Was hacked last week. 35 gamer pts added. 10,000 microsoft points stolen/charged. Kudos to Microsoft though. They had me squared away and creditted the next evening. The two main issue I have is that 1) If this has still been going on, (which it has) they need to seal the leak. Apparently, the ability to port your downloads to other systems is a perfect scenario for hackers/theft. And 2) Now I have a canceled credit card and now must figure out what bills I have been autopaying things with.

They were the best back up pair one could ever hope for. Of course I would not be caught dead with them on out in the fleet. Funny thing though, they came back into style with Mad Men. Guess we Marines were ahead of the curve on this one.

I, too, am a Corps vet. Back from the Gulf 1. Was what they did against the CMJ? Yes. Should they be punished for their actions? Yes, per the law. But, in my personal opinion, my devil dogs did only two things wrong. 1) They wasted good urine on scum and 2) they were stupid in having it recorded. Stupidity is the MOS for cannon fodder. They were just plain dumb. I would 98% have done the same thing without thinking twice about it.

THAT was a great movie. Played like a video game (which was the point) and succeeded so well that my wife was hoping that they had made one based on the movie so she could play it. I can't rate it bad a movie that has hot chicks kicking a$$ and actually wanting my wife to play the 360.

Desert Shield/Storm vet. The reason for the MIA/POW is for our brother's in arms to never forget comrades that are missing/captured. A reminder that if you are ever a POW or MIA, that you will never be forgotten. As for the KIA braclets...I can understand parents and relatives wearing them, but I'm not so sure with the Marines wearing them. My way of remembering those that gave their life for their country would be to carry out the mission to the fullest of my ability. But I guess I am an old salt and not intune with the younger generation. 'Fraid I have to agree with the Corps on this one.

To me, the worst violator is AMC. They can take a movie that lasts 1hr and 25 minutes and make it 2 1/2 hours long. I kid you not. The Family channel is not far behind either. When they do their HP marathons, I can watch TWO HP movies on Blu-Ray before they even finish with one. Sucks to no end.

(I am one of many that still call "A New Hope" Star Wars). I got burned by HP's ultimate releases recently. Bought 1-4. Found out after the fact 3 and 4 did not have ANY extended scenes. Reason given was that the directors were too busy to cut it. Somehow, though, the Family Channel airs 3 & 4 with extended scenes. Needless to say, 5-7 are a no go, as is this remake garbage. A silent Vader in Jedi was powerful. Still think it stunk putting that whiney Annikan at the end of Jedi. The ONLY good adjustment he made in the original trilogy was changing that damn Ewok song at the end of Jedi. I guess a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while. Han shot first. Deal with it.

The rock score was the only reason I had even considered to watch it in the first place. I even bought the ALBUM. So, a blu-ray version I would enjoy.

"Marine! The Life of Chesty Puller" by Burke Davis. From my understanding, this was written from tales and stories from Puller himself. Now, there are more 'accurate' biographies out there which I have read, but this one by far was the most entertaining. Semper Fi. Good night, Chesty. Wherever you are.

(I can't believe she got kicked off last night since she is such a better singer than him). Apparently there was a resonable doubt with the jurors. If the jury wanted just to end it and go home, they would have said guilty in only 30 minutes of deliberation. But they did their duty. Jurors do not get all of the talking points and other information that the media pumps out. I have served on two juries. It was always like doing a puzzle without the edge pieces.

But this is the best system in the world. It would seem from all of the hype from the media that we should not put cases like this in the hands of 12 of our peers, but rather an American Idol like phone in and vote guilty or not guilty. The prosecution failed. It happens. Best to have 1,000 guilty go free than one innocent jailed.

(PI grad, class of '87). The whole point of 2 weeks of rifle training was to teach us how to shoot, not play a video game. This is like teaching people how to drive a automatic and not a standard. If you can drive a standard, you can drive anything. If you learn to shoot with iron sights, you can use just about any weapon left on the battlefield and be proficient with it. Where is a General Gray when you need him? Semper Fi.

But then again, I love my summer Sunday's drinking beer and watching cars drive over 160mph while making consistant left turns. Now Ratatooie (sp?) I didn't like. But to each is own.

It needs to be as was designed, but with a couple of modifications. Each congressional district gets one vote for the president (like it should be), but not this 'winner take all' popular state vote garbage. Talk about voter disenfranchisement (is that a word?). Half of a state could have their vote null and void (50.1 to 49.9). Also, senators need to be appointed by the govenor, not elected. We need a senate that represents the states like it was originally drawn up as. Also, term limits. 2 terms as a senator, 5 terms as a rep.

The analysis of it being "long and devastatingly dull" sounds of someone who did not like the LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring ending. The book itself was long at the beginning. Ever hear of build up to the climax? I for one will be there at midnight. NOT in 3D for me though. I do not wish for a headache at that hour without it being caused by a good scotch.

Even have it on Blu-ray. Have the 3rd one too. (The second one really bad). I agree with nolotrippen. A good ol' fashion rainy Saturday action flick.
