"Whether Moore got his footage first hand isn't relevant. This is a classic example of the smokescreens his opponents blow in order to discredit him rather than address the core themes of his work."
Why isn't it relevant if he got footage first hand or not? The fact is the footage was taken from Iraq and given to him by cameramen.
Does a cameraman take his film hand it to the news reporter and say "Here you go"? No.. The reporter goes to the scene, sees what happens, talks to people there, asks questions and finds out whats going on. If you're going to report what is happening, it's probably safer to accept it from someone who has actually been there, rather than someone's "analysis". Moore does none of this but, rather, would guess at what is really happening in the footage taken.
And are you trying to say that Moore's movie is not a smokescreen to smear Bush? Come on... You have to see this.
and then when you're done reading that, you can read all about the psychology Moore uses to dupe the viewer into agreeing with this deciets.
His movie is pure propoganda and will strive to do anything for the viewer to like him. I find it funny that Moore asks Congressman if they would send their Children into Iraq to fight a war, but Moore himself didn't even go to Iraq to get footage for HIS OWN MOVIE!.. Does anyone else see the irony?
It's still pretty easy to make DVD player region-free. I mean, it's not illegal to modify your own hardware now is it? Is this where they are going now?
I am also a former Best Buy employee... The trick was that they ADVERTISED the item in the ad, but when a customer walked in to pick it up the response usually was:
"Sorry, it's out of stock" (This is minutes after the store opened on a Sunday)
or:
"Sorry, we didn't get any in yet"
This was followed by our job to try and sell them the step up, that would always cost a bit more and downtalk the one that was in teh ad.
So... This is just another scheme so that they can sell you a part to actually work on your car. Or even worse, make you go to the dealer *shudder*.. I can see it now...
"Well sir, the bolts to your air filter are remote controlled... You need this $300 remote to take the cover off and replace the filter"
What's next, the same tool to be able to take the gas cap off, because that too is locked down? Only this time they sell it as a dealer add-on rather than a part?
"Remind anyone of that scene in the movie 'Wild Wild West' where they extract the last thing the dead guy saw?"
The mere mention of that movie makes me think of
"An Evening with Kevin Smith" where he talks about the director of that movie that said he MUST have a huge spider in his movie. Best purchase EVAR.
Seems as though all of the exploits coming out against IE has finally got to them. I've counted about 5+ just from the Full Disclosure and BugTraq mailing lists in the past few weeks. All of them different in nature of thier attacks.

You may not have a problem with that.. but I think the government might.
Well, your medical history isn't classified, but if someone picked that up and looked through it and posted it on the Internet, you would probably be pretty pissed off and embarassed all at the same time. Not all unclassified information is PUBLIC information.

I'm sorry to say but it's NOT public knowledge to list what classification level service members have. This guy posted a document with several service member's names AND classification levels. Not only this it lists the base they are stationed at and their names and ranks. He was nice enough to blur out their SSN though...

Actually it is. He gives name of service members and what clearance level they have and provide evidence that they have a need to know for this information. I would say thats pretty sensitive.
What a weird day to regsiter a website and even considering his location... which is in Long Island.

That is your bair and switch scam.
Yeah... because then that would be called a monopoly. And we're all pretty familiar with those.

It's a quote from Kevin Smith in my grandparent post. The director said that almost exact phrase... which is why it's funny.
Atleast mine will have a section entitled: "How to get mod points in just 7 days!" :)
If you have always wanted to try it, try it already!
Well... I think someone submitted that as a Slashdot bug and they wrote it off as a Mozilla one instead.
