SLOC Method of judging Comp Sec.
Hey Hey,
Sometimes I'm really amazed by things that happen in this city, anyways.... this was an article that appeared in our paper. It's not very often we get a lot of high tech stuff, so something of this magnitude is very cool. I figured I'd post it here for everyone to see... I realize it's not much of a read, but I figured you may enjoy it anyways.

Often, references are made to the number of vulnerabilities likely to exist in a software program based on the SLOC number. Based strictly on the SLOC number, the growth in size of Microsoft's Windows operating system would raise significant concern. Windows is estimated to have increased to 40 million lines in Windows XP from 20 million lines in the Windows NT 5.0 version.
