I hope he said that in a friendly way, because if he didn’t, I’d love to take him on, just like I take everybody else on. So I hope he remains loyal, and if he doesn’t, let me know and I’ll attack him. | | | | Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. 1999.

| | rantnrave:// The hacks should scare us. Nation states can hack with such force and sophistication they can cause real world damage and death. That's right. It may start in cyberspace but real world destruction is a reality. Infrastructure. Travel. Financial institutions. All vulnerable. Hackers are stealing content from HOLLYWOOD and demand ransoms. They find security exploits on websites and want bitcoin payments to reveal them. They steal private photos and publish them. Confidential business information not in the public interest is on WIKIPEDIA. I've mentioned ALEX GIBNEY 's documentary ZERO DAYS many times. Please see it ASAP. It's about the STUXNET virus and its origins. He discusses it here with CHARLIE ROSE. The film also explores how dangerous the secrecy around cyber warfare is. The longer nations don't take responsibility the longer there's barely a vague public discussion about the issues. The doc points out that nuclear proliferation didn't slow down until academics starting writing about the concerns and thus a public debate began. The only upside of all these hacks (from individuals to nation state quasi-military/intelligence perpetrators) is the possibility that a public dialogue can begin and we get some accords between nations. That would be a great step forward but then we also have to contend with individuals and hacker gangs whose motivations range from profit to destruction. You don't need an army to wage a war anymore. And yes, it starts off digitally but can go analog real fast. It's a major danger of our time that affects our safety and prosperity. All I do is put covers on my webcams... Movie and TV wardrobes are the result of research, craft, communication, and style. Go behind the scenes with costume designers on how they've created some of movie and TV's most memorable looks in FashionSET: "In Character: Costume Designs for Movies/TV"... I'd like to curl up by the fire with a good blanket during a snow storm at MINNIE’S HABERDASHERY... You could waterboard me and I wouldn't wear this... The impeachment of ANDREW JOHNSON (1868)... The COMEY notes revealed... Build smart CMS systems. Not just data inputs... Happy Birthday to JONATHAN GLICKMAN, JENNIFER MILLER BROWN, LAURA BENJAMIN, JOE MICHAELS, JON DUBE, and SUZI MATTHEWS. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
