Interesting that you say that. The French spy on people and pass stuff back to French businesses. It's also interesting that in France, big business and big government are, unlike the US, very cozy.
In the US, the big-business class are just a bunch of selfish, stupid pricks who take huge subsidies and then turn around and bite the hand that feeds them. Having the US intelligence community feed intelligence back to US business would make no difference to the autistic Rand-worshipping hand-flappers who run corporate America.
Why doesn't somebody invent a tarpitting method, where you write something that'll listen on thousands of ports, completes a fake ssh handshake (slowly), rejects all authentication attempts, logs gropers to fail2ban; but then have your real SSH daemon on a higher port, using certificates only? For you, no problems; for them, like searching futilely for a needle in a haystack...
Wastes the gropers' time, and burns their bots. Get enough people doing this, and it might send a message to the idiots doing it.
Is this suggesting that the Chinese skiddies are sharing intelligence, or are doing recon first? That suggests a level of organisation/sophistication that we haven't seen from the idiots before...
The Sinde Law is already about as popular as a fart in a spacesuit in Spain, and is incredibly unpopular.
But then, if these cocksuckers want to double down and make themselves even MORE unpopular, then let them -- they deserve all the bad karma they're generating for themselves.
Even since Operation Sundevil, the US has had this COMPLETELY counterproductive policy of hounding talented crackers out of existence, rather than nurturing their talent. Utterly stupid, IMHO, and frankly, the people responsible for creating and enforcing this stupid policy should be ashamed of themselves.
The Chinese have this 'thousand grains of sand' thing they do, where they nurture a huge and thriving computer underground (rather than turning them all in involuntary organ donors as they would). They're sent out to smash and grab everything they can from the West, where anything garnered is processed through a specially designed intelligence gathering system, where useful material is routed to local companies and government decision makers.
Granted, the Chinese Communist Party has no morals, but we are in the world we live in, and we have to do the same to compete. I guarantee that if I had any kind of policy input anywhere, I'd be doing exactly this.
At the end of the day, we have a choice: we can either fight with all the tools in our arsenal and shape the world in the West's image -- a relatively peaceful prosperous and moral place. Or we can let the Chinese Communist Party turn it into a quasi-criminal dictatorial dystopia. It's really our choice. In any case, it's the height of suicidal stupidity to fight our enemies with our hands tied behind our backs.
Nobody will care, since it'll only be illiterate poor brown people dying of thirst and hunger and they're a dime a dozen. If it were white people, things would be a lot different./s
At the end of the day, it's merely self interest, coupled with the ability to maintain those interests, which matters. Such is the world that soulless neoliberalism has wrought.
Might go some way towards explaining the massive right-wing hate for the European Court of Human Rights and petty tabloid hate of 'European human rights' in general.
Human rights and (rightwing politics, elite interests) of all colours generally don't get along.
These cushy arrangements are the result of blatant political corruption. "Fund my campaign, and we'll see to it that you get these bullshit unfair laws to prop up for decaying business model and undermine the free market"
Lobbying == legalized political corruption.
The American disease is spreading, first to the Anglo countries, and developing countries with weak governments, then Europe, then everyone else.
Too bad the anti-corruption movement, e.g. Lawrence Lessig's Rootstrikers can't getting any critical mass.
Somebody I know worked in local government, and I helped him with a project where we sat around working out how much power we'd save my converting a set of street lights from convention to LED bulbs. The savings were massive -- little surprise then that they're appearing everywhere.
Tell the govt, police to start doing their jobs. What are we paying them for?
The one thing which really scares crooks is a decent chance of facing serious jail time. I'd imagine that in the US, the significant chance of getting raped in county/medium security prisons too, is a good deterrent -- so you want to put them in county jail with the gangbangers and meth heads, not the minimum security holiday farm. As the Chinese say, "kill the chicken to warn the monkeys".
Once some of the big players see what they're up against, it puts the fear of God into all the other little crooks and chancers.

I thought that most HPC users needed double-precision maths.
Why, then, would a card aimed at the HPC market have so many single-precision cores alongside the double-precision cores?
I don't give a fuck about anybody getting fried by American drones.
Usually, they are people who have sides with Islam against the West, and have what's coming to them.

The Chinese Communist Party commands the PLA.
In China, the Party _is_ the State.
Except that the West goes after military targets. China targets civilians.

And the carpetbaggers know this. Expect them to fight like rabid animals against any regulatory effort to kill their business model.
Naturally, this could happen only in America: where if you're rich enough, you can shape the law to prop up a bad business model, no matter how lousy.
You missed the point.
The point here, is that apart from the French, the West generally only goes after government and military targets. The Chinese target civilians.
What I'm saying is that to complete with the Red Chinese, we need to fight dirty like them, instead of rolling over like pussies.
You meant to say 'prosecuted' right?

I guess North Korea is what happens when an entire country gets Assburgers Syndrome
Jeff Bozos is a chiselling little crook.

These corporate carpet bagger cunts deserve to be sued into a smoking hole in the ground. I hope the community opens the gates of Hell on them.
Our GNAA troll found a Spanish phrasebook...

The cockheads running China are perfectly capable of railing public opinion against themselves.
That's what you get when you put a bunch of hand-flapping aspie psychopaths in charge of such a big country.
Have the guts to show your name and face, 50 Cent Army
They rant and rave and get all butthurt about the embassy bombing in Belgrade.
But somehow, criminal hacking on Western media is somehow nowhere near as bad.
They are the worst hypocrites.
Looks like the wheel that caveman guy rides around on in the comic 'B.C.'
