The reason that we don't have a proper cyber warfare command is that it's not profitable. The people and companies that run modern warfare are interested in winning the war, of course, but they're also interested in doing it cheaply. Automatic warfare systems and technicians (trained monkeys) fit that model. Even if the system is expensive, the people are cheap - and the people are the expensive part. Contracts these days are written as service contracts, not hardware contracts. That means that the Army brings in contractors to run Army-owned hardware.
If you had a choice to specialize in cheap-to-pay technicians (trained monkeys) or expensive-to-pay (American computer security specialists with advanced degrees) there's only one choice that the stockholders will allow. Everything in America is a business, including the formerly patriotic occupation of war-fighting. Honor now has a specific dollar value. I bet that even the Silver Stars and Purple Hearts they award are given out on a cost-benefit basis these days.
The real question is why would any sane person give it up? It's steady work, you have a large audience, the franchise is practically a national institution in one country and is rapidly becoming such in many others. And you don't even have to spend a 9-5 in a stuffy office.
Really? How many fatalities in flight? One? How many due to the vertical architecture? None?
Komarov went kersplat on his landing, not during launch. The Americans burned in a fire, not even during flight!
The shuttle failure number one was because a flame could burn off the support right next to it. A vertical rocket would have no support right next to it to burn off.
The shuttle failure number two was because ice came off a tank located right next to the orbiter. They didn't bother to insulate vertical rockets because tons of falling ice didn't hit anything.
Did you know that when Skylab launched, a solar panel deployed early. They were in the atmosphere and it came out and was ripped right off the spacecraft. It didn't bring the rocket down.
So a side-by-side rocket can be brought down by a 1 pound chunk of foam. A vertical rocket is considerably more robust - even hundreds of pounds of metal and glass won't bring it down. That's because there's nothing important right next to you to get damageded by a problem.
Isn't it hilarious that all the people who talk the most about the free market, and the efficient market, and the beauty of the market are the same people who think the market FUCKED UP when it decided that programmers are expensive?
I'm fucking sick of this stupid technology. Both astronauticides were the result of stupid shuttle technology.
Side-by-side. Bah. Rockets were meant to be cock-like. Erect. Vertical. Long necked, if you will.
The shuttle broke twice because of the side-by-side architecture. It's time to make rockets that looked like cocks, I mean rockets. Long, tall, and long.
I have been eating at a buffet restaurant which is complaining about people eating too much food, and they're going to run out. My solution to their problem was remarkably similar to your solution. Actually, my "solution" was as solid as your solution is liquid.
Teabaggers have the thinnest skin ever. What a bunch of welfare babies. The only reason they have so much time to stand on the street with a sign is that they don't have a J-O-B.
And if the guy doesn't want to cooperate, go through with the case and get a judgment.
You can take that judgment to the Sheriff of his county. They'll kick in his door at 6AM on a Sunday morning and retrieve your property or failing that, they will identify and seize property which they can sell at auction and compensate you after they get their cut.
In that case, you'll want to be there when the Sheriff kicks in the door, because you can help the deputy identify things which might sell well at auction.
File a small claims case. This will give you a cock large enough to send out letters called "subpenis" or something like that. Seriously, research what you can do about evidence discovery regarding your small claims case. You'll find that you can compel the ISP to give you the identity of their customer, which you can fill-in on the court case.
Send the fucker the summons to court. You'll probably find out that he bought a laptop from a buddy of a buddy. Too bad, you can just tell him that you'll take him for the laptop, and for damaging your data on the laptop. Or he can just settle and give you the laptop back.
Let me get this straight. Presumably you've known a few journalism students in your lifetime. Probably you've even talked to them too. Most likely you realized what fucking idiots they all are, being incurious types more likely to have a crush on a bartender than a serious engineering student.
Why are you expecting that a journalist might produce something that you, a person likely of normal or higher intelligence, would find useful?
Slashdot Mirror
Or he could be completely normal except for his huge cock.
It appears that at least in the near term my position as the sole Slashdot poster who has actually put his cock into a vag remains secure.
Circular argument
4 million dollars from Michael Dell - now THAT HAS GOT TO HURT. I'm going to send that fat boy some fucking ramen to tide him over.
Are you daft?

Fuck, can't a troll post shit spoilers anymore? What is this? The truth in trolling commission?
Four lights. Fuck.
Yes, but Adam West was a shitty actor. Sometimes typecasting is just an excuse for other flaws.
This is Slashdot. You can certainly reveal that he was never human at all, just one of those plastic guys.

It's absolutely wonderful to be a rat in this day and age of advanced medical technology!
Yes, it is a law, you mathematically ignorant slut.

Someone ought to buy some hookers for those 3M engineers. The dry spell is starting to affect their work.

Oh look, a teabagger! How pathetic. Look at it cry.

LOL, you teabaggers are so racist. And impotent.

You Brits are so soft. I suppose that an average British family can expect their children to survive into adulthood. What a bunch of pampered pussies.

La Guardia still has a huge bank of pay phones in the American terminal. I've never seen anybody use them this century.
