Submitted via IRC for TheMightyBuzzard. Twice.

Now, according to BBC, Wikileaks has released another incredible piece of [the CIA] arsenal. Wikileaks reportedly released the code that the CIA uses to disguise the origins of a computer virus as a part of Vault 7.

These hacking tools reportedly include decoy languages like Russian to disguise the national origins of the cyber attack or malware. The release may disrupt the CIA's current operations and reveal previous cyber operations.

    a lot of posts for a shut down discussion. Maybe you count differently

    Of course I do! Like Karl Rove, I have the real numbers! Lots of posts, yes, but not on the topic of the article. It is almost like your submission is a self-threadjacking article! Do you see this? Can you acknowledge it? Confess, Buzzard! Confess!

    S'true. I was shooting for discussion both on the article's subject and on the source. Which I got, so I'm not inclined to adjust my methodology.

      No, Buzz, you didn't get both. And SoylentNews is not about what you are shooting for. So please do adjust your methodology, because, sir, I do not see any method.

      (In case your under-educated self is wondering, this is a reference to "Apocalypse Now", a movie based loosely on Joseph Conrad's novella, "The Heart of Darkness". Col. Kurz asks the person sent to take him out, "you do not approve of my methods?" So there we are, Buzzard, like the sacrificial water-buffalo of American Foreign Policy in SouthEast Asia: And you say, in all seriousness: "We had to destroy SoylentNews in order to Save it. After all, it was infested with SJWs". Remember this. You are responsible. There is such a thing as troll responsibility, and personal responsibility, and ethical fishing. If SoylentNews goes down, I am blaming you. And I am not alone.)

        SoylentNews is not about what you are shooting for.

        Sure it is. It's also about what you're shooting for. And Ethanol Fueled. And jmorris. And VLM. And butthurt. And even Azuma Hazuki.

        We don't exist to serve any one person's agenda. We exist so that everyone has a voice.

        Fuck Beta.
