Governator Kills Data Protection Law
eweekhickins writes "The Governator has killed a recent data protection law in California, and it won't be back. Using a tried-and-true argument, that the bill would have 'driven up the costs of compliance, particularly for small businesses,' California Governor Arnold Schwartzenneger vetoed what some are calling one of the nation's most stringent proposed e-tail data breach security laws."
Personally I think Governator is brilliant.
One another related point, there is no way he would have got elected as an European with his original name if he hadn't been a rich famous movie star. So referring to him in a way that reminds people WHY he was famous in the first point is actually useful in this case.
For those who still have not remembered, he was originally famous for being a body builder who probably has taken more steroids than I have had hot dinners and then starred in loads of vaguely amusing action movies where no acting talent or intelligence was required. He had still barely learned to speak English after living and working here for years, and that was with a small fortune behind him by the end of his Hollywood career.
So no, we are not in 6th Grade, but you would never know it judging be who we elect to make decisions for us sometimes.
(Disclaimer - I cannot remember who he was running against but it would not surprise me if some or all of them were worse.)
