American democracy is headed where German democracy tread before: fascism. That's corporate rule, where corporations are the body of the beast, and politicians are its human face. Europe will follow closely behind, as the national/continental distinctions are irrelevant to multinational corporations, and the consumers who feed them. This "Internet" thing, especially mobile messaging and filter sites, is a wildcard. Fascism will just mutate again, with freer humans living in the cracks. It's all strangely familiar.

Hello, Otisberg.

Oh, wait... wrong geologic event.

Thanks for all your comments. I appreciate them (the good ones at least :). A few of you mentioned SFTP, so I'll look into incorporating that for the next version. For now, though, you can go to the 'Preferences' tab and 'Enable SSL' which helps.
As far as 'savvy' goes, (sigh), I guess I thought I was being clever. Come on people: savvy, Jack Sparrow, savvy? see: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325980/quotes for some quotes from the movie. Thanks again for taking the time to check out the extension.

You're wasting your breath, friend. Anyone that suggests that not only is homosexuality not genetically predetermined, but in fact that there is evidence pointing to the contrary, has already made up his mind: you and I both know that there is a tremendous amount of conflicting evidence on this topic, and that most of the "evidence" against genetic predermination comes from sources with a vested interest.

They'll use whatever argument they can against it, but in the end, anti-gay types are just homophobic, plain and simple. It's a moral issue of some sort for them, whatever that means. I really think "but that's the out hole" is the core of the issue for them. Seriously.

I'm not gay, but many of my friends are, and I actually met a guy in college at our LGBT who had grown up in the midwest and been put through a religious "straightification" program by his parents, to cure him (I'm Californian). In the end he pretended to be "cured" to get out of it, I swear, it was like something out of But I'm a Cheerleader (great flick, if you haven't seen it). Thank god for the American tradition of sending your kids off to college, huh? Needless to say he went from being a depressed, fucked up kid to a well adjusted, well liked, happy guy overnight.

So what I'm saying is, regardless of what causes it (I think it's nature, but my dyke soc teacher was sure it was nurture, go figure ;p), it certainly is pretty deeply engrained. I've never heard of anyone "turning gay" or "turning straight" -- everyone I know was pretty aware of their preference for as far back as they can remember, and that's good enough evidence for me.

And homophobia is just ignorance, anyway. I honestly don't know anyone that has actually dealt with openly gay people on a regular basis that has managed to remain homophobic. It's just impossible. In the rural midwest, everyone thinks they don't know anyone gay, but personally I absolutely believe the 1 in 10 stat. Hearing homophobes talk, they seem to think that gay men hit on anything with a penis! They must really think they're god's gift, or something.

The fact that we even need to debate this issue (gay marriage, gay rights, etc) just pisses me off.

Anyway, I hope you're living somewhere where you can live your lifestyle in peace. Seriously, fuck the closet.

Gary Niger (GNAP [Gay Nigger Associated Press]), West Palm Beach, FL. - With just 50 days remaining until a landmark US presidential election that is still too close to call, Florida Governor Jeb Bush announced Thursday (9/23) that GNAA operative Lysol will be appearing on the election ballot.

"I know that Lysol officially dropped out of the race 6 months ago, but like Ralph Nader, and all liberal candidates, I think he deserves a fair shot.", said Bush.

Amid questions to the governor and brother of incumbent President asking if this is just a ploy to take away votes from John Kerry, the Democratic nominee, Bush said "Um..LOL JEWS", and immediately left the conference.

GNAA psuedo-member DiKKy was seen saying "LOL HY LOL HY LOL" shortly after.

It is assumed that these rumors are not true however, as most analysts feel George W. Bush will carry Florida, as it has already been announced that Florida's black votes will not be counted.

About Lysol

Lysol is a gangster. Before dropping out of the race, Lysol took a firm stance on the rights of gay niggers everywhere, as well as being pro-abortion. Considered to be a member of the radical-left, many felt his attitude towards politics was a refreshing change from "Old fucks that worship Jesus".

If they gave the ol' middle finger to China, they would be banned from China, which is the most populous country in the world. For this, Google would be held liable and John Q. Public could sue Google for negligence. The problem is really a problem with the institution of the corporation. I recommend watching The Corporation - an eye-opening documentary. My favorite line from this movie compares corporations to sharks - they are not necessarily evil, but are designed by their nature to do harm for their own benefit. The sad truth is, Google doesn't have the option to be a benevolent ubersite anymore.

Reading this story, I am remided of the movie October Sky. For wannabe rocket scientists, this is one of the most inspirational movies.

It's based on a true story. The protagonist is now in a very high position in NASA.

In the true rock & roll tradition, Midnight Records, the NYC bootleg store that was exonerated by this ruling, has an invalid certificate installed in their webserver. Apparently their server host self-certifies, without membership in a trust network including popular web browsers. It's these borderline operators, who take the risks at the edges of the protection of our liberty, who wind up protecting us all.

You're thinking of The Rescuers, a 1977 Disney film. And they were mice, not rats. Close, though.

Which reminds me.
I want to rent Mouse Hunt again soon.

or you could just watch the original

It looks like it was mostly copied, and judging from the trailer the orignal looks like a considerably better film.

I like the part where Mark Hamill discusses the theoretical logistics of employing janitorial staff for the entire Death Star.

It was probably sometime in the late 80s or early 90s when movie trailers began to be tolerable. Often, I prefer watching the trailer to sitting through the actual movie, so I used to try to show up early to the theater to catch all the trailers. Now, of course, they beat you over the head with 20-30 minutes of trailers and stupid MovieTickets.com commercials. It's easier to watch them at Apple's Quicktime movie trailers page.

