Age of cyber warfare is 'dawning'

"Cyber war has moved from fiction to fact, says a report."

"Compiled by security firm McAfee, it bases its conclusion on analysis of recent net-based attacks. "

It's BS. They are the ones doing this, because they benefit from it.

I don't know if someone has said this before but:

In the event of a crime, the prime suspects are those who stand to benefit from it.

They want to close down those that say things they don't like, they want the power to shut down anyone that opposes them. Yes, the war has begun. The last stand against the dark lord. My money is on Sauron.

Some countries are already using UAV's(Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to fight wars. It's just a matter of time before wars are fought in a virtual world like "Call of Duty" or something...

If only we could just war against each other digitally and not in real life. Say we all hold a LAN party and whoever wins the tournament wins the war ... no lives are put in danger (except maybe if you play for a few days non-stop), no casualties in real life.

Well, I don't think we're too far from that really. If both sides are using UAV's and robots, is it really war? In any event, I'll continue to play FPS's, just in case I get drafted for the cyber-war.
