Gates and Security
An anonymous reader writes "Orwell was wrong about Big Brother! Microsoft founder and chairman Bill Gates told a homeland-security conference on Wednesday afternoon that Orwell's dystopian vision of the future, in which Big Brother used technology as a form of social control, 'didn't come true, and I don't believe it will.'" Other tidbits about this security conference: Gates had his own troubles with security (Drudge is copy-and-pasting from a subscriber-only Roll Call story). Gates is apparently trying to sell interoperability to HomeSec. Meanwhile, Microsoft viruses continue unchecked.
You mean `viruses running on Windows? Not QUITE the same thing...
how can any rational person not say that the Iraqi people are liberated? The fact is they are undeniably freed from the boot of Saddam Hussein.
Where's the thought control there? Who thinks they were not liberated?
