Richard Clarke on Microsoft security
hizzo writes "Richard Clarke, former White House cybersecurity and counterterrorism adviser, harshly critized Microsoft's security track record. 'Given their record in the security area, I don't know why anybody would buy from them.' He also called for some regulation of security for ISPs in addition to better industry self-regulation, such as disclosing QA practices and becoming more accountable for secure code. I wonder if anyone will finally start listening to him?"
Or maybe Microsoft is illegally abusing its monopoly power, and it's time for the government to finally step in and put a stop to their anticompetitive practices?
What a fool believes, he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away.
Q: Where does telling the truth hurt your credibility.
A: Jesusland

The part where Microsoft greases palms is totally, 100% true.
And more than a dozen (Democratic) senators agree with the grandparent's analysis of what Rice did. That doesn't mean they're right, but you seem to be awfully sure of yourself.
Please change your Slashdot username. I think you're abusing it. =P
Education is the silver bullet.
So what? He is on the left because he is attacking the prez. He may not personally be "liberal" but the left uses them as his tool.
There were at several attacks during the Clinton administration. WTC I, the bombing of the Cole, the multiple embassy bombings in Africa, and the attacks on us in Somalia.
I said that it was sad and rather pathetic that the one gentleman who had enough vision to realize that Al Qaeda was not just a annoyance didn't have enough social skills to work and make other people realize the risk.
Again - how do you know that?
I propose that it's possible that the politicians were more interested in U.S. politics than in defense.
I base a lot of that on the fact that Clarke wasn't even granted a meeting with the senior advisors, until what - 9/5/01? That's not a failing of "social skills," that's "completely screwed out of being able to do your job by people who won't stop and listen to you."

Showing me interesting quotes doesn't interest me.
It is impossible to get me to question the leaders I have elected.
I am so jaded that not even a possible listing of purjured quotes will get me to investigate by opening Google and trying to find the original context.
Yes, I will not even open Google. That's asking too much of me.
I am a bad citizen of the most powerful country the world has ever seen.
In a perfect world, no one would ever question their leaders.
You idiot.
