water4ll: i sent shoe on head pic to him via pm
mircea_popescu: "it too :)" alligns with "probably" on the next line in my view. so i just read over krs and thus it formed one line.
water4ll: mircea_popescu: I think it's time
mircea_popescu: be glad i don't accidentally insert nudes in rndom tech articles or something.
mircea_popescu: why, because i'm doing fifty things that;s why.

nubbins`: when i lived in korea, my bank required that i ran an activex control, had a cookie stored on a usb thumb drive, and asked for two separate five-digit codes from a list of about 50 that were provided as a wallet-sized card
