    NFC so that your card can be scanned and cloned without you even realizing it. Then some shoulder surfing and you are toast.

    You would never have guessed that.

    A telepath can't cure an addiction.

  5. Re: Sad news on Babylon 5 Actor Jerry Doyle Dies (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    The love/hate relation of G'Kar/Garibaldi/Mollari with all the conspiracies and occasional seasoning with Bester is part of what made the show interesting. But even other characters were important even if they actually were more replaceable.

    Sometimes an actor is just right for the role, so to the degree that the role is tuned to the actor.

  6. Re: Hopefuly he didn't succumb to Garibaldi's issu on Babylon 5 Actor Jerry Doyle Dies (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Having problems with alcohol is probably why he also did the Garibaldi role so good.

    As for Conaway he had severe back pains forcing him on drugs, which plauged him.

    John Wayne did smoke quite a lot too, so did a lot of people at the time so cancer isn't a surprise.

  8. Re: Sinclair said it: on Babylon 5 Actor Jerry Doyle Dies (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Well, at least they didn't let it go out over the show. And O'Hare had some paranoid problems so I can imagine that he might have been a bit of a problem off the set. That's why Boxleitner came in, to allow O'Hare to get treatment. Unfortunately it wasn't entirely successful. And for those that haven't experienced the dark side it's hard to understand.

  9. Re: Statistical anomalies... on Babylon 5 Actor Jerry Doyle Dies (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Star Trek had a smaller cast, and we don't know how many extras that have passed away.

    Katsulas did some Star Trek too b.t.w.

    What was great with B5 was how the characters developed, they weren't static.

    If doing new stuff in the B5 universe then it's better to have the original remaining cast just doing guest appearences. But some in the original that were junior can have risen to new positions. Doing a remake is not going to be good. Better to catch up on threads found in the original.

    Some more about the origins of technomages, the years following the drakh plauge - and did someone finally take care of the drakh considering that Vir didn't seem to be burdened by them?

    I'm a bit surprised that there are so little fan movies on B5 made too.

    By the standards of today it's clunky, but for the time it was good. And it was used in a good way too where it didn't become intrusive to the story.

    It's slow either because the retailer has a bad connection to the payment service/bank or that the payment service/bank is slow.

    Here in Sweden we sometimes experience lag in the transactions whenever there's a large holiday with a lot of shopping going on. Not a big deal though.

  16. I don't believe it until I see it for real, and the push for Win 10 had made me wary of any update from Microsoft.

    I just worry that they will release an "update" that cripples Win 7 soon.

    And certificates can be cloned, so they aren't really good.

    A security token not connected physically to a computer and protected by a pin code is still the best alternative.

    I can agree that SMS authentication is not really good now that most phones can be compromised. However the alternative of having biometrics is not good either since fingerprints can be cloned, and so can eye irises. Or you can go full "Demolition Man" on it too.

    Empty ballot or not voting is bad because then they can claim that you just don't care about politics and want to be ruled. That's why it's important to vote on the alternative that you think is least evil.
