I for one would rather the defense department write thier own software. I have yet to see a piece of software (opensource or otherwise) that I'd trust with controlling a rocket, warhead, guidance system.... I think the NSA has made the right choice. They've got some real security minded folks there who are more than capable of auditing code. My guess is they'd lean toward opensource stuff cause there's no hassles to get access to the code (not that the NSA would have any problem with it, but it's additional steps) -- Ben Lutgens | http://people.sistina.com/~blutgens/ System Administrator | http://www.sistina.com/ Sistina Software Inc. | "I got a wife and kids too but you don't see me out here stealing Imperial Droids now do ya?" -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
