Pang hasn't responded to my email, forum messages, or irc message. Maybe he been busy dealing with the aftermath of everything. I'm sure that if I was running boxcar I would be wanting to take a break from it as well.

Thanks DFA... glad you're on top of the ball.

From what I understand it was hash code used. I am not sure how to explain that.... but not actual passwords. (I think pang or qzjul can weigh in on that more to make you feel more confident)
In the meantime you should always use a different password for different accounts to always be safe. There has been many times gmail, yahoo, and other places big have been hacked and people have gotten ahold of some pretty good info and passwords to get access to bank accounts etc..... something like that in the last few years should teach that. ;)
I most defiantly do not have the same pass for ee, boxcar, my sites, or bank accounts....


Well to clarify.. hashed passwords are just the passwords hashed. Using various tools, one can offline crack those hashes to get the password. Arstechnica has done many in depth articles on how all of this happens.

But yes, if you use reuse your boxcar password anywhere else, those who were involved do have your passwords. It is certainly a security concern, and I would hope that this has been reported to the appropriate legal authorities. What happened was not only unethical, it is illegal. I'm SHOCKED that anyone after hearing about how much data Five Eyes soaks up would put themselves in a position where they can face many years in prison over a silly text based game.

The Infernal Elite submits that both sides should be placed on DNH for the remainder of this war. Any hits made on either RD or Evo will be retalled accordingly. I ask both clans to not accept tag jumpers.

1) 98 off and on throughout the years.

2) I found the game in high school; some people at the lunch table were talking about it, and I joined up with them.

3) Because my Tamagotchi pet keeps on dying.
Mostly because I've made some good relationships with people who play this game. I also have discovered new interests from playing/chatting with people around here.

min(5*MULT,floor(6*MULT*TURNS_ELAPSED/TURN_RATE))

Can you clarify this and tell me what I'm doing wrong. Assuming turns every 5 minutes (ffa/alliance), hitting GS, and hitting at 200 turns elapsed.

min(5*1, floor(6*1*200/300)) == 4

Am I using the formula wrong?

Actually you're way off base here.

In the 2012, elections there were 122,346,020 total votes cast for the House of Representatives nationwide. Of those 122,346,020 votes, Republicans can not claim a majority or even a plurality of the votes were cast for their party. In fact, neither the D or R got a majority of the votes. However, the D did get the plurality of votes; but thanks to the beauty that is gerrymandering the Republicans are able to take limited government to the extreme and do absolutely nothing.

Don't believe me, look it up. http://clerk.house.gov/...tionInfo/2012election.pdf

Look, I think limited government sounds good and all. And I also believe that there is excessive government spending on all types of things. But y'all take every good idea and push it to the extreme.

This is not a zero-sum game; these are peoples livelihoods we are talking about. Shutting down the government and pushing for the government to default on our debt, is ridiculous and hurts the entire US economy.

This advisory letter I believe somewhat addresses your question:

https://www.osha.gov/...PRETATIONS&p_id=24311


OSHA standards do not prohibit employees from exiting or entering an aerial lift basket that rests on or adjacent to an elevated surface. Section 1926.453(b)(2)(v) requires that employees working from aerial lifts be tied-off. On the other hand, when employees move from the basket to the elevated surface, the requirements in 29 CFR Part 1926 Subpart M apply. In particular, §1926.501(b)(1) requires fall protection at 6 feet above a lower level. A worker may enter or exit an aerial lift (at heights above 6 feet) provided that fall protection such as guardrails or a fall arrest system is used while the worker moves between the lift and the working surface. A fall arrest system and its components must meet the criteria in §1926.502(d). During entry to and egress from the lift, a worker may tie-off to the lift (if the lift is designed to withstand the vertical and lateral loads imposed by the employee's movement itself or by an arrested fall) or to an appropriate nearby structure.

Richardson has had 2 knee surgeries already and had broken ribs all last season. They had to limit his practice in training camp just in fear of keeping him healthy. The guy is a beast and plays hard; but Cleveland has bigger needs than Richardson. This is a good move for Richardson, Indy and Cle. Indy needed a back, Cle just needs picks, and Richardson needed to play on a team that can keep defenses honest.

As for Cameron's value.. Josh Gordon will be back this next week; which should help out Cameron.

According to Rage's retal policy listed on wiki:

RORs = hitting a country that has retalled within the last 48 hours, these are retalled 2:1 escalating


#537 retalled #796 at 9/13/13 13:32:39

#796 made a second hit on #537 at 9/15/13 3:19:39

9/13/13 13:32:39 - 9/15/13 3:19:39 == 37 hours 47 minutes

According to Rage's retal policy that would be considered a RoR.

I left qz a message on IRC about this. May as well repeat it here.

This issue is actually for all of the menu's in FFA control panel page. It comes from *i assume* the updated javascript.

The first error I noticed once I copied the html/javascript locally was that the jquery 1.10.2 was not loading correctly. The http: is missing. So I have: script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"

The next correction should be changing the actual script code from attr("checked") == true and all instances of attr to prop. I assume the old jquery that was used was pre-1.6 and pre-1.6 attr is used. However, since 1.6 (i believe may be a little off on the release numbers) prop should be used instead.


That should fix the problems. Another solution would be to not use the html input onchange function, and just use straight up jquery. Doing something like so:

$('input:checkbox[name="selectAll"]').on('change', function () {
| $(this).closest('tbody').find(':checkbox').prop('checked', this.checked);
});

Hope this helps.

He's talking to Twain who says he's in PANLV. The logical inference would be that he's waiting for PANLV to accept his app. If he sent an app to NBK, I would imagine it would have been handled by now.
