To Avoid NSA Interception, Cisco Will Ship To Decoy Addresses
An anonymous reader writes with this news snipped from The Register: Cisco will ship boxes to vacant addresses in a bid to foil the NSA, security chief John Stewart says. The dead drop shipments help to foil a Snowden-revealed operation whereby the NSA would intercept networking kit and install backdoors before boxen reached customers. The interception campaign was revealed last May. Speaking at a Cisco Live press panel in Melbourne today, Stewart says the Borg will ship to fake identities for its most sensitive customers, in the hope that the NSA's interceptions are targeted. 'We ship [boxes] to an address that has nothing to do with the customer, and then you have no idea who, ultimately, it is going to,' Stewart says.
"We ship [boxes] to an address that's has nothing to do with the customer,"
I know some other companies that seem to do this for about half my orders.

Both John Stewarts are funny guys.
In what fucking language. Pretty sure boxes is the pl. of box. But you know with everyone out there making up new spellings left and right how am I supposed to keep up. (I mean really "rediculous"???? why that one pisses me off so much I'll never know)
Sorry, teleporters just kill you and then make a copy. A perfect, soul-less copy.
No! Rot 13 is broken. Hey, Triple DES made DES secure again! We'll do quadrupedal Rot 13! That'll fix em!

On the whole, I find that I prefer Slashdot posts to twitter ones because I don't get limited to 140 chars before
Mouse-> Mice
Louse -> Lice
House -> Hice
Platapouse -> Platapice
Faux -> Fauce
Fox -> Fice
Box -> Bice
Apparently it's foxen since anything that ends with "ox" it pluralized the same way
No, the plural of vixen is "threesome".
