>>> In the USA, drunk driving is NOT tolerated Sorry u are sooo wrong. 50 people a day being killed in drunk driving accidents in 2007 and how many get off with no jail time?
dude, talk to civil engineers working on government project, you will see how wrong you are. My sister in laws brother worked for a very large state agency and she left on agony over such burocracy, project mismanagement, and more.

>>Now as a consultant, I face the same struggle getting people to be serious about backups, redundancy/eliminating single points of failure...
What do you mean that there are no standards in IT security? Ever hear of ISO-17799? There are standards from NIST, VISA and tons more.
>>>You can't say "I'm trained in the XYZ" methodology.
Sure you can!!! There are security methodologies that train people.
>>The only underlying principle in IT security is "Deny everything to everyone all the time" (Is there an acronym for that?)
That is a sub principle in the methodologies you just denied existed:)
>>>Here's the really good bit: the interviewer can't ask you questions about your past experience or clients, because that's confidential.
Sure they can! They can't ask names, but you can talk about technologies, projects, etc.
>>>If pressed you just need to say that "You wouldn't want me to talk to future employers about your security setup, so you must respect previous clients' confidentiality".
And if the candidate said that, I would kick him out!!!!
Hey, I think I am going to tell this joke during the interview.
If they laugh hysterically, they are hired on the spot. If they don't think it's funny, then they really lack experience and are not invited back for further interviews.

dell gives you an option to have the workstation come with xp as opposed to vista.
that's not coding, that's documentation :)
not sure a huge error in my mind.
>>Designing a serious bridge is a LOT more difficult than 90% of software projects out there.
I would up that to 95%

shows how irrational people are.
>>Bridge building isnt really all that complex,
What, the bridge to your bathroom?
you have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about, zero.
do u realize how many scientists, engineers, etc., it takes to build a large bridge?
....and the point of you sharing that piece of your health is????????????
>>""This book could be summed up in three words: 'don't use windows'""
That is silly.
go into places that use unix/linux and you will see people who also don't know squat about writing secure code.
A good coder can make windows secure.
A slacker can ensure that SecureBSD is insecure.
Thats a really really bad analogy,and even worse logic.
We need secure software because of the repercussions of poorly written code.
Misspelling the name of a desperate singer in search of publicity has no repercussions.
I take that as a compliment for the guy :)
Shows the difference between slashdot and tmz.com
The truth is there is nothing factual about her. It is all hype.

That must have been years ago during the internet era.
The folks at PWC still have their head in their air, but that are not THAT POMPOUS, at least the ones that have been in our firm.

Not really.
We all know how incompetant the Bangalore/Mumbai call centers are. they are good at basic tech support.
but things like app level security, crypto, authentication... neva!!!!
your security job is safe in the US of A dudes!
which are...????
Yes, and Swordfish was a terrible movie.
Lousy and unrealistic plot.
