You gotta love hypocrites who tell people that technology is evil and then use it themselves.

$10 says if you look in the cache it's full of pr0n and sports.

<< One memo, apparently written by al-Zawahri, says "the destructive power of these weapons is no less than that of nuclear weapons," the Journal said.

The memo adds that "we only became aware of them when the enemy drew our attention to them by repeatedly expressing concern that they can be produced simply." >>

that's wonderful...

heh, i knew someone here would ask that. Im sure if the article was posted on a techy site like this one, we would have gotten more details. id love to get more details on the specs, just for kicks.

I hope it has mp3, warez and full-length movies.

so that the RIAA, MPAA, and DMCA would be forced to go after bin Laden.

I hope their copy of Windows was licensed, or they're going to be in really big trouble.

10 bucks says it was a 486 dx2

No no, wait, let me guess:

-They "trained" by making and using their own Doom levels... (which explain why they are such excellent fighters)

-When you go to Yahoo.com, the things they have been searching for turn up as "Brittney Spears nude","Linkin Park mp3s", "type r sticker", and "bullet proof bong"

-They had a pirated copy of Photoshop on it
... that they used to draw stick figures with beards stabbing guys named "USA prezadant"

-They have a wall hack cheat for CounterStrike. (Really doesn't matter, all they do is activate a grenade in their hands and run in to the enemy base anyway.)

i was thinking a good ole 386.....

 

[Doggiedog]

I read an article in the Wall Street Journal on the HDD and from what I could tell, it was a rather modern PC. I think it was a Compaq laptop 933 if I'm not mistaken.

 

[DDad]

Any truth to the rumor that it was Crackin SETI for DSL Starfire?

 

[Antoneo]

I bet it was Walker's computer.

"Text files include an outline of an al Qaeda project to develop chemical and biological weapons, code-named al-Zabadi, Arabic for curdled milk, the newspaper said.

One memo, apparently written by al-Zawahri, says "the destructive power of these weapons is no less than that of nuclear weapons," the Journal said.

The memo adds that "we only became aware of them when the enemy drew our attention to them by repeatedly expressing concern that they can be produced simply." "

Oh no!
