USA Congress Demands USA Become a Tech Back-water

“A year-long investigation by a U.S. congressional committee has reportedly concluded that Chinese telecommunication equipment vendors Huawei Technologies and ZTE pose a security threat to the nation, and the committee is advising U.S. firms to buy networking gear from other vendors. But analysts say the committee’s investigation is motivated more by politics, while doing little to safeguard U.S. telecommunication networks.”

see Politics, not security, at center of Huawei, ZTE allegations, say analysts.

Chuckle. The idiots behind the report do not seem to realize that most IT is manufactured in China these days. Do they want to boycott all the OEMs as well? Why not? Take the USA back to the Stone Age. They would do everyone a favour by demanding a boycott of M$’s stuff. Where do they think all that malware feels at home?

    From the man that supports dictators and war profiteers because they use open source software.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
