Stormbringer's Thunder

Buon giorno. You know I try to sound the alarm now and then. After all, I hate seeing people get ripped off, get viruses, scammed or whatever. This monstrosity came in the mail, and I'm going to show the world how cafones like this gang conduct business. Many people want to begin, improve or rebuild their credit rating, often after declaring bankruptcy. Sneaky people play on the hopes and sometimes desperation of people. This one is not the worst, it's just typical. In the picture (click for larger), you'll see that this company is "CreditOne". Their logo looks deceptively similar to CapitalOne , that's the first thing that bothered me. And you're "pre-approved" unless they decide you're no good after all. Well, even legitimate companies pull this trick, so I can't complain too loudly. By the way, I think the pretend credit card that companies attach is kind of insulting; we know what a credit card looks like, Leroy. There's

While many in Nigeria were still celebrating the victory of Christian presidential candidate Goodluck Jonathan, Christians in northern Nigeria were grieving over the mass graves that would be the final resting place of their loved ones. Shocking scene of carnage in Nigeria International Christian Concern (ICC) is reporting that in the Muslim north, Muslim mobs reacted to the news of Goodluck’s election on April 18th by launching massive simultaneous attacks against Christians in almost every northern state. The mobs massacred hundreds of Christians, torched more than 300 churches, and destroyed countless Christian homes. Read the rest of the article here .

Not much to say here. I did a post on "Stormbringer's Auxiliary Thunder" showing the relentless push that Zynga is giving Farmville's "Gagaville" (which I call either Slutville or Gag-Me-Ville). The link to the picture post is here , and my previous complaint is here .  One reminder, in one way I really don't care. But in another way, they (Zynga) are hypocrites for not allowing children to see alcoholic beverages in Farmville (allegedly on principle), but then promoting an album by this sex fiend. Yeah, I know, I'll take heat from "enlightened" people and self-styled "intellectuals" for taking a stand on morality and values. Sucks, donut? Update to the update : This kind of stuff keeps coming to my Inbox — and I haven't been playing Farmville for weeks now. Do not want !

A couple of things this time around. First, the Christian fish symbol ichthus is getting out of hand. Not so much by Christians, our symbol is ancient and uncluttered: Then someone decided to essentially raise a middle finger to it and make a Papa Darwin version, as seen in the cartoon at the top. Yes, I know they're out of order, I wanted to lead with a colorful 'toon, OK? Anyway, someone even more clever hit back with "Truth": I should get got one of those! My earlier "out of hand" remark is because there are many more designs available. Several are marketed toward obstreperous atheists, and some are marketed toward sci-fi loving virgin geeks. Even more can be had. Clutter! So anyway. This is an appropriate celebration of getting my autographed copy of The Lie: Evolution by Ken Ham replaced. EDIT: Now revised and expanded !   Here is an article from "Answers in Genesis": In today’s seculari

This harmless old man only had one crime: Cheering for the attacks on America. Other than that, he never bothered anyone. Anyone who believes that rubbish needs his medication adjusted. This news just in: Just before his death, Osama bin Laden told London sleeper cells to carry out attacks. Read more here . Also linked here . Addendum: B. Hussein Obama says that bin Laden wasn't a Muslim leader. Yeah, sure. Only Obama Zombies believe that tripe! Well, the question has been raised: If he wasn't a Muslim leader, why was he buried at sea within twenty four hours ? By the way it adds fuel to my own fire that B. Hussein Obama is a closet Muslim , what with giving the carcass such dignities. Did you know that with slain murderers, the ceremonies are often postponed because of post mortems? Yup, I'm still a bit suspicious.

WARNING: NOT IN FRONT OF THE KIDS "Let’s have some fun, this beat is sick I wanna take a ride on your disco stick Don’t think too much just bust that stick I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" — Lady Gaga Hey, doesn't that make you hot? Put some lustful thoughts into your mind? Is it fun? Is it cute when your kids sing it? Here, try some more: And baby when it’s love if it’s not rough it isn’t fun fun I want your ugly, I want your disease The only place you wanna be is underneath my Christmas tree, light me up with me on top lets falalalalalalala...my Christmas tree is delicious By the way, there seems to be some occult imagery in her material as well.  "Come on, Cowboy Bob! There are worse things out there!" No kidding? I had no idea. Guess what? There are far better things out there, too. Listen, I don't really care what people choose to put into their minds. If you want lust, nonsense, occult or what

Edited Buon giorno.   In my business, keeping secrets is paramount. Sometimes when I send Lela and Nicky out to collect payments, they have no idea who they are calling on until they get most of the way there. But never mind about that now. For what I am about to say, I received no vig. Why should I? It's Open Source, and free. On another computer, I had a copy of AxCrypt by Axantum . This little dandy lets you encrypt your files so that nobody can get at them (even Hal the Hacker was impressed). You can make a self-extracting .EXE file and pass it along. This is quite different from TrueCrypt (also Open Source), which "mounts" a virtual drive on your computer, and knows how not to be seen. Bit of a steep learning curve for the details, though, but exceptionally secure. AxCrypt, in its default state, does not hide the fact that a file is encrypted. But so what? I was impressed earlier today when I found a leftover archived encrypted file (yeah, big words again, but
