For example, Dreadiscool has been an active member of the Minecraft forum spigotmc.org since 2013. This user’s avatar (pictured above) on spigotmc.org is an altered image taken from the 1994 Quentin Tarantino cult hit “Pulp Fiction,” specifically from a scene in which the gangster characters Jules and Vincent are pointing their pistols in the same direction. However, the heads of both actors have been digitally altered to include someone else’s faces.

Alright, so as a constant lurky dude in this thread who actually enjoys some of the political-tech conversations but also understands the justification for asking people "GTFO to D&D" here, I'm gonna go ahead and take this into my own hands and create a thread for tech/political discussion poo poo over there now.

OSI can slap people in the face with the link or something whenever somebody mentions "omg trump tweets" in here:

So is Microsoft dropping EMET because they're rolling all the features in to the base OS at some point or because they have some idiotic dream that all apps in a year will come through the Windows store and enforce opt-in for all the security features that EMET enforces? Because there's still going to be decades of legacy applications that could benefit from it

Things turned sour when Flanagan's employer fired him on November 16, 2013, for undisclosed reasons. This didn't sit well with Flanagan, who used his knowledge of the Tower Gateway Basestations he installed to access these devices and disable their ability to communicate with their respective water utility providers' upstream equipment. The former employee also changed passwords to offensive words on some TGBs.