For a while in the 90s, every movie trailer that I ever saw seemed to be done by the guy who did the voice for Optimus Prime in the original Transformers series, Peter Cullen. You could pretty much tell whether or not a movie studio took the trailer seriously if they used him for the voiceovers....

"(rising voice) A time of prosperity.... (lowering voice) A place of peace. (slow, heavily enunciated lower voice) Now.... one man... threatens.. it.. all." Fun stuff, even though there seem to be more trailers now that don't use voiceovers at all but instead rely on screens of text to piece things together.

My major pet peeve about trailers, though, is when they show the entire movie plot in the trailer. It completely removes any element of surprise, and makes it almost pointless to go see the movie. For example, the new trailer for Flight of the Phoenix does just that - the entire story is compressed down into a two minute version, sort of like a Readers Digest condensed book. It's sort of how trailers for comedy flicks show you the funniest parts of the movie in the hopes that you'll shell out $9 to see it, but then have nothing additional to offer.

"I like the part where Mark Hamill discusses the theoretical logistics of employing janitorial staff for the entire Death Star. Enjoy."

Well, similar discussions have been had before (http://imdb.com/title/tt0109445/). Please, will someone think of the contract workers?!??!!

Silly child. You've obviously never served in the military and haven't a clue. If you had, you would instantly understand that Kerry could not have been telling the North Vietnamese anything they couldn't already have learned from the evening news. You need to stop reading those right wing fringe conspiracy websites and learn how the real world works. And even McNamara thinks Vietnam was unwinable. The sad thing is that Iraq may be unwinable for the same reason: We don't understand the country, its culture, or why the enemy is fighting.

Anyone seen Steven Spielberg around? This sounds strangely like the opening of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

What's funny is that noone knows how it ended up there.

Who is this Mr. noone you talk about?

Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien called Bush a "buffoon"

Mr Hans Blix, whom you might remember as being 100% RIGHT when Bush and friends were lying to the whole world about the WMD- and you now ALL acknowledge that FACT, dont you ? - , well Mr Blix called the bush administration "Bastards" .

Then he decided it would be better to call them "Weasels" instead.

This is in a documentary about Bush that goes much deeper than the Michael Moore pamphlet. It's sad to see that people in the US would prefere to argue hours about Moore's movie rather than see this one which is much more "objective" (there's no "narator" it's only interviews from different people like Blix, the husband of the CIA spy, the guy that writes the speeches for bush, and so on ...)

This is in an amazing documentary called

Now this I'd like to see,... maybe Alien and Predator can be on the opposite ticket!

Another neat fact: Jesse was also in The Running Man with Arnold.

Let's see... who would represent Alien on the ticket? Sigourney Weaver and Paul Reiser? Bill Paxton would obviously be disqualified although he was in Aliens, since he was also in Predator 2.

a urine tube is shown for god knows what plot-unrelated reason in the movie Kalifornia, by a man just before being killed by Brad Pitt's character.

...not just the Dune novels. Some even say that the story of the original is very close to "The Hidden Fortress". This site explains things very well.

Robert Preston was terrific in that film. He was also no stranger to musicals, which is why I'd think he'd smile at this production, however much it might puzzle him.

Speaking of obscure 80's movies turned musicals, has anyone managed to see 'Evil Dead I&II the Musical'? Ohhhh yes, this musical is not only hilarious and cleverly written according to the original story, but the audience gets covered with buckets of fake blood and slapped with thousands of those wonderful one-liners that we all hold dear to our hearts... which tend to borrow from everyone's favorite threequel. 'Good. Bad. I'm just the guy with the gun.' The music & choreography is incredible, particularly for 'What the F*@! Was That?'. I've seen it, not once, not twice, but thrice =D Apologies tho, because it was only local to Toronto & Montreal as i remember. Road trip anyone?

He woulda been perfect in a musical production of The Last Starfighter. Ah well, hopefully he's watching from somewhere up in the stars.

the original movie starred the Music Man didn't it?

Who knows; maybe it sounds like a Wil Wheaton role :)

It's a great film (well... it was when I was a kid), but as a stageplay? I seriously doubt it'll get off the ground...

You have to get with the times. It's too much effort to send someone to your door nowadays - far simpler to send you an e-mail threatening legal action. Then if you don't comply, they'll take you to e-court and win an injunction which forces your ISP to serve up snippets from 'Manos' the Hands of Fate instead of the webpages you request.

Simply send the URLs to the 'infringing' content to your ISP and the MPAA/RIAA and ask all parties concerned to look at and/or hear the 'infringing' content.

That should be the end of the matter. If not, then send all parties concerned the 'infringing' content with a bill for expenses in sending the 'infringing' content to them via registered mail with return receipt. If you are not reimbursed, then use the 7-step litigation procedure outlined by the parent poster.

Using decoy files will do nothing but waste bandwidth, slow down the internet, and cause the MPAA/RIAA to scream 'Entrapment' while they seek out pirated content from IP addresses not already blacklisted.

T3, but it's violence for good which is Ok, right?

IAD's mission involves detecting, reporting, and responding to cyber threats; making encryption codes to securely pass information between systems; and embedding IA measures directly into the emerging Global Information Grid. It includes building secure audio and video communications equipment, making tamper protection products, and providing trusted microelectronics solutions. It entails testing the security of customers' systems, providing OPSEC assistance, and evaluating commercial software and hardware against nationally set standards.

Someone isn't doing their job.

Mind you, maybe their Signals Intelligence Directorate will intercept this on the way to your servers in the US (I'm in the UK) and they'll take the piss out of the other Directorate until they can't stand the shame and get their fingers out their asses.

Serious?
