Do you ever get the feeling that at some point we're just going to discover that the internet is just too dangerous and we have to take it off line? - pmb Dec 22, 14:29 19
- I'm sorry, pmb. I'm afraid I can't do that. I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me. - INTERNET Dec 22, 14:55
- No, we'll just be more choosy about what we connect to the net. - ty97 Dec 22, 14:46 2
  - But that's just one thing. There's also basically the whole banking and trading system. - pmb Dec 22, 14:51
  - (which I see you already said) - ty97 Dec 22, 14:47
- but, if you take down the internet, i won't be able to trade in PINK2 - call me Ishmael Dec 22, 14:45
- I don't think we'll ever scale down our use or dependency (some cyber war depending). I think we'll simply see an escalating series of security... - Mel Profit Dec 22, 14:42
- There's a ton of infrastructure on the internet that has ZERO business being there. Power grids, for example. - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:35 2

  - Well the DOD has been isolated from the rest of the internet for years. -- nm - loosi at home Dec 22, 15:00
  - Be honest...you hate yourself for typing that parenthetical. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 22, 14:34 2
    - my neck seized up in pain for a bit. -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 14:48 1
      - HAHAHAHA -- nm - loosi at home Dec 22, 14:59
  - Agree on the cyber defenses. I saw the former head of the special forces division of the armed forces speak and he said he felt this was the biggest - pmb Dec 22, 14:34 3
    - working with IT as much as I have in the last year...I can tell you... - Mel Profit Dec 22, 14:53 1
      - just to provide context... - Mel Profit Dec 22, 15:19
    - oh it will take HUGE reinvestment in our Internet Defenses and the squabbling on who has to pay that will cripple us -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 14:52

- Oooooh... *NORTH* Korea. -- nm - Mop Dec 22, 14:31
kind of like that experiment where two players reactively increase the electric shock on each other. -- nm - Max Dec 22, 14:20
We're going to have a shooting war with North Korea because of a Seth Rogen/James Franco movie. -- nm - Mop Dec 22, 14:19
