Yes, we should cancel the high tech gov't programs wherein the vast majority of what we all use today has its origins, if not conceptually then made practical by application.
Oust those wasteful mid-level enginners and scientists with 1.5 kids and 2.0 mortgages and a college tuition bill. Instead give their money to unemployable gin-swilling bastard factories and their 6 children by 5 different absentee males. That's the wise inventment for the futute of this country, not some silly technology like transistors, lasers, radars, radios, pumps, optics, computers, or jet engines.
While we are at it, we can eliminate the Defense Dept also. Surrender half the country to Mexico, and the other half to Canada. Just think of all the free abortions and needles you could buy with that!
The Hidden Crack --
(1) The longer a cracker has between when he discovers a security flaw and when he acts on that flaw, the more devistating his attack is likely to be.
(2) If his flaw is uncovered by someone else, his attack is, in part, thwarted.
(3) The lilkihood of an un-exploited crack being detected, much less repaired, in a M$ product is near zero. They don't act until the problem is very obvious, thus the damage done.
(4) The liklihood of an un-exploited crack in an Open Source product being detected and repaired is reasonably high.
(5) Thus the liklihood of a significant flaw being discovered by a "terrorist", and lying dormant long enough for him to arrage to exploit it, is much higher for a M$ hidden system than for an Open system.
Generally true...
Unless you were the Chinesse Military and this was
still (0r again?) the Clinton Administration.
Then it would just cost a few million in campaign
donations.

Impressive Logic and Analogy.
