Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)
Bruce Schneier on the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) concept in his Crypto-Gram Newsletter:
"It highlights an important characteristic of a particular sort of Internet attacker.
A conventional hacker or criminal isn't interested in any particular target. He wants a thousand credit card numbers for fraud, or to break into an account and turn it into a zombie, or whatever. Security against this sort of attacker is relative; as long as you're more secure than almost everyone else, the attackers will go after other people, not you. An APT is different; it's an attacker who -- for whatever reason -- wants to attack you. Against this sort of attacker, the absolute level of your security is what's important. It doesn't matter how secure you are compared to your peers; all that matters is whether you're secure enough to keep him out.
APT attackers are more highly motivated. They're likely to be better skilled, better funded, and more patient. They're likely to try several different avenues of attack. And they're much more likely to succeed."

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by dictatorship.
The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence
From bondage to spiritual faith
From spiritual faith to great courage
From courage to liberty
From liberty to abundance
From abundance to selfishness
From selfishness to complacency
From complacency to apathy
From apathy to dependency
From dependency back again into bondage"

The Girls' Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse: Know Your Idols
At The Girls' Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse, we have the Know Your Idols list. I knew most of them and really appreciate the old school additions like Private Benjamin. I do think Buffy should be ranked much, much higher. Buffy, River, Ripley, Sarah, and Hermione would be my top five.
I would also include Arya, Nikita, and Tam.
