A little gambling is fine. I have a clearance, and many of my coworkers gamble on occasion. A gambling addiction, OTOH, is a problem. It opens you up to bribery or blackmail. Someone with a serious gambling problem and mountains of debt could more easily be persuaded to divulge secrets if someone offered to clear up the debt.

Really? This is what takes the cake? The dupes, slashvertisements, missing or dead links, dupes, obvious grammar and spelling mistakes, dupes, pointless articles like how to re-open tabs, and lest we all forget, the dupes. But citing an article that uses apartment blocks as a reference is what does it for you?

Comment Re:NSA != cybersecurity (Score 2) 81

No one has that responsibility. US Cybercom doesn't have it, nor does DHS. It's a known gap in our defensive posture. US businesses have resisted any attempts from the gov to regulate their cyber security. No one wants the gummint coming in and telling them how to set up and maintain their networks. And critical infrastructure, like power and other utilities, have likewise resisted any attempts at regulation, even though they are all hooked up to the internet with little thought to security. So, the current situation is we have little cyber security as a nation, and no one is responsible for it.
