I'm sorry, but are you saying that you do not want people to have Wisdom, when running this country? Experience makes you wiser. Reading a book only gives you the writer's opinion. Reading a wood working magazine may show you the 10 steps to build a cabinet, but that does not mean you can tell a master cabinet maker that they are doing it wrong because you read a book.... That's what we have by Congress telling Security personnel how to secure the network and data with all the regs like FISMA and such. Thanks for the input, but allow the people with the Wisdom to do their job....

Sorta correct. They have to abide by many federal standards though, including Federal Holidays and things such as FISMA. I believe that they are also classified as government workers, or at least there were back in the 90's when my family worked for them. (They used to hire Marines and Army people as they left service and they got their government pension.)

Education does not make you smart. It just means you can memorize a lot of things. Using that knowledge is where WISDOM comes in. We need Wise people in congress to make the laws. Ones who have experienced things from the beginning. Getting a CISSP when you have only done account management does not make you an expert on physical security, compliance or legal issues around security.... Experience does. How many new managers have you met, that can barely manage themselves???

All of these agencies had to follow FISMA (among others regs). Perhaps its time to stop letting politicians tell us how to do security?

No, that's just George Michael with a monkey on his back.....

I agree completely. Now they need to add some of the classic NES and SNES games. That would be awesome..

Why would you not spend some money to implement some measure of security, if this IP was your bread and butter.......

Thought that Apple put out a Nano that could be used as a large watch years ago. Just had to get a third party band for it.

Clearly you do not come to slashdot often. 90% of the comments are mindless and / or drivel. Even so, they typically get modded as insightful.... Regardless you must not understand that "Redundant" means that the same thing has already occurred, so unless you live in the Matrix, my point was valid and someone else was mistaken. Ah, but you posted as an AC, so who cares.

How is it cutting the cord, when in 90% of the cases, you still have a cord providing internet to your house? While I get the gist of what is being said, would not "ditching the box" be a more correct phrase?

LOL, I got modded Redundant, in an original post I made. Someone does not know how to read time stamps. Oh well. (Likely it was an Apply fan boy who could not handle an iJoke)....

Wow, who modded that down? Anyone forget that a decade ago that Democrats were Pro MS in schools, Reps were pro Apple.... They wanted to ban MS since it was the devil..... ugh.

Texans will want to shoot the Apple products, that's a bit scarier. How are they going to react when Ikea sells the iGay in Texas?

On the shelf next to the Bengay? Yeah tired, going to get more iTea now. (Is that next to the TiTea?)

ugh, Knew, not new. Need more iTea.
