CIA Declassifies the "Family Jewels"

An anonymous reader informs us that the CIA has recently declassified for your reading pleasure some records relating to illegal spying, assassination attempts, and other goodies. These are available from the CIA's FOIA portal. From the BBC article: " Last week, CIA chief Michael Hayden announced the decision to declassify the records, saying the documents were 'unflattering but part of CIA history.' The documents detail assassination plots, domestic spying, wiretapping, and kidnapping... Among the documents is a request in 1972 for someone 'who was accomplished at picking locks' who might be retiring or resigning from the agency."

And if you don't know what bash and cron are for, GTFO, go back to OS 9.

I might add that if you didn't notice that resource forks completely hosed most useful UNIX utilities in OS X (I'm including you, Apple engineers), you should probably go on that list as well. I congratulate Apple for noticing that abysmal failure well after the rest of us did. Oh wait, this is supposed to be a "Yay! OS X is UNIX!" cheer fest. My bad.

Wow. I totally deserve to be modded down for this. At least I'll de-apply the karma bonus.
