Because those 5 recursive layers of 30 or 40 different applets on every website known to man aren't going to crush your machine by themselves, you know.
The tiny Belgian armed forces is horribly bloated and inefficient because it's based on awarding political contracts across a broad spectrum of Flemish and Walloon constituencies. This results in badly mismatched and concocted schemes to build systems no one wants and no one can use. For example one model of APC uses a one-off 90mm gun where the ammo is made by a single small company. But the other FOUR incompatible models of APC all made by different companies are all secure in their permanent contracts as well. This is the F-35 in a nutshell.
BTW the Australians and the Brits discovered the F-35 "B" version VTOL runs so hot it melts the decks on their ships taking off.
IBM chipfabs are a decade out of date. What they want is the patent portfolio and the people who created it. When IBM says they will 'invest' what they mean is that they will pay GF to design and make their chips for them.
It was terrible that an Asian factory treated people like, well, an Asian factory. Now that they're replaced with machines, liberals will scream that they're being denied the opportunity to be given shitty work in horrible conditions in an Asian factory.
Rule #1 is never tell your former employer the name or industry of your future employer. You don't have to tell them so don't tell them. It's on a need to know basis and they don't have a need to know. If pushed, lie and tell them you're just quitting with no job lined up.
So what happens is two-fold. 1) everyone runs the red light because you don't know when you'll get another chance. 2) drivers actually blank out and start driving while the light is still red because they've been there so long that they think "oh it must be green by now."
Where I live, red lights average about 6 to 8 minutes and the cross street's green is typically so short the first car in line can't get across w/o it turning yellow. Stop doing that. Stop making people have to adjust their entire day because the lights are so screwed up. And even UPS has software which adjusts truck routes based on left turn lights so as to avoid them. That means that left turns are a disaster.
Every day, every single day, snatch up one employee of Time Warner or Comcast. And you burn them alive in front of their family. Continue until their business model changes.
It's another slice of the market going to a new competitor. It's not going to "kill" the cab industry. Why? Lots of people won't use it. It's not all that reliable and as it increases in scope it will include people who shouldn't be providing that service. So calm the hell down, take your bribes and shut the fuck up.
Tell you what, Mother Government. YOU buy MY car for me and let me use it for free or near-free. When my phone is dead or I don't have it, just call up the cops and have the 'offender' shot on sight.
No one will hire anyone w/o clearance and no one will pay someone not to work for the up to 18 months it can take to get clearance. So the community of people with clearance get rehired over and over and over and over
Which is why you have Edward Snowden. It's easier to hire an angry ex square-badge high school dropout with clearance than to get someone better vetted.
BTW under Obama the amount of material labeled 'classified' or higher has exploded. It's pretty much everything everywhere.
Yes there are bad products, an increasing quantity of bad products. And an increasing quantity of things to fix more than once. And an increasing number of exposures and so forth.
But, SW has never actually been an engineering discipline. So there's no real way to make things better off the blocks or fix them once they're out. But key problems really have to do with people not things. People are the weak link. And as long as you have to rely on people it will remain the weak link. A better approach would be to take a more holistic approach to allow for vulnerabilities of a given scope and size and build around them as it were. For example if you know that your servers won't get patched very well then fence them off so they can't hurt very much even where they're badly broken. If workstations are infected because people are retards who click on anything, fence them off too so even when they do they can't propagate their own mistakes.
Moreover, you have to understand that not every vulnerability means the same thing. Some things simply won't hurt your company the same way something else will. Heartbleed while a big problem and very pervasive is still only going to point to 64k ram volatile memory blocks. Blow your stuff out before it gets there. Not every unpatched system not every firewall rule will actually hurt your company or conversely its fix help you.
You need to understand that being 98 or 99% healthy is ok too.
Good move. Now stupid Ivory Tower types get a taste of what liberal socialism really looks like. Shit - in a few years most of THOSE jobs will be offshored to India and China anyway. I'll be laughing my head off. Meanwhile Dr Income Redistribution Paul Krugman gets $225,000 a year to teach ZERO classes at CUNY. Fauxcohantas Dr Elizabeth Warren was paid millions as a tenured prof to do no actual work other than run for political office.
This is the IT industry we're talking about. If we could hire illegal aliens with functional illiteracy in their OWN language let alone ours, we'd do it if we could get away with it.

Anyone who kills themselves over an emoticon is actually on the right track.
If you're a gay black handicapped Muslim refugee from Mexico you get +50% off the bat.

And may I add, to the person who down modded me; fuck you and may you spend eternity sucking livestock dick in hell.

He is the most useless fucking tool of a president we've ever had. In fact useless would be an improvement. He's fucking evil. Fuck you Obama.

The hippiest liberalist place on earth has no room for them. Kick them out.

We'll pass a new law requiring people to force themselves to vomit.
Come on, there's no more rule of law or Bill of Rights in the US. Get over it, it's gone. And remember to worship and hail Lord Bama.
