What do you expect, with all those Hollywood A-listers and floppy-haired upper-middle-class smallbusinessmen running around unchecked?

Buzz Aldrin...yes, world-famous astronaut and 2nd man to set foot on the moon - admits on camera that he saw a UFO in space, but said nothing to Houston for fear of the transmission being picked up back on Earth. This isn't some nut - he's a guy who most definitely knows what he's talking about.
Now that's interesting. Any idea where the clip came from?

Yesterday, 09:30 pmThe pregnant wife of Twitter chief executive Evan Williams delivered updates on the delivery of their son on Tuesday using the microblogging service co-founded by her husband.
Evan Williams' wife 'tweeted' that she wanted an epidural. "Dear Twitter, My water broke. It wasn't like Charlotte in Sex and the City. Now, timing contractions on an iPhone app," Sara Morishige Williams wrote late Monday on her Twitter feed @sara.
"The Contraction Tracker was fun until the contractions got painful," she informed her more than 14,000 followers about an hour later.
"Admitted to hospital. Got the second-to-last room," she "tweeted" early Tuesday, followed several hours later by: "Epidural, yes please."
In one final "tweet" following her request for painkillers, she wrote: "The heartbeat monitor soothes the silence of a room that will shortly be anything but silent."
Her husband then took over on his Twitter feed @ev. "Operation Baby Launch continues on track, though a bit too slowly in my opinion. That's usually the case with big launches though," he said.
That was followed several hours later by another message announcing the delivery.
"Yes! @sara gave birth to a perfect baby boy. Both are well. 8 pounds, 21 inches! Smiles all around," it said.
The couple live in San Francisco. It is their first child.
Oh dear Lord. That's just sad.

The Dark Lord strikes again. Have you read how they're actually going to tell who's downloading illegally (as opposed to legally; iPlayer etc)?
Quote: Leevil @ August 25 2009, 1:07 PM BSTI can understand it being obvious by the amount of traffic being used. But isn't it easy enough to "hide" yourself on the 'net? I would imagine if you're a power user, you'd know how to do that already?
Yes. They'll just push more people underground. I've been considering getting a proxy for a while now.

Umm ok, I'm not sure that was on the victims mind though.
Try clicking the link, Nil. They seem to delete all of their news after about a week.
Blimey. More to back up my idea that 5 should be the age for prosecution, not 10.

The courts and prison system couldn't cop. They're already struggling now. We need to seriously think about some kind of "final solution" to the underclass problem. Perhaps somewhere in world history there's can example of how to deal with undesirables on a mass level? 
We need a massive prison-building programme.

Via Wikipedia:
In 2005, while being interviewed for a documentary titled First on the Moon: The Untold Story, Aldrin told an interviewer that they saw an unidentified flying object. Aldrin told David Morrison, an NAI Senior Scientist, that the documentary cut the crew's conclusion that they were probably seeing one of four detached spacecraft adapter panels. The crew was told that their S-IVB upper stage was 6,000 miles away. However, the panels were jettisoned before the S-IVB made its separation maneuver, so this panel would closely follow the Apollo 11 spacecraft until its first midcourse correction. When Aldrin appeared on The Howard Stern Show on August 15, 2007, Stern asked him about the supposed UFO sighting. Aldrin confirmed that there was no such sighting of anything deemed extraterrestrial, and said they were and are "99.9 percent" sure that the object was the detached panel.
Interviewed by the Science Channel, Aldrin mentioned seeing unidentified objects, and he claims his words were taken out of context; he asked the Science Channel to clarify to viewers he did not see alien spacecraft, but they refused.
