Sark defends port deal

From Defective Yeti:

Sark Defends Port Deal

Sark today sought to quell the growing controversy over his decision
to grant the MCP control of several major ports throughout the region.

"I believe that this arrangement with the Master Control Program
should go forward," Sark told reporters aboard Solar Sailer One. He
emphasized that security would continued to be handled by Tank and
Recognizer programs, with the MCP only be in charge of port operations.

But Dumont, guardian of the I/O towers, voiced skepticism. "I could
understand ceding authority over ports 21 and 80," said Dumont. "But
port 443? That’s supposed to be secure!"

The public’s reaction to the plan has also been overwhelmingly
negative. "No no no," said a bit upon hearing the news. "No no no no."
Others were more blunt. "Sark should be de-rezzed for even proposing
this," said Ram, a financial program.

Sark, who has repeatedly denied having ties to the MCP, has insisted
that the hand-over go through, and says that he will vigorously resist
any effort to block it. But programs such as Yori are equally adamant
that the deal be scuttled. "My User," she said, "have we already
forgotten the lessons of 1000222846?"

    Hahaha, that’s brilliant. Tron rules. If you haven’t played Tron 2.0, you really should if your computer can handle it. Great stuff.

    Dude. To me, the name Sark will always remind me of ALIAS.
    I just can’t get over it. Anyone else?

    OMG! I am sitting here laughing my ass off, with my children looking at me like I have just sprouted horns and a fifth eye (I wear glasses). Tron might just be the first movie we bought on DVD. Now I have to wipe the coffee I spewed all over the monitor off.
