I love how China denies it every time they do this sort of thing.

FTA: "Whoever contacted Terra "achieved all steps required to command the satellite," as Business Week quotes the report. But the party didn't do anything to it."

Yeah, never mind that its now a zombie slave just waiting to strike.

We should crash one of them into a densely populated residential area in downtown Beijing. Then just shrug and say, "I don't know, man, somebody must have been farking with it."

When will Chinese officials realize they don't control the press outside of their own country? Don't they know the rest of the world laughs off their denials?

Are you aware that this is true in every country? The press are always the lap-dogs of local power, otherwise, they get no access.

I've heard that in mandarin there are words that when strung together sound like coca cola but they actually translate as "Bite the wax tadpole." The translation they favor is supposedly "Pertual Happiness."

Similarly Pepsi had some issues with translation and their slogan "come alive with the greatest generation" translated more like "Resurrect your ancestors."

The Chinese did it, they just dont want to lose face. Their rehearsed denial affirms it.

No, they *LITERALLY* control it. They pass down actual directives saying "don't report on this", and they can and do arrest the people who violate those directives. A perfect example is the government reaction to media reporting of the Wenzhou train crash a few months ago. It issued a directive that reporting on the subject was to stop, and it largely did.

That's completely different than a reporter being snubbed by the White House because they wrote something unflattering about the president.

I've always wondered. If China, Russia and just about every one else is trying to hack US information, it's logical the US is trying to hack someone else system. I just wonder who's, and is this just s.o.p. on everyone's court.

Well yeah. Cold War dirty tricks never ended they just got more high tech. We have our hackers, just like they do.

That has... nothing to do with what I said whatsoever. But thanks for commenting anyway, your unrelated opinion means a great deal.

As a former Cold Warrior, it tickles me to no end that people think it actually *ENDED*. I feel like that professor in Hellboy:

Professor Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm: 1937: Hitler joins the Thule Society, a group of German aristocrats obsessed with the occult. In 1938, he acquired the spear of Longinus, which pierced the side of Christ. He who holds it becomes invincible. Hitler's power increases tenfold. 1943: President Roosevelt decides to fight back. The Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense is born. 1958: the Occult Wars finally come to an end with the death of Adolf Hitler.

John Myers: 1945, you mean. Hitler died in '45.

Professor Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm: [amused] Did he now?

Yeah, like they didn't do anything with the car passes that paid tolls "Oh Gosh? We could hear everything going on in the cars and bust people?" that were going from HK to the mainland.

China supports North Korea. That alone deserves a hearty nuking.

Fact.
 
2011-11-01 04:22:39 PM
Hey, at least they're humoring us by denying it. It's when they just flat-out admit it and say "so?" that we need to start worrying..
 
2011-11-01 04:24:01 PM
I know, lets borrow more money from them then turn arround and give it to them as a grant. Then we pay them intrest on the loan we just got from them.

Since the attacks were initiated by a rougue army faction in Cotta, they will be forever known as the Terra Cotta Warriors. 'Strue.

"Nothing happened to the satellites - they neither sent nor received any data". How is this by any definition "hacking"?

If I figure out the password to get into your computer and log into it, but don't download any of your information (yet), and I don't upload anything to your computer (yet), wouldn't you still consider it an intrusion?
