Then go to Siberia if you like Russia better than the Western free world. More than that cannot be stated to such brainwashed comments not reflecting what they mean. I like Ronald Reagan: Weakness invites aggression, and Russia has proved that several times now. I want to live in peace with Russia, know many Russians who think exactly the same, but live under a dictator-like regime. We must fight that, maybe not with weapons, but with sanctions.
This only is another example how vulnerable our infrastructure and logistics are and if anything goes wrong, all goes down. So while I am a part and workingin this IT industry as well, I am a big fan of, while automating everything, still always plan for a backup (manual, "analog") procedure to run basic tasks if systems fail.
I am German. Besides doing my job in IT and thus reading this brilliant newsletter, following comments from time to time, I usually do not comment myself.
Being German, I want to give you our perspective: we see the US (as our European neighbors) as friends and allies. Many will call this naive, but in a nutshell, this is it. We tried - and this was discussed publicly in the press, society, friends, everywhere, also non-publicly I am sure - to raise the issue as such - also not only the fact that they spy on us, their friends, but that they are also so stupid and do not change after they have made obviously some mistakes. Only because of that they asked this guy to leave, just to ring some bells, and I think that finally worked. All other comments here are interesting as well, but speculation. But I am still interested to read all your comments from the Register community, always very interesting!
Some more icons would make it more informative and entertaining = fun. So go ahead and add some, I like the idea!http://www.theregister.co.uk/Design/graphics/icons/comment/thumb_up_32.png
Also, if possible, I would like to add a Scott ish icon from here: (example)
