What is shocking is that most people when confronted with this kind of information usually blow it off as an isolated incident.

Wake up people. You should question everything the mainstream media tells you.

RE: History, recovered

A case of the law of large numbers coming into play? Hardly. In a neighborhood of 200 homes, only one on average has a TiVo. More U.S. homes have outhouses, 671,000, than TiVos, 514,000." Microsoft seems to think TiVo's business model is broken, after it tried to adopt the same model for itself. But oddly they continue with their Xbox.

"The fact that we're having this discussion at all is a symptom of the polarizing effect that Bush and his top dogs have had on the United States since assuming office and even more so in the hard-right free-for-all that followed the Sept. 11 attacks."

Ted Rall IS the mainstream voice of American communism, and as with all political extremes, unsubstantiated paranoid conspiracy theories are par for the course on ANY day, regardless of any "polarizing effect" offered by the current environment. The radical left is almost indistinguishable from the radical right, especially in this regard.

Having said that, I *LOVE* paranoid conspiracy theories, and this is a particularily GOOD one. A political link to the Ron Brown plane crash! A missing black box! This is the stuff that the Art Bell show is made of! So, I heartily recommend this one. Imagine if its true! What can we expect come 2004? Oh, the drama!

The first clue came during Christmas, when low-grade uranium-238 was discovered in tunnels near a former al Qaeda base in Kandahar, Afghanistan. ... That the retreating fighters from al Qaeda and Afghanistan's Taliban regime chose to leave this behind when they took to the mountains fueled suspicion that their nuclear crown jewels went with them. ... One former Soviet GRU (military intelligence) agent says he knows for certain that al Qaeda possesses small atomic warheads. ... "Mossad [Israeli intelligence] reported that bin Laden bought tactical nuclear weapons from some former Soviet republics," he said. "They are not the suitcase-type bombs that people often refer to, but more the warhead-type munitions. These are the payloads of short-range missiles, torpedoes, and the like." He declined to elaborate.

At least if they nuke New York I'll be able to see the mushroom cloud from where I live if its a clear day. TV just ain't the same, I'm sure..

Intelligence says Al Qaeda nukes are reality

"It appears that many corporate network users are taking advantage of fast Internet connections at work by publicly uploading and downloading infringing files on P2P (peer to peer) services, and also distributing and storing such files on corporate intranets," the groups wrote. "The use of your digital network to pirate music, movies, and other copyrighted works both interferes with the business purposes your network was built to serve and subjects your employees and your company to significant legal liability."

Andre added, "Asking me to make it so you or anyone else can bypass copy-content-protection is out of the question. If you do not ask the device to do bad things, then it will not do bad things back at you." He went on to add, "I agree this is silly but the DMCA/RIAA/MPAA and company are out to hurt people and their rights. [...] These people are sneaky and in the dark." The problematic drive in question was manufactured by Sony, a company notorious for its "aggressive anti-piracy stance". Andre went so far as to suggest, "Make a note, DON'T BUY SONY CDRW Products."
