GGF and Grid Security

These myriad systems, and the data they contain, present juicy targets for those who want to steal, damage, corrupt, or otherwise gain unlawful access to those systems."

      Oh yes, I see that one round of sarin gas found one year after pretending there was a lot more of it was worth toppling a sovereign government, killing and maiming, torturing, sending home hundreds of our boys in bodybags, creating world-wide anti-US sentiments for 30 years, and raising the price of crude oil and the national debt to an all time high.

      Thank you for your great insight. Now, may your head fall off at an awkward moment...

      What, you mean that weapon of minor destruction that gave two bomb techs the sniffs? WMD my ass. I've caused more permanent damage by burping my colon in the office after a refried Mexican meal the night before. (I actually caused a hot and severely Christian admin to yell "what the FUCK?" when she walked through the cloud I left behind me. It all but glowed green...)

      errrr... - one old artillery shell left over from the Iran-Iraq war is WMD?

      I'm not being at all purist here, but one shell does not a program make, except in the eyes of those confused by the neocons.

      What's more important is the assasination of the leader of the Vichy Government^w^w IGC - a message to all collaborators that should, but won't, be heeded.

      As a communist godless moron, I say - fuck you, you blind stupid Amerikkkan led by the nose by your Israeli masters.

    YOU CANNOT STOP ME!

    And so, what I suggest is that you curl up with a nice bowl of one of my countrymen and enjoy a creamy pudding treat while reading a good book. I suggest that if possible, you might want to try some African-Puddingmerican. Chocolate's hard to beat in the summer heat! For the book, why not try "A Series Of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket - one of the best series I've started in years! If you're looking for a lighter read you could always try "A Beginner's Guide to Butt-Sex" by Avery Sphincter. I'm not a book reviewer, but if I was I'd start my review of Avery's book with "Consonants and vowels about poking your bowels!" I know that's not much of a review, but do you really need a detailed review of a book about putting your hoo-hoo in a girl's pooter hole? I think not.

    Remember! Vote pudding!

    How, in this day and age, does Cisco leave sensitive information like their network OS source code on a computer/grid that is accessible from the outside internet?
