Yeah but if it interferes with DCal's Dear Leader's porn, heads will roll. Speaking of-



Well like I said there needs to be a certain infrastructure to exist for his kinky fetishes. I think I might see one pixel that might be active. That would be his fapping connection.

I can't claim the original posting, which would be yours. I just found a zoomed in version showing NK's obvious superiority.

Ya but that more clearly demonstrates the point. DCal430's utopia is 200 years behind the times, but at least most everything is equal right?

Like I mentioned in another thread I hope the U.S. does cyber attacks against N Korea. Maybe this is it as we see no comment from the U.S.? Then I hope N Korea will team up with its allies and bring down U.S. economic and government sites. Then America will be prodded into a military attack against them.

Ah but once again when I think the brink of WW3 is about to happen something will get in the way. Perhaps NK and their friends won't have the nerve to bring down the U.S. internet although together they have the ability to do it.

The funny part is you look at North Korea with no arable land, natural resources, and a maniac dictator who starved and beats his people constantly.


And they still have accomplished 10x what Australia has.



Fuck Australia.

Don't be ridiculous, all the dogs were eaten years ago ;)

Maybe anon actually did something, i feel like that is more likely than our government moving this quickly....
Lol +1

I don't know if it's anon or Obama, but either way, good job. North Korea should not have access to any of the benefits of Civilization.

Exactly. People stupid enough to elect a dictator should be made to suffer.

In all seriousness, I wonder if the outage was an attempt to force all their traffic to take a new route through NSA-controlled routers. I'm sure the IP ranges they use are already well-documented. I'm just guessing they've been tagged and are being watched even more closely now.

There is one ISP providing Internet connection in North Korea: Star Joint Venture Co., a joint venture between the North Korean government's Post and Telecommunications Corporation and Thailand-based Loxley Pacific. Star JV took control of North Korea's Internet address allocation on December 21, 2009.[4] Prior to Star JV, Internet access was available only via a satellite link to Germany, or for some government uses through direct connections with China Netcom.[5] Kim Jong-il was said to have loved "surfing the net".[6]

As of late 2014 there are 1,024 IP addresses in the North Korea.


Given their infrastructure, knocking North Korea off the Internet doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment.

No doubt my 12 year old niece could do it from her local public library.

The movie will be released after all. Good news.

Meanwhile, the internet goes down again in NK. LOL

Fuck Australia.

Making 10x the rice Australia does is not an accomplishment.
