Howard Schmidt Resigns As Cybersecurity Advisor
scubacuda writes "CNN and others report that former Microsoft chief of security Howard Schmidt has resigned as White House cybersecurity adviser. 'With the historic creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the transfer of many of the responsibilities from the Critical Infrastructure Protection Board and the release of the strategy, I have decided to retire after approximately 31 years of public service and return to the private sector,' Schmidt said in his April 21 e-mail."
Even sometimes I have to do it.

your pal,
you know who
Official Gentoo-Linux-Zealot translator-o-matic
.debs can be rebuilt with a handful of commands (AND Red Hat supplies i686 kernel and glibc packages), my box MUST be faster. It's nothing to do with the fact that I've disabled all startup services and I'm running BlackBox instead of GNOME or KDE."
.rpms together on the command line, and that problems hardly ever occur if one uses proper Red Hat packages instead of mixing SuSE, Mandrake and Joe's Linux packages together (which the system wasn't designed for)."
NetBSD rules! Anyway, Gentoo Linux is an interesting new distribution with some great features. Unfortunately, it has attracted a large number of clueless wannabes who absolutely MUST advocate Gentoo at every opportunity. Let's look at the language of these zealots, and find out what it really means...
"Gentoo makes me so much more productive."
"Although I can't use the box at the moment because it's compiling something, as it will be for the next five days, it gives me more time to check out the latest USE flags and potentially unstable optimisation settings."
"Gentoo is more in the spirit of open source!"
"Apart from Hello World in Pascal at school, I've never written a single program in my life or contributed to an open source project, yet staring at endless streams of GCC output whizzing by somehow helps me contribute to international freedom."
"I use Gentoo because it's more like the BSDs."
"Last month I tried to install FreeBSD on a well-supported machine, but the text-based installer scared me off. I've never used a BSD, but the guys on Slashdot say that it's l33t though, so surely I must be for using Gentoo."
"Heh, my system is soooo much faster after installing Gentoo."
"I've spent hours recompiling Fetchmail, X-Chat, gEdit and thousands of other programs which spend 99% of their time waiting for user input. Even though only the kernel and glibc make a significant difference with optimisations, and RPMs and
"...my Gentoo Linux workstation..."
"...my overclocked AMD eMachines box from PC World, and apart from the third-grade made-to-break components and dodgy fan..."
"You Red Hat guys must get sick of dependency hell..."
"I'm too stupid to understand that circular dependencies can be resolved by specifying BOTH
"All the other distros are soooo out of date."
"Constantly upgrading to the latest bleeding-edge untested software makes me more productive. Never mind the extensive testing and patching that Debian and Red Hat perform on their packages; I've just emerged the latest GNOME beta snapshot and compiled with -09 -fomit-instructions, and it only crashes once every few hours."
"Let's face it, Gentoo is the future."
"OK, so no serious business is going to even consider Gentoo in the near future, and even with proper support and QA in place, it'll still eat up far too much of a company's valuable time. But this guy I met on #animepr0n is now using it, so it must be growing!"
He says he is returning to the private sector?
The UNITED STATES is a part of the private sector too, people don't realise it. Read the senate reports for the 1871. The UNITED STATES has a corporator. These details paints a valid portraite on what our freedoms actually are...statutory freedoms of private companies hosting an illegitimate government.
Some of you are looking at this post strangely, others might actualy reply with "here is my two cents" or "with a a grain of salt", but I stand firm to my evidence of the senate report for the year 1871, which happens to be the presumed end of the Civil War and the Republic, and the creation of a contractual privileged citizenship via the 14th ammendment which is the first law ever to establish the definition of "citizen of the United States." Many of you people are probably wondering where I am going with these words still. At the time all this scandal happened, the united States of America were having difficulty finding cheap labor. The States contracted people from China, Mexico, and many other territories to do strenuous work, allthewhile they didn't want them to have the full unalienable rights and privileges that We the People enjoyed. And so, the creation of the 14th Ammendment was guised to be only towards the recently emancipated (not manumitioned) slaves, mullatos, and involuntary servants to retain status and privileges; all the while the 14th Ammendment was contractual "citizen of the United States." Also of note, the 14th Ammendment was not lawfully ratified because at the time of its unlawful ratification, military law was enforced on the southern republics and they were denies representation. If I remember correctly, twelve states in the south were held under martial law and denied a presence to vote for or against ratification of the 14th Ammendment, and in that same matter the 13th Ammendment, into their State Constitutions.
Keep in mind, the Declaration of War against the south has never been removed, the Republic flag (Civilian American flag) has been secretly removed and replaced with either the Flag of War or most noteably of all is the presence of the U.S. Army Flag in the courtrooms and everywhere to uphold the laws of Admiralty jurisdiction of the 2nd Ammendment onto all the Civilian institutions. And further, because of the treason (suspension of the Constitution) from Franklin Delano Roosevelt by passing an executive order for "state of emergency powers", the UNITED STATES (corporation) uses a combination of this state of emergency, the absence of a Declaration of Peace (for lawful end of Civil War), and the 14th Ammendment to deny unalienable rights to people that became naturalized as "citizens of the United States" and as well collect the "Public Debt" for the Internation Bankers in Switzerland that financed the Civil War and as well financed both World Wars and the finances and incorporation of the UNITED STATES LLC.
You see, you are all slaves. Corporate Soles, nonetheless, with your Person granted to you by the UNITED STATES, you are the chattel property and have statutory (revokable) rights and if you don't stop all this nonsence of needing permition to travel on public roads (Drivers License) or to marry the person you love (Marriage License), then you are all on your way to destruction. So, make your time.

heh If you liked that resignation, just imagine who they have planned to replace him.
As Vonspiracy Brother would say:
"Man, this is just another attempt at the white man trying to cover his butt by moving into the private sector so they don't have to track down everything he does like the government would. Don't be fooled my brother and sisters, the hand of the man will still be out there."
This SIG pulled due to lack of funding. (This damn war is costing too much!)
With the historic creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the transfer of many of the responsibilities from the Critical Infrastructure Protection Board and the release of the strategy, I have decided IF I EVER MEET YOU I WILL KICK YOUR ASS.
>I know they really are not doing too much for >homeland security too.
How can you say that?
Every time the govt announced a high scotch tape alert, hundreds of federal agents usually go storming into some medical marijuana patients home or center.
You know how hard it is to spin the media when taking agents of less pressing matters like the security of airports, federal buildings and various McDonalds and diverting it to those terrorists in wheelchairs?
Whenever one of those alerts is gone, ifeel safer just knowing that one of those terminally ill threats to my way of life is busted.
ANd dont you dare compare the homeland snitch program to those in totalitarian states, just because the methods are the same. When our government does it its for our own good...
