Upcoming Cyberwars

Jamyang writes "In the run-up to the first anniversary of September 11, Taiwan's President has accused China of threatening Taipei with "terrorist" tactics in a speech that will fuel Beijing's current fury: "Communist China has accelerated development of 'unrestricted warfare' similar to terrorist methods," he said. Reuters man in Taipei reckon he's referring to "Unrestricted Warfare" [PDF] by leading PLA strategists - Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui - who famously argued that China should focus on "asymmetric engagement" in the 21st century. In fact, many related secret documents have leaked out of China lately. Taiwan's Defense Ministry is taking the threat of infowar very seriously, as can be seen in their 2002 Defense Whitepaper. If the U.S. gets tied up in a ground war in the Middle East, China's going to be real tempted ...."

    CENSORSHIP WORKS!

    (*)Note, the word community used often on Slashdot, this is referring to a proto communist commune.

    So, you busy little plebian proletariats, get busy, you have some censoring to do! FUN! Do the bidding of your fat, undisciplined masters who never subject themselves to peer review.

    Good job you little neo-commies. Don't want to hear the other side, shoot the fucker in the head as an ENEMY OF THE STATE [In this case anyone who seeks to improve the sad state of /.].

    I have a Gun and the Constitution [Not the urinated-on pissed-on hacked fucked up one WashingTOON thinks exists, I mean the real one, with Jefferson and Madison at my side], please, give me an excuse to use them both.

    The reason China blocked Slashdot is that when Jiang Xemin saw at how good "The Editors" at Slashdot are at suppressing the community, he knew that if more of his party members saw this degree of suppressive efficacy, he would be deposed, for the good of the people, of course, in favor of Rob Malda as the all new supreme dictator and premier of China.

    SAYINGS, quips et al:

    It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. - Sir Winston Churchill (Especially when your democratic peers twist democracy into a reason commit cencorship, to squash dissenting or unpopular opinions, and refer to them as trolls, flaimbait overrated or offtopic when they aren't any of the said)

    The reason there are two senators for each state is so that one can be the designated driver. - Jay Leno.

    The Constitution poses no threat to our current form of governement. (Death to those who defile the root documents of a free nation to make economic freedom Supercede Freedom! Freedom First! Free market Second!)

    Occam's Razor "Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily." "Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate" "Frustra fit per plura quod potest fieri per pauciora" "Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem" Translation: " "Simple explanations are preferred to complex ones" Modern fucking translation "JUST DO IT."

    Reading Slashdot at anything above -1 is like trying to put a shit filter on your ass.

    Get busy moderating this down, you little pack of obedient prefects of the corrupt state! You are the vanguards of purity, and dissent is not allowed!

    The last few months I have been doing some research into the trolling phenomenon on slashdot.org. In order to do this as thoroughly as possible, I have written both normal and troll posts, 1st posts, etc., both logged in and anonymously, and I have found these rather shocking results:

    More moderator points are being used to mod posts down than up. Furthermore, when modding a post up, every moderator seems to follow previous moderators in their choices, even when it's not a particularly interesting or clever post . There are a LOT more +5 posts than +3 or +4.

    Logged in people are modded down faster than anonymous cowards. Presumably these Nazi Moderators think it's more important to burn a user's existing karma, to silence that individual for the future, than to use the moderation system for what it's meant for : identifying "good" and "bad" posts (Notice how nearly all oppressive governments in the past and present do the same thing : marking individuals as bad and untrustworthy because they have conflicting opinions, instead of engaging in a public discussion about these opinions)

    Once you have a karma of -4 or -5, your posts have a score of -1 by default. When this is the case, no-one bothers to mod you down anymore. This means a logged in user can keep on trolling as much as he (or she) likes, without risking a ban to post on slashdot. When trolling as an anonymous user, every post starts at score 0, and you will be modded down to -1 ON EVERY POST. When you are modded down a certain number of times in 24 hour, you cannot post anymore from your current IP for a day or so. So, for successful trolling, ALWAYS log in.

    A lot of the modded down posts are actually quite clever, funny, etc., and they are only modded down because they are offtopic or an unpopular viewpoint. Now, on a news site like slashdot, where the number of different topics of discussion can be counted on 1 hand, I must say I quite like the distraction these posts offer. But no, when the topic is yet another minor version change of the Linux kernel, they only expect ooohs and aaahs about this great feat of engineering. Look at the moderation done in Open Source centric to see what I mean. Notice any people taking shots at errata present in Open Source software get slaughtered.

    It is a well known, proven by poll FACT indicates the vast majority does NOT want the moderation we have here today.

    I guess I always knew I was gay, but I never let it show. Growing
    up in a small town in Maryland being gay was a sure was to get your ass
    kicked. There were a lot of hot guys in my Junior high school and I had
    plenty of jerk-off fantasies, even at fifteen I had a vivid imagination.
    But the guy I had the most fantasies about was Tony.

    I met Tony when I moved to the neighborhood. The day we moved in a
    group of neighborhood kids came by to say hi and tony was obviously the
    "ring leader", so my parents let me take off. Tony and I got along from
    the start and before long were "best buds".

