Got Anything Random To Say

Post Reply New Topic

I'm running out of clever things to say.

I need to come up with more.

Don't be silly, you will always have something keen to say.

Is there a particular reason why you have so much security and are paranoid kazanscube?

I don't even run anti virus when I run Windows, however to be fair I don't normally run Windows for more then a week on the bare metal of any of my machines anyway. No one cares, thats why most people aren't hacked. The real hackers are into government and law enforcement servers, no one cares what you do online I promise you. No level of security is going to help if a real hacker takes interest in you. My point though is unless your something big like a senator, there just isn't a point for hackers to take an interest in you.

Resisting sleep (watching movies) - bad, bad.

I'm not paranoid in the least, however I was hacked before so, I tend to be a tadbit more cautious.

lol please don't tell me you downloaded one of those 32 kilobyte movies

That and porn is the only places I have really seen viruses but I did find a few on peer to peer sites but it normally didn't get far with Linux. There was a time when I only played games that worked through wine believe it or not. With PCI passthrough I am a bit more Windows dependent but I have control of the core system so if something happens to Windows, I can just blow it away with ease and be back playing my game within about 45 minutes to an hour and half. Plus my Windows boots straight to the Steam's big picture mode so I use it almost excessively for steam gaming so viruses are unlikely.

As for Linux viruses, I am sure I probably have come across one but I never install anything on Linux outside of system repositories and compiled code.

No, my hacking experience had related to a time when I was on a social media site known as Orkut wherein, someone had gained access to my system,create a profile using said information and passed themselves off as me.Basically the bigger picture was that I wound up being mis identified as someone on the no-fly list literally. Yes, that had been resolved but at the time, I could not figure out how that came about until I had made the connection with the hacking attempt when I was on Orkut.

Anyways, I'm not fond of that happening as well, I care not for people attempting to ruin my life on financial level, though I have little money in that respect.Still, try not to find myself become bankrupt from a financial theft of such. Other than this I'm a happy-go-lucky person.

Yeah some hackers suck, I never think to do anything too malicious. I get lol that the US government gets down on that shady of a level to combat a war on information by attacking wikileaks. What is it they do that they don't want known? If it wasn't something shady why would they hide it? I can't believe our leaders are criminal now, I would like to know what George Washington would say at our current state. I don't think either presidential candidate can fix our current state of affairs nor do I think they are even remotely qualified.

I may take flak for saying this, but I think what Julian Assange has done with Wikileaks is not necessary bad, for I feel that if a government(s) does things that are horrendous on any scale or level and tries to hide it from the common populace that such should be made known. I think in Washington's time there was a greater level of both forthright and straightforwardness with people and the statesmen that represented such. These days politicians as the modern word is used just say what others want to hear not really the brutal truth.

If people's ambition is to be at the top of the hierarchy. To be the 'big boss' or some sort.
Or lack of thereof, content in simple life, being on the background...

Me? I want to be the one who have the means. To grant a grand wish of an ambitious big boss like someone's right hand or grant a simple wish of a task like a maid.

Besides, I don't see hackers as the media portrays them. Those people who do those things you see in the media are criminals, mostly script kiddies who have no real knowledge of anything.

To me, someone who has earned the right to be called a hacker is someone who has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and loves pulling things apart to learn how they work, and to see if they can be improved upon. We love electronics, circuitry, networking (computer, not social), building things (programs, computers etc.) and pulling them apart again. Repairing things. Some like Lego (dcj? )

I usually picture the typical hacker as a middle aged fattish sort of man (or woman) with a long grey beard and moustache (not the women - well, maybe ) who's always tinkering with something, has a screwdriver in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other (cigarette in the old days), a headlamp and magnifying glasses on. And TOTALLY LOST IN THEIR OWN WORLD.

I don't have facial hair by the way.

So much for the "online" Census this year. I thought it'd be easier and quicker to submit this year's Census online. But nope, on the night of the Census the website crashed and I couldn't get through. It ended up being quicker to fill out the paper form.

Never a good idea to rewrite history just cause you don't like it

Cloudy today. I'm okay with it, really.....
