I was there at the birth of the internet, at least the one we all have access to. I used AOL when they first started as something besides a service for Apple owners only (yes, they bucked the trend very early and people got filthy rich because of it). Many people don’t realize that AOL’s first interface

The first month of 2012 has been bleak. The Internet has come under attack from the American government, the slack-jawed cabal of mainstream entertainment companies, and the scat-eating vermin known as the MPAA. The so-called "economic recovery" is more stagnant than pond water, even while it's being made to look rosier than it is by Capitol Hill press agents, media hand-job manipulation artists, and the creative accounting of companies that continue to la

In the Department of Defense’s 8570.1 Directive’s vernacular, it is one of the approved certifications for the IAT Level II designation. Security+ is super hot these days, and for good reason.
