how will Kevin Costner save the country and bring back civilization after the Third World War?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119925/

Ironic; the movie is supposed to take place in 2013, just in time to see our country fall apart *and* have no postal system to bring it back together.

heheh, Guy Maddin is a crazy director. He's from my hometown. If you ever see My Winnipeg playing on TV or wherever you should check it out.

Completely messed up.

As his sexual escapades fade from the public's attention, he needs something new to keep his name on everyone's mind. It would appear that he has found a way to do just that.

This may not make him very popular with a lot of people, though. I would say that if a close relative were to be dragged out into the street and killed because of his covert association with the US or other government I might be inspired to do Mr. Assange some real damage. So how many chances has he now exposed for some pissed-off relative to decide to make him pay?

While discrediting him might have had a role in the sex charges against him, losing credibility is a small thing compared to losing his life. Many of the countries where covert operations have been going on do not bother much with legal niceities - a spy for the US would just be killed out of hand with a cheering crowd standing by. The relations of such a person aren't going to be constrained by the legal system anywhere either.

For perspective on this, I suggest the movie "Next of Kin" for an example of how a less legalistic culture deals with transgressors against their family.

You mean this one?

So, now maybe adaptive camouflage, like in the movie Predator http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093773/, is a step closer?

Very interesting movie on this subject and the "recycling" of western technology Manufactured Landscapes (2006)

Rather than reading (possibly schizophrenic) ramblings on the Internet, go see Das Leben der Anderen ("The Lives of Others"; I think it's out in English now), about a writer who becomes the target of surveillance by the East German Stasi. Very, very frightening stuff, even with the relatively low-tech equipment they had back then.

incredibly bright programmers applying for that janitor position

And when they are discovered, they leave for their girlfriend

If a corporation is legally a person, when is it dead? This company is a zombie that has more lives than several dozen cats.

The whole case seems like an episode of Get a Life, where the main character dies in each episode only to come back to life in the next episode as if nothing happened. That pretty much defines SCO.

My question is more in terms of who has SCO stock certificates? Those are most certainly collector items now.

New GNAA President paz is Elected
paz - Camden, New Jersey

Camden, New Jersey - The winds of change are blowing, and it smells like toots. After a century of inactivity, dick waving, cock sucking, infighting, and bzb, it's time for a new breed of gay niggers to arise. There are a few changes that will be taking effect, now that I hold the position of philosopher-god-king:

* The dark days are over. #GNAA is no longer a mere chat room, nor is it your personal hugbox. Anyone deemed to be worthless or unfunny will now be immediately removed from the channel. The following things will not be tolerated: ED nerds, OhInternet! contributors, channers, #stress lunatics, or #anti sycophants.

* The membership system is being reinstated. To petition for membership, you must contact an official member of the GNAA (a user with operator status) and schedule an interview. You will be tested on a variety of things, including: creativity, hilarity, charisma, and technical prowess. From then on, a cabal of card-carrying gay niggers will take a vote on whether or not to initiate you into the order. Those deemed worthy will be taken through a live initiation ceremony on KLULZ internet radio.

* As president, I will be hosting a weekly internet radio program from my professional irc studio in the heart of crack infested Camden. The content of the program will include: GNAA news, music (including homemade GNAA propaganda tunes), racially charged tirades, and updates on the various trolls that members of the channel have accomplished, with congratulatory words and shout-outs for outstanding examples of gayniggerdom.

* Members may have certain responsibilities bestowed upon them, for the sake of channel efficiency. For example: writing press releases, target hunting, ANSI creation etc. Of course anyone who wishes will be able to participate in these activities as well, provided the content you provide is sufficiently hilarious.

* The creation of smaller, GNAA affiliated cells engaging in certain focused tasks will be encouraged. If you have an idea for a troll and would like to carry it out with a group of specialized individuals, you simply have to run it by me and it will be officially sanctioned.

To put it simply, it's time to troll. #GNAA has been painfully unfunny for far too long, and it's time to crack down and become a well-oiled and efficient machine. With an iron fist and a cock hard as diamonds, I will lead you all to glory and hilarity. Heil hitler, heil victory, heil gayniggerdom.

You probably think Quest for Fire is a documentary, too.

watch http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/ and you might change you mind...

eh??... watch http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/ ...

If you had read TFA you would have realized that the picture was of a standard airplane they are building to test their skills. They can't do any worse than this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078681/

I keep remembering the monologue from 'V for Vendetta' :

And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you,

We're on our way. Very few will object and those that do, will be branded as "paranoid' or 'conspiracy theorist' or some such rot. And they're will be others who will cling to the fantasy of 'do nothing wrong and you have nothing to worry about'.

I see horrible things coming our way.... and the people who can hold the moral high ground - Jews and African Americans - are silent. They of all people know for a fact where this will lead.

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the rest should stop being the clowns and media whores that they are and go back to their roots in peacefully fighting for justice for all people.

I never knew Michael Mann was also a climatologist. I guess this explains the naming of one of my favorite movies: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113277/
:/

You tell'em AC! And I'd like to point out that this Michael Mann is in fact a Hollywood Writer responsible for shows like Miami Vice.

Senator McCarthy, is that you?

I have no clue what Patrick Swayze is, or has been up to, but I think Charlie Sheen is the right man for this job.

