On: Is Extended Random a Malicious NSA Plot?

[ghshephard]

Can anyone figure out whether USG is Unix Systems Group or United States Government. (I think we're safe in assuming they aren't United States Gypsum (though, from my trips through Empire to Gerlach, that was the first thing that came to mind)). [Edit - if you read through the entire (epic and wonderful resource) article, United States Government is used where USG might be - so I think we are safe in assuming it is United States Government. tptacek, might be worth introducing the acronym at the beginning.]

I thought it was the US Government.

USG is a fairly widely used initialism for United States Government in some circles.
