< Come here- Imma gonna bite you right in the face

In Mississippi the railroads made instant ghost towns. When the railroad came through, towns that weren't close to the tracks withered and no serious commerce could be transacted. A similar thing happened when the interstates were built in the 50s and 60s.

I have been involved in technology security for a very long time. As far back as the mid-nineties, my contemporaries have been privately speculating that nation-states1 have been involved on the black hat side of things. Quite a lot of things just don't make sense. The numbers and sophistication of viruses and worms, the timing of zero-day attacks and the publication of China's asymmetric warfare plan called the Dragon's Spear2. Recently- there have been a number of revelations about the US National Security Agency. Specifically their involvement in the Stuxnet worm3 and allegations that they knew about the Heartbleed flaw as far back as two years ago4. Sadly- NSA and others within our goverenment have proven to be above the law and have cost the people billions in fraud, identity thief and various cyber-crimes. I hope that I haven't drifted to close to the politics thing- I didn't point fingers at guilty parties. ________________________________________ 1- Nation-States have economic, personnel and technical resources that just aren't available to individuals, groups or private companies. 2- Information Warfare: China has a Scary Plan http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htiw/articles/20120301.aspx 3- Stuxnet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet 4- NSA Knew About Heartbleed for 2 Years https://www.yahoo.com/tech/report-nsa-knew-about-heartbleed-vulnerability-for-82407088205.html

Night of the Living Cats!

the idea is that they want to grow replacement organs and they have to start simple. Imagine if your Docs could, with a couple of weeks lead time, grow a new liver based on your own DNA so it is compatible on the molecular level. If they manage it, it's a huge step and a sure fire Nobel prize.

Narcissism: it looks really stupid when you put it to music.

Where was I gonna go? Detroit? All kidding aside: this is where the war is. I'm no longer fit to be anywhere nice.

Yes- 71- my mistake. I forgot. It's amazing that the Doors went from nobody to super-group between 67-71.

Depends on your definition. If you mean playing Halo on an X-box- No. I'm from the generation of gamers that came before. We played stuff like this. Back in the eighties when I was a code jockey, I wrote a version of Guadalcanal called Island War for the PC. It was public domain so I didn't make any money off of it but it was a lot of fun.

Went through the same crap with Jim Morrison in 1975.

In Mississippi our wise politicians have passed a much needed Religious Freedom Law. Now you don't have to do anything that offends your religion. Since slavery is biblical, I'm wondering when that is going to start back up. Anyhow- here's a link to local paper :>> http://www.clarionledger.com/viewart/20140403/NEWS010504/304030023/Gov-Bryant-signs-religious-practices-bill Here is my counter attack published in the same paper today. Well... the war continues. Send lawyers, guns and money. Peace, James

Oh Great... Shelob has set up shop in my bedroom. She's got Orks hanging out to dry.

This is a scene from Case:Black in which texting is featured. This is how I handled it: ____________________________________________________________________________________
