Ah, we do have a fair number of "please curb your dog."

Wow, is that like the dye in swimming pools activated by pee?

Really? That's a bit odd. So the data created by the people in charge of selecting who might be the next president isn't protect by anything other than whoever they choose to hire. Sounds....secure.

According to this article, the NSA were involved. So.....my point stands.

Hmmm, wouldn't that be a big conflict of interest? I mean the political parties and PACs are non-profit 527s and 501s, having the NSA and/or the DOD provide security for them seems like it would be a bit of meddling in the political party system. Besides, both of the main parties have oodles of cash, I would think they can hire someone. Maybe the Dems can hire that guy who set up Hillary's server, I heard it was pretty secure.

I suppose it's going to become a big concern as hackers get more and more sophisticated. I thought that the NSA was sort of a bipartisan, "we protect everyone" organization? Yes, they can outsource! Because the guy who secured Hillary's emails did such a great job, right?

Fair enough, but you aren't the only one describing signs in your neighborhood.

I, for one, see a stop sign and a street sign.

Way too many stop signs. Wayyyyy too many.

At least over here we don't have billboards.

It's not a question of the partisanship of a government agency. All are supposed to be politically neutral. The issue is that they (government agencies) are not supposed to get involved with private entities. It would be like the IRS providing tax services to any US corporation. Can Ford ask the NSA to protect their IT infrastructure? Personally, I don't think Ford would want that, just as I imagine the DNC or RNC wouldn't want the NSA or any other government agency to have access to their systems.

My only point is that you criticized the NSA and DOD for the DNC hack, it is the DNC that is responsible for their own private IT security, and not a shortcoming of these agencies.

It raises a new question then.....if the NSA is not supposed to be involved with the DNC, then (assuming the article is true) why were they?

The NSA is reading this now, we are all toast. Nice knowing you all.

My one and only complaint about Canada is the overabundance of stop signs, there are far too many. The first time I was in Ontario visiting my wife I blew through a few of them because I wasn't expecting so many of them in such a short distance. It's like you just get up to speed and there's another one. I kid around with my in-laws about needing monthly brake jobs because there are so many stop signs.
