POPSFederal Web sites knocked out by cyber attack The feds need to admit that this is a devastating problem for them and they do not have the internal skills, nor do the beltway bandits and most other contractors. They need to go out and get the true professional white hats and solid cyber security firms to help deal with this head-on. To compete with the people who have these skills the US Government needs to hire the best of the best (much like they have top gun schools). We have lots of military hardware and military might, but we severly lack the skills the enemy of the future - that of the cyber realm.

POPSFederal Authority Over the Internet? The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 WHOOOA! This has to be protested big time. If this is permitted to happen we are all royally screwed, since the Internet is the Mass Communications structure of this era. The government used to be able to block radio &TV (probably still can and would) but right now it is not possible to close down the loop and voice of the Internet so easily. Unless this happens and we cannot let this happen. EFF is right, this is very dangerous. Hopefully people start organizing now and figuring ways to setup P2P and Mesh systems that can perhaps bypass the normal Internet and circumvent any blocks the government (any government) that is put into place.

POPSRumsfeld tells war critics to 'back off' What an Asshole! I like how he can be care free at spending our tax dollars. "You ought to just back off, take a look at it, relax, understand that it's complicated, it's difficult," Rumsfeld said regarding deadlines. "Honorable people are working on these things together. There isn't any daylight between them." "Rumsfeld also said the U.S. is considering whether it should speed up money planned for recruiting, training and equipping Iraqi security forces. Officials have said training Iraqis to take over security is key to withdrawing U.S. and other coalition forces."

POPSIsraeli-Style Air Security, Costly and Intrusive, May Head West "`It can't just be technology,'' says Gerry Leone, the former U.S. prosecutor who handled the 2002 case in Boston against ``shoe bomber'' Richard Reid. ``There have to be observations made and people who are well-trained to know what combinations of things should lead to increased scrutiny.'' "Opponents including Muslim groups and the American Civil Liberties Union are wary of expanding government powers or opening the door to racial profiling, while airlines want to avoid significant delays and higher costs. Also, some El Al measures may not work on a larger scale. "

POPSMMO games face security risk "The police are really good at understanding someone stole my credit card and ran up a lot of money. It's a lot harder to get them to buy into 'someone stole my magic sword."'
