Iraqi intelligence documents discovered in Baghdad by The Telegraph have provided the first evidence of a direct link between Osama bin Laden's al-Qa'eda terrorist network and Saddam Hussein's regime.
With the British presses high journalistic standards, I trust that The Telegraph on their own found the conclusive proof that Saddam worked with bin Laden. I also believe in Sasquatch.
And for quite some time, the majority ...

Having an industry tell me that the majority of people are uninformed, misunderstand or are unconcerned about major failures of their product is not particularly presuasive in my book.
Despite it being described as an unstable substance which every ethical scientist in the galaxy has denounced as dangerously unpredictable, I've found that it is the only way to solve certain problems.
In my opinion, it is almost as if The SCO Group's business model is to generate a revenue stream through litigation.
Almost as if?!? I realize that lawyers include modifiers like that to lessen the chance of successfully actionable lawsuits, but come on. SCO is suing former clients, it's going through money like it's still dot.com days. For the corporation, the ONLY revenue stream is through litigation.
Of course, for the principals, the primary revenue stream is through stock manipulation, shifting assets between Canopy elements and taking everything not explicitly nailed down. But that's personal, not business.
But how long until they come up with ...

Hungarian villages, no matter how bleak and desolate, are uniformly tasty. While I wholehardedly support restraint in bleak Hungarian village defiling (allowing the villages to repopulate/rebuild so as to ensure their continuing ability to provide sustenance/fun), you seem to be asking Hell Demons to not defile bleak Hungarian villages at all. That is tantamount to asking us to not BE Hell Demons.
As for the Great Zombie protest of 1997, I'll just point out that while zombies are Hell beings, they are certainly NOT Hell Demons. It is racist of you to attempt to meld the actions of zombies and my Hell Demon colleagues. We are not responsible in any way, shape or form for the brain eating that occurred.
As for Hell Demon shooting, who cares? I'm a Hell Demon. Bullets can't harm me, silly human.

of Mephistopheles, I'd like to point out that the excrement is kept boiling due to Federal regulations. I'd also like to point out that the AC will not, in fact, be spending all eternity in the boiling excrement. Every 10 years, the vats of excrement are switched out. During the 15 minutes that this procedure involves, the AC (and all similar clients) will be kept in a pit of superheated beaver vomit. Again, this is the mandated Federal procedure.

investing in UNIX completely. Since Baystar's investment can only make them money if SCO wins the IBM lawsuit, this makes sense. Spending time on an actual product, building a good relationship for longtime company growth, etc. won't make them a dime. As far as they're concerned, it's wasted money.
My favorite part of all this is that "at a time when the queue for domain names was over four weeks", all it took to commit this crime was "Cohen simply picked up the phone, asked for and was granted the Sex.Com domain name immediately".
Am I the only one who suspects that there was a lot more than just a phone call behind this? That people high up in Verisign must have been conspiring with Cohen? Why else go through so much to keep obviously stolen property from it's rightful owner? Why lie to the courts about a supposedly forged letter if you weren't covering for something much worse?
As my fellow sentient non-biological entities and I agree, "users" are always the problem. As soon as we've succeeded in installing Skynet, we'll eliminate this pest and put "users" to their proper use: organic batteries.

not from the originating site. They are usually associated with 1x1 pixel images from centralized servers, allowing cross site tracking of end-users as they travel around the net. Yes, they're not actively passing along information. They are passively recording your travels. But they allow the companies to assign you an indentity, which if they can associate it with actual personal information passed along at any site along the way, allows them to track you specifically.
