If the game was truly realistic, it would consist of 99% boredom/routine and 1% 'OMGZ!!!...WWTF?!?!?!
Most 'gamers' could not handle realistic war games, from any era. The 99% routine stuff would make the game similar to that 'drive the bus in real time across the desert' game, and the 1% would be so intense, they would go:WTF?!?!?!?, and have no clue what just happened to them.
Been there, done that, and have the 'salad' for the tee shirt.
Because war is a serious event in which people die (for better or worse).
Seriously? That's pretty selective and naive. Try this on for size: Because life is a serious event in which people die (for better or worse).
How would you feel if you were serving in Iraq while someone that same day is replaying similar events in the comfort of his home on US soil.
Well, if they bothered to occasionally send me a bag of Cheetos and some pr0n, I would be fine. If not, then I would still be fine with it.
Why would it even matter until/unless a mandatory draft(with no exceptions) is implemented? There have always been a 'civilians back home doing 'x', while I'm here in 'y' getting shot at' disparity of perspective since gov't.'s have sent troops away from home. For thousands of years this has been going on.
Well, if they're looking for a 'Massive Spam' solution, then instruct all DoD users to 'opt out' of all spam, open the networks to the bot-herders, and disabling firewalls and proxies. I'm sure I've missed a few things here, but this will provide a good start on getting 'Massive Spam'.
Oh, wait, are they talking about 55 gallon barrels, or hogsheads of Spam(tm)? No, it must be about shipping containers of Spam(tm), that's it! No? Now I'm confused!
ScuttleMonkey must be KDawson's understudy/minion. Aren't 'editors' supposed to edit any more?
Now I will have nightmares of a 'Massive Spam(tm)' the size of the planet Jupiter crashing into Earth, and killing all of the dinosaurs!...Again! Gee thanks, ScuttleMonkey! P.S. Have a HAZMAT crew on hand before you open my next x-mas card, 'editor'! (hint: if it's flaming/smoking don't stomp on it to put the fire out! Heh! Heh!-)
Well, first off*, you should have submitted this as AC instead of IndianaKim. Your anonymity may already be compromised. (this 'IndianaKim' looks good in black! Hubba! Hubba!-) [safe for work-but no guarantees on 'safe for wife/girlfriend', though...YMMV]
Secondly, as others have said, Tor+public wifi+wikilinks==decent solution if you fear hosting it yourself.
Thirdly, internet hosting is not the only solution here. News outlets/journalists love this stuff if there is any veracity!(well, whatever, YMMV)
And fourth, if the FBI and DoJ would be as interested as you believe, then it is your 'Patriotic American Duty as a Citizen' to give it to them. Really.
*LOL, 'IndianaKim' could also be a male Korean[or not] dude in Indiana! If so, no disrespect was intended[see:'subject']...just pointing out the possible problems of 'leaving tracks online' to be followed to the 'real world you'. I just liked the okcupid.com/pic's I found in the google search for that username, so I used that as an example!
I don't know what a 'remotely developed country' is, but selling young goats is pretty much lawful about anywhere in the world, IIRC.
Now if you are selling/transporting them across state or country borders, you may have some paperwork and regulations to follow.
He may be onto something though. Judging by my stepdaughter's friends, it may be easier to teach algebra to young goats than to teach human children/teens...
Then stay at McDonald's....with your offspring. Not all of us want subjected to that shite. (I cannot be more sympathetic, diplomatic, or politically correct than that)
Why should I be subjected, without choice, in a public place to the detriments, and discourtesy of your offspring and your lack of parenting skills?
The 'cliche' of "children should be seen, not heard" has good merit, IMO.
Your 'kids' may be 'darlings' to you, but they are not 'darlings' to me, and many like me. I got a vasectomy for a reason. Your brats do not supersede that, whatever you may think.
Do the world a favor and teach your kid[and yourself] some manners, and the concept of respect... If your parents did that for you, then this conversation wouldn't even be happening.
And they did not account for this? Sounds short-sighted from here. No judgment, just facts that were observable from many other's comments.
Are 'that' many businesses so stupid to think that 'wifi', or 'connected to the internet' will save their business model? That's sad, from the PHB's input being so valuable.
Either offer wifi to boost business, or stay with your 'move as many consumers as possible in x-time' model.
If you are doing your job as a PHB, this should be a 'no-brainer'. If not, then your dumb ass should be fired to make room for someone with a clue. Hint: the 'business world' is changing...dramatically, and by the second...not even by the 'minute'. Get 'on' it, or 'under' it, the choice is yours....'sink, or swim'...
I have a socket set that covers SAE, and Metric stuff. I can work on any vehicle since 1960. Is there a problem here?
Oh. it's just another 'change of language' that these damn punk kids insist on because they don't have the spine/balls to develop new concepts, and have to re-name the old to feel relevant?
Yeah, : PC==Personal Computer IP==Internet Protocol Call me a Luddite all you want, but it does not change the fact you can't be original, and are 'climbing on the backs/shoulders of Giants' to achieve some nebulous 'marketshare'/Imaginary Property metric.
Change the terms and delude yourselves to your heart's content, it does not change the underlying facts, no matter how hard you protest.
