This list covers a lot that is not necessarily Linux specific. Secondly let me 
also point out that the prior article covered 
a different problem with OpenXML

Are you sure you're not a bot?  Sheesh.  Crap formatting, Microsoft 
OpenXML repeats, and now a completely non-Linux relevant article.

Compared to the zillions of zombified Windows machines, I doubt China
 is 
that impressive.



In addition, all of China's traffic gets throttled through a small 
number of optic links, IIRC.

Simply pulling the plug on those links stops anything China wants to
 do.


This is not true for the zombies that already exist in our own country.

Yes, China has cyber-warfare as one of its goals--*as does our
 military*.

And, if our military *doesn't* have cyber-warfare as one of its goals, 
then our military is pathetically stupid.
