  1. Re:Secure operating systems... on Red Hat Seeks to Deliver Most Secure Linux · · Score: 0

    If this Redhat version contains MAC (mandatory access control) ala NSA, it will become too difficult
    to administer and the customer will use something else more useful. I worked at MITRE with secure
    systems and concluded that they are less than useful. The primary axiom of security is:

    Security is the reciprocal of convenience.

  2. Re:a few starting ideas on Improving Education? · · Score: 0

    SAT scores peaked around 1967. Public unions
    (teachers unions) came into being about 1963 via
    Kennedy. My simple solution would be to get rid of unions in government, and perhaps bring in school vouchers. Remember that the GI Bill was the biggest and very successful school voucher program.

  3. Re:Nice to see NSA contributing on New Security-Enhanced Linux Release · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'd be wary of anything NSA, not because of anything they would put in the code for their purposes but their general incompetence in software development. I worked with these people in my stint at Mitre. It was humorous to work with them.
