Crack gets a bit-part in “#Underground, The Julian Assange Story” /cc @alexwilliams282
Bastards wiped my credit, though 🙂 I feel I should post these as 256-colour GIFs, but: I am pretty sure I never wired it to automatically telnet directly into the target machine as the cracked user; Julian must have been running MovieOS extensions on his system.

Sunday? Bored? Here’s #Defra trying to superinjunct & threaten a US website apparently regarding #badgers #sitp
http://blog.nearlyfreespeech.net/2012/10/06/official-uk-government-attempt-at-censorship/: Today, we received a first for us, a letter from the actual UK Treasury Solicitor’s office, the branch of the UK government charged with suing people on behalf of the rest of the UK government.

PHP, the web’s most popular programming language, is coming to mobile # one for @glynwintle HT @jimfinnis
