Yes, the NSA stuff is a big deal, but saying that we're paying taxes to Microsoft and the NSA? Even if you mean taxes in a figurative sense, someone would be getting money from the WMF to buy hardware, and if the NSA can backdoor Dell, they could easily backdoor whatever hardware that gets used instead, if they really wanted to. Arguably, cheaper or in-house hardware could end up being easier to backdoor or exploit. - -- Sincerely, Andrew "FastLizard4" Adams <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:FastLizard4> <[email protected]> GPG Key ID: 0x221A627DD76E2616 On 12/29/2013 4:55 AM, James Salsman wrote: > Can we please stop paying the Microsoft and NSA taxes and start buying > datacenter equipment which costs a lot less?
