  I need some help...

  ... because I don't see the book promo viddy as parody, or a fourth or fifth estate. So, isn't any of the material included at the end of the 'book promo' infringing on copyrights of at least eight different films, or television productions. Because I have watched the material at the end when it was news reporting, or movies.

  So, I guess I'm asking, "*Can this hate be DMCA'd itself?

  And don't say it's protected speech. Hate propaganda is not a safe haven to promote racism, or religious intolerance.

  Re: Well played

  That was the point... Bud has a billion dollar arsenal and this isn't just a shot in the arm of Modist, as they aren't going to be driven into extinction; sales will likely increase; Bud looks good, Modist is grateful, and prolly more thankful than the owners relay in their comments. It made me smile. I had to comment.

  Re: Turned off...

  I shut IME off (disabled), and logged into my money and a couple other sites. The login was prompted each time - each site - because they "noticed" a change in my logins... Not one thing was changed. No passes, emails, or computers and browsers, but they noticed something different. Makes me want to know what. I always have my UNCServer processes stopped - have to do it manually everyday, but it has never caused my logins any interuption. Was this little IME bastard being used by my finacial institutions? 'cuz that's a little disturbing - finacial institutions using something for what, and to what end? Justified? I'd like anyone here to break some eggs and make comment to this possibility. Then again, I might be a conspiracy lover... nah. It's just messed up to think on.

  Turned off...

  "{T}he first caveman who saw fire, burnt his thumb"

  Then that same caveman realized 'fire' is gonna make him the most powerful freaking guy on Earth. And, he was for a time. Realized the profit of using a necessity to life as a commodity, Put 'em in his Kingdom, with a class all his own, ruling over the species, and here we are. Gettin all manipulated and shit...

  As for the I(r) Management Engine in Device Manager, I went and found it and disabled it. I will watch, and run my different apps and see just what might turn it back on.

  Thanks for the post.

  Access

  Is it possible that the FBI exploited this old vulnerability (the 'backdoor') in accessing that 'child porn' ring with their "NIT"?

  How about phones? Do these chips run in our cells?

  I'm just trying to get a bead on this "old" news. Old? First time I'm hearing it.

  You raise a valid point TRX. A Dogcatcher should have been on call when that Cop wasted the little Rat Terrier.

  No 'Mulligans' for Racists

  OR, or, is there?

  Who released these images exactly? I'm not into polemics or salacious conspiracy crap, but, if it was an individual savvy enough to picture the carreers of these relatively young FiFis, then perhaps they could've envisaged a 'pay-day' by getting the pictures posted before someone higher on the food chain could correct course before it might have become an issue. Some half-wit failed lawyer bro or sister...

  There is something more than just simply "broken" people in this story. It's that whole 'safety-in-numbers' bullshit motto.

• On the post: As HBO Screams About GoT Episodes Leaking From A Hack, HBO Leaks Next GoT Episode Early

  

  Monday ( profile ), 18 Aug, 2017 @ 11:43am

  Leaks, Leaks, Leaks.

  When I first read HBO "Leaks..." I could only think 'White House'. Bannon just got the boot from the WH, maybe HBO can pull in a General Kelly of their own, and only until 18 days of lies, insults, Constitutional crises, and all of the WH' own enabling,realize the problem is really them.
  
  And, of course, they'll definitely rake in cabbage like asteriod "Florence" is really going to hit our planet this time.
  
  It's bullshit, and they are trying to garner sympathy for something that is / was entirely their fault.
  
  Well, I for one, hear their cries, and I reply, "MERP".

  Re: Re: Excuses are like assholes...

  Ms. Wendy Cockcroft, It is a simile. Simple enough. I could also use the "Patent Applied For" on Banana boxes. But that would be slightly weaker with its intended comparison, as not alot of citizens have looked at a Banana box lately. The boxes are out there, Patent status is non sequitur...

  Excuses are like assholes...

  citing its pending patent

  Sounds very much like, "[] can't release my Taxes because I am under audit" bullshit act that D.J. Trump espouses everytime he is asked for a date on when his taxes will be released. AND, don't give me some more bullshit lame-ass defence that "He doesn't have to release his taxes if he doesn't want to."

  Do you hear that??? That's HMS TRUMP getting its ass sunk by a Russian Iceberg...

  Deliberately Ignoring Facts

  []"... no policing of the police during the Trump Years"

  I'm sure Months was actually the intended tense. Regardless, anyone who has an inkling of Sessions previous Political history, well knows this man was going to be one of the larger fails in this "so-called President's" Administration.

  The USD is the real Victim here...

  "Hooo boy. Where to start?"

  You've got a good start. No Child Left Behind about sums it up...

  This is a tragic start to a career that hasn't started. Where does Dehen (Die Hen) get her figures from? I suspect it is the same Self-Entitled, Inflated sense of worth, and Ego - on all levels - that routinely pisses me off every time I leave my House, and has led her into this morass wherein she is about to ghost any future, and future earnings. I would also like to add that this sounds like something @realDonaldTrump would have posted to his own Twitter at three o'clock in the morning... while taking a dump...

  Dehen is a Moron plain and simple. If anyone (remember Corporations are People too - also Trump's words), the U of San Diego is the victim here. They have obviously convocated a student whom hasn't a basic grasp of the English language.

  Application of "what you wrote up there"

  So, does this apply to most things, If, one used the event, any event, precisely as explained above?

  ie. Grey Cup/World Cup/a World Famous Marathon/Davis Cup/Wimbledon/PGA???

  And, if so, why don't more businesses and companies use this knowledge to their advantage? It seems like they're sitting in El Dorado and they don't even realize it.

  Just sayin'
