obama proposes federalizing all of computer security... http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/The-Proposed-Federalization-of-the-Computer-Security-Field-297694/?kc=EWKNLSTE04072009STR1 I work in computer security, this would give the govt unprecedented access to being able to spy on us...
Guys, they are not spying. They are just ensuring that you will make all the right decisions by making them for you. What's wrong with that? This guy isn't that far from truly making me panic and go all Jeremiah Johnson. It is like that Chinese curse... "May you live in interesting times."
I'm at an IT trade show event in Vegas this week, and a big part of one of our sessions were what parts of the bail out plan pertain to this industry. A HUGE portion of the IT spending that will occur and is funded by this plan will be applied to building systems that will allow electronic tracking of healthcare records. The second I heard this, it was pretty obvious that this is the foundation of them being able to gain better control of healthcare as well. The amount of $$$ being applied to this is mind boggling......
Lol, sorry man, it was just a link to the HNI Politics Forum. You're gonna have to get a new computer, I'm sure Elle-Bee-Are would love to see ya back over there
