Aleph1 Passes The Bugtraq Baton
Rogue_F writes: "The long running security mailing list
Bugtraq
is getting a new moderator. Elias Levy (the real name of the familiar Aleph1) has decided to move on to other things.
For nearly six years he has been moderating bugtraq with a high degree of success. No one doubts the usefulness of bugtraq, but many people probably dont appreciate what a 'clean' list it is. No spam, no flames, no relgious security wars, instead you get good wholesome security information.
Aleph1 details in this
message that he is moving on to other security projects and that David Ahmad is taking over moderation duties.
Bugtraq continues to churn out quality security information on a daily basis, and it looks like it will continue to do so for quite some time to come." List moderators and maintainers seem universally denied their due credit -- people like Zack Brown (of Kernel Traffic fame) end up getting noticed only when --infrequently -- they go on vacation.

Maybe they have those on bugtraq?
You just love a quick thrash of his unseen hand dont you?
Well? Dont you?
While Kernel Traffic is very good for what it is (a summary of more or less everything on the kernel mailing list in a given week), for my purposes the LWN kernel page is even better. They summarize a few issues in enough detail to actually understand what is going on, and then give some links to other stuff that happened. Anyway, with respect to the LWN kernel page, or Kernel Traffic, or other such efforts: Would greater public recognition make it easier to keep resources like this going? Would it help if there were a better way of dividing it up into multiple volunteers (not that I can think of how to do it as easily as for code or the Open Directory Project)? Activities like these are indeed a pretty useful part of open source development/use.
flame bait moron...nothing to see here
Guttermouth is a really good band.

You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waste
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull up tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with that butt you got makes
Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupy
I've seen them dancin'
The hell with romancin'
She's wet, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!
Timmy: Quick cap'n, it's time to traq some bugs.
Cap'n Justice: Hahaha, excellent idea timmy, we must stand up for american ideals of truth, justice, and changing columns of ones into columns of zeros, to prevent other people from doing the same, but timmy, there's one problem...
Timmy: What's that Capt'n Justice?
Cap'n Justice: Traq isn't how you spell track. It's hardly even close, and even sounds slightly french.
Timmy: Since we're speaking, how could you even tell?
Cap'n Justice: Ah, Touché mon frere, but you forgot one thing: Soap. You stink like a french bugmaker.
Timmy: Mwa ha ha, you cannot stop me now, for I am ze Fronch I337 haxeur. Mwahaha
Cap'n Justice: Ha! your feeble BASIC coded Trojans cannot hurt me. You shall fold like your country's armies!
Timmy Le Haxeur: NOOOOO I shall taunt you! Away with your list! Stop it! Ohhhh my bugs, my precious bugs
My Karma is so good, I'm the Dalai Lama...or something.
aleph omega surely
No spam, no flames, no religious security wars, instead you get good wholesome information. Wow, the exact opposite of slashdot!
