Say goodbye to Bush’s slimy little minion! Woo Hoo!
Bush Spokesman Ari Fleischer to Resign
Don’t let the doorknob hit you in the ass on the way out Ari!
Unlike similar previous services, Apple’s has more user-friendly options. There is no subscription necessary, customers can keep the songs indefinitely, they can burn unlimited copies of the songs onto CD’s, and, as with any Apple product, get to feel as if they are giving the finger to Bill Gates and Windows every time they use it.
Need we say any more?
This is what happens when I read books that cover security. I just finished reading Bruce Schneier and Niels Ferguson’s book, Practical Cryptography and it was wonderful. It had sections that made my brain hurt (group theory, argh) but the concepts presented were very important. It made me reconsider many of the technologies I had helped to develop at 3GI (and made me realize that much we had done was purely to fool the ignorant, not provide real security).

From the NY Times:
The cities of Chicago and Seattle will be the focus of a $16 million exercise next week to test how well the federal government would deal with simultaneous attacks by terrorists using biological and radiological weapons. The exercise, said to be the largest domestic security drill ever carried out by the federal government, will be played out over five days starting on Monday and involve dozens of federal, state and local emergency-response agencies.
OK, reading that it seems like not such a bad idea. See how people react. Prepare for the unexpected, right? Then I read this (from USA Today):
Although participants have been told when and where the simulated attacks will occur, and that they involve a radiological device and biological agent, the details remain secret to allow for some elements of surprise.
What?! Exactely what element of suprise is left? They know What, When, and Where. Will they be suprised because they get jelly beans at the command center instead of donuts?
It is wonderful to know that our governement will be fully prepared the next time that the "bad guys" send us an invitation to their attack complete with full description of the items being served.
