No, Gemini and Mercury were the programs that taught NASA that they needed a requirements based approach instead of agile.

Yes it was, in conjunction with IBM under Bill Tindall according to NASA history Howard W. "Bill" Tindall started with Mercury and Gemini ground software and later made a significant contribution to the quality of the Apollo on-board software. It wasn't called "Agile" back then however the contribution of quality were Agile components like iterations and time boxes. That's why I referred to "Agile" with it's collective name - capital "A" instead of "agile".

We learned from killing a few people and blowing up a bunch of rockets that we needed a better design approach.

So point to the specific incidents where a software problem killed people in NASA's space programs.

I continue to hear this and see absolutely no evidence of it. I see evidence to the contrary, in the US, India and Europe, over the last 20 years. Generally, it's RPM/RH that is first listed. It's not alphabetical. This isn't because they are lucky. The simple explanation is that RH is the most frequently used and therefore put at the top as a simple matter of UI layout (most common choices go to the top of a list, within reason).

Here: http://investors.redhat.com/re...
You can also see the report from CA, where they make more in a quarter than a full year of RH: http://www.ca.com/us/news/pres...

This is a fun game, pick me a list that shows more Debian love!

If you rank popularity from the links of the packages, you provably are missing something. I'm a FreeBSD/OpenBSD user, some of the development of Nginx was done in FreeBSD, and you don't even see packages for it in your list. See the flaw in your methodology?

I notice you say all that but "forget" to tell us if you have a typing diploma APK? Could it be because you don't have one? APK, diploma-less "ne'er-do-well" rofl NAPK showed you here -> https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3083489&cid=41179623

P.S => Visual BASIC 3? ROFL!!

P.P.S => For the "trolls" Big O is a measure of complexity, whereby the length of time, measured in cycles, of a looped operation is compared to the amount of data being processed. For example, a hash lookup is O(1), a search through a list is O(N) (because the number of operations is proportional, on average, to the number of items), and a bubblesort is O(n!) (I think, I can't remember, it's been a while since I did this.) The reason it's relevant to a hosts file generator is that if you use the wrong algorithms, you'll find that the length of time it takes to process your initial hosts list will increase exponentially, or worse, as you add more hosts.

P.P.P.S => That wasn't really for the "trolls", that was for you APK. I thought you might need it explaining to you.

P.P.P.P.S => FOUR MILLION CLOCK CYCLES PER HOSTNAME? Seriously? LOL! Do you have a real computer science degree APK or one you bought from an online college? ROFL etc.

Google for Configuration Management Database software / solutions. Most corporate tools come with a sniffer / loader utiliy to scan the network, hook in or plug into servers and devices and update the CMDB in relative real time.

If you have no idea, start with the wikipedia article on CMDB: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMDB

A configuration management database (CMDB) is a repository of information related to all the components of an information system. It contains the details of the configuration items (CI) in the IT infrastructure. Although repositories similar to CMDBs have been used by IT departments for many years, the term CMDB stems from ITIL. In the ITIL context, a CMDB represents the authorized configuration of the significant components of the IT environment. A CMDB helps an organization understand the relationships between these components and track their configuration. The CMDB is a fundamental component of the ITIL framework's Configuration Management process. CMDB implementations often involve federation, the inclusion of data into the CMDB from other sources, such as Asset Management, in such a way that the source of the data retains control of the data. Federation is usually distinguished from Extract, transform, load (ETL) solutions in which data is copied into the CMDB.

Also have a look at what a configuration item is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_item

Have a play around with a free CMDB product if you like. OneCMDB is easy to get, setup and experiment with - http://www.onecmdb.org/

Major IT software vendors sell CMDB software, in the case of CA and HP it is part for their ITIL / ITSM tool - eg, http://www.ca.com/in/cmdb.aspx

With CMDB software I look for the following features: 1) Web interface, 2) Ability to easily load / unload / update data to the CMDB, 3) Ability to grant different levels of user admin, update and read access to the CMDB (preferably via web interface), 4) Tool to scan the network, determine or extract information, and upload the CMDB CIs (server names, server IP, hard drive space, physical ram, etc etc), 5) Ability to define users as CIs

A CMDB can relate configuration items in terms of how they relate to each other. Very useful in problem and incident management.

Quick overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITIL#Service_asset_and_configuration_management

Places like http://cmtf.com/ offer formal training and certification for Configuration Management. Does not cover specific product, but the theory of CM.

Why isn't "ping" listed thus? It could issue a "ping of death".

No, it can't. Do you even know what the "ping of death" is?

Why isn't Spybot Search & Destroy?? It alters a HOSTS file.

Because there's nothing wrong with software modifying the HOSTS file per-se, especially in the context of actually trying to remove malware.

Your app got blacklisted because it hid running applications. And who blacklisted it? Amongst others:

It may be that the reason for APK's existence is to serve as a warning to others.

Ever done anything bad, completely unintentionally? Alexander Peter Kowalski fits the bill. He's the author of a tool, apkapp2backgrounddaemonprocessengine, considered malware by a large number of anti-malware companies and organizations. He probably wrote it in good faith, but the reality is that it's a product that can be used easily and effectively to hide spyware on a computer. So many anti-malware organizations have flagged it as majorly dangerous.

So if you read material by APK, just remember that while he apparently has a lot of degrees in computer something or other, he's not terribly smart when it comes to the whole forward thinking thing.

