    Well actually, anybody who has a pulse...

  4. Send rocks to mars on NASA Plans On Bringing Back Martian Rocks · · Score: 1, Troll

    A rock will make the same size of crater as an expensive spacecraft. They should see some huge cost savings with this mission plan. Just use the metric rocks.

    So the solution is to encrypt it with ROT13 and impose a penalty of life in prison for attempting to crack it.

    Now that the evils of spiced ham are under control. Action can be taken against corned beef. Millions of kernels die every year in the making of this vile product

    Thank You

    I have been needing a new sig.

    MS Marketing is in top form today.

    Microsoft has thought of that. They haven't gone so far as to display actual advertising content but every 13 minutes I get their blue test pattern.

    I can use vim 6.0 to create a website that disparages vim 6.0 and vim.org without having to worry about violating the license.

  13. hmmm on Hackers are 'Terrorists' Under Ashcroft's New Act · · Score: 2, Funny

    Microsoft regularly gives advice to hackers with this thing called the Knowlege Base.

    They even have a program (IIS) that aids hackers in break in attempts.

    Their new advertisement advocates the destruction of buildings.

    This is clearly one of the worst terror organizations

    The US and it's allies must take action

    In the old days we made sound by banging stones together.

  16. Re:Backdoors. on Net Taps Without Warrants? · · Score: 2

    They can only enforce this for encryption software in the US.

    Terrorists will be able to leaglly use encryption Outside the U.S. to do their planning.

    There are other ways to send secret messages. I could post three goatsex trolls plus a Martian to signify message #14. A terrorist previously in a closed room could have memorized item 14 to be Redmond at dawn.

    Oh My God!

    I thought I was part of a userbase. I thought that using these systems made me part of a userbase.

    In the US you would be arrested and thrown in jail for violation of the DMCA

    Outside the US you would probably have no problem other than a mild guilty feeling.

    Personally I would never buy a timed ebook in the first place. So I wouldn't have to worry about this. I would much rather pay more money to have a permanent copy that I can keep a backup copy of and also view on any viewer device that I own.

  25. hmmm on World's Worst Dog'n'Pony Shows · · Score: 1

    If the US DOD can pay Sony to put the same GPS devices in their PS2's then the US will be safe from the next generation of Iraqi missiles.
