Dude. PUT DOWN THE PIPE! Seriously. Your last 2 brain cells are starting to flicker.

You are judging the results on the wrong criteria. Here are the Military and Defense Department employee's priorities:

Do I get free travel?
Do I get free surf and turf?
Do I get free tickets to the super bowl?
Will you hire my kids as a consultants?

and sometimes he makes less sense than normal. In this case, absolutely no sense. I thought he was going to make a comment about Folding@Home, but nope, didn't happen.

They either need to reboot the Drashek bot, or maybe a human Drashek needs a bit more sleep, who knows.

One of the main concerns that the military has is with regards to the microcode found in most VLSI processors.

It is possible to slip a trojan horse into the microcode of a CPU or NIC processor destined to a military wholesale supplier. You wouldn't even need to hijack the firmware to do so at boot time.

If the military is really worried about all of this, then it needs to forbid the use of commodity chips at all levels. Avoid FPGA chips, microcode based chips and any kind of civilian standardized interface. Go custom all the way.

Will it cost more? Sure. But just skip the purchase of one stealth bomber, and you've paid for the entire program.

"Now it fears that because it is buying too much off-the-shelf technology, the same viruses that drag people unwillingly to porn sites might drag cruise missiles off course."

Viruses attack badly written software/firmware, not hardware.
Plus even if your cruise missile was running windows 98, it still wouldn't be at risk unless you plugged it into an open network connection, or ran round plugging unchecked USB sticks into it!
