CIA's Info Ops Team Hosts 3-Day Cyber Wargame
ScentCone writes "The CIA has booked some conference rooms and is working through a simulated 'digital Pearl Harbor' to see how government and industry handle a monster net attack from an imaginary future foe composed of anti-American and anti-globalization hackers. Having been accused of lacking imagination about potential terror attacks, they're using the exercise to better shape the government's roles in a variety of attack scenarios. The networking industry, it seems, is expected to always play a big part in detecting and thwarting such threats, as 9/11-scale economic disruption is a likely bad-guy objective."

trying to put together a script for an animated film and looking for a standard format (svg???) so that the film can be produced by an open group using an open licence to develop the production
:-)
...
so here's the first draft of some script ideas for the opening scene
SOFTWARS
A TALE OF OUR TIME
FOR THE INNER GEEK IN EVERYBODY
------BEGIN SCRIPT--------
enough...
proclaimed the emperor
there will be no software freedom for them
the jar is a gift from the sun, he will fight first against us, then will greatly assist us
go forth! make the hardware merchants aware of the greater price that awaits those that do not bow to our wishes
ignore or disrupt councils and courts
remind rulers and states of the great dangers that will confront them
if they forsake our bounties for the elusive benefits of software freedom
embrace, extend and disrupt
the efforts of contemporaries
and always
be
the emperor paused, looking around the table
glancing first to his right as if to reassure himself
SINTEL THE CLONER
master of designs that favoured the empire
the base upon which the foundations of the empire were built
these annoying free software creators had developed a surprisingly capable threat
impudently using the master of clones creations
but the soon to be completed plan to restrict hardware to trusted imperial systems
together with the convoluted eulas that bound the populace
and the hidden iceberg of patents
would eventually crush all resistance
MICHA THE HELL-FIEND
aah, the mighty demon that fuelled the empire from below
providing the population with a never ceasing flow of hardware bearing the imperial software
not one of his subjects was equal to this hell-fiend, or more useful
looking at him the emperor saw faint tinges of the software freedom anomaly flaring up in the folds between the hardware demons mighty muscles
the demon dared to provide a few dicerning citizens with the loathsome collaborative software
once this softwar was over the hell-fiend would humbly toe the line, his massive logistic neck bowed with sintels help
SIR HUGH PACKED THE THRALL
a glance at the once mighty soft and hard-ware wizard brought a supercilious sneer to the emperors lips
to think that this wizard had once threatened the budding empire with his well engineered core systems
hughs cloak could not hide the tell-tale traces of anti-imperial flames that reflected feeble dreams of escape
but alas sir hugh was rendered decrepid with the sheer power of the emperors implacable resolve
MARIAA THE BANSHEE
this litigous being of unknown gender laughed hideously as she boldly met the emperors eyes
the spirits of the enslaved masters of illusion chained to its throne howled in misery
so did the vast sea of wretches addicted to the exquisite fantasies woven by these fettered adepts
the banshees grip on the populace was dangerous as the wretches could not live without illusion to mask the misery of existence
this one will have to be ensared and tamed,
thought the emperor to himself
or destroyed once the last free entities were dispensed with
but at least this one did not show any signs of the enemy as yet
he mused as his eye fell on the newcomer to his court
SOL THE SUN-KING
having recently submitted openly to the emperors will, this arrogant blustering janus was a sorry sight
with one eye tightly closed and and the other widely open
the rest of his person minutely mirrored his dual nature
one hand clutched powerful core systems that were in appearance as tightly closed as the imperial systems
the other brazenly wielded a shockingly open threat to the emperors flagship
imps redolent with the aroma of coffee guarded their master from the active ex-chimps surrounding the emperor
who somberely regarded his latest ally with feelings as mixed as the face of the janus
IBEEM THE GIANT
In Soviet Russia, I'M so in love with YOU, Anakin!
dude you're already fucked
