    Uhhhh... Cowthief.....
    Didn't you read the ENTIRE thread?

    They believe they'll be alright since they have food, water and shelter, but they'll be there for the next four months.
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    Or here's a wild idea. How about the linked article?
    Reading is fundamental and may not be for the mental.

    Actually, they didnt have ENOUGH food. So they are sending stuff down shafts. Also drilling more shafts for ventillation and some comm lines.
    Yeah...I'm a furry...Deal with it!

    Hello.

    The President of Chile bet his post on this, and won.
    In a few hours Chile will be a country of absolute fame.
    In a few months this may be forgotten.
    It is all up to the President.
    Will he lead his country into a new era, or stagnate into the old.

    The event is a victory for our kind. A flash but brief on the dismal road that returns us once again into darkness, did I glimpse a smile?

    Yep. Feels good to hear they're coming out. Of course as with any human endeavour, there's a fly in the ointment. If I were this guy, I'd want to be the last one up...

    Ever since it was discovered that the 33 men who were trapped by the mine collapse in Chile were actually alive, we've pretty much known there was going to be a movie made out of their story. The question was, what kind of movie? Would it be a movie of grim semi-salvation, like Alive, where only a few people get eaten? Would it be truly dark, like United 93, with flickers of hope and human triumph but a gruesomely blunt ending? Or would it be an out-and-out, Seabiscuit-style feel-good movie of the year? Well, it turns out it may not be any of those things. The Post reports today that while waiting for trapped miner Yonni Barrios, his wife Marta Salinas made an unpleasant discovery: Barrios's mistress, Susanna Valanzuela, was also hanging around the mine site waiting to see her man, the same man, surface. "This woman has no legitimacy!" hissed Salinas. "We are in love!" replied Valenzuela. "I'll wait for him!"
    That's going to be one heck of a reunion. Hate to see the welcome back party...

    He might want to stay down there for awhile...
