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 "
If you want to keep data hidden from an indian, just hide it in his work boots.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
These days, any high school kid is capable of hacking any system that's hackable... Remember, if someone really wants your data, they are going to steal it anyway.
Just goes to show you that the only thing that the Dept. of Interior sees is the inside of their ass.
"Stupidity is like neclear energy; it can be used for good or evil, and you don't want any on you."
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!
You, sir, are the biggest loser I've witnessed to date on Slashdot. No one gives a fuck what your Karma is. No one counts each and every mod point they receive. I know you're a n00b (I don't care how long you think you've been reading, your UID is high and your karma-whorries prove you signed up as soon as you found the site), but please, take this little RPG fantasy you have going and build your own website with it.
Seriously, I'll take ten links to goatse before I'll listen to your "look at THIS +5 Insightful comment, and this OTHER comment, rated +1 Insightful, +2 Informative (every troll's dream moderation), +17 Underrated, Karma Bonus +5 (I have excellent Karma everyone!!!11), Friend-of-myself Modifier +5, and My-only-fan Modifier +3" bullshit. Thank you....oh, and you used that semi-colon incorrectly after people.
yeah, they [the BIA] put the kabosh on polygamy in Native American tribes too. Damn them! :)
