#1 "Virtual Gitmo for you, pal!"

Great idea! but less virtual, more actual. It could be called "Bitmo" and house virus-writers, spammers etc. I imagine something like a cross between Running Man and Tron.

Mmmm, canned spammer!

#2 OK, Rantburgers, put your best shot forward: Where in the world would be the best place for spammers like these jerks? I suggest Rapa Ita, a small, uninhabited island near Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, 2400 airmiles from any other piece of real estate. Either post or email your recommendations. I'll get with Fred later, and see what we can do with whatever I receive.

#3 Someplace warmer, I think. How about the Soufriere Hills Volcano, on Montserrat, West Indies. Erupting since 1995. We can get a big trebuchet and lob them into the crater one at a time and do a pay-per-view webcast of the event.

#4 Two contenders:

1. Tikrit. "F**k Saddam" tattoos on forehead.

2. QQ47 (hold 'em in solitary until it's in range).

#5 the trebuchet PPV piques my interest, but Gates would have to go too

#6 I dunno. I had a power surge the other night. Restarted one machine and XP was still there. Linux decided to do an inode inventory, then finally decided I don't have a network card in that machine. If I can't convince it tonight, it'll be another Win2K box by morning.

#7 Having spent from 8AM until 9PM today with a crew cleaning this and WELCHIA off of 150 laptops, I'd say give him to me. Throw in the Minnesota Fat Boy, too. Tough to type when all your fingers are busted.
