CIA Software Developer Goes Open Source, Instead
jamie found this piece, at Wired's Danger Room from a couple of days back, about an encouraging sign for the growth of open source in the military / intelligence sphere. "For three years, Matthew Burton has been trying to get a simple, useful software tool into the hands of analysts at the Central Intelligence Agency. For three years, haggling over the code’s intellectual property rights has kept the software from going anywhere near Langley. So now, Burton’s releasing it — free to the public, and under an open source license."

Fuck systemd. Fuck Redhat. Fuck Soylent, too. Wait, scratch the last one.
Fuck off. If a word to the wise isn't enough for you, then you aren't very smart.
I'm looking for a word from the wise, and so far I've seen no evidence that there will be any.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
