Is Tripwire Still Relevent?
Deagol asks "I work for a good-sized University. I've heard that Tripwire and our software licensing department is negotiating for a site-license. I was asked to comment on whether our department would like to buy in. I personally lost interest in Tripwire when they went commercial (I guess seeing a well-respected research tool go proprietary soured the milk for me), and though I've toyed briefly with the 'open source' version, I mainly have experience with the Academic Source Release. Seeing how their demo is only a 'simulation' (how lame is that?), I can't get a feel for what the commercial version can really do for me. Does anyone know the value (if any) of commercial Tripwire over the free one; Are there open source packages that have made Tripwire obsolete?"
The proper spelling is "relevant", Cliff.

Oh, I agree it is off-topic, but it's relevant to a larger issue -- the mistakes look silly, and even sillier is the truculent refusal to fix typos, and even sillier is (as I suspect but hope not) the editor modding down the critic. Typos are are not the result of foolishness, but refusing to acknowledge them?
It's like ketchup on your tie -- off-topic, distracting, and unprofessional. Note that this is not posted as an anonymous coward. I sincerely believe what I'm saying and am not just sniping.
