Sony cancels the release of "The Interview" after North Korean hacking group makes a vague threat to anyone that goes to see the movie. Proud day here in America.

Edit: I see this is already being discussed in the movie thread. Carry on, nothing to see here.

I for one am surprised. I have never met a woman with that lack of self-awareness.

Well, maybe if she's from New Jersey.

Sounds like someone just hacked North Korea's internet connections. They are all down.

There are 1,200 IP addresses in the entire country. You could almost hack them manually.

(Seriously, though, do not ef with the DOD blackhat people. The Pentagon takes about a trillion PRC attacks per day. They're good; they need to be. Gotta figure with all that experience playing defense they've learned to put together a pro-set offense.)

My favorite quote :
Mr Dugain asked how “in our technological world” a 63 metre-long object could disappear without a trace, suggesting there must have been a deliberate effort to hide evidence.

What a moron.
 
Re: Global War on Terror Version 6 - Perpetual Motion Machine

An intriguing foreign policy idea: engage in talks with China and South Korea to unify North and South Korea into one country.

There are a lot of advantages for China (excerpted from article linked above):
-- with North Korea's nuclear arsenal confiscated (by China), reduces the desire for South Korea and Japan to develop nuclear weapons as a deterrent against NK.
-- with unification, no reason to maintain so many US troops in South Korea
-- South Korea is a major trading partner with China, enhancing SK stability helps China economically
-- NK has become a giant pain in the arse for China, both as a source of refugees and a source of major concern (if NK tries to nuke a US ally, then what? that's no good for China).
 
Re: Global War on Terror Version 6 - Perpetual Motion Machine

It would be great, but the trick is making it worth the CPC's while. NK is a pain but it's also useful for scaring SK and Japan, and the division of NK and SK is like the division of Germany for the Russians -- keep your rivals divided. A unified Korea, with a Japan-like plutocratic democracy, seems like it would risk further drawing Taiwan into the orbit of East Asian power economies.

It can't be comfortable having that lunatic asylum right on your border, though, and if China has been about anything for the last 5000 years it's stability. And maybe the CPC will calculate that having to absorb NK's impoverished millions will seriously compromise the prosperity of SK.
