- Grahamcracker, on 03/03/2009, -1/+76Gotta learn to uncheck that "Share entire hard drive" option first thing.
- tavallai, on 03/03/2009, -5/+78Blah blah blah P2P is dangerous yadda yadda blah blah.
How 'bout keeping overpaid gov't contractors from leaking the ***** in the first place? - captainmo77, on 03/03/2009, -0/+62This is also how the Death Star plans were leaked to the Rebel Alliance. A stormtrooper running Limewire accidentally selected the option to share his whole drive.
- inactive, on 03/03/2009, -2/+48OK, so I downloaded the file from the helicopter like you said, but now I can't open the file. What is a iso? How do you "mount" it. Someone please help, it took me 3 days to download it and I really want to play.
- pintomp3, on 03/03/2009, -1/+34V = 9
A = 8
Another quality aXXo release. If the file isn't playing for you, try VLC. - carondelet, on 03/03/2009, -1/+31Government contractors like free music too.
- inactive, on 03/03/2009, -0/+23Many Bothans got sued by the RIAA to get this information.
- greendalek, on 03/03/2009, -2/+21DISTRACT DISTRACT DISTRACT OHNOOOES EVIL IRAN COMIN' TA GETCHYA OOOOOH
Whatever. We've seen this movie before. So what's being covered up? - macdady843, on 03/03/2009, -2/+16You've never used a P2P client?? Wake up man its 2009.
- MattB123, on 03/03/2009, -2/+16The problem here is idiots. When someone being stupid kills people with their car, do we blame the car?
- Maudrid, on 03/03/2009, -2/+16I finally got it mounted but now the zip file has a password. What is the password?
- td001, on 03/03/2009, -1/+13That quote is TOTALLY out of context. That quote was referring to Japanese Americans in interment camps during WWII. When the man said he will stand by them [the Muslims], he meant the US would not treat Muslims in that manner, should the political winds shift... Please know what the hell you are talking about before you show your ignorance posting quotes out of context. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Did_Obama_say_in_his_boo ...
- fadetoone, on 03/03/2009, -1/+12You have to be logged in to do that.
- mojoel, on 03/03/2009, -1/+11Damn govt contractors take the time to share it but can't provide a keygen or a decent crack?
- Sean42, on 03/03/2009, -1/+11AVG flagged it with kjshfjkhsfhiuhdihisfh trojan.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD..INSTALL AT YOU OWN RISK. - TenaciousG86, on 03/03/2009, -1/+11How do you "accidentally" leak something on a P2P network? It seems that you have to physically move it to some kind of "shared" or "common" folder
also, why isn't this information encrypted? - ladyniles, on 03/03/2009, -0/+9Obviously we don't know if this has been sensationalized but if the information was classified, the contractor should be criminally charged. Anyone with access to classified information is continually briefed on the responsibilities that come with it. Having that kind of info on your personal computer is wreckless and there's no justifiable excuse for it.
- begbegbegbegbeg, on 03/03/2009, -1/+9No, but when someone being stupid shoots someone else, a majority of people blame the gun.
- inactive, on 03/03/2009, -9/+16Dupe:

http://digg.com/tech_news/Q_A_Tiversa_CEO_talks_ab ... - waydee, on 03/03/2009, -1/+8The information wasn't classified.
"The company said it had also alerted federal officials and a defence contractor about the "open window" last October.
Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said the information accessed about the aircraft - a Sikorsky VH-60 - is unclassified.
He said the VH-60 is used to carry White House staff and guests. A larger Sikorsky helicopter, the V-3, is used for the president.
Navy spokesman Lt Clayton Doss said the service was "looking into the matter".
He said that even though the helicopter data was "relatively dated", the information "should not have been made available on the internet or placed in the public domain". "
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7920638. ... - finalcloud33, on 03/03/2009, -6/+13NOTE: First off none of the information was classified it was propiretary only... All they were were archetecture drawings of the MH-60s the base of the VH-60 (one of the two presidential helicoter varents) (very high level) there, and pose little if no danger to national security. Get your facts straight.... nothing but sentaionalism.
/I work presidential helos... - archiesteel, on 03/03/2009, -0/+6mdhensley5: the book is available in libraries everywhere. Look it up, and if wiki.answers.com is erroneous, correct it yourself.
- AlienMushroom, on 03/03/2009, -2/+7Just homepaged yesterday.
- pintomp3, on 03/03/2009, -0/+5"most P2P users are thieves" "taking their stuff without paying is stealing" They may be violating the law, depending on where they live, but they are not thieves and they are not stealing. Stop equating violation of copyright law to theft of physical property.
