re post no. 2432
It's interesting that you mention e-cards, Calpernia. As I travel around the world via the internet; I noticed that even the most hard--core of jihad sites were now carrying e-cards or links/graphic to an e-card site. Not all the sites, of course; but enough of the sites were and that caught my attention. These guys/gals aren't known for their sentimentality and yet there were the e-cards. Figured it was exactly what it is --- another communication's tool.
On the lighter side, I started laughing one night and my husband asked me what was so funny. Well, I ran across an e-card section and there was a section for "your wife" and another one for "your best wife." Hard to believe this stuff sometimes....I'll leave it at that.
Isn't cuseeme.com old technology?
I didn't know people are still using that.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TAMPA - Sami Al-Arian used his computer savvy to help Palestinian Islamic Jihad planners secretly communicate with each other, according to a sworn statement from an FBI agent.
The allegation against Al-Arian, a former computer science professor at the University of South Florida, was contained in documents unsealed Thursday by a federal judge at the request of Al-Arian's defense team.
Among the unsealed documents was an affidavit by FBI Special Agent Kerry L.Myers requesting searches of the homes of Al-Arian and his co-defendants. The searches were conducted on Feb. 21, when they were arrested on charges they provided material support to the Islamic Jihad. The organization has claimed responsibility for numerous suicide bombings in Israel.
The affidavit described the sought- after evidence, which included computer equipment and software. Noting that Al-Arian has a doctoral degree in computer engineering, Myers wrote that Al-Arian had a 1994 conversation with his brother discussing the creation of an ``impenetrable computer system.''
It is alleged that the brothers later discussed a computer network with stations in the United States, Europe and Turkey. They also reportedly talked about encrypted information.
The affidavit also describes a 2002 telephone conversation between Al-Arian and a co-conspirator about relaying a message to an Islamic Jihad official. The man described as a co-conspirator, Taysir Al- Khatib, allegedly told Al-Arian not to discuss the matter on the telephone, but to wait until they could communicate online."
