Comment I wonder (Score 0) 79

I wonder. Has anyone even remotely considered that 'blind' people may not be blind and may actually see - but because the way they see is so remarkably different than your definition, you interpret this lack of being able to see 'like you' as blindness?

Do they see characters like Neo does in the Matrix? Do they see n dimensions and you're stuck in 4 (x,y,z+time)? Does your mind simply not know how to interpret their vision and as a result, you keep on plodding down this (boring) storyline that they are more like you than not?

Comment Weird. (Score 0) 480

Ya missed one of my favorites, "Vrilliance".

Weird. I'm not even getting it on Google either.

In any case, easily my favorites.

Along the same lines, except here on Earth - and while it was a bit more out of control and hopeless for the explorers - I enjoyed the heck out of Slider's as well, Although I am convinced Quinn Mallory was actually initially lured into the device by his evil twin brother who assumed his life.

And again similar, with the exception of how mean it seemed to be placing the lead character - against his will - into unpredictable female and male forms involuntarily - was Quantum leap with Scott Bakula,

I mean. like the show Vrilliance, it wouldn't suck to 'play the part' of a female just to 'feel what it felt like' - but to be slipping and sliding willy nilly to these other forms and places like in these shows would drive me absolutely insane!

Comment SONY hacked? NOT Quite! You’re welcome! (Score 0) 236

You’ve heard of the Sony Hack, right?

Ok, ok, I’m laughin me arse off over here.

I do SO enjoy a good practical joke sometimes!

About two weeks ago, I logged into equipment in Japan where all internet based communication goes through.

All traffic in Asia to the United States goes through Japan.

I had still had administrative access to the equipment I had worked with when I was sent to Hong Kong and Singapore to optimize networks and software systems for both the NSA and for Prudential Real Estate and Relocation which Warren Buffet was in the process of purchasing.

In a relatively simple computer program I placed on the equipment which is used to communicate between Sony and the United States, I created something called a ‘spoofed’ log entry.

A spoofed log entry is a ‘fictionalized’ entry which has not really happened.

Anytime information was grabbed from Sony by legitimate users, I would randomly place a spoofed log entry which would make it appear like information was being sent to North Korea.

In a nutshell what this means is data was never stolen.

It took Sony’s administrators 3 days to figure out what happened.

By then, they were so mired in their lies they could not change course.

In any case.

NOTHING I DID was illegal.

I had legitimate administrative access to the equipment which have had little, if any maintenance since I last did work on them in 2009.

And since the administrators of this equipment have had little, if any, awareness of what’s going on with their equipment let alone how their systems work.

THAT, my friends, is what a homeless hacker does when he’s bored and penniless.

Comment Homeless (Score 0) 398

After 20 some odd years in the biz, I've been homeless for about 3 years now.

In large part, you can thank H1B workers for this.

People like me need options. Not necessarily to rejoin 'this level' of employment, but maybe to engage in the workplace in different facets than previously offered.

This is NOT to say I am against H1B. But what I am advocating is providing options for those it displaces, which right now, these H1Bs are causing a systemic backlash against them that they simply are not prepared to handle.

Yup. That's a threat.

Sometimes, I can't help but laugh at the really really really funny spin put on things.

"You know, this hasn't happened yet, but we can imagine it and now we WANT to give terrorists ideas because we're that freakin bored with life"

Not realizing most people just don't freakin care to terrorize the population as much as those inventing these really inane, mindless stories keep trying to sell.
