I thought they might try some real world attacks to test mitigation strategies rather than some guy running a preconceived suite of tests. Well that's what penetration testing is - people try to get in and get access to things they shouldn't, and then they work out how to fix those vulnerabilities Also!  Cyber security has been the focus so far of the prime minister's visit to Washington Does 1776 have any significance apart from the American Revolution?

Pentesting is the InfoSec equivalent of breaking and decorating. Or at least breaking and leaving a nice note about how you got in.

This "lets work together with the yanks on cyberwarfare" stuff is a really pathetic attempt by Cameron to get the prestige he couldn't get through regular warfare. He must have read the same article I did about how lovely countries like North Korea can punch above their weight with some cyber attacks and decided he wanted in on this action.

Answers Me posted:What do you actually get out of being a member of a political party? The fees for all the main parties are pretty pricey Can't speak for other parties, but in the SNP members get to attend conference and vote on policy/leadership changes. There are regular branch meetings*, and we are currently selecting general election candidates. You also get to experience the joys of door to door canvassing and doing leaflet drops. * Depending on your branch there may or may not be free samosas/rice krispie cakes. keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Jan 16, 2015 |

I can't speak for the Tories (they probably decide policy through what Lynton says), but in Labour you elect people to the National Policy Forums who then decide the bulk of the party's policy; the amount of floor votes at Labour Conference has gone down considerably in the past twenty years. All Lib Dem policy–including the manifesto–is decided at Lib Dem Conference, to which anyone can theoretically submit policy. Lib Dem Conference isn't that shy to bloody the nose of the leadership either; they defeated a heavy push by the leadership to reverse the party's policy on airport expansion in October.

Doh another Lorry fire in the Channel tunnel. Wasn't the tunnel out of action for months after the last one? Hope they learn't from the one how to mitigate the damage. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30863024 quote:Passengers are facing severe disruption after the Channel Tunnel was closed "until further notice" following a fire on a lorry.

I have no trouble believing in false flag attacks. But if that was false flag it was very poor as the main result was most of France coming together and the general sense that not all Muslims are fanatics. The usual suspects including Farage tried to pin it to multiculturalism but that was no surprise nor did it come to much. If Mossad or the CIA were behind this I would assume the aim was to increase racial and religious hate. Which hasn't happened. Nothing gaining traction anyway.

Not that I believe that this was a false flag attack (c'mon, guys, seriously?), but it was certainly very helpful for the Front National. They've seen a real surge in support.

Neither's terrorism, but I've seen a lot of reporting on what Muslim terrorists have done and what they might do next - not so much on the attacks on ordinary Muslims. Almost as though it's not that important! Speaking of flags quote:Meanwhile, the French president, François Hollande, said on Saturday that France was committed to freedom of expression after violence erupted for the second day in Niger at a rally protesting against Charlie Hebdo. The magazine’s first issue since last week’s attacks features a drawing of the prophet Muhammad on the cover, in a decision that has angered Muslims around the world.

The next Charlie Hebdo cover should show the angelic leaders of France, Saudi Arabia, Israel etc holding forth about the sanctity of freedom of speech to an adoring audience of journalists, while in the background, baton-wielding police herd dieudonne & a bunch of other muslims into the back of vans. (Freedom of speech in France AND the uk is strictly limited to subjects that the majority don't strongly disagree with.)

The goon with no money 'mo problems on a Peabody estate go to your local Peabody centre. If your estate doesn't have one or you don't know where your local one is ring 0800 587 8215. They have people who can give you (flatmate too) advice about money and benefits. If you're in Thamesmead, there's also an advice clinic run by Fair Finance at the Thamesmead Trust.

Wait, how many people have been rounded up just because of something they said? Other than threats and stuff.

Any time you try, you run a strong chance that no matter what logic, facts or evidence you provide will actually just cement their idiocy in place. They didn't sit down and examine the facts, they saw some video by a delusional fuckwad and decided they wanted in on the attention, and have become emotionally attached to that position, so an attack on it is an attack on them. If you have an audience then it can still be worth debunking things as people simply reading along can be swayed, but you will probably have to do it the hard way, and it won't be pretty. Just remove them from your feed imho, they won't notice a thing.
