This appeared in David Akin's article in the Monday April 7th Globe and Mail. Thanks to Tom for sending it to me. For some reason the article no longer appears on the website.


It's not only got a great quote (i've bolded it below), but David has also included the less popular, positive, use of the word 'hacker' in the headline.


(this is just the first two paragraphs of the complete article.)

U.S. military helps fund Calgary hacker



DAVID AKIN

From Monday's Globe and Mail


The U.S. military believes the work of a Calgary hacker may be its best bet to protect its computer networks from so-called cyber-terrorist attacks. And although Theo de Raadt is happy to have more than $2-million (U.S.) in research support from the U.S. military's research and development office, the source of that funding has made him more than a little uneasy.

"I actually am fairly uncomfortable about it, even if our firm stipulation was that they cannot tell us what to do. We are simply doing what we do anyways - securing software - and they have no say in the matter," Mr. de Raadt said in a recent e-mail exchange. "I try to convince myself that our grant means a half of a cruise missile doesn't get built."

Here's the link to the posted article in case it works later on.
