For those that are interested in a well-argued discussion of something
close to our home turf, the Strategic Computing Programme component of
SDI, I recommend this month's Atlantic Magazine. It highlights the
"a little knowledge is dangerous" trap of technocracy -- the US DoD doesn't
really understand what an undertaking of the size of SCP entails, and
simply believes that diligence and effort will make it work. Tell that to
the last subtle bug that made your life miserable!