You may not like it, you may have done it accidentally (though with your determination to slander the anti-malware community and promote snake-oil "anti-virus" solutions with demonstrable flaws, and an unwillingness to address those flaws, suggests bad faith on your part), but you are, objectively, an author of software considered malware by the wider community.

Libel kinda sorta requires the allegation be false. The allegation you write malware does, well, appear to be true now, doesn't it?

Oh look, it's the troll that's been stalking Clone53421, Squiggleslash, and Tom Hudson.

squiggleslash = malware maker? (Score:1)

That's an interesting claim given it's from the author (or someone pretending to be a "fan" of the "author") of apkapp2backgrounddaemonprocessengine.exe:

There is one person involved in this conversation who has written software identified as "malware" by the security community. That person is the one promoting the idea of using a HOSTS file to block malware. That same person says that even after using HOSTS the way they claim, they're getting hit by two viruses a month, two more than the vast majority of Windows users.

Your gall is astonishing.

No, a good reason for putting down HOSTS as a solution to anything is when the person proposing it as a "solution" admits it doesn't work by admitting that using the scheme they get two viruses a month, which is two more than the vast majority of Windows users.

I suspect the real reason why you're proposing HOSTS is because you're desperate to prevent people giving money to the anti-malware companies. And why would that be?

(...there's quite a few more links too. Want me to post more? Just ask!)

Well, if you're not a spyware maker then obviously it's unfortunate, but in the US libel does require an element of malice, and from some quick Googling, it does appear that multiple sources believe you are, indeed, a spyware author. They may or may not be correct, but someone can legitimately, in good faith, say you are one because it's very easy to believe you are.

I say this because I googled "Alexander Peter Kowalski". The very first link is this one:

How to Respond When People Threaten to Sue You on the Web.

Now, in the above posting, you threaten the author of a spyware removal tool because his tool (and apparently others too) have identified one of your programs as being spyware. As with Jeremy Reimer and, indeed, Clone here, you were, apparently quick to yell "Libel", and your responses appear (to me - and I'm just giving you my honest opinion, this is how you're coming across to me) as hysterical and nutty. The impression anyone reading the article gets is not "My, Mr Kowalski has been given a very rough time, poor thing.", but "Some Spyware manufacturer is trying to intimidate anti-spyware people."

And, for what it's worth, doing some googling on the executable described by the above link continues the theme whereby apparently rather a lot of people are under the impression your software is spyware. The first eight links I get when I Google are all from anti-spyware organizations, and the other two on the first page aren't flattering either.

Coupled with the fact that respected agencies such as CA are apparently standing behind their claim your software is spyware, there is nothing libelous about Clone's viewpoint. It might be wrong, I can't comment, I've never been privileged enough to have your software on my PC (I'm a GNU/Linux guy personally), but it's not a malicious written falsehood that damages your reputation.

So, no, Clone isn't libeling anyone here. Here's what to do about it if you're telling the truth:

• Take a step back. Honestly, take a deep breath, and stop getting angry.
• Determine why CA and others believe your software to be spyware. If there's an innocent explanation, give it. If there isn't, well, the difference between a spyware author who harasses those who point it out, and one who keeps quiet, is that more people hear about the allegations against the stalker.
• Be the man. You've upset a number of people, and a quick Google reveals it to be more than Jeremy Reimer and Clone over here. If your software is being tagged as spyware then it rather suggests that intentionally or not, you've also upset a number of people who use your software. Fess up, fix the issues, and take some steps to mend fences between you and your critics.

I'm saying this not because I think you will, but because it's what you have to do. At this point, Alexander Peter Kowalski's name is mud. It's mud not so much because someone got confused and thought you were making spyware when really you were making the coolest app evah, but because you haven't handled the criticism of the app particularly well.

Are you saying that I am a spyware maker/malware maker?

(Yes or No is the only answer needed)

Oh, really? Care to show me a legal precedent OR ruling of that being the case, were I switching IP addresses to overcome the "10 posts per 24 hour limit" on AC users? I sign off as APK, so I am NOT "misrepresenting myself" here, in case you hadn't noticed, lol!

(Now, on "changing IP addy"? Uhm, who says I am doing THAT anyhow to beat the restriction - and so what IF I did? I could just as easily say I turned off my modem & PC, & upon restarting it?? I have a new IP address... pretty simple - I'd like to see you backup that b.s., with legal evidence to what you said, because, anyone can turn off their modem & upon restarting be assigned a new IP address, assuming they don't have a STATIC IP!)

Produce some US legal documentation of what you just said... thanks! I, for one, would like to see it - because it appaernty wouldn't account for folks that keep their power off when not using a system... so, show us your LEGAL proof of what you stated now above, ok?

And, yes, my apps' still there (zero threat levels though - it CAN be "misused" though, this happens to the "best of us", see below in fact)

http://www.ca.com/us/securityadvisor/pest/pest.aspx?id=51276

They list it - with ZERO threat levels... EVEN THOUGH I PASSED EVERY ONE OF THEIR 21 QUESTIONS FOR REMOVAL!

(It happens - Just as they do to others' wares, such as Nir Sofer's wares (he has this happen ALL THE TIME, wrongfully, because his apps are good, & just like PING could issue a "ping of death"? His apps may be a 'double-edged sword' is all - same thing's happened to a former "colleague" of mine (mid 1990's for Sunbelt Software in Dr. Mark Russinovich of Microsoft, when he & I both made wares for them back then)).

In any event?? Have some balls, answer the question, that's all!
