You're absolutely right, we used the wrong picture. Unfortunately I didn't notice until it went out the door. Mea culpa.
I can't find a link at the moment but my understanding is that that Corliss Engine was purchased after the exhibition and used till the 1930's.
Well said Derek. I'd add that the General's responses had just enough authenticity that I believe he probably authored the original content. But, I suspect it went through a process something like this before it was released:
1st Draft:
YGTBKM! But seriously, I'd love to have a strategy like the Chinese and harness you guys into some kind of ass kicking civil cyber patrol but you know I can't, turns out that would be illegal. Oh well. But hey, if you kick a little ass and I didn't ask you to, what can I do about it? By the way, you didn't hear it from me, but there is a list of interesting IP addresses stego-hidden in my bio picture at af.mil, get the big jpeg one.
2nd Draft after once over by his deputy:
YGTBKM! But seriously, I'd love to have a strategy like "some other places" and harness you guys into some kind of really good civil cyber patrol but you know I can't, turns out that would be illegal. Oh well. But hey, if you kick a little ass and I didn't ask you to, what can I do about it? Please email me for a list of interesting IP addresses.
3rd Draft after legal review:
YGTBKM! LOL! I CAN haz cheezburger!
4th Draft after second deputy review:
YGTBKM! LOL! But seriously, I'd love to have a strategy like some other places and harness you guys into some kind of really good civil cyber patrol but you know I can't, turns out that would be illegal. Oh well. But hey, if you kick a little ass and I didn't ask you to, what can I do about it? Really, email me.
5th Draft, PAO Approval:
Mmmmm... Cheezburger.
Final Draft after corrections:
YGTBKM! LOL! I like your enthusiasm, but you know the Air Force neither encourages nor condones criminal activity.
