  1. Re:So they still haven't learned... on Shuttles Grounded Once Again · · Score: 1

    The bigger question is how well will the CFC-11 hold up to evasive acctions from police gunships before launching into orbit. How's a bounty hunter suppose to make a living now with the 1987 Montreal Protocol in effect?

  2. Oh No! Not the library records! on U.S. House Votes to Extend Patriot Act · · Score: 1

    It makes me wonder how many people this would actually effect. I'm in my local library about three to four times a month. Whenever I'm in the library there are more employees than anything else. Most of the people at the library are using the public computer terminals. Public libraries are underfunded resources with mostly out of date information. They get little public support. Library funding is almost always the first cut. So why is it suddenly that everyone is up in arms over violation of their rights to use a public resource that they never use to begin with?

  3. Re:Have you learned nothing? on Cyber-Attacks? · · Score: 1

    And just what are they going to cyber attack that is actually going to make a mark that people will care? I mean they might even be doing us a favor by making people more aware of network vulnerabilities.

    Do you suppose the RIAA will ask them to go after Kazaa after the commit thier cyber attacks?

    Still a target? Of course we are still a target.

    Are we going to be hit with cyberterrorism? I think that that is a far cry from ever happening. As someone else posted who's name I didn't remember: they have all been attacks that are direct and to the American core. Sure the internet is part of what makes America a strong symbol and target in their eyes but come one? Let's say they get a DoS so big that it wipes out the 3000 most crucial systems in the US. Do you think that is actually going to hurt us in the long run? No way.

    If you ask me they are going to be doing attacks that take lives. That is what gets attention.

  6. Re:Cyberattacks? on Cyber-Attacks? · · Score: 1

    You run countless story after story of every possible scenario of attack that a severely beaten organization is going to attack a country.

    I don't doubt that another attack will come, probably on July 4th. Then people will sell flags again. Hey... maybe if the cyber attack occures someone can sell little tiny cyberflags when everyone in America creates a webpage to memorialize the day the White House's webpage died.

  7. Madlib Attacks on Cyber-Attacks? · · Score: 1

    I have personally felt like Washington has been warning the nation of [FILLINTHEBLANK] Attacks ever since 9/11. So far about the only thing I haven't seen is:

    "Washington warned today of possible terrorist attacks against small puppies and possibly one of the two black gerbils at the new Debbie's Petland that opened in the Cape Cod Mall last week."

    Haven't they heard of sensory overload?
