Scan it if you can

This is literally supposed to be a camouflaged photo, but there aren't many things that pattern is going to blend into.

As always, don't underestimate your adversary and don't let your guard down. I'm sure these were just demonstrations of what the dog can do, but the fact seems to remain that the dog can do these things.

Termination gives you more time to chase that Snorlax

from here and here

You're supposed to be able to rely on authorities to serve, protect, and just generally do the right thing. That's kind of their job. If they want to play video games all day, they should get a job doing that - and who knows, maybe they will now that they're not stuck in a patrol car anymore.

I don't know about you but I would still hop the banister if I wanted to get through. I'd give it a good shake first, mind you, but the threat of falling down the stairs isn't enough to deter me.

As infuriating as this is, I understand why sites have to do it. Giving this kind of information could help attackers. 

But you know what? This is hypocritical, because the security community gives helpful info to attackers all the time in the form of vulnerability research and proof of concept attack tools. It's almost like they have no problem erring on the side of caution when it's just inconveniencing average users, but throw that caution to the wind when it might inconvenience other security folks.
