It seems it is more serious than previously thought (the following according to the BBC website)
A massive ransomware campaign appears to have infected a number of organisations around the world.
Screenshots of a well known program that locks computers and demands a payment in Bitcoin have been shared online by parties claiming to be affected.
There have been reports of infections in the UK, US, China, Russia, Spain, Italy, Vietnam, Taiwan and others.
Security researchers are linking the incidents together.

WW II actually did look a lot like WW I. The 1918 actions were basically the same things you got in all of WW II, but with less sophisticated gear.
On top of that, you had the same actors on mostly the same sides using very similar equipment, some of it even exactly the same.

WWI was largely characterized by trench warfare and was started as result of 18th-19th century politics and empires. The biggest technological shift was the machine gun. Armies were still conducting large scale cavalry raids.
WWII resulted from nationalism resulting from the collapsed of various European empires and saw for the first time (other than the Spanish Civil War) the widespread use of aircraft to level cities. It also ended with in nuclear warfare.
WWII was nothing like WWI.

The cause of the war is not what we are discussing. We are discussing the way in which it was fought. The later stages of the war were absolutely like World War II, especially once the Germans started deploying stormtroopers. The Hundred Day Offensive was very much like a World War II action, with full coordinated combined arms engagements.
You have only an elementary understanding of the war if you think it was just trenches and stupid cavalry actions. I recommend listening to Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History podcast on the subject.
"DipodomysDeserti" (dipodomysdeserti)
05/13/2017 at 10:43, STARS: 0
Firstly, Dan Carlin is just a radio host. He’s not a historian and holds no degrees on the subject. While he is entertaining, he is not a good source for historical knowledge. Just because I don’t agree with you doesn’t mean I don’t know what I’m talking about.
While the battles of the Hundred Day Offensive broke the trench based stalemate seen throughout the war, they were all still very much examples of 2nd generation warfare, and thus nothing like the 3rd generation warfare seen in WWII.
Saying they’re similar because they used “full coordinated combined arms engagements” is laughable, as armies have done this since antiquity and shows a lack of knowedge in regards to the history of warfare.
"Axial" (axial)
05/13/2017 at 15:40, STARS: 0
Dan Carlin is indeed a radio host, and he never claimed to be a historian, but he does use and cite the works of many historians in his presentation. If you want a concentrated dose of knowledge on World War I, it’s a very solid source. You can always follow up on your own if something specific intrigues you.
Also, it’s which arms were combined and the specific ways in which they were combined. The technologies and techniques developed for and deployed during the Hundred Days Offensive (and indeed, some as early as 1916) were the same ones that would be deployed over 20 years later, made more lethal by the greater proliferation of radio coordination and generally superior equipment. Also practice. That isn’t a fundamental shift, and to claim otherwise is missing the forest for the trees. It really doesn’t matter at all if we’re talking about T.F.1s, FT17s, and Lewis Guns in 1918 versus P47s, Shermans, and M1918 BARs in 1944...or even A10s, M1A1s, and M249 SAWs today; the concepts behind them and their usage is the same. Excepting the strategic effect of nuclear threat, there has been no core change to the way wars are fought and the available pieces are used in the last century or so. Even computers and satellites are little more than force multipliers augmenting tactics first developed and deployed in WW I. That is the entire reason why WW I is such an important point in the history of warfare.
So, the only thing laughable here is your ability to put the system together; I shouldn’t have to spell any of this out for you...unless you really don’t know what you are talking about. Certainly, a good portion of WW I did not look like WW II. The last part of it most definitely did, to an uncanny degree.

It is pretty clear you are wholly unfamiliar with the generations of warfare which makes this convo pretty pointless. If your really interested in the history of warfare I would highly recommend researching the subject. Also check out Brave New War which gives a decent summary but mostly focuses on fourth generation warfare.
Practice has been the main driving force behind the shifts from 2nd to 3rd and now to 4th generation warfare.
As you stated WWI was important because it showed militaries that their tactics had to change. Those changes were first experimented with by the Germans during the Spanish Civil War (the first use of the blitz) and then put into wide spread practice in WWII. The armies that continued the techniques of WWI (the Poles) quickly found that the old strategies wouldn’t work. WWII ended with urban and nuclear warfare. It was nothing like WWI.

I am not unfamiliar with it, I just recognize it to be a fundamentally flawed framework to work within. It swaps from using technological impetus to define break points in how peer states fought each other to an explaining the economical reasons of why and how a lesser power fights a greater one. It’s a non-like comparison and invalid. And even the first three generations are ascribing the generational gap to changes in the technology and how they either enable or shelve tactical applications that have been around since antiquity rather than how they transformed the requirements for war to be conducted between peer-states. That is to say, the cost of peer states waging total war is what has changed, driven by the development of gunpowder, breach-loading rifles, high explosives, automatic weapons, aircraft, and what we would today call weapons of mass destruction (i.e. nuclear weapons, biological weapons). There has been nothing so fundamentally new since the changes caused by the introduction of WMDs, except perhaps the internet. We have yet to see what changes the internet will truly have.
At any rate, you are using even that flawed framework too rigidly. The very things used to define third generation were developed and deployed during WW I, especially in 1918, which is the root of my comment. Urban warfare was present in WW I, making it a very weak point to use as a delineator; it would have gone into Paris or Berlin beyond a shadow of a doubt had either side gotten that far. The aerial bombing of cities that was a major hallmark of WW II would have also been conducted had the aircraft at the time been capable. The Germans did try it with Zeppelins, but hadn’t really refined the idea into attacking logistical infrastructure rather than morale (not that some WW II bombings weren’t also expressly conducted to attack morale, mind you) and the payloads were pitiful. But, what matters is that they were aware of the tactics and deploying them, not that they had refined it to a science yet. Nuclear warfare is the only real marker of generational change in WW II, and you could maybe argue that it makes WW II stand apart. But, from where I sit, it was merely the signal to end the conflict rather than a way of fighting that defined a significant portion of that war and, indeed, there was plenty of action in WWII that bore more than a passing resemblance to action in mid-late WWI.
