I'm always amazed that a country which refuses to properly educate its people in math and science is able to pull off technological feats such as jamming GPS and distributing malware.
That is interesting, I was under the impression the North keeps up education for a decent amount of its people. I thought they were one of those countries that forced its people into engineering and science as a facet of its national security policy.
Neither of which is very difficult. Most likely they didn't write the malware - most malware distributors don't. And narrow spectrum GPS jamming is pretty straightforward (and not very useful unless your goal is to annoy civilians).
On to more complex things... how many medium range ballistic missile tests have they failed? They've been trying to extend seventy year old German technology (by way of Russia and China) for decades now without much success. That's not very impressive, IMO.
