Dealing with what appears to be to the best of my knowledge, tcp sockstress attacks on one of my machines initially connecting to the net and the three way handshake receiving 4 syn packs from ip addresses from within china, I can tell you that it would be much more comforting if the large majority of slashdotters where trying to be a little less funny (I would like to see the "funny" moderation eliminated from slashdot because it seems everybody wants to quit their day job) so that some people within this community would realize the significance of these security breaches and the possible implications they have with security around the world and change their priorities to help solve them. Tcp is up against a real threat from people who have known of its vulnerabilities from before the turn of the century. It is the exploit that will at some point in time bring down many critical systems around the world.
Am I the only one who wonders about the untimely death of Jack C. Louis who was working on the definitive vulnerabilities of the TCP/IP Sockstress?
Can Kim Jong Il even wipe his ass without guidence from the Chinese government? Could it be a smokescreen attempt to trick us into believing that North Korea poses no plausable threat? I think that NK and Iran are just a few finger puppets of China's.

How can the decision to put this into effect already be decided before it has been voted in?
This is about the oldest news I've seen on /.
Appearently, the big red button to Russia from the Secretary of State was a signal of some sort..

I think I'll sue Satan and then Maybe God..
One of the awful side effects, though, is a bufferin overflow..
