No, really, I’m not being racist or anything!

According to this story on Wired News, the North Korean government has set up a school for hackers. Suddenly that whole “Axis of Evil” isn’t quite so funny. I mean, these people are aggresively anti-American and they’re training to hack the Internet. Since the US is the birth-place of the Internet, and the largest user of the Internet, we are their most likely target. So, how long before we see the signs of Neo pointing at us like Uncle Sam, with the slogan, “I want YOU to hack for your country!”, eh?
The really funny thing is, I can actually picture this happening. And, I’m just patriotic enough to think it’s a good idea!

Of course, they may not have enough IP addresses to do any real damage, base on that story the other day. Though, after what I’ve said about the H1B1 visa situation, maybe I need to watch out!!
