I don’t call them cyber-criminals or hackers. They are terrorists. They should be hunted down like terrorists. If it means launching a tactical drone strike on a house in eastern Europe then do it. Damaging the industrial and commercial systems of another country is potentially an act of war. Holding the databases of the national health service t…[Read more]

Have a great week everyone!

It is not the business of a government of a free society to tell individuals or private businesses what they can peacefully and honestly do with data peacefully and honestly obtained.

Who is more likely to enhance the freedom of society? The Government or private business? Who is most likely to act responsibly to keep that free society free?  If…[Read more]

All religion is a foolish answer to a foolish question. – Thomas Shelby, from the Peaky fucking Blinders.

If they would only listen to me 🙂

Yes, I know. I am not really in any disagreement with the points made. I once had a placement agency for a specialized sector and often had over 500 resumes on file as the work was mostly for short term placements and I had to check them for future placements that may have needed specialist technical qualifications. But if you left the agency your…[Read more]

@TheEncogitationer – To start with I would never accept a job with a company that did not hire me the first time. I would never re-apply to the same company. If I was not good enough for them the first time then they will never be good enough for me after that. Even if they did offer me another post it would most likely be months later, when I may…[Read more]

@theEncogitationer – I have used similar arguments in the past. I was threatened with arrest in my polling booth from asking why Bibles were displayed on the desks where voters collected their ballot paper from. This was just a local election but I know it would be repeated on the day of the Marriage Referendum. I was asked by security if I was a…[Read more]

Here is a common example of GPDR and the “right to be forgotten” in Europe.

I apply for a position in a commercial company by emailing them my resume. I am unsuccessful in my application and do not start working with this company. They keep my resume on file in their HR Dept.

Under the rules of GDPR, they no longer have a right to retain my per…[Read more]

@Jakelafort – if you are looking for your umbrella, I, the unjust, have it.

“The rain it raineth on the just
And also on the unjust fella;
But chiefly on the just, because
The unjust hath the just’s umbrella.”

Have a great week everyone!!

@Jakelafort – I have a good vaporizer that I bought in Calif. I hardly notice the hit. I don’t smoke too much of it (Just the right amount!!), maybe once a month now or even less. I only consume good weed and never buy off the street. I grow my own or know the farmer who has years of experience. Like I said before, I have been a regular consumer…[Read more]

Happy 80th Birthday to Bob Dylan.

It ain’t me Babe by Bettye LaVette

To Ramona by Sinead Lohan

All along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix

And a Happy 90th Birthday to Captain Kirk who still boldly goes there.

And my favorite of his for showing me, in 1986, to flow with the thoughts in my head when I smoke good weed.

Now turn the volume up to 1…[Read more]

The design dept. seem to have captured the correct facial expression and hairstyle in the prototype. Pretty much on the button there.

Future generations with faster ships will just pass them by….

If anyone else asks me if we are nearly there yet….I’ll put them back into the cryogenic chamber!!

Here is one of my fav posts about the Fermi Paradox.

Yes, Dr. Michael Salla is one of a legion of nutjobs and shysters that haunt our planet. Even his dog Ralph has left him.

I understand the next census here will include questions about gender rather than just an M or F tick-box for sex. The questions are not compulsory.  I have not seen the format of proposed changes to the questions so I may not be fully correct in my interpretation.

About 30 years ago Ireland changed. No longer was the priest, bank manager or…[Read more]
