    HAMBURG, Germany (CNN) -- German intelligence services has intercepted a phone call in which two hacker terrorists discussed the deadly assault they intended to unleash upon a popular website, Slashdot, a German intelligence official said.

    One of the individuals in the phone call made a reference to having "sent 30," but it was unclear whether that was a reference to the number of people involved in the terrorist plot.

    "What they were planning or whether others were still planning further attacks, or whether attacks could not be carried out remains open," the official said.

    The official said the phone call did not originate in Germany or any other European nation, but refused to identify the country or region. The official did not say what language was spoken in the phone conversation.

    The source said that German intelligence officials immediately alerted their U.S. counterparts and are working closely with Slashdot authorities on the matter.

    More than 330,000 people around the world die every day. That's more than 10,000 in America who die... every day- no terrorists required! The attacks on New York were insignificant.

    There are far worse than 'terrorist' attacks. Like american attacks, for instance, which have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people over the last few decades.

    Get over it, people die for foolish causes. America's ignorant gluttening consumerism finally pissed off some pshycos across the world, and you feel it when your phallic buildings collapse, bringing your brainwashed delusions down with them.

    And how about American sanctions starving further hundreds of thousands, regularily- with none of your sympathy. But boohoohoo all night and day, it's a 'tragedy' when a few of your own fall to their firey death, while you panic and let the terrorists succeed in terrorizing you.

    Remember, who trained Bin Laden? Who armed the middle east? Who gave them guns, educated their leaders and then killed their children, utterly and cowardly destroyed their civilian establishments, cheaply masacred their entire armies, and then starved their people to death? America did, you just won't see it on your precious television.

    America fucks with so much shit it should never have had it's cock in. It's about time you have to feel it back home.

    The events of 9-11 were violent and terrible, but insignificant in contrast to the suffering and torment the US has inflicted on others. You can't press buttons to drop bombs on distant cities forever, not expecting some to hit back home... to think that would blatantly incriminate your ignorance.

    Now, open your eyes to the whole truth, or it could happen again. No multi-trillion dollar missile defence system would have or could ever have stopped this.

    Your security is and illusion.

    Oh man, it is rare for me to enjoy a hollywood flick. They usually have some bullshit device, ability or random buzzwords to help patch up an awful script. Which is especially annoying when you recognise the buzzwords or see that parts of the movie are extremely over explained with that shit for the stupid audience.

    I know they're often meant to be amazing to watch but fuck. Swordfish, Broken Arrow, Face Off, Anaconda, MI2, etc etc etc.

    I enjoyed Alien, The Matrix, The Sixth Sense, Shrek and a few others I can't remember right now, but most of what I see I think I could get more entertainment out of masturbating with a handfull of rusty razor blades.

    I like sci-fi, but I don't when I am treated like an idiot with over simplified bullshit. If they have to describe something non-existant, at least make up a new word for it! Instead of "ip-chains multiplexor" for a time machine, or some shit like that.

    Anyone know of any web sites that quote the bullshit from movies?

    You can't be serious.. this was very significant . This hit home for many americans such as myself, no longer is this just our "horrible" government that was being targeted but the public as well. Implying that the general way of "american" life is so wrong. How could the general public deserve to "feel it back home"... when all we see ourselves guilty of is participating in the capitalist economy ( being it was the World trade center and all ). So we buy and try to control the economy of areas where major exports are... such as how we pimp the middle east for oil, asia for cheap manufacturing.. etc.. if this was such a problem why is there such a market for it ( why would ppl work in our sweatshops say, or continue to sell us product) ..? It sounds like if there is a problem with americans.. er* capitalists being in a certain region or sticking our nose in places where it shouldn't be.. maybe the problem was coming from with in.. and someone sooner or later is going to exploit that region and control it's resources ...
