The saddest thing is that probably each and every citizen -- be them old, young, children, ill, healthy -- will have (as in obliged) to pay his or her visit to the funeral in order to say a last good bye, in a country with a terrible winter and where artificial heating is a luxury only available to the great members of the party. Perhaps even a little sadder is knowing that absolutely nothing will change, for his son has been trained since his early years to take on daddy's position and keep up with the realm of terror, not to mention that the old military leaders who were by KJI's side the whole time still remain.

The positive thing about his death to the citizens of North Korea is to show them that despite of what their government have been saying, their leaders are not deities nor special in any way, and are prone to die just like any other human. I wonder how his death is being explained to citizens -- perhaps they are being taught that the dearest leader ascended to the skies after fulfilling his role as a guide to humanity.

Great news, almost three times the number of people they have in slave camps!

There isn't a single cane of sugar growing on soil where the Amazon rain forest is or was. Be less of an idiot, be more of an educated person, please.

BK also runs on Windows. My old man has been using it for 13 years for his genealogical records. I've tried to get him going with GRAMPS, but still no success.

Maybe it is worth a shot again.

You, sir, have hit the nail right on the head. It's only sad that even foreigners don't see Lula and his gang for what they really are.

IPSec, anlong with SSL/TLS, is one of the most common ways of securing a VPN today.

I'm sure they are not interested in "every computer". Heck, OpenBSD doesn't run in "every computer". They are probably interested in key machines used by companies, foreign governments and such. Devices which actually relay sensible information.

What really gets me worried is that even the audit freaks who develop OpenBSD weren't able to see this. If it turns out to be true then what about other projects which less savvy developers? What about Linux? Not long ago it was reported that the workhorse of Linux development are mostly paid developers, of which most are employed in private companies. What's the chance of FBI having some of them in their payroll?

Other than that, I imagine the "backdoor" is probably a very well hidden bug that allows key leaking of some sort and for which only the FBI has the exploit.

They don't need to dig up any dirt on the man. They could, but it would be a worthless effort. Unless he has raped children before eating their fleshes while they were still alive or has been the central figure of some major economical scandal, they know they can't make him look bad to his followers and to the whole lot of people supporting WikiLeaks. The kind of support and supporters he has attracted are quite hard to get, and once gathered they are quite hard to get rid of as well. Besides finding a way to put him behind bars (be it legal or not) and perhaps shutting down his whole operation in order to avoid the disclose of the rest of the cables, there isn't much they can do about what has happened already.

Educated by the Guardian? Seriously?
