Pentagon Confirms Cyber Command, Under NSA Control 120
eldavojohn writes "The Pentagon's been planning a cyber command for a while now but it's just been confirmed. The Pentagon will set up a Cyber Command outfit most likely around — surprise surprise — Fort George G. Meade in Maryland. From the article, 'The head of the Cyber Command would also be the director of the U.S. National Security Agency, which conducts electronic surveillance and communications interception and is also based at Fort Meade.' The Air Force has been no stranger to digital warfare."

Impossible.
I live near DC, and carry a balance on my Citibank Visa card. At these interest rates, they won't let anything happen to me. The nation's capital is safe. As long as you don't ride the Metro, anyway.

I can't walk away from a commitment like that.
No, you will literally be blown away from that commitment. But then said apartment won't exist anymore anyway so what's to worry?

we're in an "end of human civilization as we know it" scenario.
I like the way you consider all of human civilization to include the northern hemisphere. We here down south would probably be just fine. Actually a bit of cool weather would be a nice change. That way we could chill out as we watch the giant man eating parrots mutate into being in our jungles.

cockroaches will survive a nuclear war. I'd like to see a cockroach try to cross the beltway.
So your saying most of Congress will survive? (Sorry, just had to throw that in).
