This is an interesting article that shows how the proprietary software
monoculture can have weird effects on some other monoculture, such as
military culture :)

And, regarding American strategy in Afghanistan and Iraq, it might say
that using wrong tools, no matter what you are trying to achieve and how
good or bad your attention may be, is never a clever option.

I agree that is a bit out of topic, but yet it is interesting to discuss
the effects of software (and Free Software) on social processes of
building projects and achieving things (or the lack of achievement, in
the case of US military :))

Best,
Hugo
