Not only are they "not rivals", but anybody who supports what Wikileaks does should be relieved that a new group is springing up. Assange can be locked up, Wikileaks can be taken down; we need two, three, many Wikileaks's.
Why in the world is he not leaking any real secrets of how governments are run, their atrocities and human rights violations in China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela or the operational details along with hideout locations of drug lords of Mexico, Columbia, and alike ?
You're right! Because right now, everybody loves those guys.
The media characterization of those countries may be one-sided, but not in a positive way.
My thoughts exactly.
This seriously deserves some modpoints. While I'd prefer truly native GNU/Linux ports, I'd be a happy ducky if we could see "Made for Windows XP/Vista/7/Wine" on game boxes in the future.
They already release OpenGL versions for the Mac so technologically, they are a short hop from a linux client rather than a giant leap.
That brings up an interesting point. If a developer knows they're going to make a Mac port, why in the world do they still write their game in Direct3D first?
Next you're going to tell me that people were podcasting before the iPod.
The same goes for pretty much every picture of Nixon that I have ever seen.
They all had Trotsky in them?
Name two.
I just assumed that BRSloth was saying that the beast is the girl. "You like that, don't you, bitch? Good girl!"
I've never really agreed with his premise that movies are always "unfinished projects" you can go back and revise at will, though. IMO, you're supposed to give your best effort and consider it a one-shot opportunity. When the final product comes out in the theater, it's "finished", for better or for worse.
There really is no "should" in art. Some artist will always eventually ignore those "should"s and later be labeled a genius for it.
I don't think that person will be George Lucas, though.
Even Memento has a version where it tells the story chronological order.
Actually, that's pretty great. I always thought it would be interesting to see it that way.
I don't know why I bought three copies.
Amnesia?
I didn't say moral responsibility doesn't exist. I merely said that if you want to *understand history*, you have to put aside that question.
"Pseudo capitalism", as used here, is apparently a concept based on the fanciful notion that China is somehow still socialist/communist. It assumes that "big government" is somehow opposed to "free market", and therefor assumes that the combination of the two is some kind of voodoo monstrosity or something.
Artcite's post is basically sound, but it suffers from that ideological prejudice.
"When the U.S. embargoed oil to Japan in July, 1941 it was almost a certainty that war would soon follow."
Only because of Japanese expansionist imperial policy and the invasion of Manchuria made it clear what Japanese goals were in the pacific. And their attack on Pearl Harbor later that year didnt help.
Yes, it certainty-ed war because of Japanese expansionist policy. That doesn't make it any less factual, however. One lesson nobody seems to be taught, for some reason, is that history can only be understood when you stop asking the question "who's morally responsible?".
They had someone whose entire job was to write the A.I.. Apparently it's pretty difficult.
The cost of feathers has risen, even down is up!
