|  Re: Pentagon fears trojans, kill switches in foreign-made CPUs Let's keep this "free trade" going with china until it DROWNS this country with problems, then PANIC to find a solution. Is it me, or does that sound like a STUPID thing to do?!?! Well, it's DONE, were're PANICING, DROWNING, and still TOO STUPID to STOP! This country is circling the drain, I guess people won't get it until they NEED to learn chinese and spanish to get a job  .  |
