Wow. Apu Fuck-knuckles is so incompetent that he deserves to be taken for a ride by every intel agency in the world. (Typewriter sounds are more easily surveilled and decoded into letters than a well-shielded computer. A given typewriter is trivially traceable to a particular office and even individual. Typing paper is somewhat easy to trace. Typewriters requires use of photocopiers, which are a centralized easily-surveilled point of weakness. And going outdoors is what you do when you are so horrifically out of touch and worthless that you have never seen a parabolic microphone on a football pitch. Somewhere an NSA field agent just had a spygasm.)

- kamakazizuru 13y agoWow - you're a racist bigot!
- Daniel_Newby 13y agoI am neither racist nor bigoted. What I am is opposed to spacefaring nuclear powers who are utterly incompetent at their jobs. They put all our lives in danger. If the Brits pulled this crap I would insult them with "Johnny Fuck-knuckles". (For example, "I am staggered that Johnny Fuck-knuckles would send agents to fling around office equipment at the Guardian's offices.")
- r0h1n 13y agoI'm sorry sir, but you clearly are both racist and bigoted without apparently seeming to realize it. "The Apu travesty" - http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2007/jul/16/theaputragedy http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2007/jul/16/theaput...
- Daniel_Newby 13y agoI'm racist for making fun of the embassy security chief because you do not like a Simpsons character. I do not know whether to laugh or cry.
- kamakazizuru 13y agowell - being racist also towards brits - doesnt make you any less racist.
- noonespecial 13y agoYour comment is good. "Apu Fuck-knuckles" is not. You should change it while you can still edit. It completely occludes your otherwise decent comment.
- curiousDog 13y agoHow do you know they won't do a thorough sweep for bugs? How do you know their mode of transportation? If the Russians are doing it, there must be some merit to the solution. Granted it doesn't sound logical. Your worthless assumptions aside, you seem to have a lot of hate pent up there. No need for name calling, Cletus. And it's sad to see this in someone with 12 yrs of professional experience as a "software and electrical" engineer.
- Daniel_Newby 13y agoHate? They've got missiles, nukes, a dirty little war with Pakistan, and many regional political challenges. It is not some lolcat site that takes PayPal, it is armies and central bank policies. They were caught with their intel pants down and their response was to make a show of unbuttoning their shirt. It's like a Tom Clancy story ghostwritten by Robin Williams. A little hate is warranted.
- r0h1n 13y ago> They've got missiles, nukes, a dirty little war with Pakistan, and many regional political challenges. It is not some lolcat site that takes PayPal, it is armies and central bank policies. In short, like the USA, which does all of these at far greater scale? > A little hate is warranted. And apparently, a little racism and bigotry.
- Daniel_Newby 13y agoI agree! It is exactly like the USA! Like the USA, the Indian foreign service needs to use modern security techniques. Not cargo culting with typewriters and walks in the park like a bad movie script. Indian is not a race or even an ethnicity. It is a geopolitical affiliation, like Londoner. Nor am I a bigot. If I could read Hindi, I could point you to the Indian IT discussion forums where the thousands of competent security specialists are ripping into their government in ways that make my comment look like high praise. My fury is nothing compared to the people being sold out by the imbeciles at the Indian embassy.
