Years ago, police discovered that the timer clock guy at the old Montreal Forum was very flexible as far as starting/stopping the clock went. Turns out it had something to do with gambling, maybe the 50/50 draw, I forget. He knew when to start or stop the clock in order to avoid paying out on a goal or penalty time that some poor soul had chosen. But there's no betting on college b-ball, right?
For all of Apple's defiance of DOJ's requests for access to customer accounts, they did the same thing as Amazon a few years ago. I can't find the details right now but it involved a tech writer, he may have written for Wired. The hacker was able to access the guy's account very easily by providing very little real information. Years ago someone at Bell Canada was using my name as a reference for many new accounts. I kept getting calls from collection agencies asking if I knew such and such person. It was only after I put a password on my account that the calls stopped. Maybe this is a simple way of preventing this kind of identity theft.
If someone farts in another country, the media shouts 'terrorism'. Why did it take a week or so for the media to call this a terrorist event? Were they waiting for the government to OK it? Was the media being discreet? Since when does the media wait for confirmation on anything? Might it be because with all of the invasions of your privacy, no government department really knows what's going on? Admitting this was a terrorist attack is admitting failure of the invasion of your privacy. This isn't a gun control issue, unfortunately. Wish it was but it's not. Sandy Hook was, this isn't. Just as the FBI and Homeland Security lie to us about how they've quashed events like this, this single event proves that the billions spent on invading your privacy didn't do sh*t. Money out the window while basic, standard policing should have intercepted the terrorists and prevented this event.
I would strongly suspect that EFS has have a backdoor that Microsoft would give up immediately upon request. Same for any and all cloud storage. Also, Windows 10 is offered for free which means that someone else is paying Microsoft for the data that this OS collects by default. It's like "Here, take this free stuff so we can keep track of everything you do." Has Microsoft ever given away anything for free? Not that I can remember.
I just finished the original ST series on Netflix and it's amazing what I missed the first few times. Besides the wonderfully diverse crew and the first interracial kiss (supposedly) here are a few things I didn't notice before:
In By Any Other Name, they didn't kill the black guy first. Rojan crushes crewman Harrison but reconstitutes crewman Shea. That was probably a first too.
Smoke: lots of cigarette/tobacco smoke rolling in from the sidelines, very evident in whatever high def Netflix shows it in.
A piece of cord held by Frank Gorshin in Let That Be Your Last Battlefield to keep him the correct distance from the rolling camera as he chases Lokai around the Enterprise. Maybe the actor who played Lokia held it too, can't remember.
