Robert Rackstraw stories always amaze me, mostly because we forget so much about what life was like during the Vietnam Era. There's a lot of context missing from this analysis, like how so many people went around claiming to be D.B. Cooper during the 70s and how a good number of them had similar military training. This is back when Soldier of Fortune was a guide to being manly and a life of adventure that didn't involve a snowboard was still to be had.
You could apply the same logic the author does to the cases of Ted Mayfield, Richard McCoy, and a few others to reach the same conclusions. Robert Rackstraw is undoubtedly a badass and someone I'd love to have a beer with, just the stories about his Silver Stars are pretty incredible.
But, when you consider all the other things he's done, for Rackstraw to be DB Cooper is outside-the-realm-of-possibility amazing. Apply some common sense: how could he have done this without some help from the FBI? Why would the FBI protect someone who also stole an airplane trying to fake his own death?
I think the author watched too much A-Team as a kid and has a fascination with Murdock.
It's more like Bolshevism, with small groups of the disaffected trying to change cultural norms to suit them despite the fact large numbers of people are really not supporting their arguments. Reminds me of other cultural revolutions, which always devolve into orthodox ideological arguments, reeducation, expulsion of non-conformists, and tons of propaganda.
This article really got me thinking about Democracy and the discontent. While some good comes from entertaining thoughts of mass social change, it's rare.
The youngest of them - in his 20s - thought the story was lame and was put off by the "galactic scheming." He felt like the movie was really stretching to find motivations for the actions of the characters. Kylo Ren is the one he complained about the most, he said nothing he did made sense.
The oldest of them - in his 40s - enjoyed the new ships, redesign of older ones, and overall special effects. He said the depictions of space battles were well done, but the camera moved a little too fast for his taste. He didn't have much to say about the plot, other than to recount some of the facts that happened.
Not having seen the film, I can't comment on why there may be a different appeal for different generations. The thing that bothers me about the movie is the distribution deal Disney worked out with theaters. To show the film, they had to agree to keep it on screens for at least 4 weeks.
I remember going to see The Force Awakens on a Friday night a few weeks after it was released. The theater was empty. An usher walked through the theater a couple times just to make sure we were being behaved. That memory stands out more than the film.
I don't know about you, but watching a movie in an empty theater feels creepy.
Have not seen it, a number of friends have. Mostly a tale of people running around the galaxy and trying to destroy each other while talking about cosmic fates.
Good if you have always wanted to see massed AT-ATs locked in combat. Bad if you enjoyed the original movies and are expecting something of that quality.
Yes, definitely, local team restrictions are a bit of a pain. It impacts people following non-local teams too, you can't see your team when they play each other.
Of course, there are ways around that. You could watch it on a TV, but I just connect to a VPN. Does not impact the quality.
I am a Patriots fan living in DC. Every Sunday, I find the best feed on Reddit to watch the game.
By contrast, I watch Red Sox games on MLB.tv. Cost about $100 for the full season in HD and no commercials. Gladly paid it and watched maybe 75% of games last season.
In the NFL, all but 8 markets have sub-par teams. No one really wants to watch their team lose every Sunday, they want to see the games people will be talking about next week. Or at least be able to check in on them. Market exclusivity is hurting the NFL more than any other factor.
Stopped programming, began researching applications of industrial materials. Going into startup phase of new business after successful exit from software company.
Finding raising capital is relatively simple compared to selling software.
He filed an NLRB complaint, which is pretty serious. The state of California also has strong whistleblower protection laws, I imagine pushing forward with a complaint there would bolster his NLRB case.
IANAL but believe a sober analysis of his memo would be unfavorable for Google. The thing about courts is they are not mobs, the words there would be interpreted very differently.
Very proud of the return for investors. Plans to keep working on the remaining counts, this will likely end up being appealed.
I actually believe this was all a marketing campaign for him personally. The fact he's still in some form of legal jeopardy doesn't seem to phase him much.
He recognized that the costs of a necessary medicine are paid by insurance companies that gouge in other areas as well, and promoted the hell out of that fact. There's a part of me that wants to say this is some form of corporate theater, and he's auditioning for a much larger part in exploiting the financial system.
Almost as bad as Slashdot's current interface. Nothing appeals to me, nothing offends. It's like sailing on a sea of vanilla ice cream on an overcast day.
First, someone's personal life is their business. We are supposed to be building code, not snooping.
Second, he was doxxed. Fruit of the poison tree.
Third, maybe most importantly, who cares what you have to say about Gorean philosophy. They are BDSM addicts who play too much D&D.
Fourth, someone was genuinely hurt by seeing this doxxed screenshot. Let's not forget the victim.
https://twitter.com/DrupalScar...... with that in mind, we can't do something to keep the two separated? It's a HUGE community. Take him off session selection if you want. Chase him out - we can do better than that. We're supposed to be innovators. Find a better way.
While it may be tempting to think of the recent leaks as evidence of some broader point about cryptography, please realize the CIA is not the NSA. The only thing this proves is there is a huge gap in the capabilities of different agencies.
Actually, the DNC has a contractual and fiduciary responsibility to stay neutral in a primary, because they sign contracts to that affect.
Section 4 of the Democratic Party charter reads this way:
"In the conduct and management of the affairs and procedures of the Democratic National Committee, particularly as they apply to the preparation and conduct of the Presidential nomination process, the Chairperson shall exercise impartiality and evenhandedness as between the Presidential candidates and campaigns. The Chairperson shall be responsible for ensuring that the national officers and staff of the Democratic National Committee maintain impartiality and evenhandedness during the Democratic Party Presidential nominating process."
The chairperson was Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who resigned / was fired earlier today. The CEO of the DNC is Amy Dacey. But look at their emails and tell me if that lives up the charter.
Seriously, I have been contributing to Drupal for 13 years and have a pretty sophisticated understanding of how it works. The organizations that are successful with it are similar to ones that work with other platforms.
They are realistic with expectations. No CMS is a silver bullet.

Harlan Williams is still alive.
Stop replying to 110010001000.
This account is simply a troll who whitewashes any concern over CoCs / identity politics.
The author is trying to find ways to accuse anyone who does not agree with structural racism / sexism.
Like I said, understanding the root cause of psychological problems is something we can achieve through data sharing.

Several of my friends have seen the movie.
The youngest of them - in his 20s - thought the story was lame and was put off by the "galactic scheming." He felt like the movie was really stretching to find motivations for the actions of the characters. Kylo Ren is the one he complained about the most, he said nothing he did made sense.

I'll wait for it to come on HBO.

Quake is not an old-school game. Most first person shooters are just prettier versions of the same thing.
How about Sopwith Camel and Ancient Art of War? The later was the original tower defense game, only there was only one tower.

I heard his interview after the verdicts were announced:

+1.
The franchise prototype model is really the way most businesses should be run. It certainly is for PAAS and SAAS based businesses.
For that matter, an entire community holds grudges.
I am friends with most of the primary personae in this sad tale. It's unlikely I would want anything to do with about half of them ever again.
First, someone's personal life is their business. We are supposed to be building code, not snooping.
Second, he was doxxed. Fruit of the poison tree.
Third, maybe most importantly, who cares what you have to say about Gorean philosophy. They are BDSM addicts who play too much D&D.
Fourth, someone was genuinely hurt by seeing this doxxed screenshot. Let's not forget the victim.

Vi. Amazing what you can do with macros.
