Feds Now Allowed To Use Internet
fast66 writes "Nextgov reports that a new court order allows the Department of the Interior to connect to the Internet, six years after the federal agency was ordered to disconnect. District Judge James Robertson wrote in his ruling, 'I find that the consent order is of no further use and must be vacated.' 'The ... disconnected offices and bureaus may be connected.' He added that his ruling was based not on evidence but 'on a legal conclusion that it is not my role to weigh IT security risks.'"
so they now can watch the pr0n and play online games instead of the ubiquitous solitaire. big deal, yeah, most certainly news worthy.
No, I didn't suggest that. But I would like to say that I am not an Indian and at least a proper name would be ok. It's not like I'm asking that you address me as an Apache. We took your stupid names and integrated into your shitty culture regardless of what we wanted. You could at least have the respect to properly identify me. It's not some misnomer like "african american", because that is in fact racist, thinking that all black floks come from africa... And to call me a native american wouldn't be a PC name, it would be a correct one. And I know what the BIA does and it consists of mostly nothing and some bureacracies that do nothing but wrap red tape around things. I'm not worried though, because its only a matter of time before you white folks do yourself in. Your whole culture is based on self destruction or the destruction of other people.
Further making my point. As it turns out the (skeptical of govenrment) judge who initially ruled against the DOI was a Reagan appointee and the (trusting of government) Judge that now rules for them is a Clinton appointee. it's not surprising since that's exactly what one would expect given the ideological bent you would suppose given who appointed them.
