Simply not true. One of the guys had an RPG and is clearly shown in the video with it. In addition, another US unit was under attack one block away.
Which guy, at what point in time in the video? What unit was under attack, one block in which direction exactly? If a unit was under attack, why were the helicopters mowing down civilians instead of helping the unit that was actually receiving fire? Why did none of these supposed enemy combatants try to find cover, if there was gunfire going on? Why did they not react to the presence of US military helicopters?
agreed, it was a big cock up by the gunner... i found that this happened is distasteful and the military needs to do better
on a side note i however have tried to find pictures of the AH64 cockpit, and as best i can tell, the Head Out display is about 4"x4"... how anyone is supposed to tell the difference between a stick and a gun on such a display is beyond me
It won't be long before we have public registries of parents whose kids misbehave in school, registries of people who buy pr0n, and registries of people who do anything else the masses of paranoid freak helicopter soccer moms don't like...
wait... people buy pr0n? what???? doing it wrong;)
Due to an unsuccessful rebrading, Xfinity will be rebrading themselves to !Xfinity, a name which they believe will boost their popularity tremendously in customer popularity and poor string sorting algorithms.
now they can point the finger at people, go, 'OMG Terrorist', and make money from it...
and before you dismiss this idea, think about what'd happen if you got arrested just for talking to someone discussing a fictional situation 'what if someone shot the president, what do you think would happen Bob?' (as from what i understand of the US First Amendment, youre allowed to ponder such an event, except maybe within an airport or aircraft)
In breaking news, Rob admitted he cheated on Katie, but Katie has dumped Rob, changed her status to single, and Mike is hitting on Katie on her wall hoping for a rebound hookup... Michelle is also flirting with Katie, and Katies friends are calling Rob a pig. Rob has threatened Katie with 'those pics'. We'll keep you updated as news comes to hand
you need a very decent upstream connection (sans throttling by overzealous ISP's - thats a whole different ballgame) to host a game in the way IW, and perhaps Carmack are suggesting... ie this is from the FAQ of Call Of Duty 2
to host a game (upload speed)
128kbps upload: 4 players
384kbps upload: 8 players
768kbps upload: 10 players
Id suggest that alot of people just dont have the upstream speed to cope with hosting a game... especially those of us in New Zealand, and Australia
I set up dual boot on my PC the other week on a separate partition on a separate HDD (i have Vista 64 installed already, installed Windows 9 Professional)... and the partition decided to corrupt itself after 4 days (probably would have happened with any other OS, bad luck is bad luck).
I formatted the partition and using True Image, i restored the partition to the way it was after the clean install (AV/Office/FF/handful of favourite progs installed). This took all of 30 or so minutes... and it's running fine... I'd suggest alot of people aren't backing up data, and crying foul when something fails during an install, upgrade, or the likes...
Dont forget there are requirements that such changes are 'legal' not just in the USA, but subject to laws in Australia, New Zealand, as well, at least for the US version... then there is the can of worms that is the EU (not being judgemental, but alot of the laws the EU have tend to look down upon a company changing the rules on their customers). As to anyone who says 'oh but your EULA/TOS is binding in the USA, even if youre from country X, ill say this: Im an ex WoW player, and im glad ive given up WoWCrack and im not a lawyer... but when a company like Blizzard, sells (yes i said sell, they SELL the game) the transaction is local in my country, and here, neither party is allowed contract out of your legal rights... infact Blizzard has already made reference to said laws a couple of times;)
I know there are many data recovery options you can use with Windows drives... but as a Windows user, could someone tell me if theres anything for Macs?
12 Months doesnt apply in New Zealand either... an item must be of acceptable quality to last for its reasonable expected lifetime... a PS3 would be expected to live longer than 12 months
Supposedly the top.5% of the rich list in the USA, got richer by $670 Billion USD in the 8 years Bush has been President... yet, the US Taxpayer is expected to bail out the rich...
It'd depends where you are (county/state/country)... and which Judge you face, and indeed, if you won a case, you would likely just see the company appeal it until they had no avenue of appeal left as the perceived potential loss of income due to a judge saying that people can quite legally sell games second hand with no consequence, or fees paid to the developer, easily offsets the cost of legal feels
Some judges in the USA have been shown to be notoriously in favour of extreme Copyright enforcement (even to the point that fair use isnt fair), and some are very much against the commercial enslavement of the general population by corporations and organisations such as the RIAA/MPAA
Indeed, in some countries, the game you buy isnt "rented" but purchases, even though the EULA may say otherwise...
sorry but in my opinion, MS will have to pull a great phone out of their Tech labs if they want to have a competitive phone in 2010... The mobile market is way more competitive than the PC OS market is, and whats nice now, could be worth nothing on the phone market in 12 months
yes the "70% of available bandwidth" is the issue which troubles me... im not a comcast user, but see it this way... 250GB per month? i can keep an eye on that... but id have no way of knowing what the currently available bandwidth from my isp was at any given time, so i would have no way of knowing whether im over or near such a target
I wonder if they mean any and all P2P applications? Not all P2P activity breaks copyright laws. World of Warcraft patches are distributed via its own P2P system, and Operating System Destros, such as Ubuntu http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/, can be downloaded via torrents

So well see news like this?:
In breaking news, Rob admitted he cheated on Katie, but Katie has dumped Rob, changed her status to single, and Mike is hitting on Katie on her wall hoping for a rebound hookup... Michelle is also flirting with Katie, and Katies friends are calling Rob a pig. Rob has threatened Katie with 'those pics'. We'll keep you updated as news comes to hand
agreed... I dont have high hopes... i hope the damned thing fails, thus, the Title is misleading ;)
People need to stop calling copyright infringement Piracy... its just the wrong word to describe whats happening

I made a typo... meant to say Windows 7 Professional... damned customers interrupting me :)

Remember, if its important, back it up...

they crashed a $125 million orbiter into Mars because they mixed up metric and imperial units... so im not trusting their math ;)
Supposedly its very possible if you use early 186.xx drivers... http://www.hardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445861 has a bit of a post about it

Bad luck for MS, a EULA isnt binding where i am
At FileShack you can find the ISOs for the http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/12826/Command+&+Conquer:+Red+Alert+-+Allied+Disc Allied and http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/12827/Command+&+Conquer:+Red+Alert+-+Soviet+Disc Soviet discs. Both are about 500mb downloads. Red Alert can be installed under Windows XP, 98, 95 and ME.
I get 20GB here in New Zealand, for $40 USD~ per month... where do i sign up
pretty much... the rich get richer

Very cheap compared to New Zealand http://www.vodafone.co.nz/mobile-data/3g-broadband-plans.jsp Broadband Pro plan will cost you $69.95 NZD (48 USD or 24.21 UK pound) a month on a 24 month contract, with a 3GB cap per month
