  1. I would. on Feds Shut Down Elite Torrents · · Score: 1

    Joe Avg would too. I saw it by accident 5 days before it was released - but screeners are horrible quality, and you miss the movie experience. What makes you think that $6 for a movie is overpriced or out of the mainstream?

Most often, however, it is set at 3 or 4 years. In the survey, the age differentials reflected these variations.

    The current redhat / centos kernel out right now has a bug that made my functioning temps unavailable on my office's quad opteron server. It's a known bug, just wait for the next release.

    The areas that I've heard described as locations for "secret caves" where OBL has been hiding can't get a lot of traffic. My point being, why send troops to random locations in remote areas with difficult terrain when we can monitor those areas and look for movement - sending our troops via parachute to those locations to investigate?

  14. Re:Swift boats weren't liers on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 2, Informative
    Thurlow DID get a medal that day, but Thurlow did not know the exact reason - he assumed it was due to helping aid the boat that hit a mine.

    This is going to be a long quote, reading it isn't needed, but it will show you that Thurlow had no reason to question WHY he got a medal when his actions that day clearly deserved it.

    Kerry's third Purple Heart was his ticket home. It also was much of the basis of his Bronze Star, repeating "his bleeding arm" and shrapnel wound from the mine story. The problem is that his operating report was a total lie since Kerry's shrapnel wound "in the buttocks" came not from a mine at all as he falsely reported, but at his own hand. Larry Thurlow, an officer on shore with Kerry that day, recounts that Kerry's shrapnel wound came not from any mine, but from a self-inflicted wound when Kerry (with no enemy to be seen) threw a concussion grenade into a rice pile and stayed too close. See Exhibit 10, ? 3. This "brown rice" incident with rice/shrapnel lodged in Kerry from his own grenade is also recounted by James Rassman, a Kerry supporter and "the no man left behind" on page 105 of John F. Kerry: The Complete Biography By The Boston Globe Reporters Who Know Him Best, by Michael Kranish, Brian C. Mooney, and Nina J. Easton (New York: Public Affairs, 2004) (the "Kranish book"). See Exhibit 21.

    Most surprisingly, John Kerry himself (while falsely reporting to the Navy and public that he suffered a shrapnel wound from a mine explosion so as to get a third Purple Heart and go home) reflected in his own journal that his buttocks' wound came, not from any mine but, rather, from a grenade tossed into a rice cache by himself or friendly troops (in the absence of any enemy fire). "I got a piece of small grenade in my ass from one of the rice bin explosions." Exhibit 15, Tour, at 313; see also Exhibit 15, Tour, at 317. "Kerry . . . also had the bits of shrapnel and rice extracted from his backside." See also the sworn statement of participants that there was no hostile fire (Exhibits 6, 7, and 10). It also should be noted that the rice extracted from Kerry's backside could hardly be the result of an underwater mine, as Kerry claimed in his operating report.

    The conclusion is that Kerry lied by reporting to the Navy that he had been wounded by shrapnel in his backside from an enemy mine when in reality he negligently wounded himself and then lied about the wound in order to secure a third Purple Heart and a quick trip home.

    As recounted in the attached affidavits of three on-scene participants (and verified by many others present) Kerry's operating report, Bronze Star story, and subsequent "no man left behind" story are a total hoax on the Navy and the nation. As recounted in the affidavits of Van Odell (Exhibit 6), Jack Chenoweth (Exhibit 7), and Larry Thurlow (Exhibit 10) (and verified by every other officer present and many others), a mine went off under PCF 3 -- some yards from Kerry's boat. The force of the explosion disabled PCF 3 and knocked several sailors, dazed, into the water. All boats, except one, closed to rescue the sailors and defend the disabled boat. That boat -- Kerry's boat -- fled the scene. After a short period, it was evident to all on the scene that there was no additional hostile fire.

    Thurlow began the daring rescue of disabled PCF 3, while Chenoweth began to pluck dazed survivors of PCF 3 from the water. Midway through the process, after it was apparent that there was no hostile fire, Kerry finally returned, picking up Rassman who was only a few yards from Chenoweth's boat which was also going to pick Rassman up. Each of the affiants (and many other Swiftees on the scene that day) are certain that Kerry has wholly lied about the incident.

    Kerry's account of this action, which was used to secure the Bronze Star and a third Purple Heart, is an extraordinary example of fraud. Kerry describes "boats rcd heavy A/W and S/A from both banks. Fire continued for about 5000 meters." Exhibit 17. In other words, the boats

  15. Swift boats weren't liers on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 0, Troll
    They weren't liers. The liberal left leaning media has painted them as such, but Kerry has not addressed the claims of the swiftvets.

    In fact, there is now an official investigation in the Navy to investigate Kerry's medals. Including a silver star with Combat "V", which cannot exist as a Combat V isn't available with a silver star.

    Well, even right now, aren't mass copying and selling of a movie more criminal than passing it around for free online? It doesn't have to be in file format to be a crime.

    In today's world where you have Irons that have disclaimers stating it's not for use while Wearing clothing, I don't think it would be bad to ask people not to record or distribute the movie in any way. They do it on DVD and VHS tapes.

  20. Anything is worth more than $10,000 on PIRATE Act Introduced in Congress · · Score: 1

    The logic is that even if the file you have up for download is worth $3.00, and even if that file was only downloaded 5 times, you had it up and available to millions of users and the damage you could have caused was well in excess of $10,000.

    I guess this twisted logic is akin to attempted murder by making plans but without actually killing someone.
