All we can say for sure is that Mac gave them the ocular pat down and the results were inconclusive.

You're obviously not familiar with the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad school of economics.

I disagree. Conscripts are also just as complicit as their superiors.

FWIW, I also bash Boeing at every opportunity presented to me, then create a few opportunities on my own for good measure.

Nerd alert.

This would have to be one of the most sophisticated false-flag ops in history, considering how accurately they've managed to nail the subtle nuances of /b/tardism, down to appropriately asinine attacks on video game servers and porn sites that no one but a complete loser of the truest stripe could even imagine considering worth the effort. And all that for so little gain. It defies logic to think that anyone would attempt to deceptively mimmic the MO of 4chan rejects liks LulzSec, whom the mass majority of people couldn't even hope to understand without years of experience in dealing with the type of depraved juvenility they exemplify, when there are so many far more effective foreign boogymen on which to lay blame.

Just file it under yet another example of the Iran's absurd, paradoxical sense of governance highlighting their poor sense of irony. It's almost as if they want to educate their populace and then send them abroad to work and live elsewhere. They encourage denial of employment to women, yet allow them to seek higher education. They encourage rigorous university standards to discourage men from using college to avoid conscription. Couple this with a failed economy and what do they get? A highly educated youth populace with nothing to do but emigrate or rebel. These days getting accepted to Tehran University is just a ticket to go abroad on scholarship, how is taking away internet going to help any of this? The government may think they're exercising a technocracy here, but it's only going to create more incentive for young Iranians to develop their subversiveness. And every day that the '79 revolution falls farther behind them, the old guard find themselves in less of a position to use propaganda to cover their asses. The future for Iran may look pretty bright yet.

Practicality isn't necessary at this point in development. Proof of concept has been demonstrated, obviously greater efficiency will need to follow.
