@Tsaukpaetra I'm thinking I'll set one like that to just piss off recruiters.

Odds on how long before I block them?
Just keep agreeing to the interviews, and then never show up. You have no skin in the game, but the agency's reputation is on the line. They'll stop calling you eventually.

@anonymous234 passwords aren’t for physical access.
Some definitely are. Consider your phone's PIN for example.
If they’ve got physical access, they don’t need it to do literally anything they want.
Not entirely true. With things like hardware encryption and other countermeasures (remember the "chassis open" feature?) you can get quite a bit of local security.
I seem to recall a certain case where the FBI (allegedly) couldn't decrypt an iPhone...Administrative passwords are a firewall against compromised code running in unprivileged accounts
Windows developed a better system. It shows a window with buttons "yes" and "no" that processes can't click for you.

If a process is already running with admin privileges, you won't get that window

It appears so. This is the contents of one such cookie:
I guess it just assumes that you'd close your browser every once in a while before it became a problem, they're set to delete when the session ends.

He sort of gummed it a bit. It was a very soggy mouse. If Joss was a human he'd be special-needs, very affectionate though.

Mice are usually soggy to touch irks me quite a bit. Also, you have an affectionate cat? My cats treat me like a slave all the time except when they need food.

Yep, he's a proper lap cat. Will curl up on you and purr all evening if you let him, he'll also meow to be cuddled. My female, Poppy, is much more aloof, you may get a rub up against your legs but only if she's feeling generous. Definitely no lap sitting or picking up for her.

I wish, the only action was mouse-catching action but couldn't get back to sleep after all that excitement. Going to bed at 1am in the first place is my fault though.
But yeah load the fuck up on some caffeine.
Way ahead, think this is coffee 4. In my TDWTF mug too, although the logo has long since worn off.

There isn't a universal cat language. Cats learn that humans think meows are cute and that by meowing they can get stuff. Clever little bastards.
Basically every cat picks up a different "language" based on what sounds it tries making and which ones its human slave responds to.

This is so bloody typical of my parents.
They are visiting me for a few days, which involves a handful of 100km of driving. In Europe. There is cellphone coverage, like, everywhere. And it's not like they aren't passing by several largeish cities on their way. They probably carry like 4 different devices that are capable of communications over the cellphone networks. Yet, I've not been able to reach them all day, except for getting a cryptic message that says that they are at $place (far far behind schedule according to my estimates), and that communication is impossible.
So, of course, I'm not worried at all.
(And I know that when I get to hear why they couldn't send me a message or something, I'm going to face palm so hard that I'm going to have a headache all weekend. Probably held their cellphones backwards or something.)

@cvi This happens every time and I have tried telling my parents I worry when they re unreachable for a long time. Its always one wtfy facepalm worthy reason or the other. Put a GPS tracker on the vehicle? Looks like Overkill but the mental peace is worth it I suppose?
