Heh. Remember when there was a big story about a porn archive found at
llnl about a year ago? I was interviewed by CNN for that, got about 15
seconds of air time. They wanted me to go "surf the web and pull up some
nudie pics", but I refused and instead went to alt.binaries.supermodels
and pulled up a woman in a bikini (to sort of proove, well, if people
can put *this* up, etc... :) . CNN was pretty clueless back
then, but I think they've picked up a few things here and there - I was
watching this weekend and their "Technology Report" had a story about the
Exon bill which was pretty accurate, despite the fact they showed that
bikini photo again. (It's really weird to be watching TV and then think,
wait, that was my desktop they just showed!) Nothing beats the local
news reporters who came after the CNN guys left, though, particularly the
one who wanted me to "show them the logon screen to Internet". :)
