08:05 schestowitz[TR2]; Can I have your permission to reprint in techrights with attribution and link tom original? It's spot on and on-topic.
08:05 schestowitz[TR2]; I saw the El Reg article last night. It did not go far enough.

11:18 schestowitz[TR2]; Thanks for quickly granting permission.
11:18 schestowitz[TR2]; Before I read the later message I had reproduced it with the following corrections:
11:18 schestowitz[TR2]; it's -> its in
11:18 schestowitz[TR2]; away it's own future
11:18 schestowitz[TR2]; it's democratising influence
11:18 schestowitz[TR2]; The West has had it's own much slower-burning purge
11:18 schestowitz[TR2]; it's direction is important
11:18 schestowitz[TR2]; "are relegated to faults," - full stop?
11:18 schestowitz[TR2]; Or is that by intention. left as is.
11:19 schestowitz[TR2]; > Roy, Ive made a few small corrections since this morning.

11:19 schestowitz[TR2]; >
11:19 schestowitz[TR2]; > many thanks
11:19 schestowitz[TR2]; Yes, I can still edit the text or add bits of HTML, I will check email again later today ;-)

11:24 schestowitz[TR2]; Here is a recent one, but which only focuses on the monoculture not the shoddy design and piss poor implementation:
11:24 schestowitz[TR2]; https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/files/documents/cyber/IEEE%20-%20IT%20Monoculture.pdf
11:24 schestowitz[TR2]; It also fails to call out the inherently insecure nature of proprietary software.
11:24 schestowitz[TR2]; Still looking. This is not it:
11:24 schestowitz[TR2]; https://www.networkworld.com/article/895510/software-retiring-exec-tells-microsoft-to-embrace-open-source.html
11:24 schestowitz[TR2]; There was some colonel or similar, IIRC, in the late 1990s which called out m$ insecurity as a threat to national security.
