I spend too much time talking to you young parentals.

Signs of change:
1) Baby crosses eyes and grunts
2) Baby looks smug
3) Baby suddenly smells real bad
4) in absence of 1-3, a sudden change in baby's bottom squishiness ...

I can't help but note the "six year old Microsoft software" bit. ZOMG, Win XP! Truly it is the technamologcal dark ages! Will Facebook even work on that shit?

We have been promised, on air, at least six months of media softballing like this though, barring the unforeseeable.

Love the whole getting rid of torture thing, that is awesome. More like that! Hell yeah! The rest, I'm kinda losing my buzz a little. All this expectation-lowering poormouthing and ref gaming before the fact isn't helping. gawd, just do work son!

I thought they were using Win2K, not XP.

well 2000 came out in 2000 innit. XP I think woulda been 2001 or so? Either way, the math's off a little. Maybe they were talking about Server 2003, heh.

At any rate, I'd bet most offices in America are running shit that's way more ghetto than what they had up there. Regardless, the article does what it sets out to do: make people think "ok well, it's gonna take them awhile to get that all sorted, so let's cut 'em some slack when things don't start happening like we thought they would."

That article does little to inspire my confidence in either past or future whitehouse network security.

True, although I assume they lie about this stuff.  Presumably the NSA (or whoever actually secretly handles White House information security) is doing a better job than they let on.

Ya gotta hope, anyway.
