Still talking about anything other than free software from NASA that goes straight to communist governments I see. And no, I don't care who your favorite Russian hacker is.

Why has it never bothered you when Microsoft's software goes straight to communist governments?

Were you bothered when Microsoft showed the chicoms their win-source-dows?

Actually, it goes out into the scientific community, and as the scientific community is generally open, people like China can use it too. BTW, I don't believe China is doing Beowulf. As you found out in a response to another of your lying posts, they're using proprietary Myrinet and a customized commercial Linux.

And no, I don't care who your favorite Russian hacker is.

You don't care about Russian hacker software being in much of the military's 'nix installations? I thought you were worried about that kind of thing. Face it, you simply don't know what you're talking about. Your xenophobia is completely unrealistic in this modern world where some very good software originates outside of this country. And if it's open source, a government doesn't have to worry about back doors (which is the reason China wanted a peek at the Windows code).

So when are you going to stop using that which is so inferior and damaging to our economy and our nation's security? You're contributing to our downfall by continuing to use it.
