Every permitted open source project is thoroughly inspected and vetted before it is cleared for use.
Inserting malicious code is a concern, but it does not answer the question why you can not farm out DoD work to foreign shops.
The requirements and design of most DoD projects are classified as sensitive. The rules for sensitive material state that it may not be distributed to any foreign national.
Beyond that, there is a legal requirement for federal projects (and most state projects) that work be performed domestically. This is mostly for economic reasons.
As a contractor you REALLY aught to know this already.
No, I had no idea. I keep hearing about how every WW2 video game has to be censored to remove the symbols. And there was a recent history channel WW2 documentary that claimed that much of its footage is not allowed to air in Germany.
Venus can't hold hydrogen because at that temperature a sufficiently high percentage of hydrogen atoms have velocities above the escape velocity of the planet.
How is what I am saying "hate filled retoric"? It isn't hate filled rhetoric to call an evil, corrupt and two faced person/group/system evil corrupt and two faced. It is called being honest. I have not said one hateful thing, not made one personal attack.
And what is this "other team" am I batting for? Rationality? Awareness? Freedom? Justice? Good? DAMN RIGHT I AM.
I have an ethical responsibility to speak out against irrationality, evil, corruption, deception and hate when I see it. I may not be able to defeat them, but I will make damn sure that everyone sees them for what they really are. You can cry and spit and scream about how horrible I am for confronting your bullshit all you want. I will not be silent. I will not submit. I will not relent. It won't change my defiance, my righteous indignation.

Obama is hardly the exact opposite of Bush. He has slightly darker skin and curlier hair, but most of his actual policy is aligned with Bush to within a few percent.
He is probably in China, and therefore does not know that the last Nobel peace prize was given to a "terrorist" under house arrest for the unthinkable crime of handing out leaflets that were not 100% supportive of his glorious leaders.
the guy who got 10% of several hundred peoples income kept that on the down low
Probably less than 1% unless your church met in alleys or parks and had no charitable giving programs. There are a lot of legitimate expenditures whenever you get a lot of people together on a regular basis on land that their group owns, to sing songs that they probably have to pay performance licensing fees for.
Also, Jesus didn't teach "Death to the Pharasees!" or "Death to the Pagans!". The closest he got was telling his followers to buy swords before he was crucified (a caution that they'll need to defend themselves, not attack others).
its there, you just have to know what to look for.
It's not there at all, and my guess is you're reading your own beliefs into their comments.
I am not talking about what Jesus taught. I am talking about what christian fundamentalists teach. I was an insider, I was one of them. I know first hand how evil, corrupt and two faced they are. If you are a "compassionate christian" you likely have no idea what is happening on the other side of your faith, both through inexperience and willful ignorance.
It is hard to tell if Jesus was a good hearted crazy guy who thought he was the son of god, or if he was a manipulator pushing his political agenda (however benign it may or may not have been) by taking advantage of peoples faith and superstitions. If you can't see a major divergence between christian dogma and the handful good things that Jesus had to say, you need to open your eyes.
I grew up in a christian fundamentalist church. And that is what they preached (except the wealthy part, the guy who got 10% of several hundred peoples income kept that on the down low). This is far, far more common than you think. A lot of these groups don't preach the hardcore stuff publicly or use euphemisms and innuendo to set a tone without explicitly calling for the inquisition to start burning heretics at the stake. But its there, you just have to know what to look for.
An Islamic government abdicates all authority to Islamic religious leaders. Leaders (and followers) who believe that their words are the words of god and are therefore absolute law. When you have a tiny cabal of wealthy religious people making all decisions for a nation because it is the will of their god, you don't have a real democracy even if voting is allowed because the only opinions that matter are those of the religious leaders.
America is not a western liberal democracy. It is western, absolutely not liberal, and a democracy in name only. The following statements are true:
The Islamic fundamentalists in the Middle East seek to establish a global caliphate, convert or execute all infidels, overthrow reason and science, rescind the last thousand years of social and ethical progress, and have all people submit to the absolute authority of a few wealthy imam.
The Christian fundamentalists in the US seek to establish a global church, convert or execute all heathens, overthrow reason and science, rescind the last thousand years of social and ethical progress, and have all people submit to the absolute authority of a few wealthy preachers.

Because foreign nationals are not permitted to view sensitive information.
And your company can do development overseas, just not for the DoD.
The DoD makes extensive use of open source software and has policies in place governing (but not forbidding) employees contributions to OS projects.
<humor>Exactly, the solution to this problem is not robots, its Mexicans. </humor>
Then why does any video game where the enemies are Nazi's have to be edited to remove the symbols before it can be allowed in Germany?
What? I am completely failing to make sense of what you are writing in relation to my post.
You lived and died under the nazi flag for a couple decades.
Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it.
I was referring to documentaries or fiction taking place in the context of WW2, not "white pride" BS.
No. I would expect the holders of the domain to face extraordinary rendition to abu grabe and then be tortured to death under bush.
Even better, Germany seizing US domains that show images of the nazi flag in a historical context. That is also illegal in Germany from what I hear.
Your not a real man if you don't know how to use a Command Line Interface Terminal...

As atheists, You and I are mostly physically safe, for now.
If things keep going the way they are, the US could be as bad of an oppressive theocracy as the worst parts of the middle east within our lifetime.

Right. Given what we actually know about B. Franklin. The only thing we can say for sure is that he would be into hookers and blow.

By '94 I had real internet at home on a 14k modem and my older brother had been dialing BBS's for over a decade on a 300 baud modem.
Silly. A phone line is the gesture used on the iPhone to launch the default phone app.
