That technology is not installed on Apache helicopters. Drones, yes, but watch the video. The "kids" that you see on the tape are tiny white dots and there is no way to tell who/what those white dots were on the video.
You sir, are the one who has absolutely no idea what they are saying. 1. DOD does have an IG office. If you knew anything about the military, you would know that. 2. PFC Manning was a 96B (35F for you recent vets). That position comes with a security clearance. Each time someone is read on to a new unit, they have to get "read-on" to the facility where they work. Reading on is signing the agreement to not release classified information. 3. What's to stop an enlisted person from walking into a legislature's office? Their office buildings are public, anyone can walk into them. 4. The Huffington Post has press credentials. They are in the White House during their press briefings. So tell me more about the fact that websites do not have press credentials? 5. Your tin foil hat needs to be adjusted.
You are just an idiot. He's no Gary Gordon, Randy Shughart, Audie Murphy, or Daniel Inouye. Criteria for the Medal of Honor: "distinguished himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty."
While engaged in action against an enemy of the United States While engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force. While serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.[73][74]
War crimes, I do not think that word means what you think it means.
I didn't see anything that was against the rules of engagement in Iraq in 2007. So how were two white dots supposed to be identified as children from 2+ miles away? Plus, what kind of irresponsible parents drives their kids to the site of an Apache attack 2 minutes later?
There is no such thing as a registered, official press
You are right, there is no such thing as registered, official press. I never said there was. Where do you people come up with crazy terms that I never used?
There's a difference between public knowledge and classified information. He is not being prosecuted for releasing weather reports, stock values, or a crossword puzzle. Manning is on trial for leaking classified information. Big difference.
The prosecution is alleging that the document leak perpetrated by Bradley Manning directly aided the enemy (al-Qaeda) in their operations against the United States. So what's the problem with including testimony that documents leaked by Bradley Manning were present during the Bin-Laden raid? It's common sense.
You can harp on for days about how "the documents revealed war crimes" or "it was the right thing to do." Ultimately, the documents were classified, Bradley Manning signed a document stating that he would not reveal classified information when he enlisted in the Army, and did it anyways. He did not release the information the the DOD Inspector General, to a member of the House or Senate intelligence committee, or even to a legitimate member of the press corp. He released it to some foreign website with no press credentials. That makes it a crime. He's not a protected whistle-blower because he did not send the information to any of the above whistleblower channels. Even the NSA warrantless wiretapping whistle-blower had enough common sense to go through the New York Times, which meant he was protected as a whistle-blower.
The logical fallacy with "predicting" what turbulence was like 300 years ago is that there is no possible method of testing it. You have a hypothesis with no way of confirming. We cannot observe every air current on the planet at any given time today. Our ancestors 300 years ago had no method of taking atmospheric readings, save for what their eyes could see. It is easy to make guesses when there is no possible method of proving me wrong.
I could sit here and guess that the San Francisco 49ers are going to win the Superbowl. And if I did that every year since 1967, I would be right 12% of the time. There is no science behind that method, just plain guessing.
These same climate/weather models are a guessing science. Last month, the Washington DC area was supposed to be hit with a 12-18 inch snowstorm. The federal government shut down. When I awoke that day, I had 4 inches of snow on the ground. The same people writing this study are the same people that cannot predict how much snow will fall 12 hours before the storm starts. What makes you think they can go back 300 years and predict the weather with any degree of accuracy?
How do researchers know what turbulence was like in the pre-industrial era? Unless Ancient Astronomers took the readings and handed them down to us in carved stone tablets, we are merely GUESSING what the turbulence was like.
Can we switch ALL channels to a subscription model? I only watch 5 channels, and I would gladly pay $5 each for those channels and save myself hundreds of dollars per year.
I completely agree. In a hosting environment, Linux is the only way to go. However, this computer is not hosting anything. I use it for Outlook, internet browsing, and testing on forensic tools like FTK and Encase. The tools only run on Windows. Thunderbird is great for e-mail, but it lacks good calendar support, which is how all of my meetings are scheduled.
I have virtual machines on the Windows host so that I can perform command-line manipulations on the data that I pull out of FTK/Encase. All my other computers have Fedora, Ubuntu, or CentOS running as host machines. Fedora is for another specialized forensic tool, Ubuntu for daily use, and CentOS for my servers.
Because the article's author wanted his 15 minutes on the/. front page. CentOS (or RHEL server) base install is 1.6 GB without a GUI and takes very little time.

You were in the Army? Cool story, bro.
That was not a drone. It was a video feed from an Apache. You are a complete idiot.

Sparticus? If that is your *real* name. Sounds like a terrorist name to me!
I am a terrorist, if you are the Roman Senate circa 72 B.C.
Thank you for making my point. Classified information was put into the PUBLIC DOMAIN by Bradley Manning. Therefore, he is on trial for that.

Show me, with citation, what war crimes were committed that were revealed through the Bradley Manning document dump.

What could possibly go wrong with a large computer system continuously monitoring every American roadway?
If asked, would you guest star on Big Bang Theory?
Please incorporate this into my question. That would make for a funny episode.
Do you have any beef with the writers of The Big Bang Theory? Sheldon seems to mock/complain about Babylon 5 a lot. Did you loose a bet or something?

I was talking about the base install. My point was that 1.6 GB is not large by today's standards and does not take forever to install.

I have Fedora 18 running in VBox with a Windows 7 host at this exact moment.
He could cook it with lasers from his hands AND crack the shell at the same time.
You sir, have convinced a global warming skeptic, me, to want to do something about global warming.
