@baconismyaesthetic: remember "directories" like excite? ugh. I remember searching for porn on webcrawler in ... '94. Deja is still around at groups.google.com. Downloading 50 usenet posts of binary and then converting to a file for one freakin' .gif scanned from playboy .. kids have it easy today.
If you call a fax machine and make crackling noises (like how people make fake crowd noise) what will come out the other side? This could be a whole new art form.
@bens09: Confession: I actually have some old floppies which I believe are filled with newsgroup pics, but I haven't had a 5 1/4" drive installed in years.
@baconismyaesthetic: 56k? Those were lightning fast compared to the 2400 and 9600, which were dominant before the start of the web.
It wasn't just "too-liberal" US Attorneys, it was any US Attorney, regardless of political stripe, who wouldn't bring corruption charges against the democratic elected officials and big campaign donors Rove wanted targeted. David Iglesias of New Mexico is no bleeding heart liberal.
Unfortunately, Pareene, I also think you should have your champagne now. That raving milquetoast Barack Obama will never spend an ounce of political capital having Rove or any other Bush administration criminals punished.
@lawyergay: Just as well, really. Such a move would send a good number of Freepers and Teabaggers running for their guns, looking to exact vengeance on the "New Hitler." As much as I'd love to see the little porker behind bars I don't need the additional aggravation.
Rove is a fat POS who should, but unfortunately won't, spend the rest of his life in prison (ideally joined by Bush, Cheney, Condi and the rest of the war criminals).
Judiciary officials report that the testimony was delayed several hours when Rove placed his hand on the bible to be sworn in, there was a loud hissing sound and smoke began to emanate from the book's cover. "It burns, it burns," Rove rasped painfully, before wrenching his hand free, reverting to the form of a bat, and flying for the open window while shrieking in pain.

Can you imagine the smut that's still hanging around on old IBM punch cards?

I think it would be better (though even more unlikely)if Bush, Cheney, Rove and Rumsfeld could be air-dropped into Al Queda territory.
