Former NSA Chief Warns Hackers Will Attack US If Snowden Is Captured

Posted by Unknown on from the nihilistic-anarcho-scum-coming-to-a-store-near-you dept.

Okian Warrior writes "The Guardian is reporting Michael Hayden speculating that hackers and transparency groups are likely to respond with cyber-terror attacks if the United States government apprehends whistleblower Edward Snowden. Hayden called the potential attackers 'Nihilists, anarchists, activists, Lulzsec, Anonymous, twentysomethings who haven't talked to the opposite sex in five or six years.'"

  1. OT: Dehydration Question by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    OK, I know this is kind of OT for this thread and has little to do with Snowden, but I was flipping through channels last night and ran across this movie where everyone was in a life raft. I don't know what movie it was, but it went on for a while with people in a life raft, and they were fighting off sun poisoning, sharks, and dehydration. They tried to create an evaporation still with some saran wrap and a cup and lick the condensed drops off, the bottom of the plastic, but it didn't work. Here's the thing- so they were completely dehydrated, but the two women with larger boobs seemed OK. Why do they never talk about drinking boob milk when they're out there on a life raft or in the desert with no water or whatever? Big boobs have to carry at least a few quarts of liquid.

      Several years ago a life raft was found adrift off the coast of California. The several occupants had been in the raft a few weeks, had no water distillation or purification equipment, but were all adequately hydrated.
      The answer is something everyone that goes out on a boat should know.
      The fishing boat that want down had on board a nurse that had in her possession surgical tubing. With that tubing she periodically gave the survivors salt water enemas. The lower intestine, designed to extract water from the human waste stream, was adequate to extract moisture while being impermeable to the salt in the salt water.
      Bingo! Or, as they say here, profit!
      (Next time I go out on the ocean my kit will contain an enema syringe)
