# new icons are coming today
this is a pre-announcement to generate a buzz. I once read a book about marketing you see. Didn't finish it mind, it was very dull.

in fact I know we did because I drew it. It's the only icon I've ever drawn.

# Can we have colour icons in the future
a magenta cdc would be great I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to program - in fact we do have coloured ones the halloween pumpkin is orange so why are they all black and white?

# in the old days when we didn't know anything about security and didn't salt and hash passwords etc
it would have been trivial to use b3ta passwords to get into loads of peoples email accounts and rob their paypals etc. (Not everyone, but some, those who'd used the same password on b3ta and other sites etc)

Lucky I didn't do that as now I'd be in prison. Or have a big house.

# Well you can't do that to me!
my password here is ferrets159

and my pay pal one is 159ferrets

there's no way you could hack that by guessing!

*edit* many years ago a friend of mine got into a flame war with someone in a chat room, He put his e-mail up and he knew enough about him to "guess" his password.... anyway long story short he used the same password for everything and the guy ended up buying 1000 keyrings delivered to his home with "I am a twat" etched into them! It still shocks me to this day that my friend never got caught because he was retarded enough to do the "hacking" from his own home internet connection!

# Rob bonds
I like that idea. the US gov started selling bonds to finance WW1.

I'd like to get you lot to pay for me to start a war. I think I'll send drones on the bloke at the cornershop who gave me a funny look like I was shoplifting the other day.

# Have you considered declaring war on Sealand?
(I helped save b3ta! drimble he'd been white, he'd been black, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 11:54, archived)
# no - I'm declaring war on the bloke in the cornershop
but how bonds work basically is you get your money back PLUS interest after set time period.

Whilst I have to use your money to wage the war - then claim the assets of the cornershop to be able to pay you back and profit.

So basically you'll probably get some dented tins of beans back.

# all this stuff about wars being fought by drones
makes me think 21C soldiers could be wearing Armani suits, going to a corporate HQ and spend all day at a PC unleashing death from the skies.

(Although there is problems of lag. You want your remote controlled drones controlled by operators as near as possible.)
