- gonzo41 4y agoThat comic is spot on. Though I would say, as a developer, I would think "Someone at the CIA accidentally took down their own website briefly today"
- jonny_eh 4y agoIt's getting headlines, it's exactly what they wanted. Kudos to the Australians on this one!
- ncmncm 4y agoIt is getting headlines exactly today, and never again. The goal was not to get it solved; they already knew the solution. The goal was to get a lot of people working on it. Now we know a motivated 14-y.o. can solve it in a few minutes, so it does not merit attention. "Plonk", as we used to say before endless September.
