DARPA Grant Cancelled for OpenBSD and U-Penn? 653
Starrider writes "It seems the DARPA grant for OpenBSD and for University of Pennsylvania has been cancelled (?) immediately and without warning. See the full story in Theo's email and on deadly.org." Theo is left to only speculate why funding was suddenly pulled. One also has to wonder what this means for the University of Pennsylvania, since they were also in for a piece of the pie.

I think I'll start another "distribution" of BSD. It'll be called AbiertoBSD and it'll be based in D.F. The strong points of AbiertoBSD will derive from its being built out of used car parts from the local pick-aparts in my neighborhood.
Just kidding. Everyone who has read a lot of my posts knows that I like BSD a lot more than Linux, despite the fact that I use Linux for many tasks. Oh yeah... and don't talk smack on my country!

Meanwhile, in some other part of the country, some contractor for DARPA is placing an order for $5 million worth of Microsoft Office because the damn thing keeps saying it's not activated. Our government really needs to get its head out of its politicians' asses.

And, fear not good citizens, CNN.com was right on the ball, since they had already prepared the obituary on their web server [thesmokinggun.com] sometime last month.

While it may be possible to make secure software and be a "nice guy", I'll believe it when I see it (and maybe not even then;)
Considering the territory, Theo actually seems pretty mellow.
