What are National Security Systems?

National security systems are information systems operated by the U.S. Government, its contractors, or agents that contain classified information or that:
* involve intelligence activities;
* involve cryptographic activities related to national security;
* involve command and control of military forces;
* involve equipment that is an integral part of a weapon or weapons system(s); or
* are critical to the direct fulfillment of military or intelligence missions (not including routine administrative and business applications).

The definition for a National Security System, along with other applicable terms used in the National Security Community, are found in CNSSI 4009, "Information Assurance Glossary"

Underrated funny right there. If I had modpoints...

Is there a problem with investigating things when the consequence is "referral of behavior to Congress that legislation should be considered to address?"

If it's not illegal, referral to the courts probably isn't a consequence. Is there anything inherently wrong with 'investigating?" (ok.. other than the use of tax payer dollars so fair question on whether or not this is how they should be spending money.. but if you want to go down that rabbit hole....)

It'll take'em a while to get it fully regulated and perfected, but the future is coming. Gone are the days of the high school student with a new license making a buck where a drone can do it cheaper. :|

Your user-agent string should provide this answer to /. pretty quickly. I'd be curious to know if the results people vote and publicly display coincides with what their browser tells the server.

For the record: Chrome OS. -- cheap, easy, and does all that I want my home computer to do with no headaches at home. (I get paid to do tech support. Until my wife starts paying for it at home, i'm staying low tech here.)

But is he technically competent? (Was he while he was employed and is he still?) There's a significant difference between being a domain admin for a number of government contractors versus being a leading security researcher. Where is Bill Schneier on the subject? What about the thousands of other extremely competent and qualified security researches throughout the world? I'd rather read their recommendations and commentary.

I'm not saying he's an idiot, but there's a difference between having the media's attention and being competent. For evidence, I'll provide most political campaigns.

As someone who lives near Bethesda -- the city in Maryland and suburb of Washington, DC -- I'll admit, this headline caught my attention. I mean, DC is already filled with a large variety of miscreants, why anyone would want to unleash even more Hounds of Hell in this region was beyond my tiny, uncaffeinated brain. Big sigh of relief when I figured out it was a video game. Though maybe if you named some of the creatures for certain personalities in the city, Bethesda and id could double down on their marketing.

Ask Bing the same question and you get the same results. But you can't flag them. Google's algorithm got hacked. Good on the Creationists for getting creative. Good on Google for having a feedback mechanism to flag it.

This headline ruined my plan for how I was going to manage doing the laundry in my household for the next 30 years. Talk about depressing on a Saturday night. At least a robot could get me a beer from the fridge.

Just to be clear, I meant Icecube as in the solitary 6 faced object of frozen water that you place in a nice glass with a sufficient pour of your favorite single malt.

Not that no talent ass clown.

Ok. Maybe he's not as bad as Michael Bolton, but I couldn't resist the Office Space reference.

Agreed. How many snipers had this guy in their sights thinking "please don't make me shoot you." The Secret Service agent at the door did their job as did the rest of the unit.

Alternatively.. maybe congress could stop cutting their budgets and allow for some extra room. I'm sure the Congress will love the idea of cutting (pick favorite target of the majority party of either wing) to boost Secret Service spending.
