    That's exactly what AV-Comparitives does. The term for the technique is "retrospective testing".

    It's appropriate and entertaining that in calling Carleton a pit of mediocrity, you misspelled the name of the institution :)

    I'm pretty certain that fair use as a concept applies to copyrighted works in general, not to any particular kind of works (ie. music).

  9. Interesting on Security and Usability · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This looks like an excellent and long-overdue book. As the t-shirt says, "there is no patch for human stupidity" - making secure systems usable is really the more challenging part.

    g.711 is free, g.729 needs to be licensed if you are a Legitimate Business.

    this licensing is built in to the cost of commercial products such as Cisco Callmanager, but if you want to use something like asterisk, you need to pay a licensing fee to use it. digium (the asterisk guys) sell a $10 g.729 license.

    I'd be interested in that discussion as well, as per my own ask slashdot article on this very topic about a year ago ( http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/07/22 7252 ).

    I think that maybe what needs to happen here is for someone to start a project for an OSS legal time billing app, possibly building on something like sql-ledger

    Because I'm still having to troubleshoot PCLaw for my dad and it grows tiresome :-)

  15. Re:Cisco / Encryption on VoIP Security · · Score: 1

    Great thing about this - in a Call Manager environment you can do encrypted, or recorded / monitored (system side, not talking MITM here) - never both. So in a contact centre environment... no encryption if you're going to do any call logging / monitoring.

    It makes sense on one level - you're preventing /everyone/ from monitoring the call, right? But you'd think that Cisco could figure out some way of sharing the encryption keys between the Callmanager and whatever does the recording, as well as the phone.

    Anyway, that's my rant for the day.

    i was home sick from school the day of the oklahoma city bombings, i remember the initial news was "there are no confirmed dead" and litterally sighing with relief. that relief didn't last, obviously.

  20. Re:"Scathing" != "Untrue" on Linux For Losers According To De Raadt · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It must be hard to be devoted to the unloved stepchild of the Open source movement, and have to watch as everyone worships Linux.

    is it just me, or isn't openBSD the unloved stepchild because of the assholishness of some *cough*theo*cough* of the developpers?
