"Foreign powers are main cyberthreat, U.K. says"

Damn. More urination on the US, it seems. Terrorists a no. China's gone vogue?!

"The risk from criminals increases when they get into bed with hackers. The capability of terrorists will increase if they employ hackers," he said. "We are concerned that the malicious marketplace will make available exploits that can do us damage."

Although foreign states are currently the most capable of launching attacks, NISCC expected criminal capability to "expand and start to bump against foreign states," Cummings said.

That snippet is from the article... but user responses are rather more obvious. In a word: CHINA. You know. The country whose people our taxdollars go to so we can fly them here, give them education in English and computer technology and everything else they want, and then ship 'em back... (just another reason for nobody to be fear nuke war with China. US elite has been working with Chinese elite... that or something very disasterous is going on...)

2. Only in America!

Where it's more profitable to sell a brat a bunch of overpriced tinkley blow-em-up games and then tell him he's stupid... (and he is. He swallowed the capitalist dog-eat-dog tripe without realizing he's the puppy being eaten by the rabid dobermans...)

4. Logical. Sexism is what we make of it, of course...

Give a 2 year old boy a Barbie set and he's not going to know or care... until he sees mommy and daddy going all upset over it...

By age 14, the mental midget mindset is so solid that they want to really make use of their pent up anger. And since penthouse is still a no-no, video game bloodlust is the only alternative. Even if Christian groups say it's baaaaaaaaad... (the genre, not the individual game because it's got "America" in it, how can it be bad? :rofl: )
