Apparently Massachusetts thought that meant people who are bad at math should be running the lottery. A critical mistake in the state that's home to Stanford.
Seriously, is there any large organization that doesn't suck at security? We need to spotlight companies that do it right and show everyone else what they're doing, because it seems to me that far, far more people suck at it than are good at it.

where is badanalogyguy?
so you're saying that one mistake (data loss; floor shitting) will render every countermeasure (encryption; diapering) invalid? nah, I don't think so. The insurance company handled the data loss quite competent - they disclosed it early (afaik) and implemented a regime that will make future data losses much harder.
Does the insurance company have insurance for their data?

This is so backwards from Slashdot norm. A summary with a tidbit of "news" in it and intelligently written opinion, no FA to read.
Am I missing something, did Microsoft not really coin this term or is there some biased, slanderous opinion that was unintentionally left out of the summary?
Can amateur journalists PLEASE stop using the phrase "embarrassingly parallel" to describe software tasks? Who's embarrassed? Why are they embarrassed about designing something that can be efficiently processed?
But amateur journalism is embarrassingly parallel.

Reminds me of the other story of the memory device left in a pub.
Clearly, pubs are dangerous places. Let's close them all down.
That was meant ironically, for all of you tards on /. who see a troll under every bridge.
Lost your memory in a pub? I thought that was why one went there.
Siemens hole has already been used to rape Iran (Stuxnet fun). Doesn't get much more rapey than that.

This guy is either rich, or she has Asperger's. Else, how else could the conversation go?
He: "I got it! The perfect wedding! We get married by a computer!"
She: "Should we go with blue or white?"
He: "But, the computer would marry us!"
She: "Should we go with lacy, or silky?"
He: "The computer should run Linux!"
She: "I think I like lacy more than silky..."
He: "I could even have it running LISP!"
She: "You want to have a preacher with a lisp? What the HELL are you thinking!?"
I predict that his and hers computers will be necessary.
They aren't.... install it via an infected USB-stick is what the summary says...
So if the guards play games, then the prisoners can too. Someone sent a stick for "Breakout."
What happens when the robots start committing suicide?
Sir, it seems to have jumped on the floor.
Um...I'd rather hear what economists have to say, not IT dudes who think they know everything.
Are these Keynesian IT types?
Put it where the sun shineth not.
Two words: fiber optics.
It's simple, the device is so bad even shoplifters return it!
Amateurs are ruining everything.
You can trust Uncle Hu.
Trust Uncle who?
(sorry)
That's Doctor Hu you insensitive clod.

Had a scanner radio with memory loss.
The five volt supply was reading 3 volts.
I put five volts on and a tantalum cap complained.
I cut one lead, and problem was gone.
I did not even replace the cap.
That was the cap that decided that it wanted to be a Zener when it grew up.
12 billion light years away means 12 billion years ago. That water will be scattered asunder by now.
The water will be gathered by the black hole, which is still there. The black hole may contain the rest of the ingredients for Kool Aid.
