Many grow up in homes of faith, if only the good news story of Bill Gates, the evils of Linux and a warning about Google could be presented in a more clear way:
1 In the beginning was the DOS, and the DOS was THE OS, and it was good. And behold the Gates said, “Thou shalt not tinker with my disciple Paterson's design for it is good and it workith. For Paterson made the DOS, and lo of all of his OS work, from the designs which I, the Gates, paid him upon the street.”
2 “And shouldst thou hack with it, and crack all manner of foul improvements upon it, and profane its internal parts, thou shalt surely have malfunctions, and in the midst of important work thou shalt surely come to crash.”
3 And as the versions passed men in their ignorance and arrogance didst forget the word of the Gates and began to profane the DOS. The tribe of the gamesman did place 3d and extended memory upon the DOS and their texture artists didst expand the tolerances and alter colors to their liking, their clearness of mind being clouded by imagination.
4 Their hackers did compile all manner of foul code upon the DOS and did so alter it that it became expensive to use. For lo, the developers didst charge a great tax upon the purchasers of the DOS so that the lowly cubicle worker could not afford a license. And the profaning of the internal code didst render it unworkable when the connecting of the net fell upon it and didst try and fit more users of applications onto the network than the holy number of ten, appointed for the Intel.
5 And lo, they didst install cheap 3d cards, which are an abomination unto the Gates. For they doth break and lose their zero when thou dost need true math. And those who have upgraded so will be rebooted in great numbers by their errors in the games.
6 And it came to pass that the Gates didst see the abomination wrought by man and didst cause, as he had warned, fearful malfunctions to come upon the abominations and upon the developers who thought they could code no wrong.
7 Seeing the malfunctions and the confusion of men, the student of the underworld did see an opportunity to further ensnare man and didst bring forth an OS copyrighted for free, whose CLI was such that they looked and coded like a UNIX server, yet the eyes of man being clouded, they were consumed by the free servers and did install vast quantities of them.
8 And being a deceitful European the student of the underworld did make these free servers difficult to the gamers of earth and they were unable to tinker much with the design, and lo these free servers did appear to function.
9 And the European one also brought forth servers in which the cores didst both power manage and scale smoothly and which require a “guru” to make them appear stable.
10 But admins being stupid did not understand these new servers and didst proceed to code themselves with the free servers and with the packet pushing and pulling for lo their manual of Emacs required great intelligence which admins had long since forsaken. Yet admins continue to gloat over these free servers blaming evil corporations for the negligent reboots which they themselves had committed.
11 And when telco networks had been totally ensnared with the free servers, the student of the underworld didst cause a plague of the terrible Google to descend upon man and the free servers delivered their retribution upon men. And there was a great wailing and phishing of credit in the land.
12 Then seeing that the eyes of man were slowly being opened and that man was truly sorrowful for his sinful misdeeds, the Gates did send his marketers in the form of academics who did hear and obey the teachings of the prophet and who didst restore the profaned servers to their proper configuration, and lo, to the amazement of investors they didst begin to profit as the prophet had intended.
13 And the deans of the colleges didst remove tenure from the charlatans and socialists on the facilities, and there was joy and profit in the internet, except for the evil trolls which tried occasionally to prey on the men and women of the internet and who were sent to the place of eternal negative moderation by the followers of Ballmer.
While telling the world about been "vendor-neutral".
If they wanted MS only, why not do a local version of the "no bid contract" and then it would all be fine.
Yes the NSA is your telco network, so its free ride for them.
The FBI would just outsource to its wiretap/phone billing software contractors.
Was it like George Koronias of Vodaphone in Greece or Adamo Bove, head of security at Telecom Italia? Or did MS just 'google' and test to see if 3rd party marketing could get away with a nice daily ad database update?
A security hardware/software backdoor, marketing or just MS been MS and alpha testing on your mobile plan?
The reports where that the code was so good that real hardware was used to test it. Who can bench test expensive, exotic hardware to write code as a windows script/virus coder?
As for non-sequiturs, learn for the past as different govs had to face lab tests show it was their own DNA or own mil spec explosives.
As for the Unabomber manifesto, his own text was used to help find him.
Could parts of the stuxnet code be the same point to a university, lab or even protected insider code? If so the who coded it list gets very short.
Australia had this too http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/telstra-users-left-holding-exposed-lines/2008/12/08/1228584743353.html
"THOUSANDS of Telstra customers are putting up with crude, temporary phone connections with cables held together by tape and plastic bags and strung along fences, across lawns and through trees. In many cases the unsightly - even dangerous - cables are left in place for months and even years, despite repeated pleas to finish the job by burying them."
England worked via the TV roll out eg. "Domestic Electrical Rentals" that if the masses watch sport, soaps ect they would be less active in their local communities -as "local politics" and "community" was reduced to sitting in front of the tv at home. No more sport, parks, walks, greeting, meeting.
So the "waste away every moment of their life on facebook and masturbating to scat porn" is as useful in todays terms as it was a change when TV was offered as a low cost 'rental' to the masses.
The gov just wants to ensure everybody has a computer to waste time with as older generations had a low cost tv to waste time with.
People with too much free time tend to talk to their neighbours and get politically active. Politically active people tend to notice what their politicians did in their name and then it all gets strange.
Follow the cash flow. This keeps a lot of IT departments in cash and expanding. Running around fixing, converting, working with, upgrading, testing... MS keep the support teams very productive.
Where where the other US products Australia could have selected from?
