Isn't life funny some times?
`` The so-called LAMP stack of open-source software has a lower bug density--the number of bugs per thousand lines of code--than a baseline of 32 open-source projects analyzed, Coverity, a maker of code analysis tools, announced Monday.''

This IS so funny, because all the people of the the highly-"gifted" club, people of the ilk of 'No_Ax_not_brain...", or the ShadyBrain or reinstalled_brain, etc. (I apologize for all the people I left out...;-) ) used to scream repeatedly that the LAMPs is proof positive that OSS is just garbage and the "most hacked s/w stack", etc.


``The U.S. Department of Homeland Security awarded $1.24 million in funding to Stanford University, Coverity and Symantec to hunt for security bugs in open-source software and to improve Coverity's commercial tool for source code analysis. The funding, announced in January, is for a three-year "Open Source Hardening Project." ''

Gee... what do these people at Stanford know about .... s/w design principles and measuring the quality of algorithms and their implementations? It is not as if D. Knuth is with them... (WAIT! D. Knuth IS at Stanford! happy )


Isn't life funny some times?
