yesterday it was all over cspan. 2 billion, no 91 million. and the scholarships will be given in the same manner that current ROTC scholarships are distributed. That is... 4 years school= 4 years in service to the federal government. As an IT in the Navy i think that this is great, as long as the government realizes (which they do...at least they said they do) that people are not going to get a 4 yr degree that can earn them 90-120 thou a year and then work for the same s**t wages that i work for (17 thou a year.) It is only an idea at this stage, part of Clintons budget proposal, but i think that the United States needs this, and bad. It has been known for the last few years that several countries have developed offensive groups that have targeted the United States infrastructure, as well as branches of the federal government. I would encourage those who are quick to judge to watch CSPAN and develop an honest, informed opinion instead of a knee-jerk reaction. that that is, is that that is not, is not
FCC has been holding hearings on this subject, here is their web page: http://www.fcc.gov/bandwidth/ http://www.fcc.gov/broadband/ some of the hearings are in real player format.
this is great, technology is finally being made to conform to society instead of vise versa. for those who do not know, MIT has been working on a project coined "oxygen." the concept is interesting, along with some of their uses- this molecular level chip could be just what they are looking for. Interested? read scientific american augest 1999. forgot the mit url, but im sure some of you "addicts..4hr a day" will be able to find it!.
ok, i was the only one in the the movie theater to laugh the entire movie. Anyone else out there, please let me know.
first point of humor in this waste of a film. if you ever get lost in the woods and you find a creek/stream....YOUR NOT LOST ANYMORE! also- only morons could walk for a day in one direction (as per the compass) and not know that in order to get out you turn your silly ass around and walk a day again.
second point of humor: what the hell is up with them telling her to turn off the camera so many times? don't know about the rest of you, but if something/someone was screwing around with me like that i would defiantly NOT be filming!! just couldn't get over that...course i have yet to see the original footage so maybe they were a little free with their artistic license on this rendition......help me out with this one??
finally- going through film school i could see how a person would eventually come to the realization that the world is a hard place to make a buck as a would be director...i could also see how three kids with (a little excess abstract thinking and too much time on their hands) could come to the conclusion that if the were to somehow, well....lets just say FAKE!! their own disappearances(deaths)....and lead the general (and overly gullible) public into thinking that it was due to some witch; well- they could make it to easy street.
i went to the movie expecting something a lot different. thought that i might see some of the original footage, some of the investigative reports and then some of the artistic remake-
overall, good movie for humor and future horror development, (the other comment about the lack of music in the background was right on the money), but if your bighting off on the legitimacy of the movie- get out of the gene pool(here's a tip on how to do it....go out into the woods)
