I always thought that DOS was tolerated by the FED, because it was no
threat to a national security state, because there was no security, and
no real ability to network on a twenty four hour basis.

You're right. This is good news, and I wanted to popularize and warn
about the new 'features' of IE explorer that allow access to every file
on the client side. NT crashing in perfect synchrony with IE explorer,
is what the Air Forced needed to see to ban 'push.' Some real time
horrors, formerly reserved for civilians and lesser network gods (ie.
Artisoft, and other DOS nets). Our entire national security state
rationale is based on the backdoors of banking software, that is branded
by the NSA. Post Cold War security involves the ability to 'seamlessly'
intercept transactions and then process them into automatic archives. NT
lets everyone into this game, and thereby they spoil the game for the
big boys with their satellites and fiber. Bill was tolerated because a
bunch of generals didn't want Apples and PCs to be able to "launch a
nuclear strike."

Now he's nuking their forty year + investment in software, with a
cartoon menu that anyone who watches the hacker lists can exploit. Let's
not forget that Professor Morris developed back doors and protoviruses
back in the early 60s, to exploit financial and government institutions
alike.

We won the Cold War, to make the world safe for Windows?
