Questioning Security Certifications
prostoalex writes "BusinessWeek questions the validity of security certifications in the modern world. They take a look at Federal Information Processing Standard and the certification process. Apparently 'the testing companies make money by certifying products, not catching problems' thus implying that the seal of approval might not mean a whole lot."

Who watches the watchman ?
Or... Why should I trust these certifications ?
Is it common vernacular to refer to Linux as an OS? Isn't the title 'GNU/Linux' the 'proper' way to refer to the free operating system (in general)?
argh i don't know what came over me. all that anti-MS sentiments. i know i'm deluded. i know i know.....its just that its so hard to put the past behind me. the memories of what bill "rammer" gates did to me in that backalley haunt me all the time like it just happened a minute ago.
i seek repentance and i offer whoever may be reading this my crispy burnt karma. moderators, please do what's right and mod that post of mine down like the trolling flamebait it was meant to be.
-sob- i'll just go sit down for a minute to stop the shitty niggers from oozing out of my bunghole....not that i have a choice after bill "rammer" gates tore my spinchter in a fit of orgasmic ecstasy and sadistic wit.
It always has amazed me why Brits have blackish-yellow rottting teeth and breath that smells like dogshit. Even wealthy parasites like the queen and the royal family have rotting blackened teeth--disgusting. Why is that? By the way is that old parasite the queen mum still alive. I always hated that broad
So, I would like to know what is the best way for a guy who's virgin (as far as gay sex goes) to score with another man?
I just heard some sad news on talk radio-famed mathematician/cosmologist Stephen Hawking was found dead in his Cambridge home. The cause of death was a fall from a wheelchair. Even if you did not like his work there is no denying his contribution to hardcore gangsta rap culture. This English icon will surely be missed by the slashdot community.
That's what I would like to suck on right now!
I find certifications to be a rip off. They are alternatives to getting actual credentials from a respected learning institution. People who get jobs off of a certification need to actually get a diploma. The best certification is a college diploma, it will always be the best, and the alternative certifications annoy me. It's the cheap way towards achieving your goal. I obviously dont agree with the merits of certifications, and I dont think I would trust a person with only a security certification to protect my data. Face it, anyone can get a certification, and you can cheat on the tests to get them. There is a large risk when you entrust something as major as the protection of your data to someone who could potentially not know how to do his job.
So, certifications are bad.
