The Nines Trailer

Fletch says...

Ok, I had this idea for a movie script that this dude, see, kept seeing the same number over and over, ya know, like it drove him crazy and stuff and he didn't know what it meant. I was gonna call it "23", and for obvious reasons I can't call it that now can I, thank you very much. So I changed it to "Nine", even thought a backwards "e" would look cool on a marquee and everything, but now I can't use that one either, can I, thank you very much. I bet you'd all like to know what I'm calling it now, huh, but no way Jose, because I think someone must be intercepting my interweb postings on the internets and selling my cool number script ideas to clueless directors like the one who totally fucked up "23". I may have to incorporate the greek alphabet...

LAPD attacks Crowd at a Immigration Demonstration

detlev409 says...

I went looking for a counterpoint to the view from the protester's side (I feel like you should see both sides before you decide who was in the right) and found this, via Michelle Malkin:

http://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/?p=3666

The above link contains some more videos. I suggest skipping the comments, as they're pretty Neanderthal-ish, with at least a couple of people actually cheering the violence. There are also links to a couple of half-hour-long police radio intercepts from during the protest.

The Immigration Watch cites reports in the intercepts stating that people were throwing rocks and bottles, but the first instance is from people in an apartment (not part of the protest at large, if you ask me) and the second time it seems to be dealt with pretty quickly, with the person responsible apprehended. I actually made it through both MP3s and I still can't tell you what started the final confronation.

American Football's Hardest Tackles EVER

Deano says...

None of this is snuff.

My football knowledge is rusty now but there are a couple of hits that stick in my incomplete memory which should have been in this collection.

A playoff game in the 90s with Buffalo/Miami. Steve Tasker nailed the Miami safety from the side on a special teams play. The guy not only got up but then made a big play, I think an interception.

A regular season game, San Franciso against somebody. Wide receiver John Taylor scored but was walloped in the chest with a helmet. It was one of those hits that took him off his feet and looked really bad and borderline illegal but I don't think they called it.

9/11: The Conspiracy Files

Farhad2000 says...

Theo, in the World Trade Center bombing (February 26, 1993) a car bomb was detonated by Arab Islamist terrorists in the underground parking garage below Tower One of the World Trade Center in New York City. The 1,500-lb (680Kg) urea nitrate-fuel oil device killed six and injured 1,042 people. It was intended to devastate the foundation of the North Tower, causing it to collapse onto its twin.

I don't remember going to War to Afghanistan (which prolly should have happened at least to capture Bin Laden), or war on terror or even to Iraq based off this attack.

Before 9/11 there was long term knowledge of attack, that amounts to criminal negligence, given the previous attacks in 1993, the Oklahoma City bombing and other terrorist acts the fact that this information was not acted on is shocking to say the least. The events of 9/11 created the perfect opportunity for the US to secure long-term oil and gas supplies from Central Asia and the Middle East. If you think that's conspiracy I think you should read US Military force deployments from http://www.globalsecurity.com.

Read about the 17 FOBs in Iraq, the fact that the Pentagon is building a permanent military communications system in Iraq, in a you know sovereign nation that is 'not' going though civil war. What about the largest buttoned down military facility for an US embassy, the size of the Vatican?
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article712424.ece

But you know back in 2002, the American people got fooled into going to War in Iraq. Which had nothing to do with 9/11, yet was easily sold to the American public due to the fear created post 9/11. Questioning the war back them was unpatriotic, yet look at events now. Is the US goverment directly implicated? Probably NOT. Did they use the situation post 9/11 to implement their own imperialistic polices. DEFINITELY.

Am sorry I studied too much history to suddenly think that the most highly trained and specialized intelligence community in the world would fail due to sheer negligence and confusion as stated by the documentary, to defend it's country against threats foreign and domestic.

There is nothing George Bush or any person can tell me, to make me believe that Al Qadea is somehow better trained then the KGB. That's just stupidity.

"Jordanian intelligence (the GID) makes a communications intercept deemed so important that King Abdullah's men relay it to Washington. The message states that a major attack, code named “The Big Wedding,” is planned inside the US and that aircraft will be used. [International Herald Tribune, 5/21/02; Christian Science Monitor, 5/23/02]"

Bruce Lee Interview, his opinion of kung-fu

Farhad2000 says...

But his fighting wasn't just speed without the essence of power, it was intercepting the other foes attack and striking critical points. Wasn't it?

Just the very idea of Jeet Kun Do would really require a high mastery of all tenants of martial arts.

The Real Hustle - Keylogging

BoneyD says...

