Paranoia

On: Does Offshoring Threaten Combat Software?

This does not make sense.

Not using Off-Shore or Outsourced programmers - How does that make America safer?

Think about it. Its irrational. Programmers who are outsourced working on large projects will:

• Usually not be given the entire source code
• Will only be given a very specific part to do - and thus will not have the entire project
• Their section of the code will be tested thoroughly to ensure quality and completion
• Sometimes will not know what they are working on - just that their module has to accept X parameters and give Y results

Nothing to see here folks, just the Bush administration scaring the pants off its civilians.

Does Off-shore = programmers in NATO countries who have not committed to the war on terror??? Yeah I have a sneaky suspicion.

Before any of you go off half cocked. I need to remind you that NATO (UK, Canada, Germany, etc...) is in Afganistan.
