Firefox loaded it for me.

Was the the only person who started this by guessing YYY.AHB.MSK was www.fbi.gov? Seems like including a fully formatted URL is a bad idea...

0.177806631% of a Fort Knox.

Sorry, you aren't THAT rich.

Am I the only person who was curious exactly how much water vapor he wanted to make...

1/2inch extra water for the surface of the earth comes out to 6,477,833,150,000 METRIC TONS of water. To put this in perspective, that is almost 15 million times the capacity of the largest crude oil tankers in the world. This is also (if you assume HowStuffWorks is within an order of magnitude of the correct value for the total water on the planet) 1/100,000th of all the water on the planet.

Exactly how does he intend to spray this much water?

Actually 40% is quite good considering, as others have mentioned, that 33% would be the random chance.

it is also worth noting that they have 40% prediction of KNOWN threats.

I would bet there are about as many undiscovered exploits re: these updates, which could drive up or down the percentage.

If I can predict the stock market by +7% over random guessing, that is pretty damn good predicting.

Here is another boolean hack but for Vista! Just set that boolean variable

CRASH = TRUE
and
EATALLMYDAMNRESOURCESWITHDRM = TRUE

to FALSE

I wonder if I can set OMGIGOTAGIRLFRIEND = TRUE... THE POSIBILITIES!

And I avoid to call them "Church", just "Scientology" is sufficient.

Calling them "Cult" will also lend them credibility for something they aren't.

And by the way, isn't "Church" a Christian designation? But Scientology is a completely different thing, and has really not much to do with Christianity.

And by the way - My opinion is that you should be able to have a religion, or copyright, but never both.

Anyway - one person's view can be "Religion", another "Cult" and a third it can be "Lifestyle".

Apart from Articles 10 and 11 of European Convention on Human Rights? Part of Human Rights Act.

Try and remember that first section of US constitution is based on English Bill or Rights (1689) and Scottish Claim of Right, which itself carries on a tradition of defining the limits of state power and citizens rights dating back to Magna Carta (which predates Columbus by 200 years).

Worth thinking about every time americans get all misty eyed about their own history.

That's not to say the UK is a perfect democracy, but neither is the US.

naming an act the "Public Order Act."

The next thing London will do is put up posters saying that you are secure beneath the watchful eyes.

Perhaps they thought Orwell was writing an instruction manual?

Whats the difference between religions and cults? As far as I can tell they really are the same thing.

A religious cult, to the best of my understanding, shows the following features:
1) Is widely accepted to be a cult by those not involved. [like Scientology]
2) Is secretive regarding the beliefs of its members. [like Scientology]
3) Is secretive regarding the hierarchical organization of its members. [like Scientology]

To me, #3 is most concerning, and the best way to be labeled as a religious cult. Notice that almost all 'mainstream' religions are not guilty of #3 (e.g., the Catholic buck stops at the Pope), and rarely guilty of #2 (e.g., Muslims can point to the Koran), and also rarely guilty of #1.
