Obama To Name Melissa Hathaway Cybersecurity Chief
hargrand writes "President Obama has found the cyber tsar to head his new White House office of cybersecurity.
According to US press reports this morning, an announcement expected later today will confirm Melissa Hathaway is to come in as cyber chief, after being cyber coordination executive for the director of national intelligence."
If she's related to Ann Hathaway, she's got my support..
MABASPLOOM!
Or is there something you know about Melissa that we don't?
Her parents were stranded on a tropical island you insensitive clod.
How we know is more important than what we know.
How many cyber/cyborg tsars/chiefs/secretaries do we have now?
"Miss Hathaway, can you come into my office for a moment...?"
She'll need to wear spiked heeled boots and a leather corset.
I think I have issues.

If she can somehow become the poster girl for geeky women and bring more of those into our line of work to lighten up the workplace, that'll be awesome. Now that's progress my friends.
Would you call it ... "Change you can incessantly masturbate to"?
Is it a generational thing? Does it have something to do with Lawnmower Man?
There are a lot of issues that have to do with Lawnmower Man.
Fear of the word "cyber" is just one. :P

Honestly Cyber is charged word
No, they can't. If I have to deal with one more idiot (in Starbucks or otherwise) who doesn't know how to foam milk properly, I'm going to get arrested.
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
Obama names another cyber post... despite poor economy.
'a';DROP TABLE users; SELECT * FROM DATA WHERE name LIKE '%'... if you're reading this, it didn't work.
but but they invented the word
Melissa... Melissa... Cyber security... Now, where exactly did I hear that name?
Neither. Cyber-Dominatrix.
She'll need to wear spiked heeled boots and a leather corset.
I think I have issues.
Mod -1 Creepy?
yea... that's not her. that's Faith Hill. why the hell would the chairwoman of the National Cyber Study Group be in a publicity photo with Tim McGraw?
"I think I have issues."
If she's hawt you do not have issues.
If she looks like Janet Reno you have issues.
If she looks like Janet Reno and dresses per your description, post pics because you are not alone.
"This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
I think it's less trolling, and just a reasonable expectation taking into account past history (from the past 3 weeks) that she will either a) have a Tax issue or b) have lobbying (or lobby-like) ties to the industry she will be regulating. As Cyber-Security Czar is unlikely to regulate an industry, that leaves us with a).
Or c) runs a botnet.
Just sayin'...
