German Gov't, Free Software, and Secure E-mail
friday2k writes "There is a nice Article on Newsforge describing how the German Government moves ahead on looking into Free Software solutions for government agencies. And you need a standard, secure, email client for this." Basically, they are funding some good secure e-mail - but making sure that it works with stuff like Kmail.
Aren't they the ones that killed all the kikes? I support them in any venture they partake in. Fucking Jews.
hmm. I agree with what you're saying, and to back you up I'd just like to mention that I suck on fat hairy cock, and the government pays me to do this.
:)
Bear in mind, this payment comes from taxpayers money. Have a nice day, I know I will.
Fuck you.
will someone PLEASE suck my god damn motherfucking cock?
...... The U.S. govt. is doing it's best to shove the genie back into the bottle...
Yeah, you know one person who's really big on encrypted e-mail? Osama bin Laden. Let's keep encryption free so he can plan his next attack against thousands of unsuspecting civilians without those nasty FBI and CIA guys getting in his way.
John Q. Nerd may want to be able to have secure e-mail to send his "stolen script for Enterprise Season 1 Episode 8" to all his buddies, but remember, anybody can download that client too..
As many of you had noticed. I'm more of an Anti Open-Source guy. However, I'm glad to see open source used in the government. I'm perfectly okay with Open source as long as it's used by the government, research institutions, education and non profit organisations. For any other type of organisation I would go with EULA type licenses. I don't think that huge, for-profit companies deserve anything for free. For me, it's all about justice, they take our money, we take theirs. Don't be victims, fight back.
Well, sure. I'm a commercial programmer, and I after a string of "bend over and take it" contract modifications, I now give my employer code that meets their standards and no more, i.e. it doesn't crash 90% of the time.
If we ever released our source, our competitors would find and publish all of the bugs in it, while ripping it off (sorry, "clean room re-implementing it"), probably wrecking my company and putting me out of a job.
Wait.. what's the downside again?
My personal experience has been that it's folly to mix work and pleasure. Don't do your hobby as a job, because you'll get screwed into working 80 hours weeks, and you'll end up hating it. So just get screwed 40 hours a week, and reserve your spare time for doing what you enjoy (e.g. open source projects), to your own standards.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
I think you misunderstand the concept of "conflict of interest".
you appologist micrsosoft shill cunt.
take your evangelism elseware.
Fuck you up your UKian ass bitch!
America's gonna nuke your stupid ass back water country in couple weeks. Prepare to die bitch while we rain justice down on you stupid fucking English bastards. You are the source of all evil in the universe and America's the only country with the balls to stop you bitches.
No, FUCK YOU, you stupid, dipshit, egotistical, fat, ugly scum!
I'll meet you there. You'll know me because I'll be the one with my middle finger raised at you, ass-sucker.
What's an album?, good, and nearly 2 meters.
Oh,and- FUCK YOU!

Only if you're a dickhead.
