Who Would Want To Be Obama's Cybersecurity Czar?
dasButcher writes "President Obama is expected to name a new cybersecurity czar sometime soon. This person will be charged with defending the digital boards from attack by hostile nation-states and terrorist organizations. But the question Larry Walsh asks is: Who really wants the job? The previous three people who held the post barely made a dent in solving the security problems. Government bureaucracy and private sector resistance make it nearly impossible to find any measure of meaningful success in this job, he writes."
Reader eatcajun contributes a related link to the long-awaited US cyberspace policy review.
"Drug" czar, Terrorism Czar, and now Cybersecurity czar. These czars seem to have a power out-of-all-proportion to any self-respecting republic and always want to infringe on personal liberties.
With Obama's record, this probably will only a RIAA/MPAA shill pushing those groups' agendas. I shiver when I think what the internet possibibly could be turned into within 10 years. (Perhaps everytime we start up a browser, that FBI copyright warning will be displayed for 30 seconds. Among other things....)
It wasn't until this that I seriously considered supporting the Pirate Party. I don't buy their message wholesale, but welcome it a whole hell lot of more than anything the government can and will do to "improve" things.
I can't wait for the edict that every single government owned computer must be running a recently patched install of OpenBSD. Yeah he's not really American but apparently he's enough of an ass that everyone will assume he is.
While corporate lobbyists dictate the infrastructure, it's gonna be a Windows backbone. Nobody can make that secure. While this situation remains, the position is a no win one.
Heh, I take it you don't watch American news, at least you haven't at any time during the past ten years. Remember the American invasion of Iraq? The destruction of Katrina?
Etc. - my point being that, during that time, pretty much everyone in the Bush presidency got a free ride. The media basically said 'aww shucks, wull I guess he just gosh darned tried his best, and that's what counts, right?'
In contrast, the scrutinty and out-for-blood nature of most of the news coverage of the Obama campaign since it began has been absolutely viciously hostile.
So what was your point again?
GNAA confirms it: Gamito is dead.
Mario Gamito, a well known attention whore in the blogsphere community who has been struggling for ages to get his books about self-sodomizing with hi-tech gadgets from Apple sold in any store.
After bloging about pictures of him having backdoor fun with GNAA member JacksonBrown, Gamito was banned from a popular portuguese blog aggregator P*. This led to the mass suicide of an estimated 16% of the Portuguese gay nigger population. This is believed to be the single most damaging factor since jews did wtc.
This event led Gamito to join an yaoi oriented cosplay group and create his own blog aggregator, PlanetGeek.
Gamito, dying of AIDS anyway, promptly committed suicide in a bid to save the remaining traumatized population. His death, thankfully, signifies the death of PlanetGeek, they both will be missed.

I'm a huge fan of this administration but in this particular case I think the private sector could do a much better job protecting against threats than any Czar. Besides, I hate anyone who's title has a C followed by a Z in it, that's just not right. Drop the "c" or just say: "KaZaar!".
is the cyberczar going to declare a "WAR ON BLOGS"?
Only "right-wing extremist" ones.
Because that would be "fair".
Let's see, Obama pushed auto companies into bankruptcy and shutters dealerships owned by anyone who donated to his political opponents. The DoJ is pursuing charges against Obama supporters caught suppressing votes on video and Obama's appointees force career lawyers to drop charges.
Looks like Orwell only missed by 25 years.
