I wouldn't dare say that any country has entirely trustworthy news media. We have seen many recent examples of how untrustworthy the US media has been. I think that the fact that we do not have any one reliable news source makes Slashdot so much more important. By carrying out worldwide discussions we are able to attempt to find the real truth in what we are told.
I'm wondering if North Korea really said anything about nuclear bombs. I think the US might have created this story, so that if in the future, a nuclear bomb is dropped, they can blame North Korea, instead of facing the implications of their own actions. I find it harder and harder to trust what the american media says.
Sounds familiar.
A few of us in one of my high school classes made a program in VB that looked like the Novell Login screen. We added it to the autoexec and had it save the results in a text file. When someone would try to login, the first attempt of the day, would always say that the password was incorrect. The program would then close, and the regular login screen would be there. Since it would work the next time, people would assume they had typed incorrectly, and go about their business. One of my friends had the program stored in his account, and when his computer was messing up on him in class one day, the teacher/ITguy noticed it and clicked on it. He said "oh, that is weird" as it was obvious that it wasn't the normal login screen when run on top of a regular Win95 desktop. He then entered in his actual login information and continued on. We never caused any big touble with the info, but did use it to install Duke Nukem 3D on a network drive via a spanned zip file over 13 floppies. Our teacher for our computer class was obease, and we use to sit in the back row all class playing Duke3D on the network, he was never fast enough to see what was going on on our screens before we would switch back to our work..... Fun stuff!
