Thank goodness Crooker wasn't caught violating someone's DRM protections. The FBI would have to turn him over to the RIAA, and that could mean only ONE thing: Gitmo.

Personally, I think Crooker's civil liberties were violated (but like the rest of us, he wasn't using them anyway). On the other hand I think it's pretty funny that the FBI was actually >able< to crack M$' LAME security schemes. FBI-1 : M$-0.

Losers.

"Freakishly caustic" (surely not!) comment withdrawn. Rather tame, as freakishly caustic remarks go. Perhaps you're running out of superlatives?

"didn't have a decent enough camera on the Pentagon to capture the plane that hit it."

You mean the Cruise Missile that hit the Pentagon, conveniently where it was under construction? Look at the video footage and pix they DO have! Where are the wings that were supposedly sheared-off on impact? The engines And those smallish holes through walls supposedly made by an airplane fuselage moving at several hundred miles per hour? Waaaaay too small. And why did eyewitnesses report the smell of cordite? I thought passenger jets used jet fuel, not explosives, for propulsion? And why was the video footage that >was< made - such as from parking-lot surveillance cameras, security cameras at your local 7-11, traffic cameras, and anything else that might have provided even a cursory glimpse of what transpired, why was it summarily confiscated - except for that piece of footage that managed to escape showing a fast-moving, shiny SOMETHING not much larger than a car (if that), hugging the ground on its way to the Pentagram..er..Pentagon? The whole thing stinks.

Like cordite.

Why the surveil the entire globe when the terrorists are all in Washington? Oh yeah, they travel too.
