3 strikes - Interior Department ordered offline again

The US Department of Interior was ordered to disconnect most, but
not all, Internet connections.  They don't have to disconnect their
modems, private networks, or other agency networks.

This is the third time the court has ordered the Interior Department
to disconnect some or all of their systems.

The court's order is interesting reading

Although the judge is clearly frustrated with Interior's behaivor
to date, there are practical limits on what a professional can
say.  An architect can only swear she designed a building to meet
applicable codes, not that the building will never fall down.
