Depending on the temps there, warmth, and good karma. The blankets in this istance may only do something for the mind, but if the mind thinks they help, they really do help.

"A previously unknown group, 'Secret Group of Al Qaeda's Jihad in Europe', claimed responsibility in the name of Al Qaeda for the blasts."

Why does the news media do this? Getting the credit is probably half of what the cretins were looking for. Why don't they just refer to them as "some whacked out morons"?

Well sue, your response is correct about the credit but can I point out to everyone that the media initially reported that there were a significant number of groups that laid claim to this action on their respective websites. BUT in the melee the media have singled out the Al Q claim. It may or may not have been them but in the interest of balanced reporting, surely this fact should have been reported. Why have these groups been allowed to keep their websites anyway? international pressure can have their financial accounts frozen. It happened to the IRA and the peace process started up again.
Sorry, just my rant. someone needs to be brought to justice but it seems to automatically be aimed at one particular group. God I hope I don't have to eat my words at a later date.

They should not be referred to as 'whacked out morons' -- they are religious fanatics dedicated to a certain ideology which aims for control of the whole world. These are not just street criminals, but a dedicated force committed to world domination and terror. This is what we face whether we like it or not.

There are N95 masks available that actually store completely flat, as opposed to the "contoured" masks commonly seen. I think this would make it a lot easier to EDC an N95 mask.
This model from 3M folds flat, is N95 rated, has an exhalation valve, and a moldable nosepiece for a good fit. You can get them here at $14 for a box of 10.

The reason they can keep thier web site is complicated, and simple.

You can buy a domain, a "website name", for a pitance. And you never talk to a human. You tell a computer what you want, it looks to see if it is already taken. If the computer finds that that name is unused, it asks how you want to pay said pitance. You put in a credit card number.

Then you need a domain server- no biggy, you can get them any where. You just need a decent web connection, and free tools for linux.

Then, you need to let the domain servers know you are there. Again, you are talking to computers. Computers are stupid, trust me.

It can be even easier- free sites. Like yahoo-geocities. They look if the page is taken. If not, you've got it until someone complains. If you are a student, odds are your campus has a computer club with a webserver. Just find a friendly or sloppy sysadmin, and you have your website. Or just brute force crack a webserver.

There, you have a website, complete with email and all the other fun stuff. Google lists 8 BILLION sites and change, and I seem to recall reading someplace that they only have looked at 60% of the websites in the world. That is the real trick, actually- getting on the search engines.

I know I'm skipping a lot of steps; I'm just going over the highlights, but it isn't hard.

I can only speak from personal experince, but when I'm coming down from a really high adrenaline high, I get the chills. *shrugs*

Sorry big guy, I think my point has been misunderstood. What I meant is that if Sky news, BBC News24, ITV et al can all rush around the anarchists web sites to find news 'bytes' then surely M.I.5/6 or another gov't secrecy branch could have found out who their server/ whatever is supplied by, find out how they pay their fees et voila......instant data. God alone knows, the UK spends enough time and money monitoring us through various channels from CCTV to tesco club cards. Or is this supposed to be exercising their freedom of speech, cos if so theres quite a few honest & decent citizens getting their heads cracked up at gleneagles round about now for trying to do the same thing.

Oh, that's easy. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Send an email using your spiffy new domain name to the various letters to the editor and customer comment addresses. It jut has to say "We are the united front for the liberation of carnivorous avacodos, and we DID IT- we even have website that tell the wolrd just how badass we really are. Just follow think below. Thank you, and have a nice day."

I don't mean to make light of this by picking that name, I'm just thinking of the most stupid name I can think of. That really is all it would take.

And NO, I do NOT know of any such organization.
