I gotta give him the whole dose this time. My own brain starts to misfire when I don't get some of his narcs. And right now I simply cannot tell you WHERE ON EARTH THIS "50%" FIGURE COMES FROM?!? >>A successful cyberattack could cause billions of dollars >>in damage News flash: Melissa caused over $1 billion in damage in 1999. ILoveYou caused $8.75 billion in damage in 2000. Source: Michael Erbschloe, Computer Economics, Inc. The White House claims viruses cost the U.S. $12 billion in 2001. Source: Richard Clarke, the president's demoted cyberspace security advisor. >>Al Qaeda members seem especially interested in how they >>might disable the systems that provide electricity to >>California, Smith said. Oh come now, Al Qaeda already did this! Where do you think those "rolling blackouts" came from? Do you honestly expect me to believe an inept U.S. power industry repeatedly attacked voter-customers in one of the top political strongholds? >>About 90 percent of the nation's critical infrastructure is >>privately owned, and much of it remains vulnerable to >>cyberattacks Logic tells us to nationalize the critical infrastructures to shore up our national security. Nationalize the banks, nationalize Ma Bell, nationalize the power grid, nationalize the airlines (not just the baggage screeners), nationalize the water supplies, and most certainly nationalize the Internet. License those who would surf the web. Presidential hopeful John Edwards promises a PKI in every CMOS! Remove deadly terrorist cyber-weapons from schools and other weapon-free zones. No cyber-weapons allowed in coach, let alone in first class so close to the cockpit. Screw the white collars, I say! I don't want another fuselage to plummet from the sky just because some silk-tie freak wanted to watch a pirated DVD while flying to Albuquerque on company time. Al Qaeda. Albuquerque. Coincidence? I think not. So where was I? Aha... >>A June survey by the BSA showed that 74 percent of the The BSA? Oh, come now. You mean to tell me these facts & figures flowed to us from an Eagle Scout who did a high school survey for his computer security merit badge? >>Fifty-nine percent of those surveyed said they expect a >>major cyberattack Here's a clue. Round up those 59% and ship 'em off to prison as accomplices. >>call for creation of a Cyber Security Agency within the >>Homeland Security Department. Run by Richard Clarke, I hope. I can't wait for MORE thousands of Americans to die on his watch. [Au revoir, mon colonel...] Rob I have spoken. ------------------------ Yahoo!
