misinterpreted 'threats modeling' as "a business modeling about threating the customers with the FUD against their competitors".
In the article:
Threat modeling is an analysis process that helps you better understand the attack surface of your component so you can understand what you need to do to ensure that your code is more secure. Apparently he's just talking about releasing service patches every time after being attacked.
Novell always hires GPL developers on part-time basis for developing small Linux projects which are eventually release with GPL licenses (because they're developed with GPL software anyway). Many freelance GPL developers here (China and Hong Kong) support their living by taking these jobs.
So it isn't much a news at all. Anyway, gratz Greg. ^_^
My apology for the differ, but you've confused interoperability with compatibility. Your proprietary format could be compatible with other platform because you choose to, say via partnership or royalty licensing, which is exactly what Microsoft and alike is operating with.
Interoperability, on the other hand, refers to deliberately making format accessible from other platform. It's not necessary open format, say, Acrobat PDF could be regarded as interoperable format, because its company deliberately to make cross-platform possible. They do not open their format, but they pay, they spend money, to make interoperable possible.
I knew that would sound like another senseless MS-bashing, but I really don't see how Microsoft is willingly to make their format interoperable, even when they join open format consortium something.
I once counted the redundancy levels in a transformer protection system. There were 63 (yes, sixty three) different levels of protection for a humble transformer costing a mere $5 million. Imagine the protection around a $5 billion power plant. I saw Tiffany drove a bike into the security station, blew up everything in her path then bought down the entire power-grid by with a single ssh nuke. She did it all in less than 5 minutes.
63 levels of protection doesn't give me more assurance sorry.
But since your mentioned the plant hires Transformers for protection or something, I do believe these alien robots could stand some chance.
I remembered we had a boxing video game in a local gameshop. Players' punched on a padding sensor and the strength would be measured, and the screen will respond accordingly.
The game was just fine until one day accident occurred. As a matter of fact, this was not the fault of the game design itself. A smartass attempted to hit the padding with a jump-side-back-kick with spinning, and missed, and broke his non-kicking leg as it was landed on the wrong place (well, as a witness myself I must say I'm not so sure whether he had planned any landing afterall).
Needless to say, the game was recalled for 'causing violent accident'.
Violent video game is OK as long as the players don't attempt to hurt themselves in most embarrass ways.

However, soon miniOne will have a 16GB version, but it'd cost you US$988.5.
This is definitely not a cheap clone (probably because it runs Windows CE? j/k again)
It's an American thing. The rest of the English speaking world uses 'soldering'. And only an American would mod this as 'Informative' instead of 'Funny'.
Run-of-the-mill individual hackers are just noise as we try to focus on the real problem. We have to investigate every threat, but we're often dealing with ankle biters. Wait 'til Tiffany drives a bike into your premises, blowups everything in her path and then turns down your entire power grid with a ssh hack.
Don't underestimate the power of a desperate hacker in shiny leathers.
More ironic: the Linux kernel is slowly becoming a hybrid monolithic/micro-kernel. Linux lost its status of being a micro-kernel since kernel 0.1, a mini-kernel; and since kernel 1.0.0, it has become a macro-kernel. Sad thing to see they work toward the wrong way of technology advancement.
I'm in the progress of releasing a nano-kernel, kernel 0.000001, which could make me the coolest geek alive on earth.
Excuse me while these two nice gentlemen tie me up on my bed with the nice long sleeves I wear.

I hung around for meeting with 30+ guildmates in guildmaster's castle for the entire morning; then led a group of mages and archeries to shoot the assholes in dungeon deceit who looted my body earlier; then I created a war hammer of vanquishing on my way home.
Who is going to stop me from going out and being with each other, creating stuff? I'd chop him to death.
A couple of the posts above has already bought up the use of paper printing logs for the purpose. That's really practically used by many companies.
The solution, however, is hardly cheap. You need an expensive 4000-line per minutes line printer with stackers to re-fold and stack the fan-fold papers as they emerged from the printer. Also, you need monitoring tools to monitor the status of the printer and a room with security staff to prevent physical tampering.
(Don't bother using a laser printer, the cost of the ink along would drive your company into bankruptcy:)
I saw one of those system in IBM before, may be you could approach them for advise.

No...
It's how quick the maintainers of this particular DNSBL responding to your request to remove your ass from the list when they choose to blacklist you.
We've multiple MTAs for a single mail domain, because when an attacker found some way to relay or bounce-back one of our MTA and cause it to be backlisted by major DNSBL on earth, we still have other MTAs take up the job.
Then we could spend the rest of the week to ask for removing that MTA from their DNSBL, by email, or worse, by forum.

Right, but they're typically small.
Remember, while spammers hurting us, they still need to pay the bandwidth cost. Even when they could find cheap(or free) bandwidth, they want to spam us fast.
Of course, 500K is a moving target. I could foresee the default limit would be 1MB next year. In fact we're dealing with large PDF spams from the local spammers at this moment, as they could deliver fast spams locally.
Sad part is that most customers do not realize the existence of this limit before purchase.

Well, why parent was modded funny was totally beyond me.
Now I do my part: I live in Hong Kong and the only star I could see all these years is that red dot behind the moon, probably Mars.
Now you can check Hong Kong as the complete star-seeing blind spot in your map. Thanks.
