I've seen the 3 Swedish movies after reading the books, and they are not that well done, with the exception of the "brutal" scenes. They were really creepy.
The production value was really low, and only "Lisbeth" and the actor that played Blomkvist was even remotely good. The actress that played his best friend/lover was a total dog.
No movie will live up to the books, so bring on Michael Bay with some 'splosions.
The news was the court filing by Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald reporting that Bush, through Vice President Cheney, had authorized I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby to leak sensitive intelligence information in July 2003 to discredit claims made by former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV.
Obama, like Bush, has a horrendous track record of using "States Secrets" to cover the collective asses of this government and shield us from the big bad wars. Things like covering the illegal rendition and torture of innocents, like Maher Arar.

He's also using it to continually detain a man proven in court to be innocent, Mohamed Hassan Odaini, who has been wrongfully imprisoned for the last 8 years, in defiance of a court order that he be released. Why? Because mid-term elections are coming up soon. http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/06/21/pundits/index.html
The US government and MIC are monsters dressed in the stars and stripes and I thank %deityOfChoice% that there are sites like Wikileaks, and governments like Iceland who are beginning to see the light that is cast by transparency.
With the SCOTUS decision yesterday, the US can just put Wikileaks on the list of terrorist organizations, and Mr. Assange won't even be able to get a lawyer in the US, assuming he's still alive. The US government, or its people at large, don't care about rights of US citizens, who can now be extra-judicially assassinated (i.e. murdered). What do you think anyone would say if some Australian journalist disappears?
Only sites like Wikileaks can save us from ourselves. Getting the genie back into the bottle is a difficult task, indeed.
I work at a retailer that uses custom POS systems running on XP. These are low-end systems (512-1024 MB RAM). After the latest round of patches, many of these systems either ran out of system resources or would simply blue-screen and reboot. I originally attributed it to a patch + Intel video driver + Symantec, since I could disable either SEP, or the Intel video driver, and all would be fine. We originally had end users hit F8 and roll back to the Last Known Good, and that would fix it...until patches are applied again.
Interestingly enough, I've found that reducing the shared video memory in the systems' BIOS to 8 MB (from 32 MB) does the trick for these systems.
I can basically re-create the entire problem by re-installing XP SP3 + all patches, latest drivers, then install Symantec, and the problem starts.
The problem isn't really that it's someone else's money, cause that's true at all companies.
Perhaps for publicly traded companies who have willing investors, but no one forces me to buy over-priced stock in a company I don't believe in, I don't want stock of, and doesn't let me sell it when I know the "Management" sucks.
The U.S. Department of Justice has announced that it will appeal a federal judge's ruling that the government's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional.

Holy Crap! Now that is news!:P~~
We just missed the chance to educate 70+ million during the superbowl...a few million $$ for a 30-second commercial stating that Bud Light, being able to save you from an angry bear, isn't Theory, it's just stupid, like creationism...so drink up stupid!
On a more serious note... I agree that the general populus needs to be better educated on the word. I could have sworn that "theory" and it's definition was taught in the 9th grade earth science. It's unfortunate that smart folks are using the ignorance of others for their own agenda.
November 2, 2005 - This Service Pack removes the cloaking technology component that has been recently discussed in a number of articles published regarding the XCP Technology used on SONY BMG content protected CDs. This component is not malicious and does not compromise security. However to alleviate any concerns that users may have about the program posing potential security vulnerabilities, this update has been released to enable users to remove this component from their computers.
You sound like my dad who likes to use his email address when he signs up for "free porn" and wonders why he has another 20 spams/day...If you're actually getting 1 million spams a day, then your spam-filter-sucks!
Simple:
Change your email address and reject all emails not verified with a userlist. Then you'll get none (for a while anyway)

But when Palin claims to read all of the newspapers, do you believe that she may have slipped up, or do you believe that she actually does?
I think you have that backwards, and it therefore is an argument for the leaking of more. http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/11/29/wikileaks_yemen_revelations Source cable: http://cablegate.wikileaks.org/cable/2010/01/10SANAA4.html

Thanks to Wikileaks, we now know that the Saudis (some of them) are sponsoring terrorists. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/shocker-admits-saudi-donors-chief-financiers-al-qaeda-leaked-cable/ The US government has given rise to just about every original terrorist out there: Taliban-Al Qaeda, Bin Laden, Saddam... http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/ http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/dec/31/iraq.politics More recently, the FBI created a "terrorist" (Christmas Tree) almost from whole cloth. http://wonkette.com/431185/u-s-government-now-creating-terrorists-so-it-can-arrest-them Since we're kinda making terrorists ourselves, but ignorant policy and a more ignorant populace will keep the terror dream alive. I welcome the Wikileaks dumps. Our government has done more "harm" where terrorists are concerned than any other country on the planet. It's our own fault we keep doing this to ourselves, then ignoring it. Every administration since Regan has lead us to where we are.

You can then go to a website, and enter codes, to see who you voted for, yes?
No!
Obviously you haven't had much experience with either, or you would understand that isn't the case at all.
