All the NSA's efforts didn't prevent the Boston bombers, after all. <br /><br />One of the truisms of engineering is that the more complicated the system, but more unreliable and susceptible to breakdowns it becomes, and the easier it is to foil. That's really what put Reagan's star wars missil defense to rest—the recognition that it would have to be too complicated to ever work reliably. <br /><br />Similarly with information systems. There's so much out there now that it soon will become utterly unnavigable. <br />The Geezershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132213545989946724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-77227410668875578362013-06-24T13:03:47.183-07:002013-06-24T13:03:47.183-07:00I have a former colleague who can't find a job...I have a former colleague who can't find a job. He doesn't seem to realize it may be because of the obscene and angry things he has said on Facebook about his last two employers.