1. According to TFA, fiber-optic will go in alongside the railway....enter Russian hackers and thus, Russian Mafia.

2. The railway is just a diversion.
Small teams of Spetsnaz will attempt infiltration into Alaska periodically....just to keep everyone edgy, and watching for them as the real threat.
Due to mistakenly paying attention to USA media/propaganda, they will attempt/takeover 'the Bridge to Nowhere', and Sara Palin's house.

Hmmm, reminds me of something...
*Hilarity ensues.*

3. Russian Mafia (and their drugs and hookers) + Charlie Sheen = Hilarity Ensues! 'nuff said.

4. ???

5. Profit!

BTW, 'Wolverines!' ??!?!!? What?
I confess:
I don't get it, but find myself indescribably intrigued...(as Spock would say, "Fascinating, Captain.")

Don't get me wrong, having seen the absolute destruction of a hunting cabin that a wolverine gained entry to; I find myself in awe of the smelly, furry little beasts!
Not to mention a fan of the Wolverine character of X-Men fame, and the Wolverine mod for the Fallout 3 game. *note: the site has changed a lot since I visited last, YMMV. :-|*

Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.

It's not a meme, it's a TV reference

I thought that was a staple scenario in its entirety. I saw The Day the Earth Stood Still (both of them) where the aliens come to say "yo, we've come to save the earth. From you losers".

One twist is where the aliens think they need to save the earth from us, but really we're the good guys in a galactic conspiracy (or bureaucracy), like David Brin's Uplift trilogy.

Tales from the Script The industry has a funny way of treating such critical talent.

It's unmanned, I mean I love technology but does this have any applications outside of the military?

How about working to make civilian flight cheaper/faster.

Forget civillian. Which passenger wants to know they have NO pilot.
Freight, no there is a future. Have UPS / DHL etc save on pilots salaries. Who wants to fly a pile of boxes around anyway? I mean, have you not seen enough of Tom Hanks in Cast Away?

If this was an episode of Damages (awesome show) Patty Hugues would instruct her client, Bethesda, to stick to their guns and sue the guy for all he has. Mojang AB has basically admitted by asking for a sporting contest decision that they cannot win on a point of law. A judge would be flagrantly out of his or her depth to overlook that and even be a little perturbed by it.

All that said, it would be a great marketing campaign for both companies if they decided to do so. My guess is that Bethesda will take them up on their offer and have a live stream.

Damn right!

the Titanic WILL sink in the end. There's no way around it

The idiom is "Moot point", not mute point.

If you're going to correct someone, you should at least be right about it.

It's a "Moo point". It's like a cow's opinion, you know, it just doesn't matter. It's "moo".

I thought this theory had been explored and exploited quite well when the moral of "Independence Day" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116629/ was:

Connect a Mac to any network (even advanced alien invaders) and it WILL crash.

Well, if he's going to be named after a Microsoft product, at least, for the most part, Windows is generally successful. Apple never would've hired him if he was named after Microsoft Bob,. . . We all know that Bobs don't make good consultants,. . .

TRON (1982)

A spaceship traveling through space is mysteriously hi-jacked and Bond must work quickly to find out who was behind it all. He starts with the rockets creators, Drax Industries and the man behind the organisation, Hugo Drax. On his journey he ends up meeting Dr. Holly Goodhead and encounters the metal-toothed Jaws once again.

.. it bothers me more that it's a 70's movie script.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049833/ I'll be here all week, try the veal!

Every high school has at least one student that builds a fully functioning nuclear bomb for their science fair project.

It already has... unfortunately.

But in all honesty, there are far more notable problems in the world than what these kids are usually making a fuss about, or probably even aware about.

Like how the fuck we're supposed to stop an asteroid from slamming into our planet when all of our resources are going to global oil wars, diverted away from space exploration and preparation against world-ending events?

The oil wars are world-ending events themselves. We have the technology now to power cars in a way that won't cost us a dime. We have the technology now to power entire cities without ever having to lift a finger. Solar energy is the way to do it, but you can't operate a solar power station with a bunch of fucking anarchists running around fucking shit up.

I mean if you look up at the sky and see the vast resources out there, you kinda just have to ask what the fuck we're doing here with this narrow minded anti-purpose.

What is the balance between Anonymous and the Fascists, and is that perhaps a better solution? Can there be a balance between anarchy and fascism?

Here is why I like Anonymous. I like the way they can latch onto something and tear it apart, and that 2/3 times the thing they are tearing down is some Fascist organization. The reason Anon attacked Scientology is because they are Fascists, not because of Tom Cruise.

I think Fascist organizations in general are bad, so I like Anonymous for this purpose, but I don't see anyone contributing to making the world better, I just see that these guys are good at destroying things and destroying people and that's not positive. There aren't many other effective things a group of hackers can do except disrupt the fascist agenda. So when the fascist agenda is tied closely to the American economy, which it is, we see S&P downgrading the US credit score again. This downgrade is a direct result of efforts of the fascists to forcing the US towards a global police state situation. It's exactly what they want.

I recommend SLC Punk! because it does kind of touch on some of the early ideas about what Anonymous wants to be as a whole, but why it can't be that because it can't be anything if it's not developed as anti-structure and that the whole idea of a structured or purposed Anonymous is one that is Fascist itself.

It sounds like you watched his recent show Worst-Case Scenario, which was a bit naff. He is better known for the far superior Man vs. Wild. It is worth giving that one a try.
