... that October is not just National Coming Out Month but also Cybersecurity Awareness Month? Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, in an attempt to commemorate the latter, stopped by the Cyber Crimes Center in suburban Virginia this week. The 12-year-old center, known as C3, mostly combats online child pornography, but also money laundering, arms trafficking and fraud. C3 also buys a lot of video games, because apparently Play Station 3s have a great capacity "for mathematical calculations and generating numbers, which makes them cost-efficient password-breakers". The game consoles are connected to servers called "decryption silos". In perhaps unrelated news Joy Behar wonders if Secretary Napolitano is gay, to which sex columnist Dan Savage answers "I haven't slept with her."
