[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 727639, member: 32547"] Thinking of a hard truth about governments, including the U.S. It's amazing and positive that they are interested, but my first thought was, "Are they ready to rethink everything?" My following thought was, if yes-> "What operating systems are you using across the entirety of the U.S. network?" Then, the hard part, answer in hand->"Do you, Congress, or the Department of Energy and other departments know EVERYTHING there is to know about the operating systems in use?" That caused me to cringe when I realized that in this case America's enemies (I feel extremely confident that this is true), know more about the operating systems on U.S. network(s) than government officials, especially those with the weight to make something happen such as Congressmen. It's time to ask hard questions about the pace of growth with the American network infrastructure. What do you do when things are unknowns and too complicated also? 100% simplify. Get away from Microsoft and Apple, quit doing favors and find the professionals who know how to write...not just code...design and code->those who know securability cannot be compromised. Go to one operating system across all platforms that are not bound to something written specifically for the United States government. Clean up the peripheries and as the job is handled begin to look at your custom and high security systems and operating systems (from the BEGINNING). The greatest defense installations we will ever build (all nations) and the greatest weapons platforms too have in common two things...usability (train soldiers efficiently on the platform or efficiently to man a particular post) but also simplicity in terms of addressing the intended purpose for the installation or platform. For a defense installation, build it big and use more concrete than some would say is required. Use->ENOUGH. Design it and equip it to handle its purpose...no questions asked. Military cannot be throw away quick for profit equipment sales and building contracts. Only the presentation of strength will bring success to the mission statement of the military organization(s). Goverment networks should exist for simple use in support of the efforts of the various departments. However, a rat's nest is a rat's nest, and rats are one of the biggest threats to any nation. The U.S. government should put a stop to the fun and games approach the internet, starting with its own house. Get the best architects and require them to design it with a high enough degree of simplicity that any member of Congress can understand the security grid. After that, make sure that it is never tampered with->with the highest penalties. Then assist the states :) The best programmers understand this language and expect it too... [/QUOTE]
