You do have that right. It just costs a little extra. Get a developer license from Apple for $100, and then whatever app you want can be run by code-signing with your keys. Granted, it's not super easy but it can be shell scripted. Developer licenses are limited to 100 'tester' phones, so it doesn't scale obviously.. But if you _really_ want to run anything without jail-breaking.. The option costs $100.
Judging from the content and length of his article I can see why, if I had run across anything he'd written in the past I'd stop reading it two paragraphs in.
Most importantly, *DONKDONK* Law & Order, were you lying then? or lying now? I'm guessing both.
What you attempt with 'ghost ride' is better communicated and less retarded with one of the following phrases:
* piggy-backing * covert channel * out-of-band
There's no applicable analogy with 'ghost ride' to communicate what you're trying to describe. Don't try to introduce new lingo. You might as well call it 'Dog sledding' as it has just as much in common with covert channels as 'ghost riding' does.
At least we know what search engine to use when you want to find useless shit that doesn't come anywhere close to your search query. Perhaps Google will partner with them to use them as a search result inverse filter -- anything Yahoobingstank returns can immediately be trimmed from the Google results. I better hurry up and patent that idea..
The only times I've come across SPF servers it's been an employee at my company asking why they got an email from a foreign server 'warning' them that because _we_ don't use SPF there's something wrong with _our_ email system.
1. If everyone isn't using it, it's not a standard.
2. Soft-warnings to uneducated people result in busy-work for IT people. Worse yet, try explaining to a marketing person that no, in fact, OUR email system works fine, it's the remote guy's server that's got the issue.
SPF is a good idea in theory and if everyone used it (and it worked properly) it'd be great. But we don't and I won't be switching until a real solution is available that gets adopted by everyone. Sorry folks, email isn't going to be changing drastically any time soon.
If we were smart we'd set everyone to be white-list email only, if an email bounces the sender is told to call you on the phone and get a whitelist one-time-code to get added to your list. Everything else is just going to be statistical attempts at solving this problem which will never be 100% correct. Either spam gets through or important email gets lost.
The assertion that this is a 'blame taking' job is unfounded, that it doesn't have statutory or budget authority is peripheral to what the role should be, and frankly somewhat insulting that the umbrage taken with it by 'the experts' is that it's a role that has no teeth.
It's a job where the President consults you for your opinion and takes action based on your advice. Boo hoo you don't have any authority or a budget. Any consultant that is hired on to a tech firm is in the same boat.
Also, yeah, I can understand why many security people have turned this job down. Because they're more interested in money than civil service -- how the hell is that a surprise?

Actually, your boss has the right to tell you what you can or can't listen to at work. More importantly, if your boss doesn't want you to do something -- it's not a matter of raging against the machine for your 'human rights'. Either you can perform your job to your superiors' requirements or you can't. If you work somewhere that says what you can or can't listen to, odds are the path that led you there wasn't a happy one to begin with.
You have no right to listen to music, just as you have no privacy in your email.. When someone's paying you to be somewhere to do something -- you do it to their (legal) specifications or they can fire you for not performing. Happily never had that situation myself, but.. in this economy you'd have to be insane to pick a fight over something this trivial.
Do what olden times people did, whistle. If people complain, _whistle in your mind_.
Isn't the point of having a windowed user interface that you can multiple windows concurrently open _next_ to each other? If you tab them contextually you then limit interaction to a single window. So, next big thing? How about, the old thing we all know?
It's an interesting idea to group applications by task into what would essentially become an IDE. That model only works if you can save and restore the context in some efficient manner that you can tear-down and rebuild on the fly.
After looking through the site, it's pretty clearly just a marketing ploy to engage with people who believe it to be true.
It even says right up front: 'The What's Your Type? program is a recruitment program with information provided for the participants' enjoyment. You should seek medical supervision for all matters regarding your health.'
I don't care if you believe in pseudo-science, if I need a transfusion and you're a blood match as long as it's clean _Go team blood-donor!_
>> Though there are tens of thousands of other developers who have pumped out over 100,000 apps for the platform, continued migration away from iPhone development will most likely result in lower quality software."
The developer who flits from language to language trying to get rich off the latest trend isn't going to be the guy I want to buy apps from anyway. I'd rather buy something from a hardcore guy who won't give up on a platform no matter what the world says. That guy is going to be making the best app for the platform. Not the guy who learned enough objective-c to make compiler errors stop.
An alternate statement could be made that it will result in fewer high quality apps making it easier for the cream to rise to the top. The same exact thing that I actually enjoy about OSX. OmniGraffle is kind of the only game in town but it definitely gets the job done.
