Britain's MI6 Opens Its First Website
An anonymous reader wites "Britain's spy agency the Secret Intelligence Service, known popularly as MI6, has opened its first website. While much about the agency is still not public, the website has information on service history and career opportunities for would-be spies. This rare peek at the real group popularized by the James Bond series brought over 3.5 million visits in its first few opening hours on Wednesday."
NOW!
Their first web site that we know about.

Old news... it's a good thing that our submitters aren't in the intel business! Or.... are they?
Who wants to set up the betting pool on this?
I bet the gambling websites would make a killing.
I got $20 that says it gets wacked in under a week.
Of course starting them out with a nice slashdotting probably doesn't help. heh
No unauthorized use. Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.
Better than the FBI's or CIA :(
Best bit of the website has to be the operational careers profiles, http://www.mi6.gov.uk/output/Page74.html
James Bond, 42
"I love women and martinins so the 'SIS' flexible work hours suit me perfectly."
So, is the website run by Q? If so, I must say that I'm a little disappointed that my computer doesn't explode when I click on the page three times.
But they have a pretty good recipe for a Vodka Martini. The Kilgour suit is optional.
What is music when you despise all sound?
Perhaps my [British] english is a little rusty, but doesn't that translate roughly as:

"This job is mostly tedious and boring work in places you never wanted to visit, but if you are lucky, perhaps you will make enough mistakes to get yourself into mortal danger."
Gee, where can I sign up?!!
Microsoft has just released their much anticipated hands-free cordless mouse. Warning, it may hurt a little at first.
Recently Jennifer Garner did a recruiting commercial for the CIA. When I saw it, my first reaction was, "how do I know you're recruiting for the CIA and not for some other organization posing as the CIA?"
You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down the mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, our Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!
...these aren't my real teeth.

So, now its official. James Bond is a SISsy.....
It's not the secret intelligence service, it's the secret intelligence service. They go after people who seem to be stupid, but are in fact hiding the fact that they are geniuses.
The World Wide Web is dying. Soon, we shall have only the Internet.
What? No Daniel Craig pictures?
