Does anyone else enjoy classic movies? I'm a huge fan of Turner Classic Movie

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Yes, especially those from the 1930's.

Anti-intellectual movements make me rage!

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Probably the flat-earthers.

27 episodes by AronRa explaining evolution.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

AronRa is the man!

Bill Maher

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

While he says things that I agree with, he can be really obnoxious at times though.

Flat Earther relative?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

I tend to ignore folks like that.

Am I the only one that thinks the world was better before smartphones, fb, social media etc ?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

I miss the 1980's and 90's...

And how old are we?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Oh sh--, I remember those...

This weather is very iffy, it's kind of cool today and this weekend too.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Iffy? How so?

Ending phone conversations with loved ones is always awkward for me.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Haha.

I really don't like Organic.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

I agree.

Interesting.

Secular groups in Vermont, or close enough for jazz.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Will do.

This is not Security but just came to mind in another thread.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

All good, this group isn't just for security, it's also for related tech news etc.

Where does YOUR self-worth come from?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

It comes from within, a desire to achieve and a drive to continue learning. Goals are the foundation, and my loved ones help and give me the inspiration to carry on.

Fantastic movie about female Greek scientist Hypatia and colleagues murdered by fanatic Christians ...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Agora was an excellent movie.

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Haha, good one.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Indeed it is.

Any GISHers out there?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Can't say I have.

Some text.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Oh righty then...

It's after midnight here, and so it is officially my birthday.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Happy birthday Browneyedlady! I'm glad to hear you are going to start to put your needs first before secondary considerations. I hope you enjoy your special day, relax and renew.

Seriously! Seriously, if Honey Boo Boo’s mom can find boyfriends, why can’t I find one?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

You might not be looking in the right places for men that share your same interests. Adding social events to one's calendar could also put you on the scene and get noticed. From a man's point of view, not every guy is impressed with college education, and some of the most intelligent people I know never even attended college. Keep trying, I'm confident you'll find a good match eventually, good luck.

Weird comfort foods

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

I don't recall eating any weird food combinations, but one time I remember my father told me as a kid he sometimes ate pieces of bread with just ketchup on it.

Literature

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

The holy babble and the koran. Reading them turned me into an atheist.

STINGRAY SPY DEVICES- A THREAT TO YOUR DIGITAL PRIVACY: This is an important issue everyone ...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Details on these spying devices first leaked to the public back in 2013 after a drug deal involving three men raised the suspicions of some advocacy groups. In short, two men made an arrangement with a drug dealer to meet in person, and once they met up the two men robbed the drug dealer at gun point and ran off. The suspects were caught and brought into custody, and sufficient evidence was present to convict them of the crime. The curious part however that caught the attention of some and in this case the defense attorney, was how quick the police were able to identify and locate the suspects in a rather short amount of time. When the two suspects went to court for the first time, the defense attorney starting asking questions that made the prosecution uneasy. There was a minimum three years and a maximum of thirty years in prison for armed robbery that involved drugs in that case, and with all the evidence against the defendants it would have seemed the prosecution had the case lock stock and barrel. In the end, the defendants were offered a plea bargain consisting of just a couple years of probation. A stingray was used illegally to obtain the locations and phone/text conversations of the two defendants, and Law Enforcement knew that if the case went to trial the defense would have pressured the prosecution on details about how the police were able to locate the suspects so quickly, and details on the Stingray would had to have been revealed. The police did not want that to happen, so they pressured the prosecutor to give them a plea bargain that avoided jail time. It is important to note that the Federal Government was involved as well, and groups like the NSA FBI and CIA work closely with LE in most states in making sure the details of such surveillance tools are not made known to the general public. There have been enough documented cases of potentially dangerous criminals that were released back onto the streets or given good plea deals to protect this secret, just to defend a LE tactic that serves as a work around due process and separation of power barriers. IMSI catchers operate in both active and passive modes. Some active mode operations are extracting stored data such as the cell carrier, force an increase in signal transmission power, interception of communication(s) content, tracking and locating devices, execute a denial of service attack, encryption key(s) extraction, and radio jamming. Using over-the-air signals to identify cell sites and map coverage areas is about the only passive mode operation. So summed up, stingray devices can interrupt and ultimately cut-off communications on targeted devices and extract data even when said devices are locked. To date, there is not much one could do to protect mobile devices from ...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 27, 2018:

I think there already has been backlash against us, consistent backlash for the past decade or so, but conceivably the theists could get more venomous in their approach.

Great responses to my first post.
