  1. Re:Wouldn't that be ironic. on Are Marines Censoring Web Access for Troops in Iraq? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I doubt you have much contact with the soldiers. Over 50% of the soldiers deployed country side are National Guardsmen. The vast majority of NCOs (non-commissioned officers) and the regular officers are middle class or above. The E-4 and below are mostly college kids. I've been in multiple different units. I have no idea what you are talking about when you say "BTW, a nice side effect is that every one of our troops there that dies is a unwanted poor person from here in the states" Believe what you want and enjoy the view from the high ground.

  2. Of course they are sensoring things... on Are Marines Censoring Web Access for Troops in Iraq? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If Marines are connecting to the internet though a DoD network, plenty of sites are being blocked. Thousands of sites are blocked at all military post. Also it's pretty obvious that any email, forum posting, or blog entry that they send are also cached. That being to make sure they aren't sending information that they should not be. (Anything that can comprimise the mission, sensitive information, or the lifes of their buddies) What's the big deal? How many corporations do the same thing?

  3. huh? on Record Labels Release Software To Combat Piracy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So how is this software going to differienate between the legitmate stuff I ripped from my cd collection in regular mp3 format, and the stuff I might have downloaded from something like bit tor?
