By the way, how often do you hear the words "Microsoft Windows" mentioned in stories about malware and DDOS attacks? Most stories I read sound like being "pwned" by hackers is just an ordinary part of computing, and not something for which the designers of the software or operating system platform have any responsibility. Anyone with experience in these matters knows full well that Windows was especially vulnerable to attack compared to other platforms. Yet we only hear about "computers" not "computers running Windows" in stories about botnets. I wonder why? Edit: This story in todays Washington Post suggests that the worm will delete all files on the hard drives of the infected machines in the next few days. This is quite surprising since the intent of most malware these days is to hide itself from the computer's owner so it can avoid removal. I notice that the WP writer does mention Windows was involved, but this is an article in the "techy" area of the paper. Most general news reports about these attacks don't mention Windows at all.

That's because the reporters have to have a clue to report on technical issues... if you subscribe to the SANS reports or related Storm Center news --- the specifically targeted OSs are always discussed. Way too much of the population simply has no idea that operating systems matter in terms of security (or even grasp that there's more than one choice at all).

Considering that the information regarding the North Korean leader's lifespan isn't precisely accurate, it is best to ignore it as that it may turn out to be one of their tactics of diversion. It is possible for North Korea to be spreading false information to test the waters on the issue of selecting a successor, as well as how they will be dealing with future issues over their nuclear and missile aggression.

In that case, there is no doubt that guy has cancer and stroke. I wonder what will happen if he dies before having a successor.. The prime minister Taro Aso says that if he dies suddenly, things can only get worse but I don't know how credible is that.. |

2. The situation WILL get worse. Because if he dies suddenly, there will be a leadership vaccuum, and the military will try to usurp power, leading to the Indian Chiefs situation where there are many leaders fighting for that one post. And they'll likely all be loonies worse than Kim Jong Il, since they'rre more interested in the leadership post that the nation. |

It would be good if China or Russia stepped in to help clean up the mess*. * - You know how they clean up messes like these. See the Chechen Conflict and Afghanistan in the 1970s-1980s, and Tiananmen & Sino-Vietnamese War in 1980s.

If North Korea launches a military offensive, some cities and people in Japan and possibly some parts of South Korea and maybe Hawaii will die and be destroyed as a result. However, the legitimate counter-offensive that comes afterwards will ensure the disappearance of North Korea off the world map. Its not all that beneficial to them if their core objective is to unite with South Korea and absorb their economy while providing South Korea as possible living locations for their own civilians who are in poverty and famine. More importantly, all they got to do is denuclearize, release a few abductees who are most likely not all that important to their nation, they will receive foreign aid and the removal of all sanctions. I don't see why Kim Jong-Il can get it through to the thick skull of his. North Korea is currently picking a death route instead of the winning one, for what purpose? |

China's in a weird position. If they do anything militarily, the world will go crazy. The best they can do is threaten the military to keep the status quo (i.e. just prop the son up and go to bed). Does anyone know if Japan and South Korea have any visible cooperation when it comes to North Korea, seeing as they're in the deepest crap if things get out of control? |
