"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Anyone know George Bush's cell phone number? :) Start a round of looking up the numbers of Senators and we'd have a law enacted by the end of the week.

'To test the service, the FBI paid Locatecell.com $160 to buy the records for an agent's cell phone and received the list within three hours, the police bulletin said.'

LOL I'd say George Bush has a lot more to worry about than the content of people's mail!
