I'm guessing that Dan is feeling a significant loss of business as a result of Linux being deployed. Every time Linux is installed in the US government, this guy loses yet another potential customer. So, rather than compete on even terms, he is launching his own attack against Linux, using scare tactics and hysterical screeching. I doubt anyone will listen to him. dave |

I know someone who's quite an expert in this area. His observation was that writing secure software was difficult, that the number of bugs per thousand lines of code was nearly constant, independent of operating system, the programming language used, and so forth. This was his view several years ago, and it hasn't changed since. I also feel that writing secure software is indeed very difficult; this article suggests that generalizing about it is much easier. |