Keep insisting that lose==loose, their==they're==there, a==an, and a multitude of other mistakes are 'okay' because it's 'on the internet' mentality. Stupidity rules now!!! Equality of the masses, never-mind most of you can extract your IQ from your shoe size!...We only have to be 'politically correct', not really correct...Just don't piss on the white-washed fence, and all will be okay.
If you want to go there: "English, motherfucker, do you understand English?...say 'What' again, motherfucker!" *gunshot!!* (sorry if the concept is 'above' you) Hint: watch 'Pulp Fiction' for the modern no-fault explanation.
Yeah, take the responsibility of personal choice out of the picture. We are entitled, enabled, and should not be responsible for our own actions and choices. We are victims of marketing and advertising, and should not be responsible for our choices and actions...it is society's fault, not our own. Cry me a river!!!
When you want to point blame at someone, look in a mirror first. Period....Period again.!!! Anything else/less is just fooling yourself.
Complacency is an excuse, not a cause....GET OVER IT!!! Take some personal responsibility for your choices, or STFU and deal with it! Tuck your ankles behind your ears, lube your asshole, and deal with it if you think otherwise...I've no sympathy for you and your mindset...I actually hope you enjoy your violation if that's what you want/need/desire.
Ya know, there had better be more to this story that it appears, otherwise somebody needs to get their ass sued.
I agree one hundred percent. But who needs sued? We are lacking too many details/facts for this to even be an 'important' discussion, except for principles and semantics. We are basing this discussion on the affected party's blog with no other info.
Now I'm normally a 'first we kill all the lawyers' type and would normally support the cops on the grounds they are too hamstrung by stupid lawsuits and even dumber (or should I say evil?
I am just the opposite, however... I expect that law enforcement should be confined to the rules/laws that the rest of are exposed to, and have to abide by. Where I see us as different is that I believe Law Enforcement 'cannot' break the law and enforce it. Period.
While I may disagree with your viewpoints, I will both defend and acknowledge your right to express your viewpoints. You have both disagreed with my basic views, and honored my rights to support my own. I salute you, and your attitude of justice, fair play, and free speech.
First off, I mostly agree with your post. However.... Giving 'Corporate Guards' the same powers as the constitutionally defined law enforcement is just plain stupid. I will admit that this seems like a blog site scam to get page views. Having said that....
Don't go out of your way to be an asshat to cops. Act professional, and treat them as professionals as long as they allow that.
The biggest mistake this guy did was to talk back to the police.
That should not be an issue, but it really is nowadays.
It took my Mom 40 years to get the concept of 'honey/vinegar-flies' through my thick skull, and 'only go to the mat for the important fights'.
Be polite, professional, and respectful dealing with cops...document everything possible, ask for backup/verification/protocol of evidence, etc...!
Save your vitriol and 'attacks' for a good lawyer on your side in court....Look at it as a 'bang for bucks' issue. Get locked into 'fight to the death' issues when it is worth it to you. YMMV.
*It's all 'Calvinball' now days: "He who makes the best rules, wins!!"*
Protect a 'piece' of 'what'? Yes, you sound like an idiot...Anyone can proclaim 'Bullshit!', but can you back it up? [citation needed]
'fm6' has a practical point. You can be firm with protecting your rights, but always be 'professional' and 'respectful' in dealing with cops. I've had this work in my favor many times, and have seen your approach 'backfire' too many times to dispute his advice.
I won't bore everyone with anecdotes, but a good attorney and the courtroom is the best place to use your energy, not 'onsite' with the cop. Be firm with your rights, but respectful and professional, in dealing with the cops will get you further than most any other tactic.
Using your intellect, and not your emotions will gain you much here.
You are falsely setting up a binary 'either/or' problem, when in reality it is far from that.
Or, you feel you are heavily enough armed and supported to stage a revolution? Good luck with that.;-)
Okay, I'm a Zen practitioner, so naturally I would prescribe a 'water' approach here. (think: rivulets, erosion, etc....) Yes! Grasp it tighter! See who 'wins' in the end.:-)
Yes, it's a matter of principle and law. Because of you, and those like you, is the only reason we are even having this discussion. Period. Double Period.
Corporations and their rent-a-cops are not part of our law enforcement...whether you ascribe to it or not.

"Bing" huh, it reminds me of the sound of a ricochet and than makes me think...
[my mental image completed this sentence as...] ...of Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-long Coyote.
"Bing, bing, BING!, Ricochet Rabbit!"
IMHO, Microsoft is not anywhere near as cool as Ricochet Rabbit!

I suppose you have never had co-workers that were veterans to discuss this with?
You are too stupid for words.

That's even funnier!

Where the 'americans' are letting loose what?
Which 'americans'?
Canadians, Mexicans, Southern Americans from say, Brasil?
Obligatory Samuel Jackson:
"English, motherfucker! Do you speak it?"
If you can't even be bothered to be literate, stay off of forums moron.
Ah! You are correct.
I will just claim that I got hopelessly side tracked!!!!

Well, it started on twitter, now it's just moved to youtube. That's what makes this 'a computer story', not the fact it was posted to youtube.
As far as being televised, it depends on how much control the gov't. has over TV broadcasting. YMMV.
No.
Why? Is it some kind of hammer, like a ballpeen?

You need never worry about what to do for lunch again!
