  1. Security Question. Whose job is phishing? on "Phishing" Attacks to Increase · · Score: 1

    So security types...

    Who among your vendors do you expect to stop the phishing attacks?

    It seems to me that the most likely candidate is SPAM filtering, since this is the first line of defense, stop the email before it gets to the user.

    Content filtering could help but given the fact that these are list driven products, the list will probably be late in delivery (nightly updates,) and will ultimately be a list of dead links (here today gone tommorow.)

    Of course there is the best defense, educated users. But, good luck finding an accountant that reads emails about security threats. Or even worse, an account executive that doesn't click on every link in every email received.

  2. Re:how about... trains? on Vehicles of Tomorrow? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No way I am going to ride on a train. You people scare me.

    If I could have a compartment all to myself where I could take out a book or my laptop and read on the way to work.

    I tried taking the Metrolink train here in So. Cal. to work for a few months. It was miserable. All of the people would talk to each other about nothing important at all. They would proceed to do this loudly, sometimes they would try to involve me in the conversation.

    Here is a hint, just because I have to sit next to you doesn't mean I want to have anything to do with you, at all, EVER. Let me read my book and leave me alone.

    So now I am back to driving for 2 to 3 hours a day to and from work on the crowded 91 freeway.

    Yes I am polluting but at least I am in a car by myself.

    The bad thing about "Public Transportation" is the public. Take them out of it and I am all for it.

  4. Re:Still a great flight on SpaceShipOne Flight Not as Perfect as it Seemed · · Score: 1

    I'm still having trouble seeing how "attitude control" would keep someone from getting the prize.... :)

  5. Open Source on Mars Rovers At Smithsonian And Exploratorium Now · · Score: 1

    Please!!

  6. Where not to build..... on Making a House That Will Last for Centuries? · · Score: 1

    " If one wanted to build/modify a home, what would one need to do to make sure that the home would still be standing, and usable, hundreds of years from now?"

    Well... don't build in California... the occasional violent movement of the ground tends to have a negative effect on most structures. :)

  7. All this about a really slow proxy server on Clever Girl Bess · · Score: 1

    When it comes down to it, Bess is a really really really slow proxy server. I used to work as an admin for a schoold district and that dead dog was more of a problem than I cared to deal with. We ended up shipping it back after a year of them promising to make it faster. We went with some invisible solution called x-block or x-stop or something like that. Now that was a cool technology... it sniffed traffic so i didn't have to route traffic through it. I always meant to hack it to see what they did... never got the chance... left the job to move onward and upward... ahh well...
