22 January 1989 a court of jurors has acknowledged Morris guilty. If
denunciatory verdict had been approved without modification, Morris would have
been sentenced to 5 years of prison and 250,000 dollars of fine. However Morris
attorney Thomas Guidoboni immediately has lodged a protest and has directed all
papers to the Circuit Court with the petition to decline the decision of court... Finally
Morris was sentenced to 3 months of prisons and fine of 270 thousand dollars, but in
addition Cornwall University carried a heavy loss, having excluded Morris from its
members. Author then had to take part in liquidation of its own creation.
TEXT 3
Read the text. Divide it into two parts.
In which paragraph does the author write about the main problems?
To what extent do you agree or disagree with his opinion?
There's only one problem with software development these days, according
to security analyst and author Gary McGraw: It isn't any good.
McGraw, noted for his books on Java security, is out with a new book that
purports to tell software developers how to do it better. Titled Building Secure
Software and co-authored with technologist John Viega, the book provides a plan for
designing software better able to resist the hacker attacks and worm infestations that
plague the networked world.
At the root of the problem, McGraw argues, lies «bad software.» While the
market demands that software companies develop more features more quickly,
McGraw and others in the security field are sounding the alarm that complex and
hastily designed applications are sure to be shot through with security holes.
Raised in eastern Tennessee, McGraw studied philosophy at the University of
Virginia before getting his dual doctorate in computer and cognitive science from
Indiana University. He subsequently went to work for Reliable Software
Technologies, now called Cigital, and gained attention in computer security circles
for the books he co-authored on Java security.
McGraw spoke to CNET News.com about the state of software development
and education, outlining his 10 principles for better security and the five worst
software security problems.
Q: You've identified the root of the computer security problem as bad
software development. Why is software such a problem?
A: I would say there are three major factors influencing the problem. Number
one is complexity. It turns out that software is way more complicated than it used to
be. For example, in 1990, Windows 3.1 was two and a half million lines of code.
Today, Windows XP is 40 million lines of code. And the best way to determine how
many problems are going to be in a piece of software is to count how many lines of
code it has. The simple metric goes like this: More lines, more bugs.
The second factor in what I like to call the «trinity of trouble» is connectivity.
That is, the Internet is everywhere, and every piece of code written today exists in a
