North Korea Introduces 'Secure' E-mail
An anonymous reader sent in a strange little story running over at ZD that discusses North Korea's new secure email system. There's a lot of strange bits in there about trained North Korean hackers, and the fact that North Korea's news agency is hosted in Japan.
She slipped off the flimsy garment and strode toward the fascinated boggie unashamed of her nakedness. She ran a perfect hand along his hairy toes, and he helplessly watched them curl with the fierce insistent wanting of her.
"Let me make thee more comfortable," she whispered hoarsely, fiddling with the clasps of his jerkin, loosening his sword belt with a laugh. "Touch me, oh touch me," she crooned.
Frito's hand, as though of its own will, reached out and traced the delicate swelling of her elf-breast, while the other slowly crept around her tiny, flawless waist, crushing her to his barrel chest.
"Toes, I love hairy toes," she moaned, forcing him down on the silvered carpet. Her tiny pink toes caressed the luxuriant fur of his instep while Frito's nose sought out the warmth of her precious elf-navel.
"But I'm so small and hairy, and...and you're so beautiful," Frito whimpered, slipping clumsily out of his crossed garters.
The elf-maiden said nothing, but only sighed deep in her throat and held him more firmly to her faunlike body. "There is one thing you must do for me first," she whispered into one tufted ear.
"Anything," sobbed Frito, growing frantic with his need. "Anything!"
She closed her eyes and then opened them to the ceiling. "The Ring," she said. "I must have your Ring."
Frito's whole body tensed. "Oh no," he cried, "not that! Anything but...that."
"I must have it," she said both tenderly and fiercely. "I must have the Ring!"
Frito's eyes blurred with tears and confusion. "I can't," he said. "I musn't!"
But he knew resolve was no longer strong in him. Slowly, the elf-maiden's hand inched toward the chain in his vest pocket, closer and closer it came to the Ring Frito had guarded so faithfully...
Lesssee, Gandalf returns to save the day, Gollum steals the ring and falls into Mt Doom, and the Elvises leave Middle Earth. I think that about covers all bases.

2003: CmdrTaco turns /. into the city of trolls by allowing a post with "the rise of an American dictator in 2000"
/. is now \. - clearly leaning far to the left
2004:
2006: \. is now known as the People's Republic of Trolls
2007: CmdrTaco chosen to lead the new nation of the People's Republic of Trolls
(stolen from a coward's post)
Your demo service up2date has been "disabled due to high load" for the last week and there's a Linux kernel vulnerability in the wild. In other words, I cannot upgrade my kernel and have to run a vulnerable version.
Compile my own kernel from the vanilla tree? Can't do. I would have to know what modules the RedHat init requires and even then it is questionable if it would work. It's the same thing as with rpm packages versus compiling your own software. You can have either one but not both. If you compile your own stuff (like updated Mesalib) RedHat's package management doesn't know about it. If you only use RedHat's packages, you're locked in running old software or - even worse - vulnerable software.
The owls are not what they seem
Any discussion of the education of the people of
the United States (the term "American" would include Canadians) will be skewed from the top
given the literacy and numeracy of none othert than..
George W. Bush - Even Less. George H. W. Bush was Not Much.
Thank you and have a nice day,

He appears to have said: "Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
Or was it about something else?
At any rate, this got him this years Foot in Mouth award.
And yes, it's just so slightly off-topic. But hell, I couln't resist.
BTW, his runner-up was Governator, who thinks that "gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman".
