| still be able to install Linux on an old
| PC or in a partition of your Windows PC.
| Then you can use that system (or
| partition) whenever you engage in any

Cyberwar Hype Intended to Destroy the Open Internet
,----[ Quote ]
| The biggest threat to the open internet is
| not Chinese government hackers or greedy
| anti-net-neutrality ISPs, itâs Michael
| McConnell, the former director of national
| intelligence.
|
| McConnellâs not dangerous because he knows
| anything about SQL injection hacks, but
| because he knows about social engineering.
| Heâs the nice-seeming guy whoâs willing
| and able to use fear-mongering to
| manipulate the federal bureaucracy for his
| own ends, while coming off like a straight
| shooter to those who are not in the know.
