The Interview is officially available on Google Plus now.

Because instead of a few thousand theaters it'd be better if it were available on every computer in the world.

Watched the movie last night. It wasn't that bad and while the CIA might have wanted them to assassinate Kim, they don't do it. That is all that I'll say on the movie for risk of spoilers. So just because "the feds" might have wanted him assassinated (in the movie) doesn't mean that is what happens.

So then who shoots the missile into the helicopter?

So how does he catch fire and burn when the helicopter explodes?

You answered your own question. The helicopter explodes. You know, the helicopter that he is hanging out of the door of. As for how the helicopter explodes, it is hit by a projectile (that isn't a missile) in an act of self defense due to said helicopter firing on people.

Assassination:
1: to injure or destroy unexpectedly and treacherously
2: to murder (a usually prominent person) by sudden or secret attack often for political reasons

Neither of these reasons are why Kim was killed.

EDIT: As for how it explodes, that could be from a myriad of reasons. First off we're dealing with Hollywood, who loves to have things randomly explodes (especially vehicles). It could have been some type of exploding round (just because it explodes doesn't mean it is a missile). Other ordinance from the helicopter could have been ignited (cuz, Hollywood). Etc etc.

YOU are the one to equate this cyber attack on a private company with government vulnerability
GET IT NOW?

Based on the time lapsed since you made your assertion, do you get it now?

The entire country is vulnerable to cyber attack.

Just one example:

Two weeks ago, Admiral Mike Rogers, head of U.S. Cyber Command and the director of the National Security Agency, told a congressional panel that China and “one or two” other countries would be capable of mounting a cyberattack that could shut down the power grid or other critical infrastructure. In addition, over the last two years, there have been a number of public reports that China-based hackers broke into industrial control systems (ICS). UglyGorilla, one of the five People’s Liberation Army hackers indicted by the Department of Justice, reportedly hacked into the computers of a public utility in the northeastern United States, perhaps to map the system in preparation for a future attack.

Do not attack, especially personal attacks. Respond with facts and in keeping with OCDO rules and intent.

The current dialog is not consistant with the OP and is definitely not fodder for "Open Carry issues that are hot at the moment" - might be better as a thread in the Social Lounge.

Sorry, I thought I was asking nicely for the individual not to attack my post.

That was my intent.

I can see where you could think that - it wasn't my intention though.

If I had left your link in place then it would have been more clear that I was actually agreeing, just using more specific verbiage.
