major security company with international government and defense contracts has recently detected an enormous cyber attack!
the attacks is from China, because the chinese manufacture our televisions and appliances and therefore are most identifiable in the minds
of american senators congressmen and those who sign perpetual service contracts and license agreements.
action is to be immediately taken in the form of Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Purchase Order, or your local security company
sales team immediately! for only then can you rest assured the evil attacks of cyber will abate.
additional: malfunctions in your television, home computer, blender, and dishwasher should immediately and unquestionably be attributed to
this latest cyber attack.

Please avoid using any and all aliases in your friendly and ultra-useful social networking realm as it interferes with targeted advertising/shareholder reven....errrr.....the quality of your user experience.
Please do however continue clicking through the adverts you enjoy, purchasing the products you use in daily life, and applying for the various bank accounts and credit cards you wish.

soldiers are enlisting in the department of defense's military branches because they are genuinely motivated to do so through well-established ideological factors. Hackers and skilled system administrators on the other hand are motivated by money, challenges, work environment, etc.
so riddle me, the skilled sysadmin hacker, this:
why do i want to work for a bureaucratic, bloated, warmongering entity who arguably hasnt protected america in almost forty years from a conceptualized threat? Especially considering their most publicly visible sysadmin has spent the past few months of his life rotting in a prison, presumably facing the death penalty?
why would i work for a company where contracts and lobbyists take precedent over policy and logical process and procedure?
and i dont mean to troll. ive had job opportunities in various islands offered to be by the department of defense, but i still cant commit.
is this the same as getting Richard Stallman to say his name backwards?
does this mean Emacs must now be ferried away back to the hell-mouth from which it came?

me? i take comfort in knowing as a cavedwelling nerd this might not affect me much. The only wireless I use is dedicated to reheating my pizza, and until proven otherwise my celluar conversations are typically deemed 'uncool' and of very little tactical value.

bugged yet because dev pushed new changes to the production
environment ticketing system yesterday that we need to roll back sometime this evening.....
