Anything that improves the efficiency and effectiveness of our forces deserves recognition. If writing code and automating or stream-lining a process is successful, write the person who did it up for a citation or medal.
I did it in the navy 20 years ago and received a NAM (Navy Achievement Award) for my efforts. Not all medals given in the military are for combat duties.
It's all because of greed. Universities have adopted corporate tactics to become and stay "more competitive in the marketplace" and that means shielding themselves from lawsuits and making themselves more appealing to donors.
...and when they don't find the proof of destruction, your company loses the contract, you get fired for not following process resulting loss of contract or the company folds due to loss of revenue because of the loss of the contract.
Don't try to find ways to cut costs or save money by skirting around your contractual obligations. You contract says to destroy the hard drives. You MUST destroy them. You WILL lose your contract if you do not.
If you have a Security department, take you concern to them or your Contracts Manager for this contract. They will tell you the same thing...especially if it's a classified program.
Did you have to sign/read/agree to/ the TOS before you were allowed to perform a web search? Neither did I or anyone else. It's not even presented as an option.
It seems to me that very few things can truly be defined as "hardware" these days. Even our hardware has software or firmware embedded in it.
I think Intel saw the $$$s and wet themselves with the joy of renewed opportunity and threw the consumer out with the bath water. Or just sold their soul to the devil.
I think you have it backwards. Winning elections is all about making more and more money while in office and when returning to "civilian" life as a highly paid consultant, VP or board of director. The process by which this is accomplished is what we're seeing in the media (fear mongoring, reduction in liberties, etc).
I just want to point out you missed it completely.
Not even from the article but from the summary above. The app is "a special RSS reader app to display EFF news on the iPhone". This app has a singular purpose therefore making it one with the source.
If your looking for something similar to Red Hat Network why don't you use the open source version of Red Hat Network, Spacewalk? All the goodness without all the mess.
My company's been doing this for years and it works just fine (Fortune 500 company with 86k employees). And all these people who say that it will just increase goofing off and laziness don't know what they're talking about. Those who will be lazy and work the system will do so no matter what the work schedule. But for those of us who actually put in the required time really appreciate having a 3 day weekend every other week.

Maybe with the volume on high.

But then he sold one.

What's there to compare? Everything else is just Notepad.

It's just Ubuntu with another stupid release name....
They are saying that they are downsizing but before it takes affect we get involved in a war. No need to downsize. Problem solved.
Sorry but people aren't asking this "obvious" question. It's just about more choice and that's a good thing.
He's turning into some super villain. Wait, he was already one. nvm...

You should use the TIOBE index http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html
Close. Federal criminal charges can be brought against someone intentionally doing this.

Yeah sure, let's hand it over to the Yanks.
What does baseball have to do with the discussion?
My condolences.

As long as there's a farting app I'm all set.
"Legit" apps sells your info just as well as the others. That's another plug of open source software.
Google comes to mind...

I seriously doubt that. Open source software has been used to develop military systems for many years now on the contractor side.
