Government Funds Secret Sustainable Computing
SEWilco writes "OSDN's NewsForge reports that Carnegie Mellon University has started a Sustainable Computing Consortium to improve the quality and security of software.
The only news release is that NASA gave CMU $23 million to help create dependable software.
SCC members get an internal-use license for SCC software. So taxpayers are paying millions to create proprietary software, and companies get access for a few thousand dollars.
(There is some blurring between CMU's SCC and CMU's High Dependability Computing Consortium, although HDCC's web site has been idle for a year.)"
That's such a hippie word you should let them off the hook for not GPLing everything. Silly treehuggers. ;)
That's my money they are using to fill the pockets of the rich.
And this is a post.

who the F calls it "carnegie" I was there for 4 years... its "cmu"(unless your getting sued by central michigan) "carnegie mellon" or, my personal favorite, "the mellon"
Dude, you are making a logical fallacy.
If A implies B (ie. if something is secret then it is proprietary) does not mean B implies A (if it is proprietary then it is secret). It also does not mean ~A imples ~B (if it is not secret then it is not proprietary).
Secrecy has nothing to do with proprietaryness: the whole point of the patent system is to have proprietary techniques open for all to read.
A professor at the University of Mississippi is giving a
lecture on the supernatural. To get a feel for his
audience, he asks: "How many people here believe in
ghosts?" About 90 students raise their hands.
"Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who
believe in ghosts, do any of you think you've ever seen
a ghost?" About 40 students raise their hands.
"That's really good. Has anyone here ever talked to a
ghost?" 15 students raise their hands.
"That's great. Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" 3
students raise their hands.
"That's fantastic. But let me ask you one question
further... Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?"
One student way in the back raises his hand.
The professor is astonished and says, "Son, all the
years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever
claimed to have slept with a ghost. You've got to come
up here and tell us about your experience."
The redneck student replies with a nod and a grin, and
begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor
says, "Well, tell us what it's like to have sex with
ghost."
The student replies, "Ghost?!? From way back there ah
thought you said "goats."
Taxse? Is that like goatse?
FUCK ME IN MY WELL-TaX0R3D BUTTERY TIGHT GOAT HOLE! AUDIT MY HOT CRISCO-LACED MAN ORIFICE, BITCH!
lameness filter sucks lameness filter sucks lameness filter sucks
Your goathole as my hot, tight crisco-lubricated playground.
My initial theroy was that it was related to the mother/son conflict manifesting in the moderators.
I recieved a research grant from VA Goatse.cx to study this phenomena, and discovered that it was actually caused by pent-up frustration resulting from the inability to get laid (aka ``blue balls'') causing the poor moderation. Since these moderators can't get any ass, their only satisfaction is in moderating down other posts.
This post also serves as a test case -- watch how fast it gets moderated down!
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