- UselessTrivia, on 03/03/2009, -2/+7Anyone else remember how Obama was just saying that he didn't see any reason why he needed a new helicopter. Anyone else think the helicopter company got pissed and leaked info on the old one so that he'd have to buy the new one for security purposes?
It's a little tin-foil-hat...but it's a theory anyway. - theOster, on 03/03/2009, -1/+6back in the heady days of kazaa et al, i used to search for *.txt and *.doc files - i got into one guys email account AND his wells fargo account. please watch where you keep your "passwords.doc" file.
- CoD4, on 03/03/2009, -1/+6Enemy chopper inbound!!!!!!
- WhiskeyThieves, on 03/03/2009, -1/+6Obama sex tape leaked.
- GliTCH82, on 03/03/2009, -1/+6Oh, also, this is why you don't put sensitive ***** in the "My Documents" folder.
- LeanneOHare, on 03/03/2009, -0/+4You know who else was a closet Muslim? Napoleon Boneparte! Seriously, look it up.
/s
If you did look it up though, you may have found that the particular speech which is used similarly out of context to brand him so was just to pacify the Egyptians who were offended by french soldiers' unruly conduct. - inigomntoya, on 03/03/2009, -2/+6Good job everybody. Keep up the good work.
*Face palm* - d3dm, on 03/03/2009, -2/+6I've never used a P2P client, but do they really default to sharing your entire drive when you install one on your machine? That's a horrible design choice.
- GliTCH82, on 03/03/2009, -2/+6 It's official, if you use P2P you're now a terrorist. This link was brought to you courtesy of the RIAA, MPAA, and Washington lobbyists.
- MattB123, on 03/03/2009, -2/+6Depends on your objective.
Potentially horrible for the user, yeah. Good for everyone who might profit from all your personal info! - STKD, on 03/03/2009, -0/+4Increase the dosage.
- Coven, on 03/03/2009, -1/+5Unfortunately I need to read your comments to know that you're a sad individual.
- Sean42, on 03/03/2009, -1/+5Why is it always the stormtroopers fault?
how do you know that Mr Vader didn't enjoy getting jiggy with the New Kids On The Block. - inactive, on 03/03/2009, -0/+4Blaming Iran is entirely retarded in this case. It's p2p - the documents are therefore present on may computers, in many parts of the world. Sure, one of the peers might have a little iranian flag next to it in Limewire. who gives a *****?! probably some Iranian college kid studying engineering wanted some heli specs. What else is in that publicly shared folder? Porn and Anime downloads no doubt.
The issue here isn't that a node in Iran has the files, it's the the files made it onto the net. The very act of naming a country and implying anything is beyond retarded - inactive, on 03/03/2009, -0/+4Try this:

^^NSFW^^ - prodigitalson, on 03/03/2009, -0/+4Out of context troll is out of context.
- Expl0siv0, on 03/03/2009, -0/+4My question is, how in the hell was there no policy regarding P2P installs? There is no reason why any user on their network needs to have Limewire or the like.
- joleeco, on 03/03/2009, -0/+3Darn, what are we going to do now. If only we had a contingency plan to build some new helicopters in the wings. What! We do? Thank God, that was close. I guess it was pretty lucky they were working on some new ones, just in case. I can't imagine who would have wanted to leak such information. Luckily, I bought some stock in the helicopter sector before the leak came out. One man's tragedy....
- brainflakes, on 03/03/2009, -0/+3Are these definitely the real plans, or a false decoy released by the secret service?
- nbcaffeine, on 03/03/2009, -0/+3No, you put them in the "stuff" or "DONTLOOKHERE" folders, duh. Or you can bury them like 25 folders deep. I bet people give up after the first 10 subfolders!
- inactive, on 03/03/2009, -0/+3Were you under the impression they don't already?
- unclefire, on 03/03/2009, -0/+3I find it amazing that there are plenty comments above saying this isn't a big deal. It IS a big deal. Apart from the potential helicopter info, the bigger issue is the security holes users of these things expose.
- PacketScan, on 03/03/2009, -1/+4If you watched Fox news in regards to this story " *any* file on your computer is accessible when you go online" - Induce panic much?
- ebolaworld, on 03/03/2009, -1/+4@ begbegbeg - Since when?! We always blame video games.
- strictnein, on 03/03/2009, -0/+3NKOTB. Vader is a true fan.
- thetanman, on 03/03/2009, -0/+3I accidentally your classified helicopter document.
