NSA Makes Contribution To Apache Hadoop Project 102
An anonymous reader writes "The National Security Agency has submitted a new database, Accumulo, to the Apache Foundation for incubation. Accumulo is based on the original BigTable paper with some extensions such as the ability to provide cell-level security. It appears there are some hurdles that must be cleared concerning copyright before the project could be accepted."

It's a trap! It HAS to be. /tinfoil
No, no, it's not a trap, not in the slightest. Just insert your penis into this device... I assure you, it's not a meat-grinder, really, it's not! And I didn't have my fingers crossed when I said that, not even a little bit.

Well, OK, whatever, so what does meat-grinder mean in Swedish? Slang for some body orifice, I'm guessing from context.
No. It means a meat-grinder, or köttkvarn - the mechanical device which turns lumps of meat into ground meat or minced meat.
Pro tip: don't stick your dick into one of these.

How do you "submit" a databse?
It turns out that if you read sentences all the way to the end, they become a lot more clear.

Most competent sysadmins try to do their best to secure their system, and those worth their salt, succeed to do so.
So, um. What does that make the kernel.org guys? ;)
Yeah, I thought so.
