Sad. IIRC they wanted to do SSL-based VPN. Now they can pay for it! Fuckers.

OpenSSL in January became one of the first open-source software products to be validated under NIST’s Computer Module Validation Program for FIPS-140-2. The certificate apparently was suspended in June when questions were raised about the validated module’s interaction with outside software elements.

Why don't they examine the source? :P

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.
