Interesting debate. However: - I doubt that the EU meant to directly investigate the pentagon, the opposite might have some history. - The argument that there is redundancy and therefore it is safe is incomplete to say the least. For instan

I've just realized that nano was initially released in 1999! Apparently, they just copied pico key bindings, that was used as an extremely light editor. For the rest, there is to me a cultural divide between a sysadmin/dev culture
