  1. New York Times guilty? on NYTimes, DeCSSm EFF, DVD, And Other Acronyms · · Score: 1
    Did anyone else notice that the NYT article is linking to 2600's links to DeCSS? Does that make them guilty as well?

    And of course, what about Slashdot, linking to the NYC article that links to the 2600 page with links to DeCSS?

    And what about .....

  2. A.C.R.O.N.Y.M.S on U.S. Army To Develop "JEDI" Soldiers · · Score: 1

    Do you remember the good old days when something had a long name so you made an acronym so it was easier to say/remember and if it happened to be cool all the better? Strange how things change, huh? Jason J.ust A.nother S.illy and O.bvious N.uance

  3. Trust no one. on Area 51 Satellite Images · · Score: 4
    Mulder: Does it strike you as odd, Scully, that no one is able to access the actual pictures of Area 51 now that they've been released on the Internet?

    Scully: Not really Mulder. This sort of thing has been known to happen before.

    Mulder: Exactly. You remember the Ken Starr report when it was released to the Internet? No one could get at it. I believe this was a test-run, an experiment if you will, incase anything did get released on the internet that would jepordize the conspircy!

    Scully: Oh really Mulder. It's a known fact that sites brought to sudden popularity by mainstream media are suddenly besieged by hits from people that are...

    Mulder: It's called "The Slashdot Effect"..

    Scully: Yeah.. Whatever.. But, you can't seriously belive this is some sort of coverup?

    Mulder: Does it not seem odd that not moments after going online noone can access the site? Doesn't it also seem strange that terraserver.com and terraserver.microsoft.com are so closely related? A company sponsored by the richest company in the world doesn't have the means to keep it's servers online? There are countries that can have networks that can transmit at 20 terrabits per second, and companies have tested fiber optics that can relay trillions of bits of data over 100s of kilometers in a second and with all of this technology no one can get to one simple web page?! Why do you think that is?!

    Scully: Because millons of teenagers spend all day online downloading porn, MP3s and pirated software.. ?

    Mulder: No.. It's much more than anyone has ever suspected. A massive consipracy involving the American goverment and major companies around the world have devised a system of manipulating datastreams to completly jam information on the internet that may uncover the truth!

    Scully: And who's behind it? Huh? Bill Gates?

    Mulder: Of course! That's it! Why else would the a man with billions of dollars still not be able to get a decent haircut? Wait here Scully! I've got to go!

    Scully: Mulder! Mulder, wait! Where are you going Mulder.....???
