Maybe if we weren't spending so much money sacrificing our military might 
in the Middle East we'd have enough money left over to run our Top Secret 
network?  As much of a pain in the butt as physically seperate is to 
maintain we've seen clearly given how various widely respected crypto 
algorithms have been undermined just in recent weeks that as vital and 
necessary as crypto is that it doesn't provide a complete solution.  We 
won't have to worry about anybody at Los Alamos losing hard drives anymore 
when our Latest Terrorist can just crack a poorly administered firewall. 
My current sig is obviously something that our current brilliant DISA 
management has missed out on.  Sigh.

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make 
it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way 
is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
