One of the more interesting jobs I've ever heard of, IBM pays one of it's employees to sneak into companies to physically break into their computers. It's sorta like in the movie Sneakers. Apparently it's pretty easy to do and out of 40 tries the guy has only failed once to get in.
Well the USA
PATRIOT act was put into law on Friday. The lone dissenting opinion in the
Senate was Senator Russ Feingold who
wrote a good speech on why he voted
against it. It brings up a lot of good points about the civil liberties
violations this law brings. If you subscribe to Salon Premium, they also have a
good article<
/A> about the vote. And speaking of how easily basic rights can be violated, a
free lance
journalist doing a story on the increased airport security measures was
detained for 3 hours and kicked off his flight for taking some pictures and
writing some notes down. The world really has changed since September 11th, and
I'm not liking where it's going.
