Now however we have the hyper reactive shrinking violet movement's new-think assertion that [affect theatrical crying jag] Words Hurt! [/end theatrical crying jag] ...Which is just flat out retarded on so many levels I can't even begin to try counting them. The whole thing is just devolving into an idiotic witch hunt spearheaded by a bunch of smug completely out of touch with reality assholes that think that they are morally superior simply because they haven't been caught up in their own machine yet.-Stoic Joker (June 08, 2014, 09:13 AM)
@wraith808 your post makes me think about censorship. There used to be George Carlin's 7 dirty words. But the situation has deteriorated to the point where radio call-in shows are censoring euphemisms for the forbidden words. Imagine if Clark Gable didn't give us the ability to say "damn" then all euphemisms for it would now also be banned. So on the sports talk show when the radio personality asks "why the heck did the coach call such a stupid darned play?" they would have to bleep the word "darned" and after a year or so they would ban "hell" so the word "heck" would have to be bleeped. And of course forget about a word starting with 'p' that sometimes refers to felines but often not.
At some point the talk shows will sound like midi sampling with some dialog mixed in.
But on your apology point, what I don't quite get is the double think that allows celebrity "scum" who had their names dragged through the scandal press(probably a redundancy these days I admit) to go about their jobs as if someone lifted the film on the magic slate. If none of the stuff was true how is it that guys like Marv Albert weren't awarded millions for defamation? Something is really strange.
But it does look like the Clippers owner messed up his chance to cry for Barbara Walters. But his "punishment" may be selling his team for the most money for an NBA team ever. Maybe that made it tough for him to shed a tear if he knew that deal was in the offing. Makes me wonder how I can screw up royally so I can set myself up for a lavish retirement.-MilesAhead (June 07, 2014, 05:17 PM)
@Renegade the gun that shocked me most was maybe 7 or 8 years ago. I picked someone up at the airport. Not only was the arriving passengers area separated from those waiting by a storm fence from floor to ceiling, but a 200 LB female security guard paced up and down with a Thompson submachine gun. I hope they didn't give her live ammo. Perhaps it was a bluff deterrent but it sure felt like America was spelled with a 'k' all of a sudden. Cheap air fares came at a really high price.-MilesAhead (June 07, 2014, 04:59 PM)
That is correct. However, you CANNOT play games from multiple computers at the same time. Not even different games. That is, only one computer can be playing one game at any one time.-skwire (June 06, 2014, 10:05 AM)
And so the measures of infection will be fixed to make sure there aren't ever any false positives? Isn't that a pre-requisite to doing any such thing? And what about downtime? You're comparison to the auto industry is disengenous at best. This would be more akin to making your car without warning not able to be driven because someone else that you in no way authorized toyed with your catalytic converter.
And... of course this would have no impact at all on AV subscription rates.
This seems... ill thought out at best.
Based on Sam Greenlee's controversial novel, THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR is a hard-hitting shocker that depicts a world in which the long-suppressed black man fights back with a vengeance. Director Ivan Dixon's uncompromising adaptation was relegated to bottom-rung status upon its release, and it subsequently slipped into oblivion for decades until the film was rediscovered and released on DVD in 2004. Lawrence Cook plays Dan Freeman, a head-nodding, smiling African-American who impresses his CIA cohorts with his winning demeanor. What they don't realize is that Freeman's friendly facade is nothing more than a mask for a deep seated hatred of white people. When he returns to his Chicago hometown, Freeman uses his newly acquired knowledge to organize an underground militant movement that revolts against the very army that trained him.
Dixon's matter-of-fact approach to the material makes the film an even more powerful experience. It also manages to transcend the Blaxploitation genre by making a broader statement about the devastating effects of death and war. Featuring an impassioned performance from Cook (COLORS, POSSE), THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR is a frightening, but important, cautionary tale.
“The Spook Who Sat by the Door,” directed by Ivan Dixon and starring Lawrence Cook — with a score by Herbie Hancock, an old Chicago friend of Mr. Greenlee — was selected in 2012 for inclusion in the National Film Registry, a catalog of American movies of “enduring cultural or historical significance.” In a citation accompanying the announcement, the Library said that the film reflected a dimension of “who we are as a nation.”
After a successful three-week run in the fall of 1973 in Chicago and several other cities, the film disappeared from movie theaters, presumably because of its subject matter. The distributor, United Artists, never offered an explanation. Mr. Greenlee said that several theater owners had told him they were contacted by men who identified themselves as F.B.I. agents and ordered them to stop showing the film. The F.B.I. never addressed that accusation.

I can't sympathize too much with their moaning. Much as I like TrueCrypt, I've warned them repeatedly to be cautious about deploying or depending on it since (a) AFAIK nobody really knows who's behind it; and (b) it's a 'free' product - and sometimes free products just disappear without warning leaving you high and dry.
Guess I was right on both points.-40hz (May 30, 2014, 10:05 AM)
Which is why I lean towards that for free software that I'm really going to integrate into my workflow.The mistake these developers made was in believing that they still “owned” TrueCrypt, and that it was theirs to kill.
I have a "Truecrypt Setup.exe" 7.1a on my XP. If that's not ok I believe Filehippo keeps some old versions. http://www.filehippo.../download_truecrypt/-rgdot (May 30, 2014, 09:52 AM)
