    Both require a membership to listen and I beleive (but have not verified, like I am gonna pay for that) they they are not hosted on their respected domains.

    Again from personal experance..

    Any Senior NCO who caught me browsing Rush or O'Reilly on the Nipernet would have my ass. Just like my boss will if he sees me on slashdot :).

    I really think you are getting fired up for nothing. Relax!

    Deployed and Stateside Soliders and Marines alike have unrestricted internet access. Google around for MWR and Internet Cafe (Or just look further down this thread and read some other peoples comments). You don't worry about us and our ability to read about your thoughs about Bush, we can, after duty.

    I have been in both the Marines and the Army (currently in the Guard) and have not only been to the Internet Cafes but seen how they work.

    They are usually contracted out by MWR. Unit commanders have little or no control over them.

    Anyway.. seeing as you are in the Air Force I am sure you have been to commander briefings, some use Media Player for demos (especially if it is about furure tech). Most users only have 'User' level privledges over their work PC anyway. I really think you are looking for something that isn't here.

    Would you rather all sites be blocked and only approved opened? As I have said over and over the Nipr is for work (offical unclassified traffic). Walk over to the Internet Cafes for unrestricted access.

    Limbaugh and O'Reilly do not have streaming media.

  6. Re:Wouldn't that be ironic. on Are Marines Censoring Web Access for Troops in Iraq? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you look down the thread some you will see that bandwidh intensive audio streaming sites are being blocked.

    The http://www.disa.mil/main/prodsol/data.html NIPRnet is being filtered. The Soldiers and Marines can go walk over to a government funded non-censored 'Internet Cafe' durring of hours and browse the net without restriction. Most Marines/Soldiers have limited access to the NIPRNet anyway, the cafes are put in place for email and browsing purposes.

  7. Re:Wouldn't that be ironic. on Are Marines Censoring Web Access for Troops in Iraq? · · Score: 4, Informative

    No, they are not being filtered durring off hours. There is a completely differant non-censored government funded network available in the form of 'Internet Cafe's' that are available.

    The network we are talking about is the NIPRNET http://www.disa.mil/main/prodsol/data.html and any bandwidth intensive site will be blocked.

    No one has mentioned citizens giving up their rights, only deployed Marines/Soldiers.

    Its another to voice them durring working hours. They can walk over to the MWR trailor and do all the politicial crap they want. The point is that the network they are talking about isn't for casual browsing.

  9. Re:Wouldn't that be ironic. on Are Marines Censoring Web Access for Troops in Iraq? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    dude.. really.

    I am a also a sysadmin in the Guard and we do filter content, just like any other company would. That network is there for working not for casual browsing. It just takes one guy to pull up porn and offend a female before he loses a stipe and net access is taken away.

    If the troops/Marines want internet access for personal reasons they can go to MWR and get it, not durring working hours.

    "What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?" (James 2:14)

    You'd have to actually read it to know that, though.

    Let me guess: you also have to 'interpret it properly'.


    You do need to read the entire text. True faith transforms our conduct as well as our thoughts. If someone is a born again Christian then there actions will change. This is called sanctification. James 2:17 follows up this point (this is the same paragraph):
    In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

    Do you have any quotes from the Bible in which genocide and/or slavery are specifically discouraged?

    Here are a few:
    DEUT 23:15 (niv)
    If a slave has taken refuge with you, do not hand him over to his master.

    DEUT 24:7
    If a man is caught kidnapping one of his brother Israelites and treats him as a slave or sells him, the kidnapper must die.

  24. Devine Healing on Praying Doesn't Help · · Score: 1

    Faith healing only works if everyone involved has no doubt that it will work. Meaning everyone believes the person will be healed. This is shown many times when Jesus is healing the sick, just because they believe in him. If you recall he didn't perform many miracles in his hometown because no one there had believed he was the Christ. If you would like some scripture references let me know and I will post them at lunch.
