Didn't this used to be the NSA's "job"? It would be best to at least provide links to stories about all the worthless junk Homeland Security buys too (usually for local police departments). Nyarlathotep 18:29, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

They're actually not helping secure the code. They're helping find bugs. Actually, they're paying some companies to develop proprietary software to check for potential bugs, but aren't paying the free-software developers to fix them. -- Phyzome is [[User talk:Phyzome|Tim McCormack]] 19:17, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
