Network Associates Buys "Better Carnivore"
ShaunC writes "CNet is reporting that Network Associates has just purchased a software company called Traxess, whose main product - DragNet - supposedly makes Carnivore look like a toy. DragNet is capable of monitoring everything from email to web, FTP sessions to IMs, even print jobs and VOIP conversations; sorting the protocols and logging it all to disk at gigabit speeds. One NAI exec envisions "the government using it to investigate employees and hackers." NAI has also issued a press release about DragNet."
Sarcasm my ass, that fool was trolling with a damn fishing pole.
Finally, math books without any of that base 6 crap in them.
This story is pretty old now, but it's still pretty damn funny.
A guy ran a red light like at 2AM, got home fine, no police saw him or anything like that. About 3 weeks later he gets a bill from the police department and a photo of his truck running that light. So, like the smart/dumbass he is, he gets cute, lays out some money on the bed(the price of the ticket), takes a photo of it, and sends it in. So a few weeks pass and he gets another letter, this one has a photo of handcuffs.
He promptly paid the bill.

Lesson learned: Satirical criticism of somebody's post (who wasn't modded as off-topic) is off-topic.
I wouldn't be bothered by it if the guy ahead of me was modded down. I wish there was some flexibility with what 'off-topic' really means. I think there are people taking it too literally. Coincidentally, freedom to speak your mind without fear of consequences is what this article is about.
Slave! Make me a daiquiri. And put a little umbrella in it!
