Any chance of spleen being a dock for this?

I’d love to host it there, but it’s not my decision. The creator of this cut hasn’t been active for quite awhile, and for whatever reason never commented on it as an option. I don’t really want to go against his wishes, not everything here ends up on MySpleen, and usually for a reason.

The problem is as far as I know, these CIA weapons have been compromised and are out there. So they’re a danger no matter what. I think the public ought to know about invasive surveillance software that can be used against them. The government owes it to their citizens to let them know what they’re doing, they shouldn’t be able to “go rogue”, one could say.

Wikileaks: CIA has tools to snoop via TVs

Other claims say the CIA:

  • was trying to find ways to infect vehicles’ computer control systems. Wikileaks claims these might *have been used for undetectable assassinations
  • had found ways to infect “air-gapped” computers - machines that are not linked up to the internet or other insecure networks. Methods are said to have included hiding data in images or hidden parts of computer storage
  • had developed attacks against popular anti-virus products
  • had built up a library of hacking techniques “stolen” from malware developed in Russia and elsewhere

Wikileaks describes its release as the first in a series of planned leaks about the CIA’s cyber-activities, which it refers to as Vault 7.

It added that the material had already circulated among hackers who used to work for the US government as well as contractors in an unauthorised manner.

4K restoration on Star Wars

With the quality of fan restorations becoming available for Star Wars, I don’t much care what official product they release - no matter what, Star Wars won’t be a ‘lost film’.

There are a great many less-well-known films needing preservation or restoration, and there are probably a lot where a fan restoration is necessary. I hope that in the near future they get the attention they deserve.

THIS, a million times over.

I’ve already made up my mind not to buy anything Star Wars related on blu-ray, not even if it’s a future-proofed 4k combo, until the OOT is given its due. I’ll go see the new movies in the theater, but that’s it. I’ve still never bought the blu-rays, sure ain’t going to now. There are plenty of other movie restorations on blu-ray I’d rather spend my hard-earned money on.

We ❤️ Star Wars and give it all the moneys. Please don’t sue us.

I don’t think this guy thought that through. I always got the impression Batman doesn’t care about politics, only what he feels is right. Keep in mind there are numerous instances where Bruce will take in one of those guys on the street and give them a job at Wayne Enterprises to help get them away from living through hell, if he feels they’re a person with good intentions, but stuck in terrible circumstances.
