This provides us with the advantage that the the party which employs the best techs wins. So we would then end up with government officials that can tell the difference between a person who knows what they are talking about and a buzz word compliant idiot. This will hopefully filter down to remove people from the industry who create the loopholes in the first place by not knowing proper/secure coding practices. Which will in turn require better techs to crack thus making the whole e-Industry more robust and secure. (Or is this a wild pipe dream?)
I remember a skit on an Australian comedy show of the late 80s early 90s called "the Late Show" on the ABC. Where they had a 16 bladed razor blade. "The first distracts the hair..."
>ome people can't represent themselves without doing more harm for their cause than good.
You forgot that this also includes politicians...at least the ones in Australia. It is always good to see the stumbling politician. This never gets shown on the commercial news but is relegated to the Comedy shows. I think news ratings would go up if they included all the bloopers. But of course our news service is only 30 min so it would need to be extended.
I have noted that this seems to be happening more often. Our IT department has been downsized and now it is almost impossible to get assistance so we have taken all our servers away from the university and kept them in our Computer Science School. We also contact them simultaneously to when we start fixing the problem and then post to senior managment how long they took after we had fixed the problem ourselves. Unfortunately it has introduced more downsizing as we have been shown to not require them at all. So what should really be done to ensure good service? Showing them to be incompentent doesnt work and neither does doing it yourself... but when you don't then you can't get any work done.

Actually LotR is 6 books but the publishers decided to group them to make a trilogy.
Actually best way to kill ninja is by shouting "bedtime".
Ahh yes but cookies are now a sometimes food and web developers should take that into consideration.
Ahh but we can warm it up with our great global warming skills. Just put a few SUVs on it and it will be like a balmy equatorial colony.
At least we don't need to worry about women on /.

When you factor in the huge mark up/tax/tariff we Australians have to pay for any computer technology it would equate more to an US$600 computer
