America's War on the Web
An anonymous reader writes "The Sunday Herald is reporting that while the US is continuing to pursue traditional means of protecting national security, they are also planning to launch a new wave of 'information warfare' to help combat a perceived growing threat of IT security. From the article: 'The Pentagon has already signed off $383 million to force through the document's recommendations by 2009. Military and intelligence sources in the US talk of "a revolution in the concept of warfare". The report orders three new developments in America's approach to warfare [...] the Pentagon says it will wage war against the internet in order to dominate the realm of communications, prevent digital attacks on the US and its allies, and to have the upper hand when launching cyber-attacks against enemies.'"

Don't even try. Trying to rationalize with the crazy left-wing slashbots who throw those rhetorical moltov cocktails into the fire is like spitting into the ocean. Just let it go. He'll get modded down eventually.. despite the fact some other lunatic modded him up.

A contrived "war on the web"? Who gives a shit? How can we focus on that when Brian Bouchard is about to revolutionize the computing world? Linux is nothing; Brian's got this OS stuff all figured out.
Is there anything that America doesn't "wage war" against? It's like a mentally retarded child who responds in the same way, regardless of stimulus.
Get rid of this flamebait nonsense. Jesus, what a pile of nonsense slashdot is degenerating into. He got trolled by some article, didn't even read it, made a ridiculous statement, and gets +5 insightful? Does he realize that some idiot writer made an article about waging war against the internet, when in fact the plan he is referencing is about waging war via the internet?
And he is insightful... what a cesspool.
PLease follow the link in the parent, if for no other reason than to read how they get reamed on YouTube.
Sorry boys, your CMO screwed the pooch there. Do not attempt a meme marketing effort if your shit is lame.
I think the points I've made disprove your assumption and show you have a biased opinion of the USA. I'm sorry to hear that.
/. is so much more entertaining when you assume the mistakes and foolishness of other posts are there for your benefit. Feel free to take that either way.
I've decided to read all comments as pithy tongue-in-cheek slices of wry insight.
Literalism isn't a form of humor, it's you being irritating.
