Oooh, bottom. Did you get that in the States?

See, if the Rift War saga by Raymond E Feist were made into films ...

If we go back to network intrusion, this can be performed remotely and silently from a territory which does not uphold the law as it applies in the target country. Any fallout, if discovered in the first place, would be diplomatic. This is a very different scenario than physically accessing a location on foreign soil. We have lots of experience in building walls and employing guards, not as much defending from something we can't see.

There's a perception that cyber warfare is just about shutting down systems and blowing things up, where as it appears a far bigger concern is information gathering.

Much of the argument for or against a new iMac will come down to price once it's configured with ram / drives / gfx. If we're looking at silly money, I'll just upgrade the Win 7 workstation and grab a mini as a day-to-day machine.

It's frustrating; I really hope Apple is going to surprise everyone with new Mac Pros, but I don't see the ecosystem that would warrant them any more.
