Dim Prawn keeps a backup on a floppy disk.

I see what you did there

Atleast he can bootup faster. Takes me ages.

did you know that if you cut and pasted all the stuff in your brain, it would more than fill every disk in the world ?

I just made that up to see who will swallow it. bored

erm, perhaps not my brain

Yep. Step 2 might be quite tricky. There's a lot of data there. I wonder how many disk arrays are taken up by the word 'viagra'.

Phase 3 - Profit

Already happening mate. The British government has outsourced the call centres for passport applications in Europe to this lot; http://www.careline-services.co.uk/

As well as that, there are now SMS services in Holland which will give you the location of a mobile phone, the details of what was paid for a house, the price someone paid for his car.

There have been plenty of cases in history where people with nothing to hide had quite a lot to fear from their government.

I enjoy the sentiment. The guys at DARPA have had this on their plans for years. In fact, most internet traffic is recorded in the states. They know that disk real estate is cheap, the processing power to mine the data is not / does not exist yet.

So, step 1, STORE EVERYTHING
step 2, FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH IT.

Step 1 is already in place.

HTH

Phase 3 - Profit

[Peoplesoft bloke]

apparently they aren't storing the contents

[DimPrawn]

AtW has more data than Google.

He should post a copy to the government.

We should organise a Europe wide ´send a lot of emails day´. If the state are looking for a needle in a haystack, why not make the haystack bigger?

Brilliant!

Mabe I could cc the email, yours disgusted of Tunbridge Wells.

[HairyArsedBloke]

Instead of just deleting junk mail, forward it to the home secretary and every other MP first.

[Paddy]

alternatively, make a post about your pets that includes Al quaeda, killers silencer warfare and gun

No. They are more likely to pick strings such as:
“I left my rubbish bin too early”
“My kids live outside the catchment area”
“I don’t believe that co2 causes global warming”

I must admit that I once bought an album by the rock group Anthrax. It wasn't very good. Personally I felt Napalm Death were true pioneers in the dark metal genre.

I do like to eat mustard with my sausages, but this can lead to intermittent gas leaks.

heh heh

[Mich the Tester]

Yes, and add the following footer to all of them;

I am not and have never been a terrorist. I don't like bombs and would never build one. I don't like guns that much either. I also disapprove of Al Qaeda. Please direct your terrorist efforts to something more meaningful than blanket monitoring of the population.


That should bring the number of false positives up considerably...
