No doubt, but I think it's dangerous and entirely to your disadvantage to dismiss everyone doing government work in computer security as a donut- chomping incompetent Barney-Fife-clone imbecile. Anyone can laugh at the department heads on C-SPAN, but did you ever stop to think about who's really doing the hardcore research for the NSA at Ft. Meade--and elsewhere? And did you ever think that they may have decided it's in their best interest to let otherwise informed and intelligent people like you laugh them off as third-rate and underfunded? Think about it. >Similarly consider the CIA, whose assessments of the Soviet Union >were consistently less accurate than my own. Not everyone who wrote assessments for CIA got them past the politicized review of deputy director Gates. As you may know, the whole culture in the 80s was characterized by a deep rift between two warring factions who literally referred to each other as "knuckledraggers" and "commie symps." If the symps had the upper hand instead of the knuckledraggers under Casey, there's not a doubt in my mind you would have seen an entirely different kind of intelligence product. The same old resentments are still there: just yesterday I heard Michael Pillsbury, a former defense policy planner in the Reagan administration, repeatedly refer to analysts who disagreed with him as "panda huggers" during the course of his testimony before the Senate. The hardliners he called "blue team". (Gee, I wonder which side he was on!) I guess "panda huggers" is a little better than "commie symps" but it sure says a lot about the intellectual climate. It won't come as a surprise when we start seeing the same kind of analytic mistakes again because of it... >It appears to me that the level of corruption, laziness, >irresponsibility, and sheer incompetence is fairly uniform >throughout all branches of the government and all its activities. I'm sure the senior scientists at Ft. Meade couldn't be more delighted to hear you say that. ~Faustine.

McAfee patent on security services subscription
by Subcommander Bob 07 Aug '01

07 Aug '01

http://wired.com/news/business/0,1367,45897,00.html McAfee.com has won a patent for its system of delivering security-related software and services over the Internet, giving it a potential leg up in the emerging trend of subscription-based software. The patent, issued July 24 by the U.S. Patent Office, covers the technology behind McAfee's system, what co-inventor Srivats Sampath calls the company's "secret sauce," as well as its subscription-based business model, the company said Monday. McAfee applied for the patent in 1998. "The future of software is really going to be delivered as Web services and we have a component of that," said Sampath, McAfee's president and chief executive officer. "The patent is a way to protect our investment." "This doesn't close the door for competitors, it simply sets some boundaries for them," said Harry Fenik, chief executive officer of the Sageza Group, a market research firm. Now, any company or so-called application service provider looking to offer subscription- and Web-based software specifically in the security and PC-management arena "will have to tread carefully" to not infringe on McAfee's patent, or decide to pay McAfee licensing fees, Fenik said.
