    The NSA might take this for a DDOS attack and make Georgy start a war on slashdot!

    On the other hand... This might 'free' us innocent slashdotters from the CowboyNeal regime... yay!

    these guides could have been much much simpler to write. Why I could do that in this post:
    1. Purchase Windows product.
    2. Receive shrink-wrapped package.
    3. Place shrink-wrapped package in closet.
    4. Lock closet
    5. Throw key into nearest incinerator.
    There. Simple, quick, and easy to follow.

    ... to secure a win box is to put it in concrete and throw it deep in the ocean.

    You can still download them; just don't bother reading them.

    Wouldn't it be ahh... against the NSA's true interests to tell people how to secure private machines better?
