Not if they were busy people with critical missions.. like working the counter at a sex shop in the midst of a month long dildo clearance sale, or answering phone calls regarding the inner workings of a gnat's pootube.. Or possibly fighting off ravenous space weasels!
Honestly, it's hard enough to keep the little nibblers away from one's bootflaps, let alone pushing all those pesky phone buttons while watching one handed the porn that was downloaded last month - which created the whole sorry situation in the first place..
Before they are finally disconnected, most average (i.e not/.) surfers will quite possibly use their remaining Internet time trying to figure out why their connection is slowing down, first trying a few simple search queries - which, combined with a short attention span and an uncontrollable desire to click on anything that flashes, will then lead them willingly into a morass of dodgy, bot-laden sites, further infecting themselves, their connection finally grinding to a halt so that they are unable to check that email from their ISP that they neglected to look at a month ago..
..And examine the Mainstream Media's blackout on this subject. BBC had the information for an entire month, and sat on the story. A strange situation unfolded, with that bastion of spin, FOX News, breaking the story with more gusto than a bull in a china shop - whilst every other channel either completely ignored it or attempted to skew the reporting to focus just on the theft of data. Only now are some stations grudgingly giving this story the airtime it merits. Here in New Zealand, not a single TV station or newspaper has reported it at all beyond a brief mention in some dirty back pages.. Even the local New Zealand climate scandal (NIWA artificially adjusting temp graphs) is being suppressed. Instead, the lead stories are absolutely jam-packed with images of melting glaciers and prophecies of imminent doom. Considering that the Tiger Woods Indexfinds "climategate" to be one of the most searched terms at the moment, it appears obvious to me that the mainstream media have a vested interest in keeping this information out of the public mind, at least until after Copenhagen. If this scandal had involved ANY other scientific arena of importance, this would have been headline news. I find such collusion between media conglomerates in keeping this story hushed far more disturbing than the story itself.
Thus we must suffer this abysmally flimsy cover story about "breaking crusts" and "slippery sands", whilst the military take control of the rover to examine the evidence. I am almost positive they have already prepared missiles and instructed the scientists to push the secret button on the LHC.
Which, unless I am very much mistaken, is bound to activate some sort of Omega 13 device.
..He will be found to have had nothing to do with any kind of terrorism, and be released.
Of course, the mainstream media only ever report the arrests - never will you see a subsequent report that the individual was eventually found innocent.
I believe the goal here is keeping alive in the public mind the illusion of an effective domestic "war on terror", so that our most basic freedoms may be further eroded by the enactment of ever more insidious security legislation.
As of RIGHT NOW, the same Bing search now pulls up only the pages you would expect. NO Mac-related documents in the first page. Why this sudden change? Could it be all the unwanted attention has made Bing "decide" to play fair?
I'm sure the FBI and other Govt. departments would LOVE to know which individuals have been reading "subversive" or "terrorist-leaning" material. I believe Hitler had a similar scheme going in Germany's public libraries, which maintained lists of people who had checked out books which were "counterproductive to the advancement of the homeland". I suspect more than a few of those revolutionary readers made it to the concentration camps.
That's nothing.. I heard that Bill Gates regularly attempts to smell out a faulty OS! Obviously he sneezed while sniff-testing Vista, covering it with snot and bugs..

Well, I'm not much of a neuro-anything, however it seems quite simple to me:
1. Get hold of some babies. As fresh as possible.
2. Scoop out baby brain (you might need a few tries at this, hence the spare babies).
3. freeze, slice into superthin babybrain wafers, scan and layer in your chosen superubermegaputer (SUMP).
5. sell remaining baby parts to help pay the 1st installment on your SUMP.
6. Anyone with a SUMP interested? I have an ice-cream scoop...
I guess it's going to be slightly more difficult to sneakily download MP3's once your details, signature, thumb print and threat assessment are linked to your ISP/IP address, then sold to the RIAA and the BPI...

Whew! Thanks! I deleted all my password.txt files before some nasty hacker got to me.
Now I gotta tell my friends about this! Hold on while I log..
Oh crap.

Ken Welch is dancing a jig in reverse.
Hail Mary's... Deamons... Rick Astley.. The final battle is closer than we ever imagined.
Don't be ridiculous. Of course it's on Mars.
Obviously it just found evidence of alien life.

I'm pretty sure construction workers had something to do with the DES code breaker. Some of them display an awful amount of "Deep Crack".

Fortunately for Visa none of the affected customers will be suing, as they all died of heart attacks upon opening their credit card statements.
