Homeland Stupidity is great and reminding us that the security and intelligence community in the United States is insecure and of questionable intelligence.
The military intelligence unit responsible for spying on Americans had to evacuate its Fort Meade, Md., offices Friday after a six-alarm fire broke out.
A fire broke out shortly after 3 p.m. on the [...]

cURL is an application that can be used to retrieve any Internet file that uses the standard URL format — http://, ftp://, gopher://, etc. Its power and flexibility can be added to applications by using the libcurl library, whose API can be accessed easily using most of the commonly used scripting and programming languages.
