While I'm hitting the bookstores and name-dropping, George Smith, editor of The Crypt Newsletter has finally shamed me into ordering his book, The Virus Creation Labs by forwarding me an excerpt from the newsletter (the full newsletter is available to those who send him a specific quote from the book) which points out that a year ago the same John Hamre who's hollering about the current "attacks" on the Pentagon's Internet connected computers said almost exactly a year ago that the Pentagon was under a direct attack from cyberspace, which turned out to be two teens from northern California and one from Israel. If that was all your average small-town ISP had to deal with they'd thank their lucky stars.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
