I did get to see "The Terminal" http://www.theterminal-themovie.com/ this weekend and I would say that it was an excellent movie. It's a shame that it is getting over-shadowed by other movies.
Moore does not speak in facts. He presents his twisted point of view. He make sure to NOT look at any of the facts. If he was sued, he would make sure to use that as his defense in court.
Oh, you won't hear anything from moore about Comrade Clinton. He's a saint in the eyes of the left.
"Bush overlooked the terrror warnings"
LIE
Hmmm, Bush's only error was to keep on so many Clinton appointees so long. Clinton ignored the terror warnings. Clinton appointees did their best to separate the FBI and the CIA so information could not be shared.
Moore only proves that people aren't interested in the truth. The shame is that anyone provided money for him to produce such garbage.
If I produced a movie that said that had such lies - but lies against the left - I would be labeled a "moron" or "idiot" or even (what they consider the worst insult) a "right-wing radical."
Moore speaks lies and he is lauded. He deceives people and he is rewarded.
Getting Rid of National People's Republic (NPR)? Now THAT is a good idea!
I have found that I don't listen to the radio as much as I did before. When I do listen, I tend to listen to talk radio (and not NPR, please! They just re-iterate the same BS the 3 main networks do; they're just another vehicle for the left). I can't stand listening to most of the radio stations where I live. The 2 hour play-list grows old quickly.
Maybe I have just turned into an old man though. Isn't the first sign that you are old is that you listen to listen to talk radio?
The situation with ClearChannel and Infinity owning most of the radio stations in America is a prime example of government changing a system that is working and eliminating competition. A removal of competition has never been good for the market.
Now, let the "conservatives are bad" comments commence!
oh, there's a "credible" source. Slate is so left of center they can't see straight. Too bad they didn't go under when they had a chance.
Frankly, Stern is getting old. He has done everything he is doing already and it's too easy to predict. I think he realizes it too and he wants to go out with a big bang. If you do listen to him, then you know that he's always bitching that people are copying him. He's right in some cases but Stern's problem has become that he is imitating himself too much. His show has lasted the test of time but it is time for him to move on to something else.
To respond to the parent comment, America hasn't really worried about countering Soviet/Russian weapons since the First Gulf War (when Soviet T-72's were blowing up like boxes of matches after contact with the plethora of Allied weapons).
There has been a long standing history of the 2 nations responding to weapons (or threat of weapons). The XB-70 scared the Soviets so much that they developed a whole class of fighters (the MiG-25 series) to counter what they saw as a serious threat. America built 2 B-70's and abanoned the project when they realized that high level super-sonic strikes would never succeed.
I think the fact that the Army is looking at unmanned aircraft to handle some of these missions is a good move. It should make for some interesting projects. I think it would be an advantage to be able to send a weapon into a very dangerous situation - one that would be a suicide mission - and not risk the life of our troops. Trained men costs more than machines. Germany and Japan in World War II were still able to produce airplanes even though most of their experienced pilots were killed. Unmanned vehicles would make for a much more efficient and stronger fighting force.
I just hope they don't outsource the software for unmanned vehicles over-seas.
No, luckily, I have been able to keep my job. I have some good friends who have been laid off though and sadly enough, it doesn't look like they will be getting jobs soon.
Maybe you had me confused with someone else. But, since you have hidden yourself behing the ac curtain, your comment doesn't really matter.
The big thing that companies see are the "total cost of an American Employee" which if you count benefits, Social Security, Unemployment and facility costs, might seem lower up front.
BUT, then there is the management issue of a bunch of off shore people which is a management nightmare. They always have the option of bringing them over on an HB-1 visa and cheating the system, paying them a lower wage and announcing a big "cost savings" in an e-mail to a bunch of executives.
Which opens a subject I was discussing today at work - HB-1 visa fraud. In case you didn't know, HB-1 visa fraud is rampant in the US. Something needs to be done about it. Why are we importing foreign labor when the Tech Sector Unemployment rate is so high? I am a political conservative (odd for Slashdot, huh?) but it is one question that I disagree with the government about.
I see more injuns in Western Pennsylvania than I would see on the streets of Bombay.
What you have to realize is that there is some boss out there who wants to be seen as a "Cost Cutting Company Man" and if he sees an opportunity to lay off what he deems as "lazy programmers" - even though he/she has NO IDEA what these programmers do - he/she will do it.
Another sector of the IS field is being slashed for the same reasons - the IS Support people. The reason for this is that most executives hate their IS departments (not all, most) because they don't understand what they are doing. If everything is running right, they don't hear about them and they don't think about them. If things go wrong, they are the first to point fingers. They want to know why it can't all be done off shore for less money.
