This subject would be complicated if we were talking about food, water, or medicine. We're talking about a Movie, a distraction, an illusion.
lastly, its not whether or not I have ever done it, but whether still do. Because I did, didn't make it right, it made me a thief. If I ever do it again, it still makes me a thief. There is no justification,so I don't try to justify it. If I got sued, well that's the cost of playing that game. It isn't the man trying to keep me down, it was me taking what wasn't mine.
As you wish, Robin Hood. If you wish to paint yourself as the crusader because of some "perceived value" you place on a movie, then by all means keep telling yourself your the hero.
Why would a consumer steal a product they don't like. Your arguement makes as much sense as stealing vegemite from the grocery store and using the defense that the store owner should be happy you stole it becaue vegemite sucks.(sorry for all you vegemite fans.)
Netflix pays royalties for the movies they use as does Block Buster.
How difficult is it for someone to get a Netflix / Blockbuster account and rent the damn thing. Stop the bleeding persecuted victim.
This was a small time indie that got picked up by a big budget studio. Give them some slack if they want to a little coin off of this.
"When I lived in Maryland I quickly realized there was no point in voting, because Maryland has consistently supported the Democratic president for almost 100 years. So what's the point?"
The point is that your vote is counted at the end of the day. If you vote for the pot smoking party candidate,even if that candidate loses, if enough people vote for that candidate it will be seen as a trend.
You don't vote for the 'winner', you vote for what's right.
Can't wait to see Hollywood portray this on film. Maybe they'll finally make a film adaptation of Blood Song; since coming up with their own ideas seems to be a bit lacking in the movie makers skill set.
Unbelievable, I can't believe that the news entertainment industry would change reality to suit their purpose.
That would be like a politician leaving out key points of information that might alter the size of their support group.
It's nice to see we're bringing something western into these Iraqi soldiers' short boring lives. But I wonder if it was the original intent of the attacker. I wonder if the attacker wanted to inflict pain upon the Americans and the Iraqi soldiers were a welcome bonus.
Good ploy though. If you can't attack your enemey directly, hit him in the heart.
I don't think that would have helped either. The Media Entertainment outlets only gives enough information to be flame bait. It takes a little more discipline than to read a newpaper, or a magazine. It's kind of like listening to a married couple argue trying to sus out the truth.
"BTW, who reckons that Waters' recent errant flying pig was a deliberate stunt; a reprise of the simimar incident in London in 1976 (IIRC); and NOT an accident?"
Who cares? It doesn't have anything to do with a telescope. Try Entertainment, or IFC.
Secondly, the earth only sees one face of the moon. Because of the moons rotation as it orbits the earth the same face will always face the earth.
Though I find this discussion on the working of radar defeating technology oh so intersting. I don't understand what the subject of this discussion has to do with the question. What does radar absorbtion/reflection have to do with a bomber being called a fighter. A fighter is a fighter because it can intercept and neutralize aircraft while the target is in the air. Attack aircraft is an attack aircraft because the can destroy targets on the ground, a bomber is a bomber because it was designed to drop bombs. Yes there are a lot of blurred lines in the modern military, but it has nothing to do with radar absorption / reflection.
I don't know about battle damage. I have a hard time seeing a person wear this with his Scott air pack. Maybe if the Navy went back to the O2 Breathing Apparatus, but even then there would be lump in the from and the lump from the exo on the back of person. It would make it difficult to get through a scuttle(Small round hatch like device use to enter an isolated compartment from above) or man hole( piece of metal normally bolt over the access hole of a void). Also in conflags their are a lot of tight squeezes, and I don't thinks this will fit into those. Of course if it means one at every locker for a member of the shoring, salvage, entry, or some other team, than probably.
The suit would lessen injury to logistics personnel. It could be useful for moving boxes, loading and unloading bombs from aircraft, and the sort. Now that the Navy is striving to cut man power with it's, Smart Ship it means less people are needed to do work of what use to take the whole ship during underway periods.
I wouldn't use this in the field though unless, it been in production for a while. Combat is a dynamic enviroment, and often takes place in the most punishing places. The last thing I would want is an untried piece of gear which might break miles from safety while my life was in danger.
I'm more excited at possible practical implications. LHC, may provides evidence to support theory. Petawatt laser, brighter than our sun, very little heat, possible uses in generating energy. Kind of hard not to get excited about the laser, even if it were built in europe.

We don't do it because SOME people feel entitled to get freebies while the rest of the world pays as they go.
You buy it and then taste it. Videos are even easier, you can rent them.
A family member of mine has an account with Netflix, and from what he described to me, it was all you can eat downloads. For the same montly fee.

Thanks, that line was going around in my brain when I saw your response freakin' awsome :D

So to save the Great Barrier Reefs we need to Nuke Australia. Sorry Australia its for the good of the planet, nothing personal.
