Re:What it really means
There sort of is a movie. I'm pretty sure this is what I rented on video. I thought it was the whole story on one tape, possibly edited down, but I don't think we even finished watching it because it was so awful.

> "DC 9/11" on IMDB
If you mean "DC 9/11 Time of crisis?", I saw that on cable a little while ago. Not a whole lot to recommended it (apart from the striking resemblance of the actor who played GWB to the shrubbery himself)
> And I'm horrified to have a President who confuses America with God
It could be worse - he could confuse himself with God. Oh, wait - he *does* confuse himself with God.
Does the "W" in "GWB" stand for "We don't need no steeking Geneva convention"? -
Re:What about the psychological aspect?I can't be sure, but I believe that newly rebuilt vision sends upside down images to the brain, and it takes a while for a person to get used to it. I read this in a psychology book. Why upside down? Remember eyes work like lenses.
A newborn can cope with it very quickly, as they don't even have a sense of dimensions. However, it is more difficult for an adult to cope with it.
I've heard of a similar story, about a man who couldn't live in the world he could see. I think Hollywood made this film inspired by such incidents. The film, however, was a bomb. It is a very interesting subject, nevertheless, and I think there should be some sort of counseling available to those who are gaining vision for the first time.

.. Moore doesn't own the distribution rights to F911 anymore thus it's not his call.
Remember the 'controversy' over distribution, how disney wanted nothing of it in fear of angering Jeb, and the Weinsteins' bought out the distribution rights?
It wouldn't be piracy if Lion's Gate and IFC Films okayed downloading it, and even then the other distributors may want a word with them before that. Not so stupid media -
weighted average1355 Americans gave it a "1". 93 gave it a "2". I'm not sure what to think of those numbers. Of course, any accusation of "voting by principle" can also be applied to the other end of the scale.
Of course it can. I would expect biased voters to try and stuff the box on both ends of the scale.
That's why IMDB's final score is a "weighted average".

If you would have done the slightest bit of research whatsoever, you would have found that the 1's and 2's most likely do no affect the score very much. The scores are are not a median or average, they are weighted. Please see this page

Re:Wrong
Do you think writing, producing, or directing a film gives someone the copyright? They do if you paid for the movie yourself, or others gave you money for the film with no strings attached, but generally that is not the case. The only major filmmaker who owns his own work's copyright is Lucas. Even he doesn't own it directly, IIRC. For liability reasons, even small independent filmmakers work through a production company, and they own the copyrights. The grandparent poster is incorrect in saying the Weinsteins own the film - Miramax does.
From Moore's own site: © WESTSIDE PRODUCTIONS, LLC 2004 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
The trailers don't say the copyright, but they do say "A DOG EAT DOG FILMS PRODUCTION".
To the other poster who said that Lions Gate Films says it's ok to download, keep in mind that while LGF is the worldwide distributor, other companies have distribution in certain countries, and they might be pissed that Moore is saying "go download it". -
Re:Serious?
The IMDB average of the movie is 7.8. If you limit the votes to US voters (Because who cares about Europeans anyway), the average is 7.6.
1355 Americans gave it a "1". 93 gave it a "2". I'm not sure what to think of those numbers. Of course, any accusation of "voting by principle" can also be applied to the other end of the scale. -

