Jay, having suffered computer mayhem over the past week, with a format c: experience [after a total blue screen of death], a isp failure, a web hosting server failure for two days and ADSL link failures, I am thinking that cyberspace is a very fragile world. It is going to have to be much more robust than currently, with redundancy, firewalls, security, encryption and a lot more [that I don't know about]. It is scarily important to me and to millions [and billions] of people. I suppose it will toughen up and harden. I suspect the NSA [USA National Security Agency] and others are on the case and will secure systems to avoid cyberwar causing mayhem in the foundations, but there seems plenty of scope for more minor havoc. The USA might have a missile shield, but that is a bit like the Polish cavalry ready for previous wars when they were confronted with Panzers. The Japanese were courageous in their industrial age warfare [if grotesquely vicious] but they were not prepared for an Einsteinian quantum attack from neutrons and uranium. But I dare say the NSA is covering a lot of bases. If I write bomb the White House and Waihopi Echelon system free.freespeech.org with Sarin and get the FBI with semtex Stingers using plutonium smuggled with the contras via Cuba virus with internet poisoning and other keywords there will be flashing red lights in the NSA as soon as I hit Submit. Hi youse guys at the NSA! How're y'all doin'? Hope you having a nice day. It's a pain sticking these Semtex bombs together. They go off when we least expect it... Just kidding. I just wanted to say hello to you. This is NOT a hoax, so get a grip. It's entertainment for you on a slow day. While you are reading this, you have come to a good place to help you with your investments. Take a look around. While you are doing that, how about replying to this so we can see how fast you can react to such interceptions of terrorist messages. Thanks for doing a good job [but how come you didn't know the French were going to blow up the Rainbow Warrior?] Mqurice PS: I hope you don't upload a virus into my computer and turn it to confetti again.
