FUD revisited.

All right. I'll buy a survey of viruses vs. Linus (oops I meant Linux) from MSNBC. No. I am still not
that intoxicated. You really think any of those children have a chance of 0wning a machine 0wned by the average slashdotter. Not really. Anyone that good
is going to be working for one of us... Even when our
guard slips we notice these things. Cough. (at least I hope I do). Squints at what my good friend Ethereal
has just spat at me... (ok, guy's you know this stuff
don't you).

So why do hackers allow sites like Al Jazeera and the like, that show beheadings of innocents, to remain active?

Or for that matter, why does the CIA, can't they hire hackers?
