Al-Qaeda Web Sites Go Offline
thefickler writes "Four out of the five Al-Qaeda online forums have disappeared. The terrorist group used these forums to relay messages to its supporters. The four that have gone missing seem to have taken a hit back on September 10, the day before the annual video marking the 9/11 attacks was due to be disseminated. No one knows who is responsible for the sites' disappearance."
"A" is often a short prefix for "anti" or "un". So, athiest (A-Theist) means just an anti-theist, or one who is not a theist. It's the same construction as "atypical" for "not typical" or "asymmetric" for "not symmetric".
I suspect it's how Sarah Palin jokes are strung together that is the new medium. they're ubiquitous and cannot be stopped by any force known to mankind.
Vote for somebody else, and she'll fade back into irrelevance.
On the other hand, if you're a political impersonator, an Obama presidency could be bad for business, unless he selects a particularly humorous cabinet.

Yep. Our only hope is the womankind.
Come to think of it, man, that's true in so many ways.
Fuck systemd. Fuck Redhat. Fuck Soylent, too. Wait, scratch the last one.
this thread is now about Al Gore
Remember, "bin Laden wants Obama to win". He wouldn't sanction something that will cause McCain to win.
Huh? Is that some kind of joke whose punchline went over my head?
If you'd said that Sarah Palin, with her rambling incoherence, is the Dan Quayle 2.0, I'd understand you. But Joe Biden? What exactly does he have in common with Quayle?
We're talking about the same Dan Quayle right? The one who is the sole reason that George W. Bush isn't the dumbest politician America has ever seen?
You are suffering from what I like to call the "Fringe Media Censorship Bias," which is where people with marginal or fringe beliefs often attribute their beliefs lack of representation in the "media" to some sort of censorship, rather then a lack of interest from the rest of society. Some, like Noam Chomsky, suffer from this condition to the extent where they write whole books trying to rationalize that it's the "media" ignoring them and not just society in general.
I'm going to get charred for posting this on /., but this is the reason that hardware manufacturers don't supply Linux drivers. They don't hate Linux, there is simply no real interest in it.
(Posting from Ubuntu, MS free for over three years. Yet still a realist.)
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
