NYT has a good article on ChoicePoint and the reforms they've made since they got scammed by some Nigerians. My favorite part? When Chris channels Rummy for his quote:

It also took a state law. The data thieves who conned their way into ChoicePoint's system downloaded information about at least 166,000 individuals. In years past, the company would alert law enforcement officials when it suffered a data breach, according to Mr. Lee, and leave it at that. But under a California disclosure law passed in 2003, the company was required to notify every Californian whose personal details might have fallen into criminal hands.

"No one knows for sure, and no one can say, how many breaches occurred before California," Mr. Hoofnagle said. "This is an 'known unknown,' as Donald Rumsfeld would say."

Long after Rummy is gone we'll still treasure his unique lexicon.

And because I laughed my ass off at it this weekend, enjoy the 20 funniest pictures, from Fark. I kind of like Invisible Sandwich the best, and I don't even like cats that much.