Any exploit that requires a local shell is 'Zzzzzzz'.
And something as contrived as getting root by social engineering someone to use ldd.. Is that so much easier than just kidnapping the system admins family and exchanging them for the root password? C'mon. Work for it.
Every time I hear about the Amiga now I remember an NPR story that talked about how the clothing you wear in your 30s is usually slightly updated versions of the same things you wore in your 20s -- for the simple fact that you equate the clothing you wear with a more youthful and fun time and have a sub-concious comfort in persisting.
If you ask any 'hip' 20 year old, no matter how hip you were 10 years ago -- whatever you're wearing now is stupid and you're completely out of touch with whats cool now.
I can say this as a die-hard Amiga user (die hard until C= folded that is..)
Those who dwell in the past are doomed to repeat it to anyone who will listen. And those people are also doomed.
Made up words for things that aren't standards. At least Flash and AS3 have published specs. And for anyone who thinks writing Javascript is better than using Flash Builder 4.. you should really try it.
FWIW: Don't work for Adobe, have no stake in their products success. I just like Flex Builder/Flash Builder.. It's the least painful web development environment yet except for RTMP/et all.
Unity3d.com is probably doing what Adobe plans to already, except they're using.NET. Cross-compiling code into real iPhone applications. I haven't dug too deeply into how Unity3d is doing it, but it seems pretty clear -- you can write your code in.NET with some pseudo-alternative languages like 'Boo' (python), and it makes you a nice iPhone binary that'll pass Apple's deployment criteria.
Considering Adobe has the time, money, and smarts to do it, don't be surprised when their 'Program Actionscript for the Iphone!' system is a very tightly defined API coupled with the iPhone framework that is cross-compiling..
Before I gave up on Perl, the assertion that Parrot would be some fancy answer to everyone's programming problems by allowing you to program in any language you wanted. I somewhat scoffed at the idea, but more recently as I've been working with ARM processors and doing a lot of cross-compiling work I can understand why it's an important idea that will soon be second nature to us.
If I could buy stock in Unity3D right now I would, because those guys nailed it. They just need to scale up and out of just the 3d game market.
You can even use WebDAV to copy to and from Sharepoint, although -- for the record, I think Sharepoint is one of the least friendly collaboration tools I've used.
If the open source world wants to beat Sharepoint, here's how:
1) Install a wiki 2) Regularly index the wiki with lucene, provide a googleish search interface 3) Get real ACLs that work against LDAP 4) Provide a good WYSIWYG Flex interface for editing wiki contents 5) Integrate WebDAV to emulate shared folders within the CMS
Elements or complete implementations exist for each element outlined. They just need to be glue together correctly, which isn't as easy as it sounds. After having to explain to a Sharepoint admin how backups work, and suffering through a week long 'upgrade'.. I'd rather print stuff out and leave it on people's desks. At least we got stuff done then.
This is essentially a trademark issue rather than an 'ownership' issue. Basically, if you sell a food product type under a name assumed from another geographic region, the argument is that you dilute the brand name if it's not 'really' from that geographic location. Champagne originated in France, so they fought for that trade mark. California wineries did the same thing ensuring that only wine that originates from Napa Valley can be labeled 'Napa Valley'.
While it's kind of dumb to say, the open source analogy here is actually somewhat humorous -- if you fork a project, generally you don't use the same name. I suppose you could, but in general the distinctive new name is used to set you apart from the original project. Imagine 100 forks of the Linux kernel each named 'Linux' with slightly different code bases with completely different hierarchies of submit control -- only one of them really would be the original Linux. Wouldn't you want to enforce that distinction with a trademark?... Oh wait.. They do!
That is, 'Application Service Provider' model that was all the rage back mid-dotcomboom. Microsoft talked and talked about how they'd sell the subscription service so you'd only pay for what you used with Microsoft Office -- undoubtedly hoping to cash in on the monthly service fee you forget to cancel.
Now they're trying to give it away for free just to remain relevant. Goodness.. how things have changed.
Software development is a lot like a having a baby. 1 woman, 9 months = 1 baby. You can't add 8 more women to the equation and get a baby in one month. And as projects get larger, the success is dependent on cohesive management, not necessarily additional resources.
However, with marketing -- you can send any number of suit-monkeys out to cut deals with drink manufacturers, t-shirt companies, magazines.. etc. All without detracting from the potential quality of your final product.
If it's in the game, it's likely because one of these marketing people said it needed to be in the game. Thank them for in-game advertising and in-game shops that accept real world money.
Remember back when you could actually download things from active projects? It's a god damn easter egg hunt to actually download something these days. You suck sourceforge.
