    Would that be one of new-fangled, entangling Magical Mystery Turing Trips, Dangermouse ...with Tickets to AIRide on the Helter Skelter?

    Now I'm truly worried

    Not about the botnets, I'm a signed up member to a dozen botnet clubs. I get a free attack of my choice every month now, becoming a member of a botnet is so common these days you get air miles for joining.

    No, what I'm worried about is the FBI and their blatant ignorance. Of course all Facebook and Myspace users need watching. Bloody kids and their hoodies and their leet-speek and their cell phones. Terrorists the lot of them, lock 'em up and throw away the key.

    the best news headline come-on i've seen...

    ...Is, 'bush and putin agree to restart cold war at g8 conference".

    Hillarious on so many levels... I wonder if they got it from The Onion. If not, Onion ought to use it...
