There is already something cyber out there, which targets and attacks Flamer-identified targets and probably causes some "collateral damage".<br /><br />Eugene Kaspersky is very nice to warn of a need for a cyber-weapons treaty. Russia will suffer the least in a cyberwar: not net, no mobile phones, let's go drink vodka! They will keep heroicly fighting the foreign invaders of their sacred lands, even if there is no longer a link to their higher command, just like in the war-time novel "Volokolamsk Highway".<br /><br />Infinitely large Mother Russia is inconquerable in any way or shape, so KL needs not worry for himself and his people, but for the well-being of the entire planet - therefore a cyber-weapons limiting treaty is needed and needs to be kept up with UN inspections!<br /><br />On the other hands, noticing there is no net and no mobile, developed people like finns and americans will jump from windows of skyscrapers. USA is the most vulnerable to cyber strikes, many there will think the Rapture has started when e-war arrives to their shores.Tamáshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012640144696750753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031840977303029006.post-38365607905413508612012-05-30T09:32:55.172-07:002012-05-30T09:32:55.172-07:00"War" and "warfare" are used w..."War" and "warfare" are used way too much, in my opinion.

Leaving aside the complex software produced by commercial 'for-profit' organizations, there is a lot of open source software that has been developed 'in spare time'. Further, there is code that generates code - and some of that generated code is very complex and rococo.Antonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13028658575915561293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031840977303029006.post-16784247352285839092012-05-30T09:25:18.535-07:002012-05-30T09:25:18.535-07:00Well yes but ...
