I don't think the Intel CPU is all that bad iff you run it in one of the segmented protected modes where things can be very tightly controlled. The problem is that all modern stuff is predicated on a flat memory model where anything can modify anything and code and data are mingled. The non-execute bit helps slightly but any good hacker can get round it. The virtual machine capabilities of todays chips aren't bad either. > > I have some good ideas of how to make things better, but nobody here > wants to discuss them, or suggest any alternates.

You announce that magic packet inspection by the same invisible technology leprechauns that will police the Northern Irish border post Brexit will solve all our problems. But they won't. They are a figment of your imagination. Just keeping a list of all the patterns of bad code is a monumental task and the aggressors would simply encrypt or pad with NOOPs here and there to defeat simple signature analysis. > So, call me an idiot, or suggest a better os and internet > architecture, and we'll see which group you are in. OS/2 and Unix seem to do pretty well. It is MickeySoft Windows that is the extremely vulnerable one. Apple's OS will run perfectly well on the right PC hardware - certain brands of Medion make fine Hackintoshes. I am no great fan of the Intel chips but they are nothing like as bad as you want to paint them. Most of the bugs are in Microsofts software. The self same hardware behaves robustly when running Apples dialect of Unix. -- Regards, Martin Brown
