I just saw on the news: The Chinese military managed to hack into the Pentagon's system.

This has me thinking: is China up to something? Or are they just flexing their arms, trying to prove themselves a major power in the world of a single superpower?

No, I don't have a link; my internet connection is too slow to find one. Look for yourselves if you want, but this is a thread for discussion, so, discuss.

I think the US must respond to this. Preferably by hacking the Chinese military computers. Only we'll up the ante by planting porn on their computers.

No, no, no. We will put corks in their internet tubes.

And while at the same time, this article pops up.

...and China is denying (http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2007/09/04/tech-pentagon.html) it.

Chinese=Cylons?

Let's nuke 'em! That is, hack them, in internet lingo.

Hmm. Very troubling. The US should respond in kind.

Just like Tienanmen Square...which didn't happen. No, it never happened and if you question otherwise you'll be jailed.

Launch all ICBMs at Beijing in retaliation.

Old, old, old.

This has been going on since the late '90s...

We need to appoint someone exceedingly familiar with technology to lead the reprisal. Someone like Senator Ted Stevens. :)

They have donated a lot of money to the Clinton(s) campaign...

Hmmm, payback?

Old, old, old.

What the hell! CHINA!!! :sniper:

I don't doubt that we've done the same thing to them, as the Chinese government would not necessarily be willing to tell China Daily that their networks had been compromised.

Hmm, isn't he the 'Internet is a tube' guy? Won't he just send plumbers?

About time someone did it.

Chinese=Cylons?

Boomer is the only true Cylon.

EDIT: And her real name is Bu Mu.

Obviously Mario and Luigi are our best chances here.

You mean like it's been done in the past by hackers?

Even better, they can wage war on the triads!

Set a fireball on their asses, they will.

Bit of a waste of time, since their entire military network is run on ZX-81s. They can't devise any grand strategies in over 45 minutes, or the internal components start to melt.

P'shaw!

They're Asian, they're probably have MASSIVE SUPERCOMPUTERS THAT CAN RUN OBLIVION AT MAX WHILE PLAYING MINESWEEPER!

Yeah. We should be scared.

We should find out who did this and send the spam.

So China has deliberately attempted to comprimise the US government. Isn't that like, an act of war?

Well, they deny it, so it's not like we can just go "Yuh huh, ya did!" and start slapping them.
