To boil it down to one quote:

On: Pentagon Says Cyberattacks Can Count As Act of War

From TFA

"If you shut down our power grid, maybe we will put a missile down one of your smokestacks," said a military official.

What about FY2012?

On: Feds Prep For E-Gov Shutdown

If lawmakers can't agree to a budget for the time period starting 7 MONTHS AGO, how are they going to get a FY2012 budget done?

Federal managers aren't spending more than the Continuing Resolution levels, and should be saving some money in case of cuts. Funding them over the CR level would just lead to waste spending in the 'use it or lose it' model (They have until September to spend it all).

They need to pass a status quo budget for FY2011, and get started on FY2012. That is where the problem lies, and where a solution can take place.

I was going to say the exact same thing. Good show, excellent use of the monocle.

Re:Two-Factor

On: Comodo Says Two More RAs Compromised

I wouldn't trust them to quickly roll out a RSA product. With the speed, they are going to leave some holes open, and with the back-end source code probably out in the wild, it may just make the problem worse. (The source code is only going to hurt shoddy implementations of the RSA Server. People do shoddy work under time pressure).

Good Job FBI

I'll admit it- I misread it as "driver's license", but all that means is that he can't use a VW Beetle at the speed of light. He'll have to use the bus.

What next?

Re:Congress will put a stop to this.

On: US Military Commissions Sock Puppet Program

That depends... A passed budget would be nice. I honestly don't think that a FY2011 budget will ever happen (It will just stay at Continuing Resolutions until the FY12 budget gets hashed out). Power of the purse is the best way for the congress to reign in the programs it doesn't like. (campaign donations don't seem to hurt what gets chopped/saved either)
