And as of posting time, Sony refuses to allow film to be shown....all because of this lunatic...
I think that sends the exact WRONG message to the world. I, for one, would attend the movie premiere just to show the world that Americans can't be frightened by threats...
The whole ugly affair shows just how venerable we are when it comes to cyber security.
If a movie studio can be invaded, then so could an electric company or gas pipe lines...just sayin'.

I learned something I didn't know in this short very interesting video...
This is oh so subtle...
It drives me up the wall when a cable news guy uses the word rocket when it's a missile.
A missile
is generally understood to be a weapon. A rocket need not be — consider the
various rockets used to launch satellites and astronauts into space.
In the
military all missiles have internal guidance, whereas rockets are fired and
expected to go as intended without guidance. The only difference between a
rocket and an artillery shell is the propellant.

And now a story that just came in tonight, but it is very relevant to that image.
I've mentioned many times that I hang out with some very bright college students. Sometimes I will ask one of them how they are doing and they will say something like, "Oh, you know, same old shit," or "I've been better," etc. I always remind them that they have won the life on earth lottery. They are young, white (mostly), smart, healthy, and you don't have to haul muddy water from a river in buckets just to take a bath. You don't get rained on. You have enough to eat. You can't be sold to someone else. No one is shooting at you. So, let's look at the big picture, shall we?
I met a new friend tonight. A good looking kid with two wooden hoops in his ear lobes about the size of a half dollar. When I asked him how he was, he mumbled something like, "Not so good, man." So I gave him the canned pep talk and he just looked at me for a few seconds, then he said, "Well, my daughter was born on December 1st and has never left the hospital. Today she was flown to Charleston to get a liver transplant, because her's isn't working. Then they will address the problems with her lungs."
I could but hug the guy and we both got pretty teary. I apologized for my "pep" talk and he told me not to worry. Then he promised to keep me informed. I will make sure he does.
Hell, I would have yellow carded the faker.

It all started with this pic from Australia with the caption:
"Why we check our shoes in Australia."
Then people from all over added their own...
"Why we check our shoes in Finland."
"Why we check our shoes in Chicago."
And in Colorado...
There is no such thing as bad weather...only inadequate clothing and methods of transportation.

Hamilton is credited for

It's possible that DeLorean isn't stainless steel. I was under the impression that, perhaps, the models made in '83 were just black fiberglass, but I can't confirm that anymore. However, there were still hundreds of black fiberglass versions made. They're nowhere near as common, though.
