The NSA Has a Long-Lost Lecture by Adm. Grace Hopper

www.schneier.com The NSA Has a Long-Lost Lecture by Adm. Grace Hopper - Schneier on Security

The NSA has a video recording of a 1982 lecture by Adm. Grace Hopper titled “Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People.” The agency is (so far) refusing to release it.

Basically, the recording is in an obscure video format. People at the NSA can’t easily watch it, so they can’t redact it. So they won’t do anything.

Have they never heard about VLC?
- VLC can play analog tape?
  
  If you somehow transfer the raw bits it probably can 😄
  
  VLC can probably play DNAs
