Google Attackers Identified as Chinese Government
forand writes Researchers, examining the attacks on Google and over 20 other companies in December, have determined 'the source IPs and drop server of the attack correspond to a single foreign entity consisting either of agents of the Chinese state or proxies thereof.'"
Coming to a planet near you.
âoeAny society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
Oh there's a big surprise! That's an incredible - I think I'm going to have a heart attack and die of not surprise!
But we Chinese have such tiny penis! How could we do such things with such tiny penis? You Americans have such gargantuan penis that you so much better than us!
(Yes, I do know that when South Park did this joke, they were really Japanese)
Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. But light a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
I dunno, give them some credit, Hillary Clinton might talk at them again. I'm sure they'll care deeply about that.
Idiot AC is trying to troll by calling others trolls. Amen.

I know it was you, China. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!
sincerely,
Google.
...embargo on!
We know because we hacked their servers ... duh.
Sorry, I don't think it's likely Google will switch to Microsoft IIS anytime soon.
Isn't the use of Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi against the Geneva convention? We could get in a lot of trouble.
Don't kid yourself. It's the size of the regexp AND how you use it that counts.
In the article it says they located the Command and Control box. I did a little investigation of my own and see what they mean. It's oh so obvious this was perpetrated by the Chinese government. Just look at the facts!

What kind of /.'r do you think I am to have a girlfriend?
Pshh I snort at you sir, now excuse while I go back to my parents basement to play WoW.
it will take thousands to millions of dollars to buy a cup of coffee.
I see you frequent Starbucks too.

Nah, as a matter of policy we (the US) don't seem to follow the Geneva convention anymore. The use of either Pelosi or Clinton could, however, be construed as "cruel" even if it's not "unusual."
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Isn't the use of Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi against the Geneva convention? We could get in a lot of trouble.
There is a loophole that allows for such tactics. In theory, the ineffectiveness of either would be a suitable deterrent.
On the other hand, we could send in Mrs. Tiger Woods with a 3-iron. Now THAT would be forbidden as a weapon of mass destruction.
You're thinking of the snail and the turtle..
I don't know.. it happened so fast
For justice, we must go to Don Corleone
Only the dudes in dinghies say that.
What did China do when they found all the bugs the US government put in the plane we sold them?
They debugged it?
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
Sorry, I don't think it's likely Google will switch to Microsoft IIS anytime soon.
I believe that you seriously misrepresent Microsoft IIS. I have significant experience proving that IIS does not require Chinese seizure in order activate its self-destruct sequence.
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure everything I just said is completely wrong.
Especially after she proved herself so cool under sniper fire in bosnia. Look how quick she was with that sidearm!:

What do they loose? The dogs?
Personally, I'm more worried about one side or the other losing.
