Judge Disconnects Interior Dept., Again
jeremycec writes "Evidently, nothing's been resolved since 2001, when this
happened the first
time. In these Memorandum
Opinion and Preliminary
Injunction documents from Judge Royce
C. Lamberth of the U.S.
District Court for Washington, D.C., we see how the court
stepped in to pull the plug on a system, which, through its
abject lack of due care,
left someone's important financial information wide open to
attackers. According to the former CIO of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs: 'For all practical purposes, we have no
security, we have no infrastructure, ... Our entire network
has no firewalls on it. I don't like running a network that
can be breached by a high school kid.' So, when the BIA
could get no relief through Interior's IT Dept.,
it went to the courts. Source: Government Computer News "
Just goes to show you that the only thing that the Dept. of Interior sees is the inside of their ass.

Oh Lord wont you carry me back I'm just out stealin' his cad......
The interior dept of the US has been screwing Native North Americans for a long time, what makes you think they will change now! If the Interior Dept dosn't finish the job with resevations and keep em stupid tactics maybe Microsofts software will.
OH THE SHAME I fell off the wagon and use sigs again!
yeah, they [the BIA] put the kabosh on polygamy in Native American tribes too. Damn them! :)
