Pentagon Confirms 2008 Computer Breach — 'Worst Ever'
jowifi writes "The New York Times reports that the Pentagon has confirmed that, in 2008, a foreign agent instigated 'the most significant breach of US military computers ever' using a USB flash drive. While the breach was previously reported on Wired and the LA Times, this is the first official confirmation of the attack that led to the banning of USB drives on government computers."
Since the US Armed Forces, DoD, et al. still use Windows it would be prudent for all of them to employ BitLocker or whole drive encryption even on the unclassified computers. The reason being is that I just made a flash drive today that can still blank out the local system admin password on any windows computer in existance (unless they have BitLocker or TruCrypt).
There's a problem with your logic, guns are used far more often in the US for nefarious purposes than you give credit for. The most likely person to be killed with a firearm is the owner. The other problem is that the 2nd amendment as written doesn't apply to anybody, as there haven't been any regulated militias in the US in quite some time, nor has there been a pressing need for it.
You can shove your "related note" up your ass, you little shit. No one gives two flying fucks about how much you love to suck-off Linus Torvalds and stroke his cock.
Oh boy, do I ever.
He tells me, "I eatz da bananas, ja, den I shit on your chest!" Man, when after he's been eating those bananas, his feces are smoooth as silk. I smear them all over me and pretend it's a silk dress of chocolate while he fucks me in the ass.
I tried to invite Theo de Raadt to join us for a threesome, but he declined, citing that he was a pedophile and only interested in Cheese Pizza parties at Chuck E. Cheese's.
