Truthfully, the NDAA is vague in the use of terms such as "requirement". It states: "The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States." This can be interpreted to mean that the military is not required to detain US citizens but does have the ability (most common interpretation) or that "requirement" in this instance means "ability". Section B is: "to have participated in the course of planning or carrying out an attack or attempted attack against the United States or its coalition partners." Now, who other than the governing body is to say that taking down government sites is not an attack against the United States?
This is what scares most people. The government gets to decide what is and is not an attack. UMF actions aside, if Iranian or Chinese hackers DDOS's the stock markets, you better damn well bet that the government would declare it as such.
Do you trust the "Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences" to honestly award the oscars based on the quality of the movies submitted? Well, you might or might not but they are after all industry experts or at least members of the industry.
Numerous actors including John Wayne and Denzel Washington have admitted that AMPAS and the persons voting, do not go by the quality of the pictures themselves, but by who they think deserved the award, even if it is years later. An example would be True Grit, the only movie John Wayne won an Oscar for. Even he admitted it was given to him because it was believed that he had earned years before and just hadn't been given to him.
The geek pursuing his free movie fix has no such leverage.
And what about the geeks who pay to use the service legitimately who have now effectively had their money stolen by the government over a civil matter?
In today's hyper-security-everything-is-a-threat-and-everyone-a-terrorist world, you're damn right she would be. And with the bullshit new law, she'd be taken into custody by the military and held indefinitely without trial. The teabaggers would use her as an example so they can have being a minority outlawed.
The reality is, though I heartily approve of protesting the bullshit the DOJ and it's *AA friends are doing, I fear that actions like these that Anon are taking, will do nothing more than give fuel to them and allow them to get more bullshit laws and regulations into effect that will harm us even more.
My analogy for the day: The bully beats you up for your lunch money. You spit in his face. He then proceeds to cave your skull in and take your shoes.
He says: "It is the right of every Indian citizen to voice his/her opinion against what he deems objectionable." Would it not also be every Indian's right to voice their own opinion regardless of whether someone else sees it as objectionable? No matter what you say, someone, somewhere can and will take offense to it. It is the way of humanity to have dissenting opinions.
Or it could be that, a great many of us just don't care enough about the plot of TinTin to actually want to see it. I had no inclination to do so until my 9 year old asked to see it.
One of the issues is that the studios just do not want to invest in something that they do not feel is well vetted and with a big name. Prime example of a really good movie is "Strictly Sexual". Great movie, great plot, fair actors. Movie studios wouldn't make it, instead they went with the Ashton Kutcher "Spread" a year later. It bombed miserably ($249k revenue) even though it was a good movie. Meanwhile, Strictly Sexual was release free and has stayed on the top of Hulu's top 5 list for well over a year and spawned a short lived TV series.
Best 2 stations I can find anymore are Project 96.1 (Atlanta FM Rock) and Lithium on Sirius. Other than that, I can listen to a station for roughly 1-2 songs before I have to turn it to find something I can stand to listen to.
I have a hard time believing that the only way movie studios could get theaters to upgrade was/is to push 3d. One of my good friends, and up&coming director, managed a theater near my house. His company was told by the MPAA's associated studios that they had to upgrade to digital because they were going to stop shipping film. And they did. The theater had to close for 3 weeks to wait for new digital projectors because all of the movies that had been delivered, were digital. The movie studios produce the content, without content, the theaters can not survive. So the studios could merely set a deadline of X date and demand the upgrade or the theaters would not receive new films. It happens in numerous other industries everyday.
I will not pay for 3D movies because they give me and everyone else that I know, raging headaches. I took my daughter to see TinTin in 3D because she wanted to see it and all of the theaters in the area had 3d showings all day, while 2d showings were early and would force me to take off of work and hold her out of school. 30 odd minutes into the film, she was in tears because her head was hurting and she was feeling ill. The theater wouldn't refund the money. So not only did I waste $30 for a movie, but had to deal with a sick child while battling a raging headache. SO much fun...
I have an iPad 2 and I have a Touchpad with Cyanogen's alpha android build. I haven't touched the iPad since I installed android on the touchpad. The iPad is about to go on ebay.
The type of material used would affect the cost of "thinner and stronger". The molds themselves would not be more expensive. You are making 1 piece of plastic instead of up to 5 different pieces that netbooks can have. So even if the netbook was less complex in molding, you still have an added assembly cost just for case assembly.
No, it's because of increased accuracy. We're talking about being able to do quick math on the battlefield and get measurements down to precision values that are easily understood. If I tell you to adjust your mortar.034 inches, I've made it vastly more complicated than just saying 1mm.
T-Mobile $50/ month plan with unlimited talk, text. Data up to 1GB at 4g speeds, after that slowed to 3g. I'm running with a 2 year old HTC HD2 (work horse) running WinMo 6.5, WinMo 7, 3 flavors of Android and a full Ubuntu install. i will not be upgrading anytime in the near future but this was easily the best phone purchase I've made when it comes to cell phones since 1999.
I've used handguns for hunting many times. It can be a far more difficult challenge than hitting your target from 400 meters with a.308 or other rifle.
You could also list them as a deterrent to criminal activities
Most states have very strict laws about the carrying of a concealed weapon. This is why your standard weapons permit only allows you to own the weapon and a CCW (Carry Concealed Weapon) permit does. CCW's are highly regulated to such an extent that most average people with no criminal history can and will be denied them.
Knives of any form are considered deadly weapons. This is why you are charged with "assault with a deadly weapon" if you harm someone with a knife or any object that can take someone's life. Hell, they took forks and knives away from us my sophomore year in high school because 2 girls stabbed each other with the plastic utensils at school.
$70 a month, unlimited talk, text, data (3g/4g), roaming, long distance, international to Mexico and Canada. HTC HD2 was financed 2 days after it launched, broken into 5 payments attached to my bill. Pretty damn decent if you ask me.

how well did that work out for Wikileaks or Julian Assange? Arab spring was awesome, but he's being extradited and wikileaks is bust.
The wonderful thing about a conspiracy theory is that when it's true, you get to yell "I TOLD YOU SO!"

Leave Rangers out of it.... send in the marines, they aren't really that great for much else.

You mean as in sending attorneys to congress to appear before the hearing committee and testifying to how SOPA/PIPA would harm the internet? Oyama was the only anti-SOPA witness allowed to testify

That's the definition of an iPad(2). FTFY

You can't just include murder. That will only include 1 type of violent crime. You have to look at all crimes using a firearm including robbery.
I'm sure Field and Stream would agree link
