I’m just going to reply to my own post, as I came across some information (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!top...) as to why the code library has been down for so long now. Some people might still wonder and Exelis never gave any reason as to why it’s been down so long. I kept thinking, why the heck does it take them so long to put up their code library to their new website, just to find out it’s not Exelis’s fault (see the link). Seems like the code library going down at the same time, Exelis revamped their website was just a coincidence.
Just because it’s related to remote sensing, image analysis etc., it doesn’t mean that evil people will use the info on the code library to do terrible things and jeopardize national security. But I guess gvmt. officials don’t know enough and just shut it down just in case. But then, you’d have to shut down pretty much any website providing any computer code, don’t you? Sorry, just griping here…
