True, very true to all of the above. This does beg a few questions however. Has creativity reached the wall? Has everything under the sun been done before? I'm sure a lot can agree also but I've pretty much seen, heard or read everything under the sun. That might be the problem also. Between the news media, hollywood and TV, I don't think there's anything left to touch upon that any of us have not seen before. But I'd say so far we are still somewhat safe since we haven't seen yet movie takes on things like LAND OF THE LOST or H.R. Puff n' Stuff, The Banna Splits, The bugaloos or Sigmond & The Sea Monster. Okay, Okay stop. Don't give them any ideas!

quote:Originally posted by Wolferz: This one begs other questions.. Why was this guy being brought in by ONE deputy? Why was the deputy packing a weapon? I have seen the inside of alot of jails and not one of them allowed a weapon to be brought in by anyone. Same for courthouses. Common sense is indeed rare. Yeah it's Georgia guess we should expect things like that. Inbreeding does have it disadvantages after all.

Why wasn't this guy in cuffs. It should be common policy from now on. I don't care who you are you should be cuffed until you are out of the court house.

quote:Originally posted by Race Bannon IV: Thats a good analogy Lost. Like H-K is like BC and the other game would be like Privateer? I would say that's a most accurate analogy.

quote:Originally posted by Race Bannon IV: Still doesnt answer my question..how does this game compare to Hunter Killer? Sorry, I can't answer that from personal experience since I've never played Hunter Killer. It's the only sub game I've never played. But from reading up on Hunter Killer it seems to be more micro managment oriented like Sonalyst's Sub Command (which I do have and played). I guess you can say it's like comparing Battlecruiser to other space sims.

quote:Originally posted by Race Bannon IV: Give the liberal bashing a rest FOCUS on the movie Lost....Been reading about this in AICN and the like for awhile cant wait for it. Fox maybe it'll be out in time for our visit this summer? I was and am focusing on the movie but you can't talk about a movie without also including censorship. I was making a point that this film could be altered because of it. If you think I'm kidding, do a search for Smoking in Film.

Dang it time ran out. From Jawa: quote:Another Sgrena version of the story from Il Manifesto: The Americans shone a flashlight at the car and then fired between 300 and 400 bullets at if from an armoured vehicle. Here's a comparison from a link provided by Jawa Comparing Sgrena's recollection of events(one of many so far) of 300-400 bullets fired at her vehicle with that of Bonnie and Clydes bullet ridden vehicle I'm Calling BS On The Commie quote:Originally posted by Jaguar: BMEWS Exactly.

Here's some possible pics of the car damage The Jawa Report: Images of Sgrena's Car quote:If this is the car then it would contradict earlier reports that Sgrena's rescuers had used a truck. JAWA: Terrorist Choice in Vehicles Used for Sgrena Escape Plan: A Truck! quote:Terrorist Choice in Vehicles Used for Sgrena Escape Plan: A Truck! UPDATE 4:05 Central time: Italian television station Tg1 reports that a car was used. I have pictures up here. Not sure which report to believe yet..... This important and overlooked new detail arises. If you have seen as many jihadi videos as me then you know that the vehicle of choice is the small Japanese pickup truck. Check this WaTimes article out: The left-leaning Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported yesterday that Mr. Calipari decided not to use available escort protection from the elite commandos who protect ItalyÔÇÖs Baghdad embassy. Instead, he rented an inconspicuous pickup truck to recover Miss Sgrena, wrote La RepubblicaÔÇÖs top investigative reporter, Giuseppe DÔÇÖAvanzo. A freaking truck? Are you kidding me? You rented a pickup truck to drive down a road where terrorist are known to attack daily?!?!! The vehicle has been located and a preliminary investigation reveals that "Something that car did caused the soldiers to fire."

Have a read here:The Jawa Report quote: .....Apprently Sgena did suffer a shrapenal wound, but this is consistent with the soldier's version of the story that the engine block was shot which would cause metal debris..... ....What Il Manifesto forgets to mention is that Sgrena was taken by the evil American forces to a US Army hospital for treatment. Right, very unafe....