The problem with American business is that too many suck-dicks have gotten into Executive Management and have no one else to stab in the back in front of them. So, they look back and step on all of the "little People" while they steal money from the companies all in the name of "business." They are not qualified for their jobs - how many of you run into high level executives who ask questions like...
Why do we need so many servers?
OR
You just got new PC's 2 years ago! Why does that person needs a new PC? - oh, by the way, did you get that (high cost) ISDN line run to my vacation home in the mountains? And that T-1 to my house seems bogged down (with all of the porn server/spyware that my kid downloaded through the company system)
There is no quick solution. You just have to hope that their bad business decisions will eventually blow up in their faces and business will return to normal.
All that's needed is for some off-shore injun company to share company secrets and screw over a big company such as MS or IBM and the rest of the world will start to wake up - if we are lucky.
The points that people are making are correct in the fact that the RIAA needs to prove Intent along with guilt.
I would love to see someone bring a "hacking" charge against the RIAA and have some of the new anti-hacking laws pound the RIAA.
Now THAT would be cool!
What I find is rather funny is that the RIAA is only going to end up clogging the court system and prevent cases dealing with drug dealers, rapists, child abusers and other REAL CRIMES that hurt real people from being tried.
Maybe the RIAA is trying to protect a lot of the musicians because they usually fall into the category of drug dealers, rapists, child abusers and REAL CRIMINALS. With the courts tied up, their "clients" can delay their pending litigation.
That's not correct. My co-worker's pistol was stolen from his household by his child's friend. The friend was involved in drugs and used it in multiple hold-ups.
My co-worker reported it stolen. The police took the report and did not give him any problems.
They eventually found the kid with the pistol and arrested him. He had held up 3 different places with the weapon and was suspected of murder on an individual with the weapon. He went to Jail.
BUT
In the time they took to find the kid, my co-worker was issued a big insurance check for the pistol (the pistol was a rather rare pistol). So, he was able to get another pistol. The police kept the rare pistol.
My co-worker never was a suspect nor was he held in the crime.
Don't let people think that just because you are a gun owner, you are a suspect. If you are honest and a gun owner, you have nothing to fear.
I am guessing the Gauls were very upset about the Romans imposing their culture on their people and land...
Wait, they wouldn't have been "gifted" with "French" culture had it not been for the Romans.
American culture wouldn't proliferate if people weren't interested in it. People want to see American movies and watch American TV - if they didn't, the rules of the market would push it out of circulation.
But then again, there is a large population of North Americans who want to be in America (hence America's major immigration problem on it's southern border).
Maybe you should go and preach to them that they should stay in their country and be happy with their culture?
Ever notice people so concerned about the environment drive SUV's?
Ever been over seas and notice you can't breath the air because it's so poluted?
Why does the left (the green weenies) want to take America back to the stone age with their Kyoto treaty?
Why do people think Abortion is the only issue that they should vote for? (both sides of abortion)
If a candidate is trying to impress you with his "environmental" record or his "abortion" record, you should seriously consider NOT voting for that candidate. They are lying to you. They are hiding something.
Of course they are cash-flow positive. They aren't paying any of their creditors. I'd be rich if I didn't pay my bills! It's the same story from most bankrupt technology companies.
I would even use Mandrake again if it weren't from France!
Wasn't that the original DivX player? Where you had to pay to watch a movie that you bought.
The Big Media companies are stupid.
Anyone who wants to legislate people into their archaic position should be asked to leave the planet. What is this? Europe?

You configure it to talk to your WAP.
This product works a lot like a flare that is used to distract missiles or other military ECM. It's meant more as a distraction. I am surprised someone didn't come up with this idea before now.
I think the point is that it will waste the potential intruder's time - not that it will totally secure your network. If the potential intruder WANTS to get in, he/she will get in eventually. This is to confuse someone trying to just do a drive by hit.
Then again, there is no stopping luck - what if the person hits on the right access point the first time?
I haven't seen any studies on wireless where people are finding Wireless AP's with the "Broadcast SSID" turned off (NetStumber can't find WAP's if you have the "Broadcast SSID" turned off)and MAC security enabled (you can clone a MAC address but you have to have a card that can do this function). If you are going to run a Wireless AP, why would you let any MAC hook into your system and why would you broadcast your wireless AP? Ok, you might have some clueless users who don't know how to configure their laptops and yes, it is a pain in the ass to have to distribute the SSID and the encryption Network key to everyone but why would you make it that much easier for an intruder?
If you have a WAP that doesn't let you turn off the broadcasting of the SSID, why don't you research into either flashing the firmware to enable this feature or buying one that does let you do that? They aren't that expensive anymore.

There are also a lot of websites that deal with Mr Moore's works. They might be worth reading if you find his works interesting.
