Alien Nation's For The Rich
Alien Nation's For The Rich
Apr 27Please forgive the awkward They Might Be Giants pun. Coachella is this weekend, and I’m just music-drenched.
This kid from Britain used security exploits in off-the-shelf Windows to HACK INTO THE U.S. MILITARY’S COMPUTER SYSTEMS. He cites WarGames as an inspiration. I guess the days of a giant greenish room with massive banks of processors are long gone, and those charged with protecting our nation are just making do with fucking off-the-shelf eMachines? Do they just scan the Best Buy and CompUSA ads every week to wait for the best deal? Maybe they buy used on Craigslist?
I mean, Jesus H.
Anyway, this kid claims he saw evidence that the government is harboring alien technology. I’m not quite sure how to feel about this. On the one hand, why would he lie? He’s in the news regardless cause he hacked into our computers and gained access to our military secrets through a FUCKING WINDOWS-BASED MACHINE I COULD PROBABLY BUY AT WAL-MART.
On the other hand, crazy enough to hack into the US military’s computers after 9/11 probably equals crazy enough to invent aliens.
I just don’t know what to think anymore.
