I would gather the Intelligence Community had been using the term for decades hitherto.
I remember an unclassified "Open Source" mini-convention in D.C. some years back. Some programmer attended thinking it was something else and complained about how "evil" they were, collecting Intel from "open sources".
I run Devuan on my home computer and seems to run OK, no big issues. I don't do much either except LibreOffice and a Browser, maybe the occasional scan and GIMP.
One thing about the Devuan community, they were strangely silent when I first tried to contact them after my first install, so I gave up. Many of their web pages also told me 404 on their links.
I update with Synaptic. Funny thing about Synaptic on Devuan. You only get the Title line of a program in the description window. There are no descriptions. If you want to find out what a program does, you have to google it up and hopefully the program name you're looking for isn't some common word.
I think Edwin A. Abbott summed it all up in his short story 133 years ago. If a two dimensional being cannot imagine a three dimensional being, and when it does meet one, it only sees two of the three dimensions and the three dimensional guy can see the two dimensional's innards.. So much the same for us, when we meet a fourth dimensional being, we will only see three, and it will see our guts.
I'm agreeing with the above post. I keep saying in my last two posts on the Muskovites, I'm guessing they can't pay their bills. And if you can't make payroll, that's a big legal hit. Better to avoid the problem than be hit by mandatory liability.
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea There's a hole in the bottom of the sea There's a hole, there's a hole There's a hole in the bottom of the sea
There's a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea There's a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea There's a log, there's a log There's a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea
There's a branch on the log...
There's a bump on the branch...
There's a frog on the bump...
There's a tail on the frog...
There's a speck on the tail...
There's a fleck on the speck...
So let's flick the fleck, brush the speck Twist the tail, pet the frog Flatten the bump, break the branch burn the log, fill the hole in the bottom of the sea!

I guess that's why the Federation was always mining and trading in di-lithium crystals! The doubling di- would make them twice as difficult!
So, what to they use for DOMESTIC spies?
Only one mispronunciation from a different set of criteria.

Apparently everything is working as planned.
In one of Harry Harrison's books Slippery Jim diGriz hides out in an automated fast food outlet. He simply took food from the automated dispensers.
I too am at this age. But I'm the legacy mainframe guy and Windows/Linux/Mac are someone else's jobs.

In Virginia you can Audit (no credit) classes for free as a senior citizen over 60.
AND, if you're a senior citizen with an income of less than $21K, you can take the courses for regular credit.
(Books are not free however.)
I think this was also on slashdot last year:

Does he not have minions for that?
Subject germane.
Prompted by MangoCats' comment about broadcast irrelevance under subject "Hopefully". Which everyone ignored in favor of sugar content.
MANMAN is proprietary, been around since the 1970s and runs on FORTRAN.
All it does is make drive MRP, I don't think it does any surveillance. Except maybe lot and serial number tracking. And that's an add-on module.

Now we know why Hong Kong has never had a vampire problem.
Its Scotch, there is no "E" in their WHISKY.
If it was From Ireland, Kentucky or Tennesee, yes there could be an "E" in it.

Just like the cops in the movie.
Back on the 8th, there was an earler Slashdot story: GM Exec Says Elon Musk's Self-Driving Car Claims Are 'Full of Crap'
In which I asked: "Speaking of credit, how is their accounts payble, and do they pay their bills?"
I'm guessing they simply couldn't make payroll, and this also solved the problem.
Imagine a scenario where all the CO2 in the local area becomes depleted, then someone lights a cigarette.
It won't be one of those 7 minute cigarettes!

Because we need it like a hole in the sea
See?
Otherwise the Title would start with: Slashdot is ...
It isn't the ads, its the reduced content over time they used to offer. Show I've seen over the years simply "go missing" what's up with that?
