I still find it weird that fracking is a contentious issue. S'like, there's millions and millions of dollars' worth of dino juice just sitting there, and you're going to ignore it over some unsubstantiated claims about the environment? Why.

I'm curious how keyloggers work. But, Googling "How to write a keylogger" seems like a Bad Idea^tm.

It's normally just a process that waits for keyboard input at the OS level (as opposed to window level) and chucks it in a file.

You could say that they.... log keys.

Jesus, I've become the exact kind of college age, nonspecifically anti-system, all-talk-no-walk wannabe anarchist anti-corporate-yet-still-hopelessly-consumerist neo-hippie fucktard that I used to make fun of.

Pretty much, just sit there reading the input buffer, and whenever something new pops up they log it into a file. Then once a week or so they connect to the internet (often at a time when you won't be using your computer so you don't notice the slowdown, such as 4 am) and upload the file to whatever server they are sending all the stolen data to.

It's called becoming a student. Embrace your hipsterism, buy a nice hat, enjoy the ride.

Because environment?

Okay, serious answer. Fracking fluid either stays in the ground (poisoning groundwater) or evaporates (poisoning the air).

[Helgoland]

Is it all that poisonous, though?

The better argument would be a climate change one, I think.

Well, the exact composition of most fracking chemicals are protected as "trade secrets". I'd err on the side of not drinking mystery chemicals provided by Exxon, though.

Also I was going to look up something funny but totally lost my train of thought.

Because in at least some places where its done people end up with sludge coming out of their facets.

That's their own fault for living in oil feilds

Was that a misspelling of 'faucets' or 'faces'?

Ugh, I forgot to change the settings on the coffee vendor and now my 'everything is terrible' comfort coffee is stupid sweet instead of lovely bitter chocolate and coffee. Bleeh.

I'm glad someone other than me stepped into correct him.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only sane one around here.


Current Mildsads: I can't actually put my finger on quite why I'm feeling sad at the moment. I mean, as usual there are plenty of reasons for me to feel sad, but thinking about it I don't believe any of them are the cause of this current spike in sadness. Perhaps it has something to do with my extreme lack of social skills and resulting awkwardness, even when interacting with housemates and friends.

Not entirely sure, though. That doesn't usually bother me very much.
