Slashdot Mirror

There is no problem with auto pilot. In fact there has never been a single problem with any Tesla car ever.

I think Putin is capable of being photographed climbing onto a T-72 flying the Russian flag, surrounded by Russian soldiers while standing in front of the sign that says "Welcome to Donetsk, Ukraine! Population 944,000" while explaining to a NY Times correspondent that no Russian troops are in Ukraine.

And do it all with a straight face.

You ever noticed you never see Vladimir Putin and the Iraqi Minister of Information together at the same time? Hmmm....

All those words and you didn't answer a simple technical question. We can agree that it's illegal for the NSA to read the communications of an American citizen, even an American citizen abroad. When the NSA is filtering internet traffic, how does it know which packets to discard without reading them first?

Claiming that you can listen to foreigners without also listening to Americans is so technically implausible it's ludicrous on its face.

Where did I make that claim?

When you claimed that 1) it was illegal for the NSA to listen to the communications of American citizens. and 2) that the NSA obeyed the law. From that, we can deduce that the NSA does not listen to the communications of American citizens. But we know that the NSA does listen to the communications of foreigners.

Therefore simple logic tells us that the NSA has a magical device that can distinguish the nationality of the sender of packets without reading them. That, or we are being lied to. Which is it?

We know far more, in far more detail, and far more quickly, about the activities of government than at any other time in our nation's history, and in the history of humanity, and that trend is not reversing. Since I know you're a thoughtful and intelligent person, I am literally stunned and flabbergasted that you cannot see this.

Yeah, this guy would tend to agree with you.

It certainly sounds like you!

I think I'm hearing familiar intonations there.

That you Baghdad Bob? We love you!

Looks like they took their PR training from the best.

Wonder who they hired. The former head of TASS or him.

It's amazing how little we require of foreign powers these days, in order to believe that they're making some sort of tremendous admission. I blame the Iraqi Information Minister for causing us to set the bar so low.

It puts a propaganda tool in the hands of our enemies.

Thank you, Minister of Information. Do you honestly expect us to believe that our enemies did not already know that Americans fly helicopters and shoot shit up?

i am just amazed that people can say that what is going on in the streets of iran day after day by millions of people is all some plot of mi6 or mossad or the cia

i mean you have to either laugh or cry that you live in a world where the people spewing this ignorant propaganda are this delusional and that those believing it are that moronic

it reminds me of this guy:

http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/mss_history.html

someone should start a fark or 4chan meme mocking the delusion of some iranian mullah declaring how millions marching in the street day after day is the work of mossad

And by unapproved, I mean deals not approved by Hollywood and Redmond.

Seriously, are we looking for justice from the RIAADOJ? We may as well look for truth from Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf.

Kaz Hirai is a lunatic and he's going to run the PS3 into the ground.

While I agree with you, what are we going to do for entertainment when that happens!?

I'd like to recommend Sony hire this guy to head the PS4 department: http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/

Looks like the general attorney learned a thing or two from him.

Hey, who said you couldn't learn new tricks from a loser?

http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/

ouch.

Further, anyone who's done a bit of looking knows that the WMDs that remained were moved to Syria right before the war - there was even a book written by an Iraqi general who knew it was happening.

This General? http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/

His name is Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf, and we love him.

The Iraqi Information Minister

Be sure to check out the Treasury of deathless quotes. It's like a Microsoft Vista press release except because it's happening to somone else it's funny instead of sad.

"Who the hell thinks this comment is funny?>

Well, a lot of people. I do. Apparently you're the odd man out on this particular joke.

"A war with Iran is likely to cost tens of thousands of US ervice lives and a hundred thousand or more Iranian lives within a few weeks"

Yeah, well, that's a pisser. Although it's unlikely to cost 10's of thousands of US Service men's lives. That said, a war with Iran would be pointless. Iran will fold up on it's own. All the smart Persians left 20 years ago. What's left are the handful of crazy people who believe the Mullahs or the poor wretches who are forced to live there.

"Cutting the cables is very likely intended to be a prelude to war"

Wow. You're right. And guess what... your mother isn't really your mother. She's a CIA operative who will kill you at the first sign of invasion.

"Iran is not going to be the pushover that Iraq was"

Of course not. The country is physically bigger.

