My fantasies seem much less exciting but I can understand from that perspective. Cyberwarfare is definitely increasing in awareness so it will be interesting to see how that plays out in the future. The latest Equifax hack was pretty serious.
Luckily, I don't get paranoia from things that aren't in my scope. I am not significant enough to be targeted by anything outside of it. Even then, if something did happen, it might add a little intrigue.
Apparently, I have a decent amount of good traits but no motivation to make any use of them. While that sounds like I am wiping out the humble statement, it's only because I get told stuff like that. According to my wife, I am just wasting my talents. I know, inside compliments don't really count.
It's kind of frustrating from a therapy standpoint because I don't know how to explain it and externally, I look like I have my $#%^ together so they really have no idea what's going on. My simple explanation is just that I am done but obviously there is much more that I can't sort out. This whole living until your body gives up seems kind of silly, especially without the mind.

This is another terrible movie which I think is great.
Wow! I actually stayed up late watching that movie on TCM last month. The computer animations were terrible, but I kind of liked it overall. I started cracking up when the machine-boy spoke with the voice of doom at the end too

Familiar with recent wikileaks re its now impossible to trace from whence a hacker comes? I could hack you from France but make it appear I was in Australia. Scary stuff. I know nothing about this stuff so if I am speaking nonsense its because I am.
I have no formal training in it and I've never had much interest in actually doing it, but I know some people with ethical hacker training, and I've read a couple books. Maybe the funniest thing is that the image they give in the movies of one person breaking into a system entirely from scratch over a network is actually very rare, though it can happen if the security people really drop the ball.
Apparently a lot of break-ins involve some really goofy, private-eye element, like a disgruntled ex-contractor whose server access the IT guy forgot to revoke. Or you dress up as a janitor or repairman, go to a company, then trick someone into leaving you alone with access to an employee's office. One book I read even suggested dumpster-diving for old papers with personal or company information on them.
As for the tracing thing, it's not hard to do on normal, open network connections, but all you have to do to be a little untraceable is setup a proxy or a VPN. If someone really determined and with resources is trying to pinpoint you though, it gets much trickier.

This thread made me a laugh, and wonder about the sociability of schizoids who seem to do very well socializing online.
As to men's haircuts, the shaved sides and a bit longer on top is too military to me. I prefer longer hair on men. Not long, just longer. And no products - if his hair can't be controlled on its own, then go shorter. Facial stubble? Ummm, why? Just why? It neither looks good nor feels good. Would you want your girlfriend to grow her leg or underarm hair out 1/2 inch? No you would not. You like soft and silky. Well so do I. Shave that face before you come rubbing up against me. Some body hair is fine - I like hairy pits on men - but excessive hair is not good. Take care of your feet, men. Most men don't. Their feet are atrocious. Scaly, craggy, ugly yellow toenails, sandpaper heels, a fright in flipflops - no, do something to bring those claws back into line.
What was this thread supposed to actually be about?
