It never ceases to amaze me that in this day and age of digital living where computers are as pervasive as Air, the FBI and similar agencies still feel it is neccessary to inform the technological public that "Source Code" is a "Blueprint" for software. I mean really. Basically the only people who would really be interested in this story enough to be following it would be people of a technical nature who would know what source code is. Does the "Fumbling Bumbling Idiots" (as the first poster put it) really think that people are so far out of touch that they have to 'edumacate' us as to what source code is? If they were really trying to do a service then they should refer to source code as the 'Building Blocks' of software. The blueprint of software is Pseudo code. Dorks!
It shall henceforth be called 'CommandOS' and every military in the world will have to pay royalties on the use of the term because we all know the the USPTO will have to trouble rubber stamping 'APPROVED' on the trademark for Micro$haft. If the world militaries refuse to pay then M$ will unleash it's army of Giant BILLZILLA's and take over the world.

Thank god for cooler heads.
Our Canadian Prime Minister, Jean Chretien had this to say about proof Sept 21, 2002.
"A proof is a proof. What kind of proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it is proven"
Guess it can't get much more clear that that. Huh?
