True Crime

One of the frustrating things about attempting to work with the vast array of dolts and morons who clutter up the Internet Governance space -- say Milton Meuller and his band of mule heads, who think that policy begins, and ends, with Milton and his posse being able to appropriate, for their own exclusive uses, for as long has they can come up with $6/domain-name-year, the words "cherokee", "dakota", ..., or their notion of the Debbil, the trademarks lobby, who think that everyone using the DNS should disclose their home address and 3am telephone number, because they may be infringing on trademark, or the raft of goons that sails with them who've a theory of net use that reads "everyone is a pedophile until convicted of something worse".

All this stupidity means that the growth of real, organized criminality using various bugs and features of the net as we have collectively botched it, gets to run with scissors and play push-tag (pointy end facing away from self) on all the other 3rd graders during recess.

With that in mind, here's something by FrenchDoc @ Corrente, something the vast array of dolts and morons who clutter up the political blogging space won't touch, probably because they can't see the relationship between cause and effect, or because they are still selling their inventory of Lamont or Hackett or primary neutrality or network neutrality or ... "other content". Why Hillary Should be President (WHSBP) - Untold Stories.

We have a CERT because while at SRI I called the then Chief Scientist of the NSA twice, and each time told him something he didn't know -- the response to each of those two events in the civilian sector was effective and there was no response attempted in the non-civilian sector.

Yet I still have to sit through police science 1 pablum every time I sit down with someone from the Bureau on the subject of computers and crime.

Enjoy. All the way to the end, and don't forget the 'bot black economy, which, if you're using a Windows machine, two sides of a six-sided dice will tell you you're already supporting.
