University Presidents Supporting a 18 Year Old Drinking Age?!

I read about this in the Critical Badger's article, "What is UW-Madison’s position on this?"
According to the original article, about 100 school presidents from places like Duke, Ohio State, and Syracuse have come out in support of lowering the drinking age to 18.

Finally, some people with enough foresight to realize that if people can't drink in a bar, they will drink at house parties; And house parties are dangerous places, especially for binge drinkers.

Internet War Precedes REAL War

An article in today's New York Times, Cyberspace Barrage Preceded Russian Fighting, talks about what seems to be a new generation of fighting tactics.

The result? The Georgian government is now posting news releases on their Blogger site!

The cost? As little as 4 cents per machine. How's that for a deal? Heck, with Russia being one of the main suppliers of Georgian internet, they even had a cheap way in. Ok, cheap is an understatement. After all, Georgian internet providers are paying Russian internet providers for the service.

The real story? The sites reported down all are media related outlets. The equivalent of downing TV and Radio broadcasters. I wouldn't be surprised if the Georgian government is being attacked by hackers too. After all, my personal server is the butt of a few attacks a week. Unfortunately, we'll likely never hear about the real break-ins. The web site problems might not even be a coordinated attack by Russia's government. These kinds of attacks can easily be performed by well connected and seasoned individual hackers.

It is almost like independent terrorists working alongside their government. I'm scared. Just imagine what things will be like in the future.
