I don't bother making reports - I guess if I did, I might get my name attached to some zero day thingy. Hmmmm. That might not be good either. The better known you are, the harder it is to stay anoynymous when you really WANT to be anonymous!
For some things like this you MUST have a
zero day tossable email account. One that
does not have an address book or shared pass
word. Since email accounts expect an existing
email account to validate use a company account to validate a yahoo to validate a gmail to validate a microsoft to validate your TOSSABLE.
Law enforcement can still get to you but
hackers outside the law would have to hack
security at least two companies to get to you.
While we are at it keep a LiveDVD with a
browser that works and use it to access
money sites. In some cases a LiveUSB key with
a small file system partition to keep links

This is where the "many eyes" comes into play for open source...
But with the growing pile of packages and code more and more folk are not looking at source. The complexity of code and the complexity of the build environment make it more and more difficult to get there from here.
The obvious link line that includes a famous.a
file tells you nothing about the binary bits
on the build machine.
Quiz why does the old BSD hangman code need

As more and more bad-guy software
begins to attack phones I can see
ALL these phones getting bricked by
some evil bad guy. Should this happen
the vendor would have an obligation
to restore them to functionality and
quickly at that.
And while I am at it no IT department
should permit a single vendor to dominate
the cell phone population in the
department. We might all love to have
the latest iXYZ phone but any business
critical environment needs to be aware
of another risk... If you cannot call
your 7x24 service guy/ gal or they cannot answer
you are out of business for way too long.
While malware of all types are rare on *inux
and friends this incident does or should ring
a wake up call that security is not free and
is only the result of discipline and vigilance.
And your point about "monoi-culture" is spot on.
Desktop Linux will continue to make inroads unless patent, copyright, DRM and other coalitions make it impossible.
A couple years back ssh was a problem and folk
had to revert to rsh. We all need to keep healthy multiple versions so a fall back method
is at hand. Alternates seems to be underused in the Linux community just as chroot is underused.
alternatives can be used to eliminate too interesting tools or expose interesting tools.
Same with SELinux. Consider a SELinux context
for individuals that was simple but reserved for
development, banking, email, www surfing,/., i.e. parallel but compartmentalized activities.
I never toss a working laptop. They are like cars when you work on cars or laptops you need
the second one to go and gets parts. In this case parts is software.
Inequities in a tax like this cut right to social status and will be met with litigation. The expense of the litigation alone would just pay for the things.
At what point did it become legal for a bureaucrat to levy a tax?
Not as silly as the computer SCIENCE department teaching MS Word and MS Excel....
As privacy folk are learning to use
isolated individual browsers and accounts
to interact with the interconnected tangle
that is the Internet folk will quickly
see that biometrics cannot be employed
in a context sensitive way.
Much the same is true with RFID devices.
A reader at the door of a merchant will read
ALL the RFID devices. Not just current
devices from the merchant.
The set of RFID tags and subsets of these tags uniquely identifies a visitor. As more and
more vendors share data for marketing reasons
the individual threads of information get woven into a net.
There are a handful of reasons to stop
pumping none of which mean that the
top kill process was stopped.
If the weight of the mud was wrong it needs to be adjusted. And there is a mile of mud above the
well head. At approx 18 pounds per square inch
per foot of head we are working with massive pressures. One atmosphere of pressure about 15psi is about 30 feet of water so they are pushing thirty times the pressure of the water column at the well head.
A month ago I was watching CCN because they had a bias I liked. Today the screen if full of IDIOTS that are fomenting dissatisfaction. Back to Fox
and the New York times.
The sound byte(sic) of the governor saying he might have ten miles of sand berms built had he been given a go ahead. OK that may be so but ten miles out of how many total and possible.
They should be blowing shredded straw and news print then lighting the "wick" on fire. BUT the EPA rules not let those smoky fires get started.
Drilling fluid and the ocean
push against the natural gas and oil.
Too heavy and it runs into the well and
then the flow reverses in yet another blow out.
Too little and the mud is pushed out
and we have a blow out.
The process can involve material to clog
the formations down hole allowing positive
