? -- nm - decline Oct 7, 12:42
  - I hope this makes Hoarders. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 7, 12:41 1
    - they oought to just nuke the house. - groiny Oct 7, 12:45

- joemauerinahammock4me (sorry, jack - so sucks.) -- nm - b. Oct 7, 12:33 4
  - is there a national password thing happening? We got a message yesterday that we have to upgrade (lengthen) our passwords. - loosilu Oct 7, 12:34 3
    - Oh God. National Update Your Passwords Day? - con_carne Oct 7, 12:38 2
      - if you do it and tell your fb friends about it, you'll receive a free burrito at chipotle with steve jobs' name written in sour cream on it. -- nm - b. Oct 7, 12:40 1
        
        I'm stealing this. *yoink* -- nm - TWuG Oct 7, 12:41

  - HEH -- nm - prayformojo Oct 7, 12:36 1
    - (you heard me) -- nm - prayformojo Oct 7, 12:36
- Probably not in practice. Obviously the random digits do not have the dictionary word attack vector but at those lengths - oblique Oct 7, 12:30 10
  - [deleted] 9
    - spaces and word sizes are more random. 20 continuous characters is easier to crack in a brut force attack -- nm - decline Oct 7, 12:35 1
      - spaces are a special character and can be replaced with any shift-number symbol or punctuation - TWuG Oct 7, 12:55
    - A mispelled word isn't in the dictionary, either, and is much easier to remember. -- nm - mara Oct 7, 12:34
    - vega$moneypaigowrawr -- nm - Strongbad Oct 7, 12:33
    - Not in a brute force attack -- nm - oblique Oct 7, 12:33 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        Yep. It's the combos that matter and the more characters the more combos. -- nm - TWuG Oct 7, 12:36 1
        
        And it's grows exponentially. -- nm - Ender Oct 7, 12:41
        
        Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 7, 12:34
- The string of words is easier to remember and no less hard to crack than a string of random characters the same length. -- nm - TWuG Oct 7, 12:30 1
  - And size matters. The length is what provides the security. -- nm - TWuG Oct 7, 12:30

- They should invent a keyboard lock button or something...oh wait -- nm - oblique Oct 7, 12:31 4
  - yeah, thanks, I put that effing lock on all the time, and it still does it. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 7, 12:32 3
    - Your butt is trixie. -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 12:34 2
      - I told you, my butt is not into that Speed Racer role playing. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 7, 12:37 1
        
        But it overrides your cell security and dials! -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 13:04
- No worries. -- nm - Bacon on a droid Oct 7, 12:29
that stolen bridge story was interesting ... I bet that ghost is gonna get *vengeance*. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 7, 12:27 1
- how the heck do they take it? -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 12:33
tiny sandcastle of hate buried on B2. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 7, 12:26

        you are SO gangsta - groiny Oct 7, 12:38 1
        
        You're right I was wrong. I was getting it confused in my head with She's Gotta Have It which I didn't care for much. -- nm - Krusty Oct 7, 12:41
- Irene got a big ol' butt! -- nm - David Oct 7, 12:26 7
  - in the 69 my humpty nose will tickle yer rear. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 7, 12:27 6
    - Wrong song. Also, you're creepy. Stop being creepy. -- nm - David Oct 7, 12:27 5
      - it's about a butt - groiny Oct 7, 12:28 4
        
        It's about a nose. That's why he says "my nose is big". -- nm - David Oct 7, 12:29 3
        
        would you rather I sing poop chute boogie? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 7, 12:30 2
        
        poop, there it is! -- nm - Strongbad Oct 7, 12:34 1
        
        ~hey there vagina, what's it like in New York City?~ nm -- nm - groiny Oct 7, 12:39