Re:LLC
RTOFA (Read The Other Friggin' Article), Seagate LLC is indeed based in the US:
"Seagate Technology, the Scotts Valley-based hard disk drive manufacturer..."
While it doesn't explicitly say that Scotts Valley is in the US, I don't recall there being any town in Japan called Scotts Valley. However, there was reference to a town called Beaver Falls in the brilliant Prince of Space (thank you, MST3K), so who knows what other Anglocized towns there. -
Re:Italy's furious!
Then there's Spain. I find the phrase "undermine political credibility in Europe" to be a laughable concept when an entire country changes its majority party in a radical direction because of a single terrorist bombing.
Ill informed as that comment may be, its a very very crude but somewhat apt comparison to the patent topic.
About bombs
In case of spain there was a bombing, some bombs failed to detonate leaving the cell phones that were supposed to be the trigger intact. Tracing the origins of those phones must have taken minutes. They belonged to known suspected muslim fundamentalist (iirc even came from a phone shop owned by one). Yet the elected government kept claiming that they suspected ETA was behind all this. Now when no one knew about the collected evidence people toke these government comments very serious. Then slowly the idea began settling that the ETA which Aznar had been fighting harshly may not be behind the bombing. During this Aznar kept claiming it could very well have been the ETA. Aznar had lied not to protect his people or whatever, he had lied to win have a chance at the election. He didn`t lie about his own past, he didn`t lie about business dealings of himself or friends/relatives, he didn`t lie about his sex life. He lied about a national tragedy that upset *everyone* just to have a chance at saving his power.Now for the US centric readers another crude "translation" in the tradition of slashdot: Imagine a huge bombing in the US killing hundreds a week before the presidential election. Bush is on the rubble in seconds, vowing to destroy ever left bit of al qaida, hunt "them" down etc. Slowly rumors start to appear that Christian fundamentalist are behind the bombing, perhaps even associated with groups that got controversial funding from the bush administration..... Bush says: It wasn`t Americans, its those al-qaida people I have been fighting so hard, join me in the fight vote for me and I will finish this. Then the arrests of Christian fundamentalist start.... Will you vote for bush after "only two" major terrorist acts? (to quote "wag the dog", "changing a bet mid race?")
I know this isn`t a "nice" neat and PC story but I hope it tickles the imagination just right. Also about the "change to.... a radical direction" wording, few people in spain supported the invasion of iraq. They were not likely to vote for Aznar becouse of his support to the US even before the bombings. (btw: spain wasn`t the only European country that was not mentioned by bush during his infamous irish interview. "Really what you're talking about is France, isn't it?" priceless, where do you get such a guy? Though now somehow half the US seems to think most of the world agrees with them.
Back to patents
In the Netherlands a minister voted in the european commision. He just needed the backup of his national pairlement. He claimed he voted on a technicality (Who cares for "minor" changes to patend law anyway) and that he voted in line with the wishes of the (elected and after some debate clued in ) European pairlment. Thing is if there was consensus in the EP then it would be that the patent law proposals needed lots of amendments to make it work (ie no to software patends instead of yes). Amendments that werent there in the text voted on. Some dutch slashdot readers (You are here right?) dressed up, went to the pairlement explained they were misinformed (lied to) by a minister. Rather then having the minister fired which is the usual procedure. he was send back to brussels to change his erroneous vote. (stupid word processors, who makes these things anyway, on an unrelated note, microsoft will be sponsoring the dutch presidency/hosting of the European commission this year just like the irish one).
The slashdot geeks even toke the time to figure out that changing ones promised vote before the formal vote may be unconventional -

Re:RFID in libraries
Make a fashion statement. Get a tinfoil bag to match your hat.
While tinfoil hats would appeal only to the mentally ill, knapsacks with metal mesh woven in might actually become trendy if companies and organizations don't respect reasonable privacy concerns. And if so, neither the libraries new RFID systems or its old passive systems will be effective at stopping theft. So, by adopting RFID, libraries could make their security problems worse. Same goes for stores.
I have no problems with RFID tags on airport luggage. I think it is a great idea, as long as they provide the wire cutters to remove the tags as you leave the baggage area. But any tag that becomes permanently attached to an article you may carry around is potentially a problem.
Likewise, an RFID chip might be convenient in an employee ID card but a tinfoil pocket protector might be appropriate (though a fatal fashion faux paus) when you leave the office. In the early days of proximity badges, they weren't that much of a privacy issue because you weren't likely to encouter a reader. So, all things considered, an iButton ring might be a more appropriate security device - contact required. Or a badge that had a built in slide, just as a 3.5" floppy does. A promiscous ID badge (RFID) could also introduce some potential security holes; you just need two guys with an RFID radio relay - to get intruder A into the building we just need to get intruder B in close proximity to Employee C, at which point C's ID badge will happily authenticate A into the building via the link.
RFIDs could also be handy on large organized events like bike rides (think MS 150) and marathons where tracking people is actually a good thing (unless you plan to cheat), because it helps you locate people who may need assistance.
Somehow, I think I can do without a computer greeting me as I walk into a Wal-mart: "Good morning, John Anderton Would you like to try new extra strength Preparation H? It is 40% more effective than the product you have been using."
RFID attached to the disposable cardbord box I buy a DVD player in at walmart doesn't raise a lot of red flags for me but when the damn chip is hidden inside the DVD case, that is a lot more problematic. But a single RFID in a pallet full of DVDs to track it as it moves around the warehouse is ok. RFIDs on intermodal containers is a good use - barcodes do not work well in that environment. An RFID on my car to go through tollbooths can be a problem but if you put a pushbutton on it so I can activate it, then it is a good application.
On the otherhand, contact based systems (more like an iButton than an RFID) for merchandise pose a lot fewer problems. An an RFID chip that is programmed to deactivate the RF portion when you check out but will still respond to a contact probe at the customer return desk could be ok. And there could be some advantages as far as manufacturer QA/QC if they get the serial numbers of every product returned as defective within minutes of return, though this works a lot better if it was manufactured two weeks ago here in the US and delivered just in time than if it was sent via container ship from the Pacific Rim and the assembly line has been churning out high defect rate products without feedback for 3 months.
Encryption doesn't work for the manufacturing/retail environment, there are just two many people at too many stores who have access to the key. RFID that falls back to contact probe operation after checkout (or before shipment if mail order), solves most of the privacy issues.
Allowed access for retail products:
- Manufacturer
- Distributer
- Retail or online store. But only the store that sold the product and only until it leaves the store the first time at which point it must be deactivated.

