Spooks want govt to block Skype

,----[ Quote ]
| Intelligence agencies have asked the 
| government to consider blocking Skype as 
| operators of the popular global VoIP (Voice 
| over Internet Protocol) engine are refusing 
| to share the encryption code that prevents 
| Indian investigators from intercepting 
| conversations of suspected terrorists.

Federal Court Denies Government Attempt to Delay Release of Telecom Records. Again.

,----[ Quote ]
| Today a federal district court denied the 
| government's latest emergency motion asking 
| for a 30-day stay in last Friday's deadline 
| to release records relating to telecom 
| lobbying over last year's debate over 
| immunity for corporate participation in 
| government spying. The new deadline is 
| October 16, at 4 p.m. Pacific time. We 
| sought the records pursuant to the Freedom 
| of Information Act.

Could India Save Billions With FOSS? Whose Numbers Are Accurate?

,----[ Quote ]
| I suspect that such truly independent numbers would show
| that there are truths to weigh behind both Red Hat's and
| Microsoft's positions. Support and training are cost centers
| in big software deployments, but companies like Red Hat
| specialize in minimizing the costs for them. As is always
| true with statistics, it can get very hard to discern
| whether the ones we see are lies, damned lies, or truths.