    Tony was my age, 5'8" 150 pounds not an ounce of fat anywhere, balck
    hair and the most penetrating blue eyes, a real looker. Not that I was a
    slouch, at 5'7" 140 brown curly hair and eyes I never had any trouble
    getting a girl, I just did'nt want one. I wanted Tony.

    Well one night I was lying in bed jerking off fantasizing about Tony, it
    ws about 10 when I heard a tap at my window. Shit! I thought, and tried
    to put myself back together. I opened the window and there was Tony,
    with his ever present smile.

    What are you doing here man? I asked. I was just out goofin and thought
    I'd come by and see if ya wanted to go swimming down at old man johnsons
    pond, I've a joint! I don't have any trunks, I said. Tony said don't
    need'em. Shit I thought atleast I'll get a chance to see him naked, what
    the fuck? Hold on let me see if my parents are asleep. I crept to my
    parents bedroom door and peeked in, they were fast asleep.
    It's cool they're asleep I said and climbed out the window.

    We smoked the joint as we walked thru the woods . I was nervous but the
    joint helped. When we got to the pond, Tony got undressed and he wasnt
    shy about it. He faced me as we stripped. Damn he was fine. I could feel
    my cock starting to get hard so I hurried up and jumped in the pond.
    Tony was'nt far behind. By now I had a good buzz and one helluva hard
    on. I couldn't believe I was skinny dipping with my best friend
    and favorite jerk-off fantasy. We were laughing, joking and getting
    closer to each other in the water. We were about a foot apart when Tony
    grabbed at me, when I tried to push away, my hand slipped downward off
    his chest and I touched his cock. SHIT!! I thought he's got a hard on
    too! Tony just looked at me and smiled.

    It's the pot. He said. Does it too me every time. He moved closer, right
    in front of me, looking me right in the eyes. I could'nt speak, I just
    kinda looked at him. His eyes were so deep, his smile so inviting, I
    reached out amd grabbed his cock and started stroking it. It filled my
    hand, it felt like a polish sausage.. huge.

    Damn Kev, that feels good, stroke it. He grabbed me and pulled me to
    him. Then he grabbed my cock, I trembeled.

    I've wanted to do this for a long time Tony. I know, me too, I've
    watched you jerk off through your window for a while. Why did'nt you
    ever say anything? I asked. I am now, he replied. Let's finish this on
    the bank Kev. Sure.

    We got out of the pond, the moon shone down out of a cloudless sky, with
    out a word, He grabbed me and gave me a long deep french kiss. Our
    tongues met just like us, strangers that soon became more than friends.

    I felt his hands on my shoulders, the kiss broke. Suck my dick Kev. I
    dropped to my knees. I could'nt believe I was going to get my first
    taste of cock and it was going to be Tonys! He smelled of musk and pond
    water, I felt his hand on my head urging me on. I opened and let him in.
    I could only get about 5 of his 8 inches in at first, but I quickly
    learned how to relax my throat and soon I had him all the way down my
    throat. It felt so good, so natural. I could feel his cock pulse in my
    mouth. I thought I was gonna cum and I had'nt even touched myself yet!

    I did'nt want it to end, I pulled off. Suck my cock Tony. Let's do each
    other Kev. I laid on my back and he straddled my face and stuck his cock
    in my mouth. Then he took mine in one fell swoop. His mouth felt so
    good on my 7 inch cock, so warm and wet. I could feel it every time he
    moaned and I guess he could too. Soon we were face fucking each other. I
    comming close I could feel the load building. I started bucking my hips,
    then BOOM I started shooting, Tony took every drop. Then Tony started
    fucking my face harder. Fuck man, take it Kev I'm close man suck my
    dick, shit I cummin damn!, Fuck, OOOHHH shit. Tony filled my mouth
    full,I tried to swallow it all, it tasted salty but sweet. He collapsed
    beside me. We kissed again. I reached down, he was still hard!

    Kev, I wanna fuck you man. I've never been fucked man. I'll be gentle
    Kev, I promise. Ok.

    Tony got on his knees and lifted my legs over his shoulders. Relax Kev.
    He stuck a spit covered finger in and started finger fucking me, then
    two, then three. After a couple of minutes he pulled his fingers out,
    then he spit on his dick. Ouch! Relax Kev, I got the head in. Slowly he
    worked all the way in then, slow strokes. Damn it felt good!! My best
    bud fucking me slowly at first, then faster. I could feel his balls
    slapping my ass, he grabbed my hard again cock and started stroking it
    to match his thrusts. Damn Kev your ass feels so good, I'm gonna cum man
    ! I felt his cock swell he pupmed harder and faster. Shit Kev I'm
    cumming!! Feeling him shoot set me off too. I shot a load all over my
    chest. He collapsed on top of me.

    Tony. Yeah Kev. That was fucking great! What are best buds for?

    We fucked around for two years then he moved. I'll never forget Tony.
    And if he's on the net (you know who you really are;)) maybe he'll see
    this and get in touch!

    1) This article is nearly four years old now. I've seen it several times on Usenet and I don't even read usenet that much.

Don't ask me for information on building airplanes. I have little more than a layman's knowledge of the subject.