Fist ProstateGNAA Press Release:
GNAA Announces Aquisition of Bill Cosby As New SpokesmanGNAA, Nigeria - In a shocking turn of events, Bill Cosby has joined the GNAA to act as the group's new spokesman.

Re:I think..
You should see "Fog of War" and go read some more about Robert MacNamara. He was considered a technocrat who's arrogance led to some mistakes. Many of the Italian and German fascists were also technocrats. I will entirely agree that technocrats are alluring and we should look for some of those qualities in our politicians, but there is also an arrogance in putting complete faith in technocracy.
I would say that just because someone is not arrogant when confronted by facts and figures, that does not make them a wise leader. They can be just as arrogant and blinded with facts and statistics as their justification.
Seek balance and understanding (empathy) in politicians, those qualities will let them listen to technocrats. Of course, I do want to point out the irony here on /. that technocrat is really just a modern term for bureaucrat. In fact, the modern technocracy has all of the same problems as turn of the century republics like France and Italy, where the problems were blamed on the failing of the bureaucrat.

Re:I suppose it's time?
Interesting, but I can't help but think, that is exactly what government wants: more demand for their services. This is a classic example of government creating problems (unfair patent law), which they will "solve" with even MORE government.
Wow. Umm. Okay.
So, you clearly are of Reagan's anti-government camp, and that's fine. But I hope you'll allow me to respond with a quote from an earlier (indeed, the first) Republican president, and give it due consideration:
"[...] It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
(I trust you will recognize this as Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.)
I assert that it is not government that is the problem. Government that is not accountable to the people is the problem.
This is our government. We the people constitute it, and we the people are responsible for it. Don't dismiss government, but take it back.
This idea once was written this way:
"[...] We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it [...]"
Now, personally, I'm a fan of the "alter" approach, rather than the "abolish" approach. My faith in the goodness of mankind is not so great that I would like to see anarchy.
Instead, I call on everyone reading this to work to alter our government to once again place the people first. I'm a libertarian leftist, so I think this means that people come before profit, that immortal corporations are not due the same rights under the law that natural persons enjoy, that government shall pass no law reducing the freedom of the people where no harm is done, that the Bill of Rights is not to be trifled with.
Verbal Kint once said, "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." I have a corallary: "The greatest trick the forces of oppression ever pulled was convincing Americans that their government doesn't matter."
This land is your land.

GNAA Claims Responsibility for Killing 3000Blogs
GNAA Claims Responsibility for Killing 3000 BlogsGNAUK (the UK branch of the GNAA) consultant rolloffle stood ecstatically in front of the massive GNAUK London office skyscraper.

Having concluded with these statements, the crowd burst into an ambivalent mix of outraged and delighted argument. rolloffle then unzipped his trousers and started to beat back the hordes of angry webloggers and journalists with his gigantic nigger cock, fleeing into a side alley. The massive conglomeration of people then enjoyed a spectacular fireworks display, sending the massive office building of glass and steel smashing to the ground and burying the suckers present.

Re:So what happens if...I disagree. "It'd take you ten minutes..." is correct, as the speaker doesn't expect him to take this action, so the uncontracted "It would take you ten minutes..." makes sense. Even if it were a grammatical error to use the word "it'd" there, changing the word choice in a quotation of a dramatic work can't be justified as a spelling correction. "you're" is the correct spelling of a word actually spoken, so I agree with that correction. The quotation at imdb:
