I admire you for this -- not a NOOP sled, not a trojan, not a game, you built a freaking IP stack in 128 chars. I officially declare you my hero, at least until lunch.
My boss sat me down at my first terminal in 1977, so I've been in the IT business for more than three decades. In that time, I have seen mass quantities of jargon-laden, content-free paragraphs. Now I've seen several more. There must be a market for that.
OK, let me check for outrage... no, sorry, can't get outraged by this. I've spent it all on the PATRIOT Act, TSA, etc. Let me know when they're reporting back to Homeland Security.
I'm seeing this attitude more and more from junior officers. The world isn't handing them things fast enough, and they'll sue, complain, snivel and moan until they get what they're entitled to. The sad thing is, this strategy appears to work for them.
If it had been leaked by uploading it to a server, would they ban the ftp protocol?
If you could accidentally ftp something, then yes. The issue is configuration management. Few agencies do it, fewer agencies do it well. The State Dept does CM, though enforcement varies wildly. Army is much better at it than they were a few years ago, owing to hard lessons like this.
On another note, I've de-loused 29 infected laptops this year. 27 of them had LimeWire installed. Coincidence?
i've been using it since, what, 2 days after Ubuntu 9.04 came out, on a 250gb HP convertible and a 20gb SSD eee 901. No issues. I'm impressed by the speed. It does work, and I'm very ok with that.
While I totally love the idea of declaring hackers as enemy combatants, I can just see some Bad Guy spoofing the IP of a Starbucks, and Cyber-Captain Spiff calling in an airstrike.
Would like to see the Palmetto Project do something like replace the roofs and broken plumbing in schools in, say, Fairfield County or out near Augusta. A laptoy isn't going to do as much good.
I keep squinting at the comments waiting for someone to mention the biggest hole in every OS: the end user. The chinese aren't getting most of their information from their 1337 haxxor skilz, they're getting it from loaded e-mails, moles, "free" thumb drives, interesting Word documents and pdfs. The user, say, the Dalai Lama's Advisor on Climate Change, gets a message from a likely-sounding source titled "Climate Change in Tibet: 2012", he's going to open it. Now he's owned. Linux deals with that better than Windows does, but it still doesn't solve the problem of the clueless user, or worse, the clueless admin. And there are legions of both.

Yeah, but Google has money...

This would be an awesome band name.

There's a magic phrase that was taught to me by a co-worker: "OK, we're through here. Now let me talk to your supervisor please."
Not to mention porn. Fast, free, instant porn. and some porn, too
