penguin42does asda.com look like it's lost it's css to anyone else?12:40

ali1234surveymonkey.com15:03
ali1234sorry, surveymonkey.co.uk is doing the same thing15:03
ali1234no css in firefox15:03
ali1234it looks as if ublock is blocking the css15:04
ali1234different problem with asda though15:05
penguin42but I don't have any of the blocking things15:06
popeyali1234: have you ever played rust?15:49
ali1234no15:50
ali1234popey: why do you ask?16:06
daftykinsi had some friends talking about it, so i thought i'd look up a video... it looks very basic16:08
ali1234video might be old? it's been early access for like three years16:09
daftykinsas a concept really16:53
user_9876http://adfoc.us/254295795487116:55
daftykinswhat is this...16:56
daftykinsmmhmm.16:58
penguin42http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-35953847 is very odd17:26
daftykinshrmm very light on detail17:28
penguin42yeh, as is the tweet from lancs police17:28
penguin42it's odd that they haven't been able to wake someone from Santander17:32
ali1234santander says they deactivated them. lancashire police says they haven't17:33
penguin42oh, I hadn't seen anything from Santander17:34
ali1234it's on the same article17:35
ali1234my guess is the police removed a load of skimmers, told santander, santander said "sorry we're a bank we don't work on sundays"17:35
penguin42haha17:35
daftykinssounds fair17:37
ali1234police aren't ATM engineers so they have no way of knowing if the machines are now safe to use. so they issue this tweet17:37
popeyali1234: just thought it might be a game you'd enjoy17:38
penguin42anyway, hopefully the crooks have run off to Yorkshire17:38
ali1234popey: thanks. i'm not a big fan of PvP games though17:38
knightwisepopey: once again , thanx for pointing me at Colussus, realy enjoyed that17:50
popeyyay17:50
knightwisein return I trade you : Fail Safe17:52
knightwisehttps://johendriks.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/fail-safe-what-if-w-h-o-p-p-e-r-did-fire-the-missiles-in-war-games-3/17:52
penguin42is this as in the early computer-vs-computer war film Colossus?17:53
knightwisepenguin42: correct.17:53
penguin42ooh I hadn't heard of failsafe17:53
knightwiseIts good. its a movie from the late 50's but the story is very chilling.17:54
penguin42incidentally, you do know that the one critical mistake in Wargames was that the launch codes were actually set as all 0's for 20 years?17:54
knightwiseDjeez17:55
knightwisesame thing with the auto distruct sequences for the enterprise17:56
penguin42http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/launch-code-for-us-nukes-was-00000000-for-20-years/17:56
knightwisehaven't changed since TOS17:56
penguin42oh yes, what is it again, Picard, alpha 1 alpha  or something?17:57
knightwisehttp://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Auto-destruct17:58
popeyooh, thanks knightwise18:01
popeypenguin42: yeah, I got Colossus on DVD for my birthday a few years back. I love it18:02
penguin42hmm haven't seen it for a long long time18:02
