Vindicated

I got an interesting e-mail from my partner at work. It said:

"Saw interesting hearing on cspan. AT&T head of security testifying before congress. Said largest problem is software. He said it almost universally sucks. All of it sloppy with attack vectors. His point was that U.S. programmers need to be retrained. Related point was that complexity leads to risk. You can't manage what we don't understand. We make stuff too complicated. It was like hearing [you] testify, except of course, fbi would never let you get that close."

I laughed and smiled..

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
