    I want Bennett Haselton to have my babies.

    I don't know how he'd propose that happens given I'm male, but I'm sure he could dissect the problem and provide a 47 page PowerPoint slide presentation with embedded 3D graphics and 97.6% vacuous text leading to an answer in the form of a question.

    Sorry.

    Your argument poisons itself with poorly thought-out extremes.

    "Colonialism" is a state established after the victory.

    " ,,, any liberal American[']s reaction ..."

    It is disingenuous to make such a statement knowing that neither you nor I (or anyone else) is capable of meeting with, and inquiring as to, the reaction of all liberal Americans.

    Therefore, your post contains 7.5 lbs of vacuous bullshit.

    But thank you for playing.

    Education, eduschmation ...

    The plot is formulaic. Instead of the incentives you listed, " ... change their ways with threats of hell-fire and eternal damnation, or bribe them into such changes with food, tobacco, or booze. ... " substitute "education."

    It's still the fucking cheese in the mousetrap.

    Your unit of measure is flawed.

    People who have been decimated by invasion would not agree with your definition of "success."

    I'm with you.

    Missionary work is ultimately what got native Americans.

    tl;dr, but you mentioned Sony and Target.

    I don't give a flying fuck about Sony and Target. Those guys can worry about themselves.

    My immediate concern is things like ransomware.

    I want my (business/consumer) programs and data to be safe.

    Eventually, market evolution will take care of the weak Sony and Target entities if they can't adapt.

    I think MS Windows is obsolete. That was sorta my whole point. Windows has its roots in an unsecure paradigm.

    Maybe we can move forward if all apps (business/consumer) are sand-boxed where malicious activity can be neutralized.

    I've been at this shit since Moby Dick was a minnow.

    I remember when there was no local area network -- way before the Internet.

    Malicious programs got circulated by 5 1/4" floppies via MSDOS.

    That's when the problem started and that's how far back we have to go.

    I can foresee some improvement if we move toward the dumb terminal/mainframe architecture by way of sand-boxed apps that can be pulled from a centralized location if they go rogue.

    Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Steve Wozniak were part of the Digital Revolution where they wanted to decentralize data and put computers in the hands of the people.

    Now it looks like we need a backlash.

    Yes. Those listed are not serious except to waste money on funding.

    Any real attempts to "thwart" attacks from the outside would START with identifying the external actors.

    That's:

    1.) Our government
    2.) Their government
    3.) Big business
    4.) Organized crime
    5.) Cyber gangs
    6.) Kiddies

    Government abuse has been all over the news lately.

    Manning and Snowden were so far removed from the core of security and walked off with all the goods.
