Feds Move to Secure Net

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can-i-have-a-static-ip? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "eWeek reports:The Cyber Warning Information Network, a key part of the Bush administration's National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, will use a secure, private IP network separate from the public Internet, according to officials. The government currently has seven nodes running, said Marcus Sachs, director of communications infrastructure protection at the Office of Cyberspace Security, in Washington."

    The people running the Internet can do just fine at securing the net themselves, thank you, without a bunch of gubmint employees mucking shit up, hyping up threats, and expanding their budgets and fiefdoms.

    If you're a government employee, you're a parasite on the taxpayers of the private sector. If fuckers like you were forced off your dead asses and out into the streets to compete, maybe taxes and government red tape would ease up so this country could be competitive again in the global marketplace.
