I agree that it was wrong; however, not having the experience of being in a combat situation I don't feel qualified to second guess their judgment. It is possible they were using SOP for that. I disagree with what they did wholeheartedly and think they should fix things; but I think the cover-up is 100x worse.

In wartime there are bound to be accidents by those on the ground. That is no excuse, however, to cover things like this up. Huge mistakes like this should be used to make sure that they don't happen again. Top brass lying and changing the story around just makes the US look dishonest and 'evil' and prevents any good work that is being done from getting the credit it deserves.

I spoke with a Verizon rep and they verified the block on 3 different devices before giving up and admitting they were blocking it. They tried with the Eris, Droid, and some blackberry device.

I don't access 4chan but I am on the phone with their tech support voicing my displeasure with their filtering of my internet. Verizon offers parental access controls that should be more than enough. Unfortunately, their rank and file support guys knows nothing about this and you end up running in circles getting a straight answer.

Comment Pretty smooth (Score 3, Interesting) 1231

I upgraded my wife's system - which is on a Japanese laptop and everything seems to have gone fairly smoothly. I was concerned when it asked me for the keyboard settings, but it seems to have respected my original settings nonetheless. Boot times seem a bit nicer and she hasn't complained of any stability issues. It's definitely gone a lot smoother than past upgrades which were extremely unstable on her system, X often crashing, windows becoming unresponsive, or the arty completely bombing out for no reason.
