Office of Hateful Security
It's hardly surprising that the Office of Hateful Security can't tell a server from a client. After all, they can't tell a terrorist from a little old lady. Still, I found this highly amusing.

At least it's an improvement over last year. The federal government?s overall grade on cybersecurity rose over the past year, from an F in 2002 to a D in 2003, according to the latest Federal Computer Security Report Card. This is the fourth year in a row that many federal agencies have received poor grades for failing to secure their computer networks. Eight of them received a grade of F, among them the Department of Homeland Security -- which was apparently too busy working out the bugs in its Total Information Awareness System to bother securing its own network. As one might imagine, the subcommittee that prepared the report card was horrified by the low grades. "It is disturbing that 19 of the agencies are still out of line," said Rep. Adam Putnam, R-Fla.. "I don't underestimate the challenge, but the fact of the matter is they need to do it. ... Some folks have proved it can be done, and not just small agencies."
