  1. Crusade? on Catholic Bishops Support Net Neutrality · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's always interesting to see the Catholic Church joining in a crusade that means so much to so many Slashdotters!

  2. Does anyone here think they could do all of that? on Stuxnet Authors Made Key Errors · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "There are a lot of skills needed to write Stuxnet," he said. "Whoever did this needed to know WinCC programming, Step 7, they needed platform process knowledge, the ability to reverse engineer a number of file formats, kernel rootkit development and exploit development. That's a broad set of skills. Does anyone here think they could do all of that?"

    May I have a show of /. hands, please?

    I had bookmarked that post when I originally read it, so there was absolutely no need for me to "go through there" for any other reason than to contribute to this discussion. To presume otherwise is a reflection of your personal prejudice.

    This is what we in the REAL world like to call a 'bad idea'. Didn't anyone see Jurassic Park?
