Please CITE ONE TIME where I said anything about Wagoner deserving bonuses - Post anything to corroborate another of tw's blatant LIES. If not post an public apology and correction on the board. I have put up with you and your attacks for too long. It stops now. Either make your point with facts or STFU.
Its been over a week - no cite, no retraction.

Nice grammar there big boy - lol

Oh and that proves yet again that tw attacks the poster, not the post.
Yet again another contradiction of tw's. How typical.

Yeh, thats what he wants though. So his drivel can go unchallenged. I guess I'll again have to take the high road and not get drawn into his petty crap.

Note: tw has not substantiated his lie nor retracted his post.
Goes to show a lot about his character.

The cost of going digital? And they want to put all our medical records in a central digital format?

Some one want our place in the World Order:

Electricity Grid in U.S. Penetrated By Spies

Quote:
WASHINGTON -- Cyberspies have penetrated the U.S. electrical grid and left behind software programs that could be used to disrupt the system, according to current and former national-security officials.

The spies came from China, Russia and other countries, these officials said, and were believed to be on a mission to navigate the U.S. electrical system and its controls. The intruders haven't sought to damage the power grid or other key infrastructure, but officials warned they could try during a crisis or war.

"The Chinese have attempted to map our infrastructure, such as the electrical grid," said a senior intelligence official. "So have the Russians."

The espionage appeared pervasive across the U.S. and doesn't target a particular company or region, said a former Department of Homeland Security official. "There are intrusions, and they are growing," the former official said, referring to electrical systems. "There were a lot last year."

Many of the intrusions were detected not by the companies in charge of the infrastructure but by U.S. intelligence agencies, officials said. Intelligence officials worry about cyber attackers taking control of electrical facilities, a nuclear power plant or financial networks via the Internet.

Authorities investigating the intrusions have found software tools left behind that could be used to destroy infrastructure components, the senior intelligence official said. He added, "If we go to war with them, they will try to turn them on."

Officials said water, sewage and other infrastructure systems also were at risk.

Ha.

The U.S. electrical grid comprises three separate electric networks, covering the East, the West and Texas.
Ha, ha, ha. Because Texas is it's own region of the US.

What do you suggest?

Not making significant investment in a national broadband network and infrastructure, while the rest of the industrialized world is more aggressively moving ahead with such plans?

Any smart terrorist or opposing country that really wants to attack the United States might do something with this.

Chavez in China Touts
'New World Order'


Quote:
BEIJING --Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said his two-day visit to Beijing this week is part of the creation of a "new world order."

The frequent U.S. critic told reporters that power in the world is shifting from America to countries such as Iran, Japan and China.

"We are creating a new world, a balanced world. A new world order, a multipolar world," Mr. Chavez said on arriving in China the evening before a scheduled Wednesday meeting with China's president and Communist Party leader Hu Jintao.

"The unipolar world has collapsed. The power of the U.S. empire has collapsed," he said. "Everyday, the new poles of world power are becoming stronger. Beijing, Tokyo, Tehran .. It's moving toward the East and toward the South."

Mr. Chavez has made Beijing a frequent stop in his global travels to promote his agenda of anti-American world unity, stopping in the Chinese capital no less than six times since rising to power in 1998 elections.

His visit follows a sweep through the Middle East last week, including a stop in Iran where he said that he has little hope of better relations with Washington under President Barack Obama because the United States was still acting like an "empire" in his eyes.
Gotta watch yer back too.

MAYBE we need to develop a better operating system that isn't so easily hacked.

I wonder... Do these same issues happen in Europe and Autralia and other countries, with viruses and hackers and phishers? Do they use different software in other countries?

Oh, nice going... now you've gone and told them.
If the terrorists do this, I'm gonna kick your traitorous ass.

I always thought that blackout that occured shortly after 911 was a cyber attack.

And the oil rigs catching fire.
