What is really funny though is that instructions to build a nuclear device are easily available online. It actually is not even that terribly hard to build. We are talking about something that was invented in late 1930s early 1940s. The difficulty is getting materials.
More to the point though. These sites that were taken down were not some great nation security threat. You would also have a very very hard time convincing me they had a valid excuse for redacting the domain names they took.
I for one look at this and kind of wonder if maybe making a lot of noise is the entire point of this. She found herself in a movie that might make certain people want to hurt her. As a result doing things like this while making her look stupid could very well help direct anger away from her.
Of course... That could just be me holding out hope that there are not really such total morons out there.
I'm not so sure it is really supposed to do either of those. If so they are failing on every level. I do not feel safer. In fact I am finding myself more and more living in a state of fear.
Is it a fear of terrorist jumping out and killing me? No, not at all. In fact I do not fear "terrorists" at all. What does scare the shit out of me is the direction our government is headed in. They are destroying more than any "terrorist" group could ever hope to.
Well, all credibility was tossed out the window with mention of Fahrenheit 9/11. Just the title of that damn film pisses me off and shows how stupid the creators are.
If your trying to make a cleaver reference to something maybe you should actually understand what the hell your doing. Fahrenheit 451 the title actually makes sense, 451 degrees is flash point of paper and was relevant to subject of the book. Now how about someone tell me what the hell 911 degrees has to do with anything?
"The law is the law. If you don't like it then change it. Being blind is no excuse."
You know I am willing to bet around 90% of the people who come here regularly would be more than happy to change the law. Sadly it seems us consumers are not really worth paying any attention to.
Now as for this "This guy, who publicly states that he broke the law, should go to jail or be fined millions of dollars." Well, he will have good company, because we have other laws we need to enforce against people bragging. How about we toss Obama in with him. I seem to remember Obama saying he tried some drugs.... We can also toss in most rap singers, actors, actresses, and politicians.
Take a look around at this disgusting government, there are tons of laws on the books being ignored all the time. Most only enforced when the government is out to throw someone under the buss for saying something wrong.
Kind of funny on of the things you toss in is "pro-gun" and if you look 78% are in favor of the national right to carry.
I do see your point though that this nation has gotten far to stuck on the idea of this two party system. It is kind of sickening really. I'm willing to bet if you took a poll of people you would find most voting for the "lesser of the two evils" or something along those lines.
Most people are not as bat shit crazy as these politicians are.
"If they just keep taking away our Rights they will be leading us towards a Dictatorship or some other form of Repressive Government"
I don't know about you but personally I think we are already well on our way. In fact I already find our "democracy" being pretty repressive.
To fly you have to submit to being groped by one of the fine members of the TSA. A "search" that would be considered sexual assault coming from anyone else. I mean really, you can sue your damn DOCTOR for touching you that way without a good reason.
They also have admitted to spying on us but refuse to really give any details. All this while setting up their own "terrorists" to arrest so they can look good. This helps them justify the road check points they are trying out in different places.
This government long ago strayed from being for the people. It is now running thing behind closed doors all while blowing lots of hot air about "being transparent". I am disgusted with the condition our government has gotten to.
Your going after a library for wanting your name and yet you are in love with a Kindle? Yeah... I'm sure Amazon sent you that Kindle and regularly sell you books without wanting your name....
Of course libraries want your name you moron. Otherwise all a library would be is a collection of free firewood for homeless. Walk in, grab a hand full of books and tada you will be warm for the night... They have to track who has their property so they can at least halfway try and keep up with it.
Kind of funny this law made it anywhere at all. I mean isn't the purpose of protests to annoy someone? Standing around with signs in peoples way and chanting.... Pretty much the entire point is to annoy people and get their attention.
That being said, this law was pretty much a "It is illegal to protest" law just with them trying not to be so obvious..
You apparently don't get just how stupid that idea is. Your saying just because someone does not understand how to setup their router they should be responsible for others abusing it.
It is kind of like saying you should be responsible for murder because someone picks up your ax that you left out. You should have known better than to leave it sitting outside your shed and so now you should go to jail for murder. Oh, and the murder can then come to court and say "Yup, it was all me, I came and got this guys ax and hacked that girl all up. I was great fun!" He walks and you go to jail. You should have known better!
"It has been over a year since we even thought about piracy. With sales as good as above we cannot really see this as an issue worth more than two lines in this post, so screw it."
That right there makes me want to go buy this game.
Re: Re: If Simulations Are Good, The Real Thing Must Be Even Better
I'm not really sure what to think of all this. One thing I can tell is that you have no business near a fire arm. You also seem to have a poor understanding of dimensions.
You see when you aim a gun you use your dominate eye to look down the sites, there is some debate over closing your other eye but most do. So your looking down the sites or through the scope with your dominate eye.
Now in order for you to have depth you need both eyes. You mind generates this depth by overlaying the images from both eyes. So really depth perception has pretty much no bearing on your ability to shoot. Knowing the range of the target is important, but not depth perception.
Sounds like your trouble is just that you can't see without your glasses....
So anyone else see this and find the only thing that is depressing about this whole story is that you can't run out and buy one yet? Ohh, the possibilitys! The awesomeness of an android phone with all the fun case options of the iPhone...
Not to mention I would be happy to support anything that annoys the big names such as Apple and Microsoft.
You know, I really think we should all just take a moment and thank Apple and Microsoft for their efforts in pushing more people to free and open systems. After all, open source projects do better the more people you have on board. It will be nice to finally see Linux become a household name.
You ask "would you welcome a "rape-count app"? "cannibalism-count app"?" and my answer would be, Yes. I would welcome those apps for the same reason I would welcome the drone app.
These apps raise peoples awareness of the issues. The more people you can get to actually look at an issue and admit it exist the better chance you have of getting things to change. As it is most people do not realize how common these things are and so they blow it off.