Or Microsoft offered some very unique file tracking options.
From simple unique identifiers too ??
From schools to gov to states, to teaching hospitals, MS has been very busy in Australia.
Yes Canada loves the US/NSA, Nokia/German interests love the BND who love the NSA.
You might be safe from the local feds, but message has to be routed somewhere.
Your message is safe but the number links you... then your phone is fair game.
The police/feds can do more than just read your IMEI number now.
The sneak has been removed from "sneak and peek".
The peek is now more a search too. Add in "they are free to try to crack the password by guessing it or by entering every possible combination (a brute-force attack)" - how strong is your average MS (patch on the way some time)/Apple(optional ?)/Google(3rd party/soon?) OS NSA allowed crypto effort?
If its strong, what about a useful plain text like backup database back on your desktop/laptop? Bookmarks and that autocomplete cache that never gets wiped?
Will a country have an encrypted container detection software kit? Could you be held on not providing a pw when requested?
The smart thing to do is have a very dumb phone and just give up a list of numbers. Back to pen register vs your online life in plain text.
Russia is more hands on, look at its own dissidents, press, NGO's, regional independence movements. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Group
China floods a country of interest with aid, cash, trade and friendly experts.
It then extracts needed raw materials for cents on the $ and the drops in the gift of clinics, roads, schools, wells, dams ect. Sort of like the US/UK/Russia did with less coup and arms sales.
Who deals with code? GCHQ, NSA, BND, CIA and their friends. From weak mass telco crypto products over decades to news about strange pipeline hardware.
Points to things been too good?
The Unabomber manifesto, the use of certain people and devices can point back to/expose groups eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladio_in_Italy
The early use of a 'new' plastic explosive, a DNA sequence
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn2265-anthrax-attack-bug-identical-to-army-strain.html can all be tested.
Could the code in a more perfect, more pure, quality form (as found in the wild) ever really point back to teaching methods or something geographical?
If its still highly effective on some levels, its fine, anything better could the residue of a state actor start to glow?
Apple is just returning to its roots with the web 2.0 generation falling for a "Motorola and hypercard colour/Netwon" in their hands.
Its not about the chip really, its about control of the OS, energy use and upgrade cycle. Apple can plot and predict the supply over years and under clock/lock out the hardware to ensure you will 'need' the next hardware device. Why sell one device that will last when they can ensure you feel the need to buy two in the same time period.

“The public will not support a plan if you leave the former shareholders with anything,”
As for facebook, great as a data mining/freedom spreading subsidised interest of a few intelligence agencies riding useless privacy legislation?
Great for trend tracking, buzzword counts, herd interests, freedom fighter networking. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/14/facebook_trust_dumb/
Would a set of front companies be exposed by selling in the US?
Or is the US $ now going somewhere bad and 'top' people want to pump facebook with real cash on the way up?
Licensing, ad tracking and lock-in is all an Apple, Microsoft or Google has. Think of the shareholders, trusts and sovereign wealth funds that need that flow of new consumers.
The world faced this with oil and mineral rights after decolonisation. Past generations sold out to Washington or Moscow, expect the same with MS and Google.
Linux is the perfect fit, but will it be seen as a hardware base for a night of the long install by a MS or Google as a national 'gift'.
312000000 by ~50 states/extraterritorial jurisdiction/territories with a code from each Fusion center. Add in extra space for other 3 letter agencies, faith/militia/gang/vet details, no fly list flagged... gets big fast.
Australia has had a lot of police database issues. From the removal of original files and the double life of officers as active spies for criminal groups. eg. "Victoria Police and the problem of corruption and serious misconduct" http://www.opi.vic.gov.au/file.php?61
The NSA used levels of access, subsets of information was never open to anyone not cleared for that unique operation. The East Germans split all their spy info so no one person could ever walk out with full details.
In the private sector its a can be a internet free for all. http://www.theage.com.au/technology/security/vodafone-sacks-staff-over-database-breaches-20110114-19q0y.html http://www.zdnet.com.au/virus-hits-integral-energy-desktops-339298861.htm
Australia has a lot to learn at the low and mid level computing, usually buying in systems from the USA and letting the locals try their best. The NSA and GCHQ have worked with our top level defence staff, so thats more safe.
South Africa used a 3500 volt electrified fence in the 1970's with Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The rest was mostly special forces and other military units.
Siemens? They helped with "Nokia Siemens" via the ability to monitor, control, and read local telephone calls.
The only issue was the use of Mircosoft. Never let Mircosoft near any of your real world systems.
ingenious act of sabotage? They messed with a MS driven usb product?
Script kiddies and perl coding UFO hunters play with MS everyday.
Iran should have had its own networks, own software, own sealed production lines.
They went cheap and saved time. The mistake was noted.
Real ingenious acts enter fiction and are exposed as been reality many decades later.
The hope is that the US computers and defensive hardware will become less than perfect when confronted with way too many cheap missile targets.
Add in needed reload and short resetting delays, something might get past.
Where the article fails hopelessly is explaining what a three year delay actually buys us.
It buys 3 years of defectors, active targeting of people and locations, export deal mindgames, hardware tracking, 3 more years of US aid, 3 years of stocking up on next generation US weapons. Politically it keeps the vision of 'evil' alive - Iran is building, only a strong unified political structure can do what it needed.
Iran cannot trust MS or the basic EU hardware and will have to spend up big trying to buy parts and build at home.
Iran is now playing the import game and is again wide open to more software issues.
