  1. Re:view from a different perspective on Chinese Hack Attacks on DoD Networks Coordinated · · Score: 1

    At the beginning, we of course would bomb the crap out of their infrastructure and military installation, given our air superiority, as we did in Iraq. And China knows this and know they would not win in this course of action. Not sure about this one. China's military are rapidly catching up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-10
  2. National Security on French Kids Get OSS on USB Sticks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The French government may have vested interest in moving towards Open Source and away from (U.S.-centric) proprietary software, due to suspected backdoors planted according to demands by the U.S. government. Same holds true for countries like China, Russia.

  7. Re:China is only now doing what we did in the 1960 on Chinese Satellite Crashes Into House · · Score: 1

    I love it when people try to play tit for tat and pretend everything works out.

    China's space technology is 40 years behind.


    I love it when people accusing someone of something while blissfully unaware of themselves having the same fault.

    Just because China is doing things we did 40 years ago doesn't mean their technology is 40 years behind. (Pop quiz: find the "tit" and "tat" in the previous sentence.) A decade maybe, give or take, but 40 years? Don't forget that a lot of unknowns have been sorted out by us and the Soviets (and before that, by the Nazi Germans). China now has many of the matured technologies at their disposal.

  8. Re:PRC engineering on Chinese Satellite Crashes Into House · · Score: 1

    So by your logic, the Challenger, the Columbia, the Genesis etc. are testaments to the quality of USA engineering?

  9. Re:How long... on UK ISPs to Shut Down Spamvertised Websites · · Score: 2, Insightful
    ... until people start spamming using their competition's address to facilitate them getting thrown off their host?
    It will NOT happen.

    Remember two things. 1. The only incentive for spammers and spamvertised businesses to spam people is money. 2. Almost all spamvertised businesses resort to spamming because they don't have any significant market share and don't have resources for conventional marketing.

    So, if spamvertised businesses start spamvertising their competitors, it may (or may not) hurt competitors, but it will definitely NOT make any money for themselves.

    The only businesses that could potentially benefit from this are those established companies spamvertising their major competitors (e.g., Coke vs. Pepsi). But then, few (if any at all) established companies use spamming as a marketing channel.

    You sound like the "leading edge" is something unalienable and intrinsic to the US. It isn't.

    Go to an industrial research lab in any high tech company, or a hardcore science/engineering department (Physics, Chemistry, EE, CS, etc.) in any major university, and you will be surprised how many people there are not US citizens.

    100 year is only a blink of eye in human history. Greeks, Romans, Chinese, British... They were all once a dominant empire. The US isn't the first, and won't be the last.
