  1. Re:Mandatory ACLs on Corporate Mac Sales Surge 66% · · Score: 1

    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_access_control "Apple's Mac OS X MAC framework is an implementation of the TrustedBSD MAC framework.[18] A limited high-level sandboxing interface is provided by the command-line function sandbox_init. See the sandbox_init manual page for documentation.[19]"

  2. Re:Seconded. on Mozilla SSL Policy Considered Bad For the Web · · Score: 1

    Bear in mind the three levels of security: 1) no-ssl: offers neither encryption nor authenication 2) SSL(self-signed): offers encryption 3) SSL(3rd party signed): offers both

    why is that that no.2, which is a significant improvement on no.1, generates such a severe warning message?

    You cannot have encryption without authentication. Encryption is defined as the confidential transfer of information only to the intended parties. If you cannot be sure that you are exchanging session encryption keys with the intended party, you might just as well be talking to the man-in-ze-middle.

  3. Re:Nothing new there on A Copyright Cop In Every Zune · · Score: 1
    Well, what is interesting is the wording of the Press Release, as well as the blog post.

    We have no plans or commitments to implement any new type of content filtering in the Zune devices as part of our content distribution deal with NBC.

    Which could be understood as:

    "We did not put the Copyright Cop stuff in the deal, because it is not ready yet. And we don't want to go public with the Copyright Cop thingy (that we promised NBC we are going to put in there) just right now. We need to figure out a better PR-spin on it first.
  4. Re:Windows Powershell on Microsoft Axes 'Get The Facts' · · Score: 1
    I am confused. One would expect MS to want this video to show that PowerShell was easier than Linux? I think the Linux examples are much easier, if I was to use them IRL. (Except for the overly long

    kill `pidof konqueror`
    equivalent script of course...)
