Somehow I think Theo will find some way to get the project done. He was doing fine before the DARPA project.

Why the difference in the characterization? --On Saturday, April 19, 2003 09:10:53 AM -0500 Curt Purdy <purdyat_private> wrote: > Unfortunately, one of the things that seems to have been overlooked in > this political discussion, which I believe does not have a place in this > technical forum, is that a great and sorely needed project is in jeopardy. > OpenBSD is generally considered one of the most secure network operating > systems available today, and that is even before the recent announcement > of the new resistance, if not vulnerability to buffer overflows which can > be considered the holy grail of programming. > > Whether you feel da Raadt was wrong for expressing his views on peace, or > that DARPA was wrong for politicizing a technical project, the point here > should be that the entire technical world is the loser...
