  1. BotNet for good on Storm Worm More Powerful Than Top Supercomputers · · Score: 2, Funny

    What if the botnet was for good? The ends justifying the means. What if the botnet was weilded to provide free open internet access to all people in all countries reguardless of what their government wanted? What if the botnet was used map the human genome, ultimatly leading to cures/vaciens to things like aids and cancer and priapism? Is there a glass half full to this? skip

  2. Re:Blind knee jerk self-defence reactions.. on Open Source In Public Sector Meeting Opposition · · Score: 2, Informative

    True that this is confined to the executive agencies. The executive agencies account for over 100 of the state agencies. It is good that the commonwealth has a mature policy and standard adoption process. It involves getting the advice and input from all effected parties. In fact, many of the state agencies that will be effected by this had an opportunity to give their input on the standard/model. That is exactly why it is worded the way it is...it gives each agency the opportunity make their own implementation. And if they can't, feasibly, do it....they can apply to the CIO for a variance. This move to the Open Document format is GREAT, it will help all, and hurt no one.
