1st: IANAL, but need one to interpret this,
We all know the NSA is splitting and filtering the backbone in the CO's courtesy of the Patriot Act,
but my recent browsing of this article: http://www.justice.gov/criminal/cybercrime/docs/ccmanual.pdf
Does this suggest that the NSA is in violation of the CFAA?
and did the US attorneys involved with Aaron Swartz's prosecution ever read this ? or the Bill of Rights?

NSA, TSA, DHS, DEA, ICE, all totally out of control, individual fiefdoms, all with political aspirations...
just my 2 cents, same as my paycheck.

You are my "internet newspaper"!
Gannet's got nothing.
And isc.incidents.org, my 1st 2 stops everyday.....
Can't say how long its been, 1999?
keep it alive!

do these units meet EPA and Federal Noise limits?
Is there radar signature large enough so that FAA radar can see them?
these are the questions that have legal "teeth",that can be used against their use by civilian authorities.
just another abuse of the constitution....

so,this machine needs to get wiped? right?
open up your spam box, start clicking everything you can find till this windows box seizes up, then tell IT as you leave, "hey, my machine has been "funny" today,might want to scan it".
They will check it, nuke it, done deal....

Since they aren’t informing the Vendor so it can get patched,
Are they going to take responsibility when it does get into the wild?
Oh, we‘re big security company, we’re secure!
  Yeah right!
Show me a boat that doesn’t leak!

I love the part of the pdf that says,
"If someone demands a password, refer him or her to this document or have him or her call someone in Information Security."

As we all know, a majority of the hacks/spam out there arrive to us via .CN,
I'm sure someone in the US would fund Google to write some code to put .CN on another planet... .CN may be a large market, but who wants to fish in a pond full of inedible fish?
   

Go ahead, hire them as independant contractors, or long term temporary employees,pick a "term".
Remember,the wages you pay reflect how much you are buying.
Are you paying "from the neck down"?
Or do do you want some "brainpower " to go with it?
You only get what you are paying for...

This is insane,isn't this the job of a sysadmin,protect the password?
Above all else,protect the password.
Just because his managerial superior demands the password,do you hand it over?
Do you give the keys to your 6000 lb. Hummer to a 9 year old because he demands them?

Everyone needs to read this,most aren't old enough to remember it,but the man said alot of things that are now coming true, http://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu/~hst306/documents/indust.html I saw a bumper sticker recently,it said "Flip this house", it was a picture of the White House. I think it is time to fire all our representitives and hire new ones, maybe then we will be able to see the "true puppeteers" that are running our country.

Use a black felt pen,blot out the lens,and you can always use a little alcohol to clean it off.

Guys,it's Windows, when in doubt,Reboot!