Hmmm, I wonder why CNN is quiet with this story. Not one mention of it on their web site.

Umm, when is NBC going to learn? They tried it with coupling now they are picking on The Office. NBC: The Office Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. Depends on what they do. Is it going to be just a clone as in word for word script as the original like they did with Coupling? Wonder if they are going to do without the laugh track also.

quote:Originally posted by JUDGExKTF: No it should have said: Where the law is crooked enough to allow such a thing because in Europe this is never going to happen. I've mentioned this in other posts but NY is the capitol of the world for this funny that it's also a Liberal and Democrat strong hold (a correlation?).

quote:Originally posted by Wolferz: 1: Sorry LIS, we will never ever see that happen because; The transnational Corporations, banks, and the people who are getting rich from them will never let that happen. They have infiltrated the government to such an extent that they have control over a massive amount resources. Their intent is not to protect the peoples of the world, they couldn't care less. Their only intent is to protect their investments and swell the bottom line. 2: We have already seen the expose's regarding charitable work and how easy it is to skim/scam them for fun and profit. 3: Mr Fagan's comment hit the nail on the head and he too is being hypocritical about it because he knows full well that, HELL NO! we aren't going to tell them. I use the term "we" very loosely because every one of us who cares for others would warn them of the impending disaster. So let them have their day in court. I'd bet money that they will lose the case. 1: Yeah, I know. 2: I don't think they do it for fun but for one thing GREED. Gotta grab that money!! 3: Yes, I agree about warning people but we can only do that the best we can and what the other people recieving this information do about it. Right now it's just a legal fishing expedition to see if there is case againt NOAA/U.S.. It'll be interesting to see how this unfolds.

High Beam: It was only a matter of time. quote:Agence France Press reports that 15 German and four Austrian victims of the Asian tsunami are suing the U.S. government, the Thai government and the French Accor hotel chain in which they were staying at the time of the disaster. Instead of filing the suit in, say, Thailand, where they were actually vacationing, or Indonesia, where the quake struck, the litigious Europeans found a way to file in a New York district court, where pockets are substantially deeper. Coincidence? We think not. The Teutonic litigants are blaming the U.S. ... Yahoo News: Tsunami victims to sue French hotel chain, Thailand, US forecasters quote:"The US government claims 'we are the protectors of the world'. (But) if we know there is a tsunami on its way to wipe out a major population, do we tell them?," asked US lawyer Edward Fagan. It's statements like that that prove what some here have said, as well as I, we need to knock this stance off pull out everywhere and just concern ourselves with our own problems telling the world "sorry dudes you are on your own from now on". I first saw this on Fox5 news, a few minutes ago, but they do not have this story posted yet on their site.

I agree with everyone's comments on this. This operation should have been conducted with close commmunication with american officals and forces especially the way Iraq is now. Seems that everyone who was important to keep informed was kept out the loop and we all know the results of this. This Lone Ranger routine just won't cut it. Well who didn't see this coming: CNN: ROME, Italy (CNN) -- An Italian journalist shot by U.S. forces in Iraq shortly after being freed from captors disputes a U.S. account of the incident in which she was wounded and a security agent protecting her was killed.

Hmmm, there's a few people involved in this we have not heard from such as the driver. I wouldn't believe a word Sgrena says since she, due to her politcal, anti-american and Iraq involvment view point, without any doubt is going to paint this as an American fault. Besides, it was dark she was probably tired and withdrawn and afraid because of her captivity and didn't know what the heck was going on around her before or even after this event.

