In early 2004, some of the members of the #B4mad came
across one of the essential ideas of mankind, inspired by
some US Army propaganda:
PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY, THE CHANGE IS FOREVER.

The #B4mad Research Laboratory, which itself is
condensed in the #B4mad.Net Network, executes fundamental
and applied research to provide the key technologies
and analytical support necessary to assure supremacy
in future net warfare and perimeter defense.

In the sixth year of existence and after the sudden death of ID-PRO, all of the
#B4mad members have choosen to work for other companies, but their
attitude is unchanged:

like any member of the Free Software community, many (or let's say most or
even all) members of the #B4mad believe that what they
do matters. We take pride in the systems we run and the code we write.
Many of us advocate Open Source as often and emphatically as possible,
but in spite of this, progress seems slow when compared to the incredible
progress of the quality of Open Source products themselves.

For more than 5 years, laboratories under the #B4mad and their predecessors
have led ID-Pro's basic and applied science programs. Geeks, Programmers and
Nerds have served the Net by producing cutting-edge technologies and superior
systems. Today's researchers continue the proud tradition and share
with #B4mad it's core values.