"they have proved that their missiles are capable of sinking an Israeli naval ship with advanced electronic countermeasures"

Yes. I'm sure the Israelis would love an excuse to turn Iran into glass with it's nukes. 1967 showed the the middle east was no match for Israel. And I don't even particularly like Israel. But I wouldn't want to be Iran if both Israel and the US were attacking it. For the US it would be stupid war that would bankrupt the country. For Israel, it would be personal. Think of when Russia invaded Germany.

"They are more than likely capable of sinking the supercarriers"

Whoa whoa dude. I love your website.... http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/mss_history.html

"They are certainly capable of sinking any tanker that is stupid enough to lumber through the straits"

The tankers are the lifeblood of Iran. That would be the equivalent of putting a gun to their own head and pulling the trigger. I hope you're not in charge of their strategy.

"The US is unable to occupy Iraq"

On the contrary. Iraq has been occupied for 6 years. It has been messy and expensive, and ultimately stupid. But it was done. Persia is different because if they get rid of the half-wits, a lot of ex-patriot Persians will come back to run the place like a normal country.

"What we are looking at here is quite likely the end of US superpower status."

Again, I love your website http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/mss_history.html

"IIS 6 hasn't had a public remotely exploitable bug in it. Ever."

LMAO.

Did Microsoft hire Baghdad Bob as their PR guy?

I don't know about all of that, but he sure sounds like this guy:
"There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!"

The Microsoft corporation has been kind enough to employ Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf as their spokesman after his gig in Iraq fell through.

...this sad facade of optimistic propaganda, despite obvious failure.... ah, I remember! You gotta love him

So you've added Slashdot comments to your vast repitoire? Sony and SCO could probably really use you as a PR rep now.

Come on everyone! Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf (the former iraqi information minister) tells all!

hey, they could hire the ex-Minister of Information from Saddam's Iraq, Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf.

he's an expert at the kind of "correction" they want....and they know he's capable of insisting that they're winning even in the face of undeniable facts to the contrary.

But whoever are they going to get to be the Information Minister?

Hey, if counterfactual computing works in the quantum world, why not use it in SWG?

from this guy.

Yes, poor al-jazeera, who brought us the real story of the opening of the war in Iraq from Iraq Bob http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/. It is a good thing too that buildings in a war zone are never accidently destoyed. So it must be a big conspiricy.

Also thank you for telling us about the Iraq puppet government. Because the 70 million Iraqis who voted yesterday are all under mind control of the US government, because the UN sanctions against them kept them from buying tin foil hats to protect them from the evil George Bush mind control rays. I wish I could tell you more about the election that happened yesterday but for some reason free new media www.cnn.com www.abcnews.go.com www.msnbc.com www.foxnews.com www.bbc.co.uk feels that a year old story negative story about the president that is a promotion for a book, www.drudgereport.com is more important than coverage of the Iraq elections. Thank God for the free press. I am so glad we can rely on them to put for news that matters.

Have a nice Day :)

Seems like he's still around.

SCO announced that it has appointed a new CEO, Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf, to carry on with the lawsuits against IBM. You may remember Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf from his former position as the Iraqi Information Minister.

http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/

Er.

When did Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf suddenly join the Mozilla team?

He's alive!

I wonder if Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf was a quantum physisist.

This message was sponsored by the Iraq Information Minister.

...one of our old friends?

Pre-emptive mod: -1 Redundant (no i didnt bother reading any previous posts)

Hey.... when was this guy hired my Microsoft?

I vaguely recall another PR battle that was waged much the same way... "We have destroyed 2 tanks, fighter planes, 2 helicopters and their shovels - We have driven them back." - Iraqi Information Minister

Glad to see you're still in the mix, Muhammed.
However, your post hints at a dimming of the rhetorical flame, which I find sad.
Viagra?

Apparently this MS director has a fan club aquired thanks to his popularity from his previous job.

See here

Those were some insightful comments from Mr. Torvalds. Interesting that they are such simple words, the things they express so obvious and down to earth, but since they come from a public figure, they have a lot of authority.

Of course, there are other public figures whose statements make a lot less sense; being deceptive rather than insigtful.

SCO has apparently already recruited their expert, apparently it's this guy. SCO Expert

The SCO spokespeople are starting to sound like Baghdad Bob.

Rediculous.

Hmm. I hadn't heard anything about SCO hiring Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf as its PR guy.
