Does anybody here really believe the NSA spent how many years (?) and untold millions of dollars developing the technology for no good reason? Amazing, just amazing. Shocked? Maybe. Disappointed? Yes. Surprised? No.
More relevant questions might be:
1) Does everyone need NSA-level security and the accompanying issues?
2) How many more years and millions will it take to adapt the
decades-worth of tradtional unix tools and applications that Linux users
take for granted to a wildly different security model?
3) How much of #2 do you want to do yourself?
