The Internet's Biggest Security Hole Revealed
At DEFCON, Tony Kapela and Alex Pilosov demonstrated a drastic weakness in the Internet's infrastructure that had long been rumored, but wasn't believed practical. They showed how to hijack BGP (the border gateway protocol) in order to eavesdrop on Net traffic in a way that wouldn't be simple to detect. Quoting: "'It's at least as big an issue as the DNS issue, if not bigger,' said Peiter 'Mudge' Zatko, noted computer security expert and former member of the L0pht hacking group, who testified to Congress in 1998 that he could bring down the internet in 30 minutes using a similar BGP attack, and disclosed privately to government agents how BGP could also be exploited to eavesdrop. 'I went around screaming my head about this about ten or twelve years ago... We described this to intelligence agencies and to the National Security Council, in detail.' The man-in-the-middle attack exploits BGP to fool routers into re-directing data to an eavesdropper's network." Here's the PDF of Kapela and Pilosov's presentation.

You are way off. I don't know what mental ward let you on a computer, but I think they need to up the dosage.
If you could read, you could see that I was trying to point out that a complete collection of all porn on the internet would most likely contain imagery you would not find appealing. I made a simple analogy about how a lot of guys, younger and older, like to make funny statements about how they would like to be a gynecologist as if every woman's vagina they were exposed to would be a good thing.
Well old man, don't pretend like you are dispensing insightful observations when you really just an asshole who can't read and likes to insult people to make his statements sound better. I run into people like on you on the internet quite often. Attacking a person's character or traits NEVER supports any of your arguments, but tends to bring the overall discourse down to a level that belongs on preschool playgrounds. People such as yourself always remind me that age is never a reliable indicator of maturity and sophistication.
Your vitriol laden attack does not contain anything relevant to my post at all.
What part of my post indicated I thought sex should be clean? Or that it was not dirty? I don't need to get over anything, as I am not the one that has the problem. You obviously can't read which is why you had some sort of psychotic emotional reaction to my post and lashed out in anger.
