not1ofUon Four-year-old Israeli child tests positive for polio, first case since 1989

If this is how you treat your friends, then you dont deserve to have any. If one of those people ends up killing themselves, then you should understand that you may have had a hand in that.

not1ofUon Prose Painter

I guess I'm not seeing something from the demo, everytime I press start, I get a message - "You must apply the prose-paint to the painting first!"

I watched the demo from the tweet above and I think I am doing it correctly.

Edit - I am using an old version of chrome - which was the problem.

not1ofUon Transcript: Vladimir Putin’s Televised Address on Ukraine

Spot the typo:

It later turned out that all of that was a fake and a sham, and that Iraq did not have any chemical weapons."

not1ofUon On the removal of Come Back Alive

If anyone has a twitter account (I do not), would be worth mentioning in that thread, to those who are deleting their accounts, to also formally request to have their personal data removed, this would give them a massive pain in the balls (if they complied that is).

Watched this documenatry [0] about the re-development (reboot) of "Killer Instinct":

Description from the link below:

not1ofUon Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?

You might be able to run a virtual instance of Android (on a PC), and use wireshark to capture the traffic, and maybe burpsuite if you want to get spicey. I think, I am no expert.

I wish you luck.

not1ofUon The Banality of Genius: Notes on Peter Jackson's Get Back

TIL what that actually means (the wiki bit below). Its also the name of a hearing aid company in Ireland [0], making it even more ironic. Pretty sure this is where the name originated from.

Found out that (according to wikipedia)[1]:

"is an alteration of bonavox, a Latin word which translates to "good voice"."

not1ofUon Opt Out of Cynicism

Thanks man. I dont do social media at all. I signed up here not too long ago. I have lurked here for a long time and learnt so much, decided it was time to take part.

I have thought about not giving a shit and "letting the downvotes flow", but then I would become the kind of poster I would not want to read either. and that Dang chap has lot more to deal with, than me getting butthurt.

Cheers though, I do appreciate it.

not1ofUon Opt Out of Cynicism
