14:30 <wpwrak> the next best thing to having a vogon battle
fleet appear out of hyperspace right next to earth ...
14:32 <DocScrutinizer05> you might start to wonder if that's
been a genuine FCC concern or actually it been NSA asking
FCC to do something about firmware they can't hide their
backdoors in
