[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] > Lots of apostrophe pedantry from the internet :)

[11:19] schestowitz[TR2] > Helen noted it would be*great* if you can end on a link to our
[11:19] schestowitz[TR2] > Boudica Cybersecurity, and maybe say that more "joined-up thinking" is
[11:19] schestowitz[TR2] > the ethos of our school.
[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.
