Ruh-Roh: USAF & M$FT Make Network Security Deal

Recommended Posts

So the people in charge of our most powerful weapons are trusting their systems to people who can't competantly design an e-mail program, let alone an OS?

Yeah, I feel safer, too.

Well, we survived 4 years with a CinC who can't even pronounce the name of those weapons.

I'm quasi-familiar with some of high-view goals of this program. The MSFT role, believe it is kinda small ($500M over six years...). There are other defense contractors involved as well (General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, etc) who actually work internally along with USAF personnel.

I only know that because I sold some of training to personnel at Edwards AFB last year.
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Neither could Carter, yet nobody ridicules him. Perhaps it's because the rest of the things Carter has said and done are worth much more in terms of ridicule...

And we survived 8 years of a guy that needed someone to define "sex" and "is" to him.
