Interesting email I got with a bit of interesting history.

I have said it for years, the two party system is what is left over from the Great Compromise that maintained and equal number of Slave and Free States, thus preventing any real change. -
Not seen this posted here yet. Check out the First review of this TV on Amazon. Titled Financing Available! However the questions and other reviews and replies are good as well. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN105S9-Curved-105-Inch-Ultra/dp/B00L403O8U PS if you have 1 click buy enabled be careful, they have 1 in stock. But if you do, well we will all be at your place for the big games.

Discovering you are missing 50 to 70 irreplaceable guns (serials like 000001) and probably just got off the phone with the boss back home. I will give them a break.

Employment Background Checks? How do you find what is out there?
vontar replied to R_Bert's topic in General Chat
FYI, you can get a free credit report from all 3 reporting companies once a year. Time it right and you can get a free one every 4 months I believe. On step 2. you can pick I believe all 3 or just one at a time. "Request your credit reports from Equifax, Experian or TransUnion." I try to monitor my credit. I also froze my credit so people can't open lines of credit with out my pin. Just to get a truck loan, I had to unfreeze one of them. I ask the Credit union which one they wanted and I only unfroze it. to be fully effective, one would need to freeze at all 3, It did cost me much either. Here is 1 link. http://www.experian.com/consumer/security_freeze.html If you have been a victim of Identity fraud, I believe it was a free service (or cheaper) This is a reminder, I need to pull one this year on myself -

I had a guy at work also recommend KeePass. I can't come up with any wahy someone got my account password for my email. I am glad it was a different username/password combo then anything else I use. I will admit that password had not been changed in years since I barely ever used the Comcast email I read that some Comcast accounts got compromised in Feb 2014, it is possible mine was among them and someone just got around to trying it. I had my wife reset hers as well just in case.

Gunshot fired by state wildlife officer during hunter safety course

I admit, I had to use Al Gore's infernal machine but found scese to fool or trick someone with ease http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=scese So maybe they did that in the video for show to get people talking. :P -

"well known East Tennessee gun shop with a range" call them out on it, maybe just a paying customer wasn't enough to get them to understand. Or if you feel safe enough going back video it on your cell phone and post it. -
TN Gun Deaths exceed car deaths in 2013 ..... (right....)

"Lies, damned lies, and statistics" is a phrase describing the persuasive power of numbers, particularly the use of statistics to bolster weak arguments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies,_damned_lies,_and_statistics -
My first thought was someone at comcast, however Ebay captured the IP address of where it came from, I traced it and it went to North of South Carolina. But as IP's change it might or might not be the person. I don't suppect brute force either since they had to gain access to my comcast. Also I don't use that password for anything else and barely used comcast email. I had been using it more in the past week then in the past 6 months though. Been checking my PC for virus' and spyware, so far, clean.

Only the floor was hit. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/watchful-eye/gunshot-fired-by-state-wildlife-officer-during-hunter-safety-course_36500624 Mag first then clear. However, the Carry weapon should not even be considered part of any demonstration. If you have to stop and unload to demonstrate, consider another option. Also just a reminder, it just take a moment to make a mistake.

watching. I am in the same boat and area. I also have verizon but considering trying Spirit. I plan to say with a Galaxy as mine about a 4 year old Galaxy Nexus now.

They used the good stuff on us, the 3 in 1. "SABRE pepper spray combines Red Pepper, CS Military Tear Gas and UV Dye for maximum stopping power." It packs a 1 2 punch of both CS and Red Pepper really gets you and cleans out your nose better the any decongestant on the market.

Where I work we use RSA Secure Keyfob and recently started upgrading to RSA Software tokens. Very good and secure. A person has a PIN that they pick, plus the randomly generated token. The hardware ones last 60 seconds, the software ones last 30 seconds. As we have been using them for over 10 years, I thought by now my bank would at least have them as an option. Heck I would pay for that type of security. I even had one for My online Starwars game.

Might have been Sunday after Church. I am sure they are all good boys when people talk about them on the news.

I have never used spaces and often wondered if they would count as symbols. I believe spaces would certainly make them more secure. 1 @m @ m@st3r @7 U5ing numbers in place of L3773rs. By the way, I tested "My w1fe 1s a gun nut" at the password test site, It would take a desktop PC about A sextillion years to crack your password Length: 20 characters Character Combinations: 81 Calculations Per Second: 4 billion Possible Combinations: 147 undecillion

The only thing to make this thread better would be the video. Never been tased myself, but after experiencing pepper spray, I would volunteer for tasing to avoid the pepper. I don't want to burn a second time.

Just a reminder for anyone that hasn't in a while, confirm you are using secure/strong passwords. Last night I found my ebay account had been hijacked I got on the phone with Ebay , no waiting to talk to a rep either. She sounded like she was from India but had a very nice voice with no heavy accent. She was a treat to work with and got me fixed up. Long story short, I opened ebay to check on some items I had won the day before. Thanks to internet Cookies my computer just opened ebay. I found messages from ebay in my inbox inside ebay that my account password had been changed and my a second one that my email address had been changed. Neither of which was done by me. I try to keep as many account separated and different passwords as I can Also I had checked my email for the address that was linked to Ebay and I didn't have those emails there. I knew from the past any changes like that ebay and others will commonly send copies to the current address in case of fraud. After I was done talking with email and I had changed both my Comcast and Ebay passwords, both different, I checked the trash can in my Comcast, it was empty as well. I then checked the Recover deleted items inside the trash can and found those emails from Ebay had been deleted and trash can emptied. Thus proof someone had been inside my Comcast Email. I don't really use that address for anything, no banking or anything like that. So my Comcast\Ebay\Palpay passwords have all been reset, even my TGO account which is on a separate email account outside of Comcast has been reset. As an IT person, it pains me to say that the password on my Comcast account email hasn't been changed in years and certainly wasn't up to what is considered strong or secure. Well it is now. Also what I set as passwords last night I am going to change again today, even though they are strong, I am going to make them very strong. I did call Comcast and report it as well Lesson learned, they always gets in though the weak point. Appears they got access to my Comcast email account, then requested to change my ebay account information Also ebay added some extra security on their side with my account. We found no activity on my account, it is like they took over but had not got around to trying to buy or sell anything. also no activity on my paypal account. I didn't have anything else linked to my Comcast address, but I will be checking my other accounts as well. Links https://howsecureismypassword.net/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPphyjkXnPc

I am still confused over what this Good Men Gathering 3 percent or III or what ever it is.

I can't decide, that is either a good impression of a politician or of a talking head on some random news channel.
