US warns hostile cyberspace acts could provoke military response
By Malcolm Brown | Posted: 25 June 2011 1600 hrs

WASHINGTON: A series of recent high-profile cyber attacks has reinforced concerns about the vulnerability of the computer networks on which we all rely so heavily.

Particular attention is being paid to the most sophisticated intrusions, which some experts believe may well have been the work of a nation state or its proxies.

In the United States, the incidents have coincided with discussion about how the American military should respond to cyber attack by a foreign nation.

Those sounding the alarm about the cyber threat are evoking memories of the surprise Japanese attack on the Pearl Harbour that brought the US into World War II.

1. From what I have seen and experienced.

The attack is currently happening either from ISPs Search engines, or various agencies that are inside the USA.

So really it is defensive to defend peoples right to transparent and accurate information.


Or why hasn't the beer and travel money arrived?

Read the comments from the video creator, the censorship and claims of copywrite are currently being used against people for reasons of control of information, or to scorch the sky.


Spirit Wolves II - Adiemus

OK! two things!

1.) The song is called "Adiemus" by Adiemus. (Or it's by Enya, I don't know. People keep telling me different things.)

2.) Look you copy-right poliece, you guys need to start worrying about more importent things. Blasting this video just because I showed someone elses art for a couple seconds is no big deal. I don't claim to own the song or the art work in this vid. The ONLY thing I DO claim is the way I made the vid. That's ALL! And another thing: How come you guys are only blasting MY video? There are about hundreds of other YouTube videos that have artwork and photos just like mine but you arn't blasting them! (I guess this is what happens when one of your vids becomes really popular.)

Some only see the noun from their culture, and do not know the story, do you feed the good wolf in you or the bad wolf? Some see the same things differently.

My guess, is people saw one word in one picture of that first video, lioncrusher.
And do not remember that Beverly Crusher was the doctor helping the people out.
How do you see it?

3. This needs to be said Random Thoughts

DU has an option that permits you to upload text and images to comprise your signature.

It also has an option that I avail myself of, to turn off signatures. People do this for a number of reasons: to conserve bandwidth, to enhance readability, reduce clutter....

When someone decides to paste an image in the body of each and every one of their messages, they are not only impolite, they are playing the forum rules.

This is a request to remove your images and YouTube links from the body of you post in deference to those who have elected to turn off signatures.

As they seem to punctuate every post you make, whether relevant or not, these elements should be considered signatures. Please designate them as such. Thank you.

2. US economy

Currently the military gets $ 1.2 billion a year of funding. That is one half of the total Federal Gov spending. So they must want even more of that pie. And as Sec Gates said, this amount of spending is destabilizing the US and it's economy.

4. $1,2b is not half of total govt spending.

Considering they they spent $3.8b last year.

5. I think you mean 1.2 TRILLION

but wouldn't it be nice if total military spending really could be counted in billions. Sigh.