Exactly gfxmonk, a very critical point for this scam. Did they just break into the office? Intercept the computer at her house? Break into her car? Each would raise the possibility of any other number of precautions defeating their intrusion attempt. Winkler's example seems much more plausible, which serves as a much more realistic lesson to prepare for exploitation. Similar to how we used to click over the read-only switch on a 3.5" floppy before use on strange PCs.

Both of the episode clips i've seen so far for this series have employed nothing more than scare-mongering tactics, obviously for ratings. The chance if this happening to you - in the method they've described - would be so unlikely, you might as-well stop travelling by air for fear of crashing into a mountain.

MTHEL - Mobile Tactical High Energy Laser (8:38)

Farhad2000 says...

Yeah but the CIWS eats ammo like it's no tommorrow. It's hardly suitable for a mobile combat role.

Plus the THEL has a lower kill to cost ratio, and unlike the CIWS it can intercept motar shells.

Arrrr! Us scallywags need arrr seewhiz on arrr frigate!

MTHEL - Mobile Tactical High Energy Laser (8:38)

Farhad2000 says...

"In 2000 and 2001 THEL shot down 28 Katyusha artillery rockets and 5 artillery shells. On November 4, 2002, THEL shot down an incoming artillery shell. A mobile version has completed successful testing. During a test conducted on Aug. 24, 2004 the system successfully shot down multiple mortar rounds. The test represented actual mortar threat scenarios. Targets were intercepted by the THEL testbed and destroyed; both single mortar rounds and salvo were tested.

Even though military experts such as the former head of the Administration for the Development of Weapons and the Technological Industry, Aluf Yitzhak Ben Yisrael, were calling for the implementation of the THEL, the project was discontinued.

In theory certain countermeasures could reduce the effectiveness of THEL. These could include heat hardening and reflective coating of the projectiles, which would increase the necessary laser exposure time. However THEL has primarily been developed to intercept relatively primitive threats such as homemade Qassam rockets and World War II-era Katyusha rockets, which thus far have not incorporated sophisticated countermeasures."

Army shuns this system to combat RPGs and save lives...

therealblankman says...

From Wikipedia: "TROPHY (in Hebrew: "מעיל רוח", lit. "Wind Coat") is a protective shield system for both light and heavy armored vehicles that intercepts and destroys missiles and rockets with a shotgun-like blast just before they hit. TROPHY was developed by RAFAEL together with Israel Aircraft Industries' Elta Group. The system is known as an "active protection system" (APS). The developers claim it is a major milestone in weapons design. They would have a system like TROPHY reduce or eliminate the need for heavy armor for combat vehicles".

There, that wasn't so hard, eh?

Minor detained for publicy displaying a %$*& Bush sign

Wepwawet says...

joedirt: I either expressed myself poorly, or I'm not understanding what you said, because we're really not that far apart. You generally have a right to tape police officers in public places, but AFAIK, in Florida you don't have a *RIGHT* to make audio recordings ("intercept oral communications") of police officers taking statements or having private conversations if they refuse consent. Further, information in police reports is not necessarily public, and there are laws regarding its disclosure. In other words: Arguably you have a right to tape from 20 feet away, arguably you DON'T have a *RIGHT* to tape from 1 foot away. If you have caselaw that indicates otherwise, I'll be happy to take a look.

Both the links you gave deal with entirely different situations, and the authorites in those situations behaved reprehensibly.

As far as "fuck" being a constitutionally protected word, Florida has a wonderfully overbroad nuisance statute, and some interesting statutes regarding what constitutes lawful assembly and lawful political protest. When dovetailed together with the even stricter local laws (Pinellas County?), it gets to be a pretty confusing mess. No doubt a lot of the laws would be deemed unconstitutional, but cops have to enforce the law they're given at the time and not interpret it. If the state or local legislature passes a law saying you can't hold a sign saying "Fuck" in public, it's not fair to say the cops are abusing their power when they enforce it.

9/11 Pentagon Crash. Dear tin-foil hat crowd, please shut up

barasawa says...

A few comments of my own on this discussion.
The light poles are less of an impediment than a telephone pole. They are mounted on snap bolts so they break off easy. This is to protect drunk drivers, or something like that. I've seen a small pickup knock one 8 feet with a collision that was only about 30mph. As to the perpendicular position of a pole, go play pool. There are far more variables in this equation than 3. It's position is nothing special, or breaking of physics, you just haven't factored in enough of the MANY variables involved. It's easier to predict which side of a die will come up than the landing position of lightpole struck by a plane.

