It's a little crazy how many jobs are opening up for cyber security. It totally makes sense but still the fact that they are making it public knowledge that they need cyber security professionals tells the world, we're too weak to handle what we've got, and we need some more people working on this. It's as if they are telling people, "We've got a lot of stuff that we need protected and we can't do it." So if you're a cyber attacker now's you chance to go get you some secret information, and after you've stolen that secret information, and sold it for whatever secret information is going for now-a-days you can probably go tell them that you hacked their system, and they need you in order to keep their stuff safe.

Can Wikipedia be trusted?
Elder Oaks had it right when he said information is widely available for everyone. I had to do a study on Wikipedia a couple semesters ago back when I was in English 316 where we put up articles that were only 40% accurate (or roughly to that degree). By the end of the semester the articles for the class came out to be about 98% accurate, which is oddly enough more accurate than the Encyclopedia Britannica, which tends to be around 94% accurate. I totally agree that Wikipedia shouldn't be the only source used when trying to find relevant information on a certain topic, but I don't see the problem with using it as a source to find other sources. It's being updated almost constantly, and contains a ridiculous amount of information, that for the most part, is accurate and true.
