Comment Make it a game... with classified intel. (Score 5, Interesting) 55

A couple years ago, one of the base security officers in charge of making sure all his SP's/MP's/security guys/whatevers knew where everything (classified) was and how to get there fast... Including the big boys... aka nukes. So naturally to make it fun and interactive to stimulate learning, he dumped all the questions (and answers) into Kahoot, the Norwegian online trivia engine. (Or one similar to it).

My way of saying I'm a little wary of some of these officers using this stuff.

Same thing when I tried to get rid of Sirius the second time. They were billing a soon-to-expire credit card and it was such a pain in the ass to cancel the first time, I just let it expire. They then billed me for "continuity of service" for an extra month and threatened collections on me.

Yeah but Solution (actual) caveats are: "You don't really own the content. We can erase it from our service, and thus your computer or device at some point in the future with no recourse available to you because copying it is illegal or technically infeasible." And guess how many of the assholes are lining up to make sure that stops.

Comment Re:Why I stopped going to movies (Score 1) 183

Soap Operas did not suffer from evil twin or amnesia stories. In the same way, "genre"/"pop culture"/comic book/star * movies lend themselves to the fantastical plot-lines like multiverse, resurrection, and time-travel. Where else are you going to put it? Farrelly brothers comedies? That's how you get Hot Tub Time Machine.
