Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedevs off-air comments that Russian Presidents are given a secret file about extraterrestrials living among us created much media interest. Most news reports claimed that Medvedev was simply joking. His apparent reference to the Men In Black movie as a source of information on a super secret agency that monitors extraterrestrials on Earth was commonly cited as key evidence that he was in fact joking. The reasoning is that no political leader would refer reporters to a comedy to clarify national policy. It has now emerged that Medvedev was not referring to the Men in Black comedy after all, but to a recent Russian television documentary titled Men in Black that reveals many details about an extensive cover up of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth.
However, a more accurate translation of what Medvedev actually said about the Men in Black phenomenon was: You can receive more detailed information having watched the documentary film of the same name. So Medvedev was referring to a Russian documentary film titled Men in Black, not the Hollywood blockbuster by the same name...
Russian Men In Black (MIB) documentary, a number of prominent UFO cases in Russia and the USA are discussed. The Roswell UFO crash is covered, along with a number of extraterrestrial abduction cases, and UFOs disabling nuclear weapons facilities. The documentary examines testimony that extraterrestrial bases have been established on Earth, and that some are in restricted US military areas with the full knowledge of the Pentagon. The documentary even goes on to seriously discuss President Eisenhowers alleged meeting with extraterrestrials, where agreements were reached with some of the visitors giving them permission to take some of the Earths resources in exchange for advanced technology...

My luck wouldn’t be that good.
Real programmers do it in the ether.
Isn’t there a -b or -t flag that needs to be there?
That’s the corker that typically mucks my interspecies communication.
Thank heavens we got rid of endianness when we went 32-bit or it would forever be a mess.
“Though art denied for thy token has not the number of mine ring!”
“And lo, there upon the switch sat the very hobgoblin that had bemuddled the entire LAN with his foul collisons..”
cp scp xcopy mv
Depends. —help normally gives proper syntax and options. Connect strings depend on afp or smb settings.
-b and -t aren’t used in scp. cp and mv do.
I have foiled thee, foul hobgoblin. For no longer do I place my tokens on the ring, nor do I place them in the star. I have taken a switch to the token, and it is no more.
Try scp with a -o. Should then allow user@host and an option to accept the cert. Force secure through ssh.
Worst it’ll do is tell you “no”.
See? There are good reasons for certain things, but if there are not toddlers on the scene, then things like up or down shouldn’t matter.
</soap box
Yeah... Time will cure that whole toddler thing. ;-)
LOL!
I hate to say it, but for just a week, I would like to relive my life with a toddler...
First couple of screaming fits would have you change your mind.
Unless you meant “relive my life AS a toddler”... That I could understand. ;-)
No, I actually said it right the first time. The only toddler I had was my son, and he was such a good baby that there were never any screaming fits, no whining, and no tantrums.
(Of course, since he married his current wife, all that has changed.)
I didn’t get my daughter until she was 8 years old, and THAT was when all the screaming fits occurred... ;o|
Good for you, ‘Face! We’re so happy you are who you really are!
Actually, when I lived in the tenements, I had a dog whose rubber bone bounced off one of her fangs and jumped into the commode when flushing commenced. Had to call Roto Rooter. Could ill afford it. Since then, keep the lids down. It's not a male/female thing, it's an economic, budgetary concept.
Now, where's the beer? The celebration needs commencitating.
I thought for a moment I was still in Germany, and I was waiting for the Hanisch truck to deliver my wein und bier und cola.
I should live so long as to see 27DM a month for a booze habit...;o]
We inhabit the Flying Castle. All things are possible here. I merely want to imbibe while celebrating the existence of our FReepers. And I still want a couple of beers! ;-P
Hope to be back later to continue the celebration! ‘Til then, au reservoir....
Oooh! Good idea. Time to hit the fridge.