Lack of armed response. Wow, this isn't world war 3 with intercept planes in the air ready to respond. It takes time. And that's after you realize it might be a good idea to do so. Hijackers tend to fly off with planes, not use them as cruise missiles. Everybody thought they are going to land somewhere. Even after one crashed, it was most likely assumed to be incompetence of the highjackers, and not intentional. And why intercept a hijacked plane? You aren't going to shoot it down, and radar keeps track of it very nicely. Just send police to where it lands. There is another factor that people forget about. Shock. The first one hit, and everybody where I worked was shocked. It was a tragedy that struck at all of us. But that's all we though it was. Then the second one hit. People were dumbfounded. And I worked with intelligent problem solving people. Over half the people just stood there staring at the video feeds. Everybody was numb. There was an air of disbelief. It was as if there was a vague hope that suddenly the picture would shift to a reporter in a clown suit saying "Gotcha! April Fools!". But that didn't happen, and people eventually started leaving like shellshocked sheep. The next day, only about a third of us showed up for our shifts. Nobody said a thing.

Now as to the skipping of the whitehouse and nailing the pentagon. I don't know, but here is a possible guess. Ever try picking out landmarks at a couple of hundred miles an hour? It's a major pain. When the image has resolved enough to identify most things, it's too late to do anything about it. That's why military bases have old busted planes as decoys on the runway. To someone travelling a couple hundred mph, they look like valid targets. Now just imagine the scum who missed the whitehouse, he's probably ticked, and may even assume he can't get a second chance at that one. Then he sees a unique piece of architecture that can be easily identified from a very long distance, the pentagon. (There aren't many huge pentagon shaped buildings on this planet, it's easy to spot.) He probably decided target of opertunity. After all, the white house just has a four year bozo, the pentagon has lots of military top brass. If it was a wargame, I know which one would be worth more points, and it's not a politicians penthouse.

Ok, now as to the tower supports failing. Let's look at the explanation. Under fire conditions, those supports would not be compromised. But it is believed that when the plane struck and ripped through the building, it shredded the insulation on some of the supports. That sounds very likely to me, I've seen things get hit with less force than that, and have the same effect. Look at some trees hit by cars, notice the missing bark? Ok, now jet fuel burns hot, for that matter, so do most apartments. Bet that sucker hit flashover point and all that stuff. It didn't have to melt the supports, it just had to weaken them. A fire that doesn't even make the metal glow can cause that to happen. Just take out a couple of supports and stress the building, and that will start a cascade failure. Like knocking over dominoes. A few fail, increases stress on remaining, they fail, that makes it worse, the rest go. It can happen very fast. Once a critical threshold is exceeded, the rest often go in seconds. If you watch the video of the collapse, that's basically what happened.

Eye witnesses. Slightly better than asking a psychic, but less entertaining. It's amazing how unreliable they are. That's one of the big reasons why we use forensics. I trust the cameras a whole lot more, and with very good reason.

The government is hiding something? Well, they are always hiding something. Sometimes it's intentional, other times it's somebody that just doesn't know. And don't forget standard lack of communication and incompetence. Often government stuff assumes the less they say, the less likely they can be blamed. With regards to all the fingerpointing afterwards, well as they say, hindsight is 20/20, so stop looking out your a## at past events. You can always say someone must have realized it, but didn't. Gee, george has a report 1 on his desk, frank has report 3 in his filing cabinet, jane has read the summaries of reports 3 and 5. While Mary has report 2 sitting in her inbox, and report 5 is being faxed to george right now. Ok, now who knows what the heck is going on? Nobody. Two weeks later, who's fault is it that 5 sequential reports were filed and not acted upon, even though they spell out several low importance events that only add up to trouble when all five are together and in sequence? You don't like it, well, neither does the intelligence community, but it's what they have to work with. Those I've met from that area, have mostly been accusatory paranoid creeps. (Some were actually human.) Even so, it's not reasonable to have expected them to predict something like what happened. However, the acts of the politicians afterwards is utterly reprehensible and has definitely earned them an entire wing in the hall of shame.

One thing back to the one highjackers flying. Some have said it was absolutely fantastic flying. Well, that also assumes that what happened is exactly what he wanted to happen, and that he was a pilot who had some expectation of living through it, as well as keeping his plane intact. Those two conditions don't apply to the highjacker, and we really don't know what he expected to happen. To bring up pool again, I suck at it. I've made some shots that have had master players congratulate me. Too bad those shots were nothing like what I expected the balls to do. The praise wasn't deserved, it was an unintentional event. That is probably a case with the highjackers flying 'proficiency'.

I expect this has put a few wrinkles in some tin-foil hats, and has a few people thinking. Just remember, nobody alive is in full possession of the facts of those events, so much of what has been said is just guesswork, possibly even educated guesswork, but still guesswork.
