  • How to explain Hash DoS to your parents by using cats

    How to explain Hash DoS to your parents by using cats – I think it’s a bit patronising to say “parents.” I’m sure my Mom would understand what a Hash DoS is better than I would! But it’s a nice little cat analogy that explains it well, I think.

    @randomknits Whoa. Didn’t hear anything here!


    @randomknits Ah, she’s working there? I didn’t know that! Where? Will have to say hi sometime. 🙂

    The 11th annual w-g Oscar contest begins very soon… http://t.co/422z7BUt


    After six weeks of great sleep, I was due for a bad night, I guess. *yawn*


    @laimelde Best of luck!


    @redambition I disliked it. If a dude offers me a seat, I assume he thinks I’m pregnant. I wear comfy shoes for a reason and I can stand.


    @drkknits @redambition Article wasn’t about everybody being polite tho. It was about men being obligated to patronise women in silly shoes.


    @drkknits @redambition I mean, it’s not combat. I can stand upright for 15 minutes and I resent it if somebody thinks I can’t due to ovaries


    I dislike slow buses and crappy drivers as much as anyone, but this stroppy entitled chick yelling at him is not improving the situation.


    @drkknits @redambition I still don’t get why respect is men being obligated to stand for us. It’s just tradition. There’s no real reason.


    @drkknits @redambition Sure, men in 50’s took off hat for women. I submit to you that I’d still rather live now and go without that.


    @liamvhogan I save my ire for everybody else on the road who is not on a bus. WE’RE TRYING TO HAVE A SOCIETY, YOU SELFISH PETROL-GUZZLERS.


    @drkknits @redambition I think a man respects me more when he assumes I can take care of myself.


    @drkknits @redambition Disrespect for women takes a lot worse forms than failure to make gallant bow when offering a fainting damsel a seat!


    @Justacogitating I’ve lost the ability to know when I’m using non-standard American English. 🙂


    @drkknits @redambition If all the stupid sheeple on the bus would move down the aisles, I’d happily never take a seat again. #petpeeve


    @redambition @drkknits Sure, as long as “others” on this Venn diagram does not solely consist of women. And we shouldn’t expect it either.


    @redambition @drkknits I just found article patronising in a “aren’t I such a nice gentleman” way. Like “Nice guys” on the Internet.


    @redambition @drkknits Like we’re supposed to thank them for remembering that we’re weak and special. Whatever, lame loser! 🙂


    @drkknits @redambition I just think we shouldn’t reject the stupid stuff (like being called Mrs. His Name) while accepting bits that benefit


    @drkknits @redambition Yeah. “I’m equal! Except you have to pay for dates and drive the car and always let me sit while you stand.” Not fair


    I spotted @Leirith this morning near the cinemas while I was stuck on Hell Bus. Hi Luke!


    My knee started making an audible clicking noise as I went up the stairs at work today. Not. Good.


    @liedra It’s not football like rugby. It’s football as a chess game. After each play, you set up again for optimal strategy.

    @liamvhogan I am trying Choqok, which I saw recommended. It´s okay, but some stuff is weird.

    @liamvhogan Haha. Twitter reset my password because they thought I was hacked. Presumably just due to that app authorisation!


    @liamvhogan Oh wait. Never mind. http://t.co/kEMVfUNA


    Twitter Hacked, 250,000 User Accounts Potentially Compromised

    After a long day of chores, went for weightlifting session at my new gym. With @the_snook. Who signed up. To the gym. (I’m still in shock.)


    @drkknits Same thing here! But without the Air, and with a sleepy kitty. http://t.co/Qk6N33NN


    @catehstn WTF. That’s awful. Hope you’re okay.


    @JennaPrice @momofuku We went last year. So good, and staff are incredible, aren’t they?


    @randomknits @justjussi @gilmae Be honest. If there is a baby within 100m, you ALWAYS find it. 🙂


    Ha. @the_snook sent me some running motivation. http://t.co/t95W3Rgn

    The Breeders Plot Last Splash 20th Anniversary Tour | News | Pitchfork – 20 years?! Good grief. I wish they’d bring the tour to Sydney. The Pixies came here a few years ago! I’d camp out for tickets, I swear.

    @HarveyNormanAU Thanks. Will send through momentarily.


    Brain melting. Really wishing I wasn’t off the grog right now.


    @HarveyNormanAU I was stuck in meetings all morning. Just sent through using the form. Hope you can assist us.


    @HarveyNormanAU Great news! Blanco have contacted me and are apparently going to help us sort it out. I may not need you to get involved.


    Blanco called and they’re going to help with my cooktop! Suddenly the sun is shining again.


    @misswired A snarkier person than me would comment that a lot of people in the Inner West could use the shower. 🙂

    The Snook has built me my very first Linux machine! Switching from Mac to Ubuntu on a daily basis is going to be weird.


    @liamvhogan My MacBook is sexy, I´ll grant you, but this isn´t too bad!


    @liamvhogan Ah, yes. Luckily I have inhouse tech support. Installing a Twitter app was a pain though. Not layperson-friendly.