pressure to be maintained.
It appears that sufficient positive pressure
can be imposed from the top of the well head
to move material like cement down hole
and plug the well.
In an ideal world a cement plug is not the first
choice. A better situation is one where control of the well is regained and the stack of
valves (Christmas tree) repaired. If this stack of valves can be repaired then pressure can be relieved by directing oil and gas to a recovery pipeline. A cement plug can fail as can surrounding rock and the multiple casing making things worse.
The reverse unbalance situation has not been discussed on the media. But if one was able to fill the hole with a "heavy" barite laden fluid it is possible that formations above or below the current oil and gas sources fail and drain down and in all the heavy mud/ fluid. Once this down flow drains and de-pressurizes formations the well fails again perhaps worse than it is now.
Also one of the nasty problems here is a tangle of regulations that prohibit centrifuging and in place incineration of oil recovered from the sea. A smallish flotilla of recovery vessels (skimmers) cannot be deployed because recovery of oil and waste must be tankered away and disposed of "properly".
One obvious place for incineration in place is the top-hat box that was first tried. No one reported on the reality of managing all the oil
and gas that that device might have directed to the surface. A flood of warm surface water might have dispersed the methane-hydrates and opened up the pipe (BTW, pipe was too small) to the surface.
The soda straw while it siphoned off and continues to siphon off some oil qualifies as a pressure/ flow sensor. That exercise would have been a critical "sensor" for ongoing efforts.
So if you live in the county where this might come to trial.
Does making a comment on/. imply that you are biased on this and have a information and opinions that are well outside of what court might present to a juror?
I am inclined to think that it could and not disclosing your comments on/. could place you in contempt of court.
After reading/. and some of the other Internet postings I am of a mind that should this come to court it would be because the county and other companies or agencies pushed it to court.
Further I am of the opinion that the law that is being pushed is being unfairly applied and that anyone that takes in a stray dog or cat is likewise guilty of the same violation. Even if
the individual posted pictures of the dog/ cat on the telephone poll in front of the home of the owner it would be a felony to give or sell the dog/ cat into what you believe to be a happy home. This would make most non profit rescue organizations serial violators of this statute because at no time was the "property" returned to the police or deputized and bonded agent.
The phone should have had a "send me home" phone number... If found call 650-555-1212, or send via USPS mail to PO box... for a reward.
I have seen big network news reporters make statements that they have a right to information and are not liable should their source obtain it by -- well she just did not care how she got it.
I think that there are too many dirt ball heads in this now.
The most interesting data would actually be the *least* highlighted passages. That is, the ones that someone saw as important when no one else did.

Good point... like comments in a program.
A beginner might make comments about
the programming language syntax itself.
A solid programmer might comment on
his intention. An advanced programmer
might comment on other uses in addition
to the current one. A wizard might
see no need to comment at all.
Then search for it monthly and if you
find it issue a take down notice. Use
some hash function like a unix password
to generate the tag so you can prove the
tag is yours.
This sounds as if the expectations are upside down.
It is growing unreasonable for an individual to recall what the the internet can remember.
"that nominees
to the Supreme Court and other high profile positions are [1]required to
provide the Judiciary Committee with everything they've ever written or
said publicly, to the best of their abilities within reason."
Well "within reason" is going to be selective.
Not filtered in a bad way but clearly a subset.
No individual that has been active in or around the modern internet will be able to provide an exhaustive history of all his or her interactions.

Raising fees may be necessary for
the patent office to do the IP search
but what if one could file cleaver ideas
for the record. The record would
thus capture prior art in the same class as 'obvious'.
Inside of six months interesting ideas could
be promoted to full application if an agreement
with someone with bucks and the inventor could
agree on terms. At that point a full
patent search could be done and if appropriate granted.
This transition would be visible and would open a "friends of the patent office" comment board where additional prior art by interested parties could be presented.
