We do consider this to be about the middle event of the High Eating Season, beginning with Thanksgiving (late November) and wrapping with Super Bowl, which used to be in early/mid January but AGW has pushed it into February.

If I read about this case I am really upset about the security level and support which Sony provided. Somehow I must confess, that their lousy security provoced such criminal activities. And it wasnt the first attack - but they havent learned their lessons. So they had to fail again...
But "Freedom of Speech" is a fundamental right and who is attacking is an enemy of us all.
Press F1 for help or google it.

My opinion...
Sony ran the risk of greater embarrassment and it had nothing to do with the potential terrorist acts at theaters, which our country said was not much of a threat in this situation. This is why they scrapped the movie. Many millionaires/execs at Sony, running the risk of financial ruin.

So the best they could do is release it for free on the internet.
They won't make any money anyway, so give it away and more people see it than if the hackers had STFU in the first place - so Sony don't win, but neither do the hackers.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

They probably received an anonymous email warning of a potential "glorious thermonuclear annihilation of the American infidel and his brothers who will be crying in their own blood and weeping at their petty insults of the great and glorious leader".
Personally I'd have just left a negative review on IMDB

As you know/experience it, is Christmas as religious holiday or a good old tradition that you happy be part of?

Christmas is a just good excuse to get together with the family or throw a party, because everyone gets the day off.

Christmas is actually a pagan holiday - a holdover from sun (not Son) worship.
BTW, wasn't "whole lotta duct tape" a song by Led Zeppelin?

Sun worship? Ever since people learned to predict the future ( = make a calendar) by astronomy, the two equinoxes and the longest and shortest days of the year have been holidays in most cultures.
Christmas at least used to be at the shortest day of the year. Not the perfect day for sun worship

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Maybe it was meant as a celebration to the fact, that the shortest day is through and the sun would appear more every day.
|

"Not the perfect day for sun worship"?
They considered it a rebirth of the sun - it was getting stronger every day from that points (okay, they were off by a few days). If you don't believe it, though, you can look it up. It's not just a theory. A Roman leader wanted to unite his citizens, pagans and Christians, and figured this was a way to do it.

It used to be a religious holiday but in recent times it has become a shopping/consumer event.

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

I'm 40 years old, I don't remember a single Christmas that was in any way religious.
We did try to go to midnight mass at Lichfield cathedral about 20 years ago after the pubs had closed but the queen was there and we weren't allowed anywhere near the place.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

The Queen was in a pub? In Lichfield? She must have been shopping for the Queen Mum's Mackesons!

Yes, to the Gods of consumerism.
Seriously ... If you believe in such things good for you.
We, my parents, sister and I (and bf/gf if applicable) , usually do a posh (food, wine, ...) christmas eve dinner, and on Christmas day, we (at least used to ) have an extended family party, of my father's side of the family ) and we celebrate new year day with my mother's side of the family.
I'd rather be phishing!

It's not "Religion" for us.
For me and my house it is about a person, The birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Merry Christmas CP.

Yes.
One need only look at the name to see that Christmas has a significant Christian history - hence why songs such as "Silent Night", "Hark the Herald Angels Sing", "We Three Kings of Orient Are", "Joy to the World", etc, have been Christmas staples for over a century.
And although there used to be pagan celebrations around the same time each year, they haven't been the mainstream reason for December celebration since the Middle Ages, when Christianity swept over Europe.
Mind you, nobody can force you to have a Christian Christmas - hence why the old pagan ceremonies are surging in popularity again
