Re: Secret Backdoor Found in Major Linux Distros
This is really a huge deal. Over a 3 year period, a group of talented programmers (probably employed by Russia or China) plotted to get into a position where they could insert complex code into open source projects to undermine the security of millions of people and corporations globally. They got c...

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now
I've written three novels that deal with AI out of control or the misuse of AI. I am not comforted by the technology, especially considering the kinds of people involved in their programming. I wanted to see where the artificial intel systems were on the political spectrum so I asked questions to t...

Hackers phishing for info. I delete them every day without opening. If you do not know the sender do not open the SMS or email, mark as spam and delete.

Re: Happy Easter!... And your carry today - ?
Forgive me for not whipping out my cell phone to take a picture, but every day for the last year or longer my every day carry has been one or more knives, and always includes a Spyderco Native Chief in S90V.

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread
Where to start? Decent video. I'm uncomfortable following guys like football player Aaron Rogers or Joe Rogan because they are known for drug use or the legalization of drugs. I have my reasons for my position, you do whatever you will with them. I look at Joe Rogan as a one time small player in UF...

Re: Street Bowie sheath dulls edge.
NOPE, not the hard sheaths, these are soft to the touch nylon sheaths and should not dull a knife. I do not even want a plastic liner in the nylon sheath. They generally are not as pretty to look at as a hard plastic/kydex/nylon sheath but I'd wear them under an untucked shirt, horizontally on my b...

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now
I’d like to pose a question to you folks on a message from a company I received. I really wonder if it was a canned AI response. I received an email last year from a well known company about my account. I don’t have an account with this company. They must be aware of bogus accounts being set up usi...

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now
It is amazing the way artificial intelligence has taken off. They are throwing number like $100 billion and $7 trillion for development costs...what the heck!

If you like FACTS based on research and summarized by AI, and not drivel from the Internet like most AI systems then try Consensus.

Re: Street Bowie sheath dulls edge.
The Spyderco Forums are excellent...and I apologize if any of my prior responses came off harsh. I forget we are not sitting around a campfire having a beer shooting the breeze, and I read what I say many months later and wish I had taken a year of Emily Post's "Friendly Communications and Hap...

Re: What Cell Phone Music or Radio App Do You Really Like?
It's excellent to post alternatives and the reasons why certain apps are better than others. The sites are targeting certain people. So far Pandora and Spotify Premium sound excellent to me for walks and yard work. One of these days I might get back into serious listening using a portable system wit...
