Not only headline is misleading, RTFA clearly states that source of the malware is not identified. And this wasnt targeted attack I assume, some stupid fuck just ran piece of malware on secure computer and it spreaded. Of course to make things big and get money on "cyberdefense" there should be some country to blame.
>> Military computers are regularly beset by outside hackers, computer viruses and worms. But defense officials said the most recent attack involved an intrusive piece of malicious software, or "malware," apparently designed specifically to target military networks.
so some stupid idiot ran piece of malware on supposed to be secured computer and it spreaded over secure network.. of course there'd be someone to blame.. why not these evil ruskies?
I remember recently that they accused Russians or Chinese or whatever for attacking their government sites and kind of they created some serious cyberforce after these attacks? Kind of makes me wonder. How is this possible to have some serious cyberforce and not able to shut botnet which originates from your own country. Smelling bullshit somewhere.
Guess right. I'm European, not even from English-speaking country though. Didn't hear anything about offers and refusal. Can you provide me with links? Also how is this over the top comparing Guantanamo Bay to the Nazi concentration camps? Guantanamo isn't the only one. Abu-graib? I'm sure there are a dozen we didn't hear of. And of course Guantanamo Bay IS the concentration camp by definition. It's used to unlawfully concentrate people. It's not civil prison, it's not war prison.
Did you read this: On July 2, 2008, the International Herald Tribune revealed in an article that the U.S. military trainers who came to Guantánamo Bay in December 2002 had based an entire interrogation class on a chart copied directly from a 1957 Air Force study of Chinese Communist torture techniques used during the Korean War to obtain confessions, many of them false. The chart showed the effects of "coercive management techniques" for possible use on prisoners, including "sleep deprivation," "prolonged constraint," and "exposure." The 1957 article from which the chart was copied, written by Alfred D. Biderman, a sociologist then working for the Air Force, was entitled "Communist Attempts to Elicit False Confessions From Air Force Prisoners of War". Other techniques used by the Chinese Communists that were listed on the chart include "Semi-Starvation," "Exploitation of Wounds," and "Filthy, Infested Surroundings," along with their effects: "Makes Victim Dependent on Interrogator," "Weakens Mental and Physical Ability to Resist," and "Reduces Prisoner to 'Animal Level' Concerns." The only change made to the chart used at Guantánamo was an altered title.
This is concentration camp, no doubts. Do you think that German population didn't know that Nazis had concentration camps? Sure they did know and approved them, listening to the government propaganda. All of the population within these camps were of course "unlawful combatants" (modern talk for "enemies"). World changed much compared to ww2. That's for sure. Pattern never seems to change though, they just use different words.
lwsimon, you don't have balls to reply with your real id? Ignore the problem all you like, don't be surprised when ww3 hits your country though. This time USA being an axis. The time is pretty close.
Congratulations, you just described WW III, only US being former declining power instead of Germany and wanting to retaliate. We all know how it ended. You already have concentration camp project, putting there ppl by race (mostly yet). Go ahead, America, land of the free.

It occurs to me that killing half of the society thinking about invulnerability and always-right of doctors is mandatory to make the society to be civilized. Doesn't hurt to kill all the idiots who believe in shamans, right?
Of course this is 100% bullshit. If you don't have a cure - just tell them so. No deception is necessary. Modern medicine in USA is becoming shamanism. Too much uncontrolled power that people believe. No wonder medicine on Cuba is better than that of the USA.

I agree with you.. Also not to forget about various SDKs that nVidia has, stereo drivers etc. ATI is total crap software and driver-wise. If nVidia has serious problems, nobody wins.
Can you provide more details on this? I always thought that nVidia had excellent drivers and open platform, while ATI was pain in the ass for several years.
Try to press "Start" button and navigate to start menu at the same time with your mouse. Makes everything way faster. Kind of like instant-key toolbar. I guess it's intended to be this way.
See my comment http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=984089&cid=25242409 These are indeed "real" desktop switching with win32 isolated desktops, not some window hiding/unhiding like most if not all windows desktop managers do. You can't move windows around desktops as result, but it's not actually very major annoyance compared to sluggishness of all desktop switchers I tried. Funny thing that "real" desktop switcher app was even included in platform sdk but it never worked since w2k - some problems with permissions.
