Don't Worry, We're Not From The Government

Posted by timothy on from the small-comforts dept.

PolarBear3 writes "It seems that MSNBC.com is reporting that the government (U.S.) is looking to the private sector to data mine against it's [citizens|terrorists] since they are prevented by law from doing so themselves. Two quotes: 'People in the government, very much so in the Justice Department, have been playing out a lust for information that is not consistent with who we have been as a nation' & 'A range of laws limits how government can collect and use information on its citizens. The private sector, by contrast, operates under fewer restrictions.' Seems to show a nation fighting itself."

  4. DUKE NUKEM 3D SOURCE CODE RELEASED! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I submitted the news to Slashdot but I'm betting they won't post my submission and if they DO post an article about it it will probably be from somebody else, hours or days later from now so here you go and ENJOY!

    Quoted from http://www.3drealms.com/index.shtml

    "we've released the source code to Duke Nukem 3D.
    Available now for download, the source code is being released under the GPL license - we still retain copyright on the game (plus we still sell Duke Nukem 3D). This is one of the most requested things of us over the years, and we decided that now was the time. In the archive are some thoughts about Duke Nukem 3D by Scott Miller & George Broussard of 3D Realms. You can check out the readme here before downloading the entire archive.

    The folks reading this who aren't programmers probably won't have any interest in this release, but those who are programmers might want to check it out. A big thanks go out to all the Duke Nukem fans around the world who have waited for this. We hope you enjoy it!"
