Building a Global Cyber Police Force

dasButcher writes "One of the biggest obstacles to fighting hackers and cyber-criminals is that many operate in the safe harbors of their home countries, insulated from prosecution by authorities in foreign countries where their targets reside. As Larry Walsh writes in his blog, several security vendors and a growing number of countries are now beginning to consider the creation of a global police force that would have trans-border jurisdiction to investigate and arrest suspected hackers."

Or -1 Troll, then +1 Underrated until it gets to +5. But meh.

I actually think the primary rating is the most significant one, percentage-wise (it shows the percents when you click the rating), with the exception of underrated and overrated (which don’t modify the description, only the score). A +5 Insightful that gets a -1 Troll won’t be rated at +4 Troll, it’ll be +4 Insightful with a rating breakdown of something like 80% Insightful, 20% Troll.
