@SuckMyDybbuk: Right, so masterminding 4 planes flying into buildings isn't going to attract a lot of negative attention?
Nobody said Al Qaeda is logical, I guess.

@omgcreston: On 5th and 18th St? I worked there too, in the medical department upstairs. And yes. You are right.
@howdini: Moriarty's behind the dead animals. This is ENTIRELY unrelated.
@howdini: Now you're getting distracted. FOCUS, Watson.
@howdini: As Holmes says, "Strip away the impossible and whatever remains, no matter how improbable, is the truth."
@gloeden31 explains the victim's actions and a really good cause for them. But would that poisoning actually lead to death? And if so, how did the poisoner know he'd drop dead in a certain place at a certain time? In other words, who dumped the body, and so...ineffectively?
"Why" almost doesn't matter.

@skt.smth: I was just on the site (finally able to GET THERE). To be honest, there's not a whole lot actually there. And what is there? Seems fairly tedious. "Your secrets, Mr. Diplomat. They are boring."
Which is entirely Eco's point.

@skt.smth: True enough. I think politicians (and to some extent the media) describe anything done with computers that they don't like as being "hacking".
@skt.smth: True hacking may or may not involve decryption - social hacking is how most of your sausage gets made anyway. Calling IT pretending to be someone else to get access to an FTP site, watching someone enter a password unbeknownst to them - that is all hacking as well.
@amoureuse attend le retour de Mz. Jenkins: Harry looks like his grandfather, no worries.

@Blackagar Boltagon: Marni Nixon FTW!
It's actually pretty half-assed - you'll have service while IN the station, but not BETWEEN stations. Good for calling the office when there are train delays. Bad for reading Gawker while actually on the train.
@sarah.of.a.lesser.god (aka Mrs. BrutallyHonestHobbit): Sister! (I'm an oldz - '87)
@acridsheep: You bet! I am an oldz. I remember these things.
@acridsheep: Bush I. During the 1988 campaign. He accused Dukakis of being an elite because he went to Harvard. Bush I, of course, went to Yale.
@Senor_Macho_Solo: The anniversary of my father's death is my youngest daughter's birthday. Best kind of memorial there is, and wouldn't trade it for the world. I don't begrudge the 9/11 survivors one bit. I've seen what it did to this city. It was horrific. I wish all of the survivors a rebirth of one kind or another.
@alex-y: My daughter was also in third grade. She was called in from gym class (because it was such a beautiful day, they were having gym in the schoolyard - and it began raining office papers and soot). Her dad picked her up an hour later. He and I swapped the kids off and on throughout the day, so they could know that both of us were okay (and we could hug them hug them hug them). But my big girl will always remember that weird rain of STUFF. Catching burnt memos in the playground. Knowing something was very, very wrong.
@Mean_Ol_Liberal: Yeah, vicious small-mindedness can be everywhere (being a girl & wanting to go to college was what did me in as well). This is very true.
@Didactic-tactics: We can definitely co-exist! (I love the expression too - it looks so CRANKY) As I say, I don't comment often. The witty riposte isn't really my thing. Obviously I wasn't bullied ENOUGH as a child.
@Didactic-tactics: Ah. I almost never comment but have had commenting privileges since the days of Balk and Choire. (Hence the star, I think. I seriously don't comment more than a few times a year.)
Don't worry. I'll go back to my lair for a while.
