Clinton on FireFox in State Department "Town Hall" meeting (link and excerpt)

:wtf: Stop and think about what you just said for a second. Do you have any idea what their IT guys must make? I don't either but I bet it's a *lot* more on average than any random large company. The person in the quote gave an entirely correct answer about the cost, in fact they actually understated it quite a bit.

Deploying an app to all the normal workstations in the state dept would be no worse than doing the same to all the work stations in a large company with numerous branch office locations. Doing the same to secure workstations is probably a lot harder, i doubt you can run an enterprise windows update server over siprnet, but the security constraints/overhead from them shouldn't be driving the maintenance program for the rest of your systems.

Nice sig :-D Although the European way was more like: Blow your own continent up and force your colonies to blow theirs up too.

I'd argue that at best you're referring to a secondary effect. On a large scale I don't think the colonies ever blew themselves up anywhere near as thoroughly as Europe did to itself.

French and British colonies in North America and Asia, for instance, went to war every time France and Britain went to war. It happened with other colonial powers too. Africa saw a lot of fighting in WW2, despite the fact that none of the aggressors were African. Indian history is full of proxy wars between French-backed and British-backed Princely states, and later, French colonies and British colonies.
