The solders in these photos should all be executed, under military law, for the future deaths of US solders they have caused.

Do they think these prisoners are just going to fucking forget what these US solders did? Do they think the Iraqi people are just going to forget, when your Average Amed in the street sees this?

These photos are exactly why the coffers of Hamas and other terrorist organizations overflows with money.

These photos are exactly why an entire town will cheer as dead US contractors are dragging through the streets and mutilated.

These photos are exactly what drives a average man to stop trying to live under a new, strange and uncertain system, and to don a jacket of C4 and Rat Poison and blow up a public place.

The Iraqi people will not forget this. We will lose many many good, honest, solders for what these fucktards did today.

RE: The Abu Ghraib Prison Photos

The schedule is posted for Interz0ne III. There are some awesome talks planned and some cool people too. (I am looking forward to hearing Wendy Seltzer).

I love cons because being a poor college student, I rarely travel. They are a chance to see a lot of my friends in the scene, and meet new people too.

Here's hoping I don't get sued!

Interz0ne III This Weekend!

In Rumsfeld's article in the NYTs this last week, he talked about a picture of North and South Korea at night, where NK was near-totally dark. Take a look at progress Comrades!

The Iraq on the Record Report, prepared at the request of Rep. Henry A. Waxman, is a comprehensive examination of the statements made by the five Administration officials most responsible for providing public information and shaping public opinion on Iraq: President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice.

Christ this pisses me off. Nearly all non-hackers I talk with this about, even people with lots of tech background see no problem with this complete lost of control. I too can understand the potential. Imagine spending an extra $2 on top of a movie ticket and watching a movie opening night in your living room. The technology is cool, the MPAA is not. They will abuse this to no end, and will only allow copying when they can't profit from the content.

Example: If a Simpons DVD set slated to ship in the fall, do you really think any Simpsons episodes Fox broadcasts for 6 months before that release will be copyable? Hell no. Now some jackass in Fox Marketing controls my ability to record. Remeber DivX, the original Divx? You think thats going away? Tivo + time limit control flags = Divx for TV shows. It will totally happen. Self-destruction shows, forced down-sampling, and other policies are totally in our future.

Worse of all I feel will be a "can't change the channel" flag. Did that Turner Exec say changing channels was stealing a while back? Wake up people and show that you will not take irresponible and indiscriminet use of these flags.

Is your life different since gay people started getting married in California? Have you felt now as if your commitment to your spouse, your vows to love each other til death parts have somehow been cheapened? That your marriage is no longer holy or special to you?

If the answer is yes, chances are you have some deeper issues to worry about then some loving couples in California getting married. If the answer is no, then hopefully you see why this entire gay marriage thing should be a complete non-issue.

I really grow sick of this issue as a whole. I argee with Nanochick, the very fact that gay marriage is being made an issue when there are so many other issues is simply retarded.

As I said, I read this site with a grain of salt. A yes it is horrible thing that happened. Do I believe the conspriancy nonsense? No, of course not, its utterly retarded. Do I think a ray gun took down the towers? no. Do I find the information about steel and fire temperatures interesting, certainly.

It is a well written and documented website. I like the layout, it has alot of information (or disinformation if you like), a lot of sources (who may or may not be morons), and everything is nicely cross-referenced. They present there case fairly well, and I can admire that.

My meme was not an endosement of the facts or what you view as a misrepresentation of information on the site. Compared to other conspircy/ufo/craziness sites out there (ie http://www.crystalinks.com/ ) this was of nice quality, and I enjoyed reading it.
