Hell, I am sure no > person with slanted eyes even knows what the usenets are! Hurray for the Usenet not being cool and hip like twitter. This old and obsolete technology that *doesn't* tie you down to 140 characters max nicely flies below the radar. At least if you don't count the binaries. "They're not even capable of finding out who it really is potsing all this stuff on the usenets." Hmmm, that has a ring of the "famous last words". > As for the cameras, these days there is a huge police officer with > enormous Chinese sideburns sitting on a very tiny chair behind an > extremely tiny desk with a huge sign on it stating he's a police > officer in an empty, clinically white hallway all throughout the > night.

How about a company where you could only get a new pen if you returned your empty pen and filled out a form in triplicate. With the empty pen. Very catch 22-y. If you could fill out the form, you didn't need the pen, if you couldn't fill it out, you weren't eligible to get a new pen. People who work in an environment like that tend to wake up as a cockroach one day. -- Danny.
