More on the IT Implications of a Grexit. Spot on. Most people have no idea how hugely, ridiculously, intimidatingly complex banking and insurance systems are. (Note: I have worked in banking and in insurance, in IT.)

And how thoroughly they must be tested before any changes are made.

Bill Mitchell sounds like a real tool who doesn’t actually know anything about IT at all.

Anyone who thinks that Y2K wasn’t actually a real problem with huge negative possible real-world consequences is a goddamn huge moron by default.

Y2K didn’t cause problems because millions of people spent billions of person-hours fucking fixing it.

The war against general-purpose computing and being able to modify the devices you own continues.

Two of the routers we own have unofficial, modified firmware on them. Both give capabilities the routers otherwise would not have possessed.

Wonder if the NSA isn’t actually behind this, so as to prevent installation of firmware that nukes NSA wireless router backdoors.

Or just plain corporate greed. Probably both.
