Hello! Welcome to WalMart!

I don't know, but is there anything in the project that stipulates they have to get them there alive? This could be a adjunct the the old movie "The Loved One" for all we know. Mars is prime real estate for burial plots.

If I may be so bold to paraphrase Bruce Schneier, nothing says "Investigate Me" like using TOR.

Versus Three Thousand Years Ago.

We all know would have happened to false prophets!

"Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! ..."

"It's the simple things in life you treasure."

I guest that explains the spam I get for fully refurbished copper from the D.R.C. ?

As long as the Eloi keep flocking to the siren, the Morlocks are willing to provide!

Maybe it was benevolent hacking, as opposed to malicious?

(Murphy's corrollary: "Friendly fire, isn't".)

Don't be afraid folks, the order of events is supposed to be war, THEN, famine and pestilence after that.

Wait a minute, we've been at war for 13 years ...

Adds a whole new meaning to Blue Screen of Death, eh?

(Or was it a palm device like a Newton?)

We all know it returned with The Blob! (Or will it be the Andromeda Strain?)

Why stop at criminal "background" ? They can use criminal "foreground"! They can recruit people CURRENTLY in prison. Additionally it solves any AWOL problem, as they can have 100% supervision, all the time (24/7)! They can also dispense with the expense of firearms training and having to pick up all that brass!

And what's with all this talk of putting people in positions of power? A cyber-private first-class is no position of power.

If you look for the golfball particles, perhaps you can find the Dorf galaxies?

Has anyone contacted Norman Vincent Peale about this?

(I had to say it, there was no obligatory reference to him this entire thread.)

The first image that comes to mind is Chris Dowd in "The IT Crowd" as "Roy" who's first response to any Help Desk call was "Did you tried turning it off and on?". As the show progressed, he automated his phone to answer with a reel to reel tape recording asking the same!
