This would be a lot funnier if it had appeared on April 1, or at least in
the S.F. Chronicle, but c|net is supposed to know better.

In one short article, we find a grand linkage between and among:

 o Kiddie Porn
 o Spammers
 o Anti-Spammers
 o Hackers
 o Australian Hackers
 o Pirated Software
 o Unix

All conspiratorially conspiring to create a situation which could much more
simply be explained as "our disk crashed and we failed to make backups."

A classic. Read it quick before news.com's clue-consultant takes it off the
site.
