NSA does have that mission. Cybercom doesn't even have that mission. No govt entity has the mission to protect civilian cyber infrastructure. And when Cybercom has tried to get companies to beef up their security, they pushed back. Do you really want the govt to come in and tell you how to set up your networks, passwords, etc in your company?
Life is pain. My five-year-old doesn't even cry anymore when she gets her shots -- she is brave as hell -- and when we are done, we go get ice cream.
You may think you're making her tough, but more likely you're teaching her to reward herself with ice cream and other unhealthy foods when she is feeling bad. Eating disorders often have their roots in how they were trained to think about food as a child.
Yeah, it'd be much easier to call them "tracking device with facial recognition, vocal recognition, finger print recognition, your bank info, GPS, and has a "phone" included". Good point.
Try reading that again. And maybe one more time for comprehension. The way I'm suggesting it read is, "I demand that people who write articles in newspapers be capable of writing proper English before getting their degree in journalism, let alone be hired by said newspapers."
I don't know where the hell you came up with "before be hired".
be capable of writing proper English before getting their degree in journalism, let alone being hired by said newspapers.
I believe these should be the same tense. Maybe you could get in on that English class to which those journalists are going to go to meet your demands.
When power has gone down, trucks have stopped. It's an incredibly complex system of moving parts enabled by internet connected devices. And the things we've relied on in the past to get things are done are largely gone. Paper maps? Pay phones? Not so much. Certainly not enough to keep hundreds of thousands of trucks moving to and from the right places at the right time. Besides, the trucks get the cargo from trains and ships. Both of those need power and fuel. Fuel comes in on ships, train, and trucks. It's all inter-dependent, and that's our vulnerability.
Unfortunate coincidence of names. Aurora Project was a staged exercise to demonstrate how one could hack into a power station and shut it down. I was often confused myself reading books about cyber war that talk about both Aurora Project and Operation Aurora.
Without trucks delivering food to cities, millions would die within weeks. No gas pumps would work, no software used to direct trucks to destinations would be up, no GPS devices would have power. Look at what happens when a hurricane hits. The shelves are bare within hours and stay bare until trucks get back in. Hospitals would run out of medication, water treatment facilities would be offline. Big cities, and many smaller ones too, are highly dependent on the flow of food, water, medicine, etc coming in every day.
And they've published books too. Cyber War by Richard Clark and America the Vulnerable by Joel Brenner are two I've read recently. It's not fabricated and it's not secret. You just don't know anything about it. But don't let that stop you from making snide ignorant remarks.

Everyone knows the hacking threat is made up by the US government, as I am continually reminded every time I try to talk about it.

Can you imagine a civil engineer gradually patching structural inconsistencies in a bridge as they show up? Yikes!
Yeah, it's almost as if software and bridges are two entirely different things and require totally different approaches to maintain them!
There's that sound again.
That sounds amazingly similar to the sound I hear when slashdaughters make programming jokes.
It's just VAPRware. Actually after I see it, it's probably VAPRware too.
Mmmmm, yes. And in the same price increase/size doubling as all other drives for the same device. Inconceiveable!
42?
I propose an alternative. See sig.
If anyone were interested in doing the right thing, they would likely have done so before being threatened.
Yeah, it'd be much easier to call them "tracking device with facial recognition, vocal recognition, finger print recognition, your bank info, GPS, and has a "phone" included". Good point.
Reading is hard. Let's go shopping!

Boycott Apple products...Its not like there are mass of better value alternatives.
Sure, you could go to Aooke.

Which further adds to the irony.
Exactly. It's like rain on your wedding day.
Or maybe the code could replicate itself and infect multiple power stations, sort of like a VIRUS.

I think the file he uploaded in the beginning was something like 200 megabytes. Or maybe 20. It's certainly chuckle inducing to watch these days.

I don't own a TV. I read books. Like Cyber War by Richard Clark, and America the Vulnerable by Joel Brenner. This isn't fiction.
