Ada is a rather ingenious plot to slow down the US imperialist offensive work around the world by making all these "Software Engineers" (not programmers) labor slowly onwards (and at times backwards) with their projects. These projects will also have to be cut down in scope just to get them out at all. And since things go so slowly, do you think they are going to really test their programs? They will be so full of bugs the reliability question will provoke laughter around the world. Weren't the members of the Green Team from Europe? Certainly they weren't a bunch of sniveling Rambo's; they just led on all the other committees with this greatest of Trojan Horse software programs yet. Reminds me that at least two women from my past have claimed to have poked holes in certain Trojans while on babysitting jobs. Oh, well. By the way, Ada is my maternal grandmother's name, so screw the DoD's registered trademark.
