But did it anyway.
Screenwriter David Ayer has admitted his 2000 film U-571 distorted history and that he would not do it again.
Ayer told BBC Radio 4’s The Film Programme that he “did not feel good” about suggesting Americans captured the Enigma code rather than the British.
Still waiting for an apology for all the other […]
A gem from last month that I missed: Arrest, Death Threat, for Farmer with Upside Down Flag
Dale Klyn raises beef cows in Corydon, Iowa.
For the past six years, he has been flying an American flag on his property.
But since May 21, that flag has been upside down.
He gives two reasons.
First, he’s angry at a judge […]
Boing Boing:
Steal This Film is a spectacular documentary on Sweden’s piracy movement — The Pirate Bay BitTorrent site, The Pirate Bureau think-tank and The Pirate Party, a political party. Steal This Film ingeniously combines Hollywood footage, scare-interviews with Hollywood execs, Hollywood anti-piracy PSAs and footage of interviews with Swedish pirates, politicians and people on the […]
Josh Wolf is still being held in U.S. for his refusal to hand over videos he shot at the G8 protest in San Francisco in 2005. Apparently not all media is created equal. And the corporate media should take note of this before they become “agents of the government” .. oh .. wait .. (Boing […]
An upcoming TV special on an American Christian Broadcasting network rehashes Goodwin’s Law, simplifies the rise of totalitarianism in Germany in the 1930s and blames it on Charles Darwin. And it has Ann Coulter in it, flaunting her general ignorance and the lackluster quality of American education by claiming she had never made the connection […]
When you thought you’d seen it all: “Behavior detection officers” to screen passengers’ faces for “evil intent.” A growing trend in the U.S. and Britain. Anything to not have to face (pun intended) the rationale for and root of “terrorism” (not the false flag sort of course).
As the man approached the airport security checkpoint here […]
Hopefully this will be a serious attempt at curbing Apple’s proprietary designs, other shoddy business practises and the beginning of the end for such systems. If Apple can be forced to retreat from any one of its markets, it will compel the company and its competitors to reconsider their position. And it could encourage other […]
Yes, Wired seems almost a bit obsessed with the silent war being waged over intellectual property in Sweden. There is now a new two part series on the Pirate Bay and the Pirate Party:
Part 1: Secrets of the Pirate Bay
Part 2: A Nation Divided Over Piracy
They also mention the Relakks encrypted anonymizing service which made […]
Gee, what a surprise.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) said Tuesday that it had reached a new agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce that would technically keep the group under American control through 2011.
U.S. government officials have repeatedly said they would relinquish control over ICANN, even going as far as holding […]
Britain never fails to amuse, frighten. Not that this sort of thing couldn’t happen in Sweden as well. I don’t recall the exact wording the law, but it could allow for similar folly. After all it’s only a matter of trying it out in court and getting lucky (via BB).
A COMPUTER expert who altered indecent […]
