Hey, they got Bin Laden through his courier. All they need is a bit of intelligence from this guy (I know, "lulz" and "intelligence" don't exactly go together), and they can get pretty far.
They got all the intelligence they will need from this guy when they got an image of his disks. Disks will know more than any puppet.
Just because you catch a handful of the people who can exploit these systems because those systems are so easy to exploit does not fix the problem.
Yeah, that would be an ideal world (wakey wakey.) IRL, credit card companies haven't improved CC security because it is cheaper and easier to catch fraudulent persons and to compensate losses than to improve cards to be "beyond hackable". Same principle applies here - it's easier to catch and hang few perpetrators than to patch all CMSes around the globe. Note that i am just observing what goes on IRL, that does not necessarily mean i wouldn't rather live in that ideal, fair(y) world.
Where did that information come from? I live in Poland and I'm pretty sure FOSS isn't almost used at all on governmental boxes. I used to work for a governmental agency and never saw anything but Windows.
I've been reading about Polish govt accepting FOSS for long time now, it's easy to look it up on the web: http://www.osor.eu/news/pl-ninety-percent-op-public-administrations-use-open-source There are more sources, however, I have no "hands-on" knowledge nor I ever worked for Polish govt. to be able to deny or confirm those claims. If I mislead someone it was not intentional.
