    Is it just me or does DSC1000 look like the model # for a Kodak Camera? That's how they'll fool all of us into running the program. We think it's a twain compliant camera driver. We'll be giving up our secrets in no time.

    There will probobly be a Press Conference outlining their new stratagy:

    1. FBI downloads entire internet.
    2. FBI runs custom filter.
    3. FBI sends a copy of whats left to the Islamic world ($10 says it fits on a Zip100).
    4. Islamic world finds new reason to denounce 'the Evil Western Pigs'.

    So this _really_ is for your protection.

  3. EtherPeek????? by Observer · · Score: 2
    This bit of the article caught my eye:
    " ... as well as a device called EtherPeek, which manages network traffic. ...."
    Huh?

    EtherPeek is a well-known LAN traffic monitor from WildPackets. Interesting to see it mentioned in this context: I can certainly see how writing a custom module or two for it might save The Protectors Of Our Freedom a bit of work. Or is this just a case of a confusingly-chosen name?

    nstance:
    "For those of you whose Christian toes I may have stepped on, let me take the opportunity to disabuse you of some lovely myths. For instance, the historic Jesus was not nearly the sainted figure has been made out to be. In addition to being a lover of young boys and men, he was given to uncontrollable bursts of temper and hatred that belied the general message of love, understanding and other typical Marcab PR. You have only to look at the history his teachings inspired to see where it all inevitably leads. It is historic fact and yet man still clings to the ideal, so deep and insidious is the biologic implanting.
    It is a good joke that the Galactic Confederacy is associated with the Serpent in the Garden, the beast and other emissaries of the "Prince of Darkness". Yet in certain passages and esoteric interpretations of the Bible (much of which has been taken out and effectively suppressed for centuries) as well as the Cabbalah, the truth reveals itself quite nicely for the clever and the ungullible.

    Good. FBI's power can be reduced a bit more so as to not spread more "war on terror" garbage!

    Woo-hoo!!!
