Israel, Palestine Wage Web War
An anonymous reader writes "A war has erupted on the Internet between Israel and Palestine, alongside the war being fought on the ground in Gaza. A new report claims that a group called the 'DNS Team' has defaced an Israeli Website, with anti-Israel graphical images — one in a series of instances of 'e-vandalism.' This sort of e-vandalism, says the author, is not only an inconvenience for Webmasters, but many of the images contain malware links and 'redirects or Flash links to Jihadist forums or blogs.' However, while the Jihadist forums are registered in Saudi Arabia, they are hosted by companies like Layered Tech and SoftLayer in Plano, Texas. On the Israeli side, 'A fascinating approach over the last few days is being made by an Israeli Website, "Help Israel Win," which provides a download so your PC can become part of a worldwide pro-Israeli botnet. So far 7,786 have joined, already a fairly powerful global computing force...'"
In before shitstorm.
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
The EULAs require participants of the botnets that lose virtual battles to report to suicide booths.
Too bad there's not two bot nets battling where you can watch the statistics. Sort of like live CNN war footage for the command line crowd.
The world is made by those who show up for the job.
You've never installed a Windows-based operating system on one of your machines??
yea, if I'm going to waste my CPU cycles to donate to an online war, it will be something useful, like a war between Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.
The Palestinian hackers blew themselves up after they hacked in to the Israeli website. Old habits die hard...
Yes, because someone sending spam from their computer is obviously as bad as driving a car bomb into an embassy. In other news, terrorism is now a meaningless fear word. And "aiding an enemy foreign power"... is there anyone left that isn't in that category these days?
We have always been at war with Oceana.

I blogged about this last year when China wanted to be the first country in electromagnetic dominance. From my blog:
China: HEY USA, ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
USA: What you say?
Taiwan: Somebody set us up the bomb
USA: Why China yelling?
China: CAPS LOCK KEY NOT WORKING. BEIJING NOT YELLING
USA: China yelling at Washington DC. Scramble jets. drop bomb.

They should just log into QuakeLive and kill each other until they're bored...
A fatwa has been issued, calling for the immediate murder of "Anonymous coward."
Joke's on them. Allah is Jewish.

Why can't all fpga/microcontroller manufacturers just release free optimizing compilers???
That's so cool, where do I sign up to turn my computer into a zombie controlled by a shady Command Central? Does that cost anything or is it free?
It's a sort of a seti-at-home kind of thing when you look at it that way...
You mean someone's trying to find out if there's intelligent life in the Middle East?

Jews are hated because they can have money.
Pretty much every single religion has prohibitions against making large amounts of money, and very strong inducements towards charity. Christianity espouses poverty, while charity is one of the Pillars of Islam.
It all started very early in the whole hatred of Jews story? Basically, whenever someone needed money, they would go to a Jewish person with money and take out a loan, usually for a business. When that business started making a profit, the Jew would ask for payment.
That's usually when the borrower "finds religion", accuses the Jew of something horrible and gets all their newfound friends to run the Jew out of town on a rail. After all, "everyone knows" that the Jews killed Jesus, right?
So, just as with every other religious pissing contest in the history of the human race, it all comes down to money.
Jew can have it; Christians can't, Moslems have to give it away and they both hate the Jews because of it.
Oh yeah...and unlike Christianity and Islam, Judaism doesn't have any foolishness about "Turning the other cheek", so when you piss them off, they beat the living !@^# out of you. That tends to piss off Christians and Moslems too.
