LMAO. that whole saving draft copies so as to avoid transmitting them anywhere.... they learned it from Tom Clancy. At least i'm 99% certain that's where i first heard the technique.
It was either Clancy or another spy novel, and i'm certain i'd seen it before 2003.
I apologize, this wandered all over the place. I had a point..and i had a couple good lines, and then i realized i had a couple more points...and by then i had to go refresh my idea of the first point. it's just not my best work.
That's kind of a microcosm of my issue with polls entirely.
You've got a lot of factors with any site...audience, trolls, how likely it is to attract viral trolls from one camp or another....
but on a larger scale, i figure most people filling out polls online, (in general, irrespective of site specific slant)are likely netizens. Those of us who may not watch the same newsfeeds, but share the basic commonality of being plugged in, enough that this is the platform we use to share our thoughts and opinions.
I know a few things about my fellow netizens, going by the polls. We like weed. doesn't matter who puts the poll up, Fox, huffpo, or costco....we will find it, and we will upvote the ganj.
We're mostly ok with gays. even on /b/ "fag" has pretty much no emotional load to it. It's hard to work up much hatred of m4m, when you just saw a horse skullfucking a monkey corpse while a midget has sex with a chicken on it's back.
We like cats. We really, REALLY like cats.
And there's a lot of crazy, and even more stupid, but those people tend to rather rant than fill out polls.
I guess my point was that it's good to see that things like national Hate Chicken day wasn't actually representative of a majority of the country anymore. Gays and weed gaining some decisive victories over FUD and bullshit was nice. if the internet polls mmatched how it came out, then maybe things aren't as bad as they often look.
I agree with Jim- the rules are simply different when you deal with highly classified material. And everything about the SEALs; equipment, tactics, operations...everything is classified material.
They knew the deal, they might have expected it to get winked at, but they kknew that in the end, they were violating everything from oaths to NDA's by saying anything to anyone, that hadn't been vetted by the pentagon. They paid their money, they took their chances.
maybe, or maybe after Manning and the bin Laden guy, someone decided they needed a nice public example made, on something that had no potential blowback from politics or protesters. i really doubt this is the first time a shooters had active duty military in as consultants, though i can't source that at the moment. (i'd swear i remember seeing something about it with one of the older titles, or battlefield maybe..but i only half pay attention to those headlines.)
i have a suspicion that the guy that published the bin laden book kicked off a pretty serious internal security audit, and these guys got swept up for what would otherwise have gone either unnoticed, or been "good ole boy'd".
Isn't medal of honor half way endorsed as a recruiting tool yet?
it's a good point, except for the details of the items.... soundtracks used as back ground music for sports streams.
legitimate content, part of his business, but by a strict reading (through the eyes of the lawyers) it means he's a dirty fucking pirate and all the value is in those songs, which he had no right to use.
Whereas any reasonable person would say " oh, he put music on as background for the streams, well of course he did, that's what people do, you idiot"
"Of course, the issue right here has nothing to do with the MPAA's fears about infringement. It's about getting someone back the legitimate data they have on the servers. Why would the MPAA fight so hard against that? "
because they will do anything rather than admit that there's legitimate data on those servers...because then shit starts unravelling, the servers have to be brought back up, and the whole narrative starts to unravel into class action liability suits and countersuits.
