FDIC sends a big F-U: completely blacked out documents in response to
WaMu takeover freedom of information requests
,----[ Quote ]
| Tim Ellis sez, "Completely inexcusable
| 'transparency' from the FDIC, releasing
| hundreds of totally blacked-out docs in
| response to a Freedom of Information Act
| request about the closure of Washington
| Mutual. 'An unprecedented level of
| openness in Government' indeed."

Does Open Source Software Put Government Security at Risk?
,----[ Quote ]
| So, the answer to the question is, no. Using
| open source software in government, in private
| business or at home actually puts you at less
| risk.
|
| The Obama Administration is moving in the
| right direction, as are many other of the
| world's governments, by transitioning away
| from proprietary software and using software
| that is cost-free and open source.
| Maybe once the trend is set, private
| businesses will follow the example and adopt
| open source software for their use as well.
|
| Now there's some change I can believe in.
