Exactly. He built the damn thing in response to people claiming that it was sheer fantasy that someone could build a cruise missile.

If it is fantasy then the website is harmless. If it isn't then maybe the government should be thinking hard about how to deal with this threat instead of trying to stamp on it so they can bury their heads in the sand again.

Dealing with the threat would mean spending more money, which is either going to require higher taxes or less pay for the bureaucrats. I doubt either are considered acceptable. :p

But trying to stamp it out is cheap...

I'm more inclined to think that because of this geeks will cause the earth to be inherited...

If you get my meaning.
I'm still convinced that it's going to be a woman in a bad mood that presses the button though.
