The post to which I was responding suggested that the "one percenters" were protecting the NASA network. My response was that the one percenters would be the scientists, working on space projects, not the IT people protecting the network. Not that NASA wouldn't have good or even great IT people, but geniuses work on space physics. They *don't* do the grunt work of securing networks.
I think there might be a little confusion about those "one percenters". Whoever said that a "one percenter" in astrophysics is also a "one percenter" in IT security? Couldn't it e that they have the very best for both of the jobs without any overlapping? Florian Streck -- Today is National Existential Ennui Awareness Day.
