#!/usr/bin/perl -w
A couple of MIT students have written a sly bit o' Perl script that will descramble CSS (Content Scrambling System) with a mere
single line of code. Among other dastardly deeds, CSS is that most foul DVD encryption system preventing us from fast-forwarding through FBI warnings and enforcing region encoding. There has, naturally, been many other DeCSS releases - though none quite as abbreviated as
this.
If you are anything like me, you took one look at that code
and thought "Lordy! Now that would make for a sharp t-shirt!" - look no further: you
are gonna be a babe magnet sportin' one of
these...
"I can descramble CSS three lines of code."
"I can descramble CSS in two lines of code."
"I can descramble CSS in one line of code."
"...Mister, you descramble that CSS!"

Cooked up an all-new
Station Entrance - a spoony homage to the fighting forces of the

down into the Station Athenaeum, with the rest of the has-beens.