Hmmm, this one slipped under my radar Gamespot: Video game sprites are trapped in a 3D game world, and it's up to you to help them escape. Darwinia immerses you in a digital battlefield where clever strategies are important for survival. quote:Nearly three years after taking the underground gaming scene by storm with Uplink, Introversion Software is poised to release its follow-up title, Darwinia. Combining fast paced action with strategic battle planning, the game features a novel and intuitive control mechanism, a graphical style ripped from 80's retro classics, and a story concerning a tribe of video game sprites trapped in a modern 3d game world. It actually looks quite good and enjoyable to play.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena has returned to Rome, hours after American troops in Iraq fired on the car she was in, wounding her and killing an Italian intelligence officer escorting the former hostage. quote:U.S. troops "attempted to warn the driver to stop by hand and arm signals, flashing white lights, and firing warning shots in front of the car," the statement said. "When the driver didn't stop, the soldiers shot into the engine block, which stopped the vehicle, killing one and wounding two others." ----------------------------------------------- The road where the incident took place, near Baghdad's airport, was particularly dangerous, Robertson added. I don't blame the troops for their response. Not one bit. quote:"But CNN's Alessio Vinci reported that Saturday's Il Manifesto newspaper had accused U.S. forces of "assassinating" Calipari." The newspaper mentioned above is a leftist paper and Giuliana Sgrena is a leftist reporter for that paper. Sure in the dead of night at some bagdad checkpoint the troops chose then and there to assasinate this Nicola Calipari.

BERLIN, Germany (AP) -- A German court has rejected an appeal by the country's biggest retail chain over disputed property claimed by the heirs of a Jewish family that lost its department store fortune under the Nazis. Very interesting case. Could be argued that so many variables could be involved in terms of their store (if the Nazi's didn't do their dirty deed) such as bankruptcy or they just wanted to sell the business etc.... Instead of the property award, I think I would have awarded the family what the net worth of their store in todays dollar value would have been. Just a bunch of thoughts.

CNN: Bush pardons bootlegger and seven others quote:WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush pardoned eight people, including a man convicted of bootlegging 45 years ago, the Justice Department announced Friday. The first round of clemency orders in Bush's second term brings his total since taking office to 39 pardons and sentence commutations. Bush's father, President George H.W. Bush, issued 77 pardons during his single term from 1989 to 1993, according to statistics collected by the University of Pittsburgh law school. President Clinton, by contrast, granted clemency to 456 people during his eight years in office, including 176 on his last day at the White House. One of those was the contentious pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich, former husband of Democratic Party donor Denise Rich. Most presidents since the beginning of the 20th century have granted hundreds if not thousands of pardons and sentence commutations, led by Franklin D. Roosevelt's 3,687 over four terms. Only two presidents never used their constitutional authority to grant clemency: 19th century chief executives James Garfield and William H. Harrison. Both died before serving a year in office. Those granted pardons were: >Alan Dale Austin, Mabank, Texas, misapplication of mortgage funds, sentenced October 1987 to two years in prison and $22,000 in restitution. >Charles Russell Cooper, Corpus Christi, Texas, bootlegging, sentenced May 1959 in South Carolina to three years probation. >Joseph Daniel Gavin, East Elmhurst, New York,court-martialed by the Army in 1984 for failure to obey an order and other charges and given a bad conduct discharge. >Raul Marin, El Paso, Texas, failure to appear, sentenced January 1982 to six months in prison, five years probation. >Ernest Rudnet, Tamarac, Florida, conspiracy to file false tax returns, sentenced March 1992 to one year probation. >Gary L. Saltzburg, Clovis, New Mexico, theft of government property, sentenced January 1995 to 18 months probation, community service. >David Lloyd St. Croix, Kenmare, North Dakota, disposing of stolen explosives, sentenced June 1989 to two years probation and a $500 fine. >Joseph William Warner, McLaughlin, South Dakota, arson on an Indian reservation, sentenced November 1995 to eight months in prison, a $5,000 fine, and restitution of $5,560.

quote:Originally posted by Jaguar: I have been on DSL for the last 2 years, since I moved to Gig Harbor. Cable was just too expensive, and I didn't want cable TV. Comcast now allows you to have the Internet without the basic cable, and it was cheaper then DSL. I went for it. I tested the DSL, and it tested at 68.6, and I tested the cable 1768, that's Kbs..... I am just blown away, like Night and day, I feel like my DSL was dialup.... Took them that long to do that? Time Warner Cable pretty much had that since they started Road-Runner. My DSL clocks in at 1.5mps (1500kbs). I did that upgrade (at no xtra cost which I mentioned before) and same here in respects to the speed increase reaction a big diff from what my 768kbs was.
