funny you should mention that...in our local paper this morning was a
copy of a new york times/chicago tribune article titled: "Clinton
proposes cyberspace corps to battle hackers." it goes on to say that
a large fund of money will be tentatively funded in fiscal year 2001
(~91 million of a ~2 billion package to fund computer security
efforts) to scale up training and research into computer
security...which the paper says had been "...scaled back amid
criticism and privacy concerns."
not sure if the full article is on the web, but if anyone is
interested and it is NOT on the web, write me privately and i'll key
it in.
