Air Force To Rewrite the Rules of the Internet

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-they-can dept.

meridiangod writes "The Air Force is fed up with a seemingly endless barrage of attacks on its computer networks from stealthy adversaries whose motives and even locations are unclear. So now the service is looking to restore its advantage on the virtual battlefield by doing nothing less than the rewriting the 'laws of cyberspace.'" I'm sure that'll work out really well for them.

    and the us air force is no match for a mere 100,000,000 chinese children being forced to hack them using computers that probably still have turbo buttons?

    google invented nothing. changed nothing. what are you going on about?

    altavista was one of the first search engines. predated google by years and years. (in fact google hired brian reid, one of the altavista architects (iirc) and then fired him later when his stock was about to vest. ....do no evil. yeah right.

    google channged nothing at all about 'the internet'. they are simply yet another search engine and mail service (etc etc). big deal.

    You are full of shit.

    I once saw a similar situation go down at NSA at Ft Meade, MD, but all they did was call the cops.

    NSA does have their own police force, but they are in fact simply cops. Fat, donuts, late model American sedans with light bars on top... you get the picture.

    A few weeks later it came out the the guy was not a spy - but he was a Bell Atlantic employee.

    I see the google fanboys are strong in this thread.

    point me to something google INVENTED, please.

    they may have POPULARIZED a lot of things but invent? I have yet to see useful things that people use all the time other than email and search (from google). sure, they have almost every kind of software imaginable - but where have the innovated other than just being 'darlings' of the geek world? ...or, was it the brian reid comment that was the hardest for the googleboys to swallow? truth is hard when it goes against your brainwashing, eh?
