If you are like most people, then your email should be one of the most secure. If someone compromises your email they can reset the passwords on all your other accounts. They can figure out what other accounts you have by looking at your email.
One of the hazards of allowing people to reset their passwords by email.
It is really weird (for someone I really don't even know), but the news of his death hit me pretty hard. I think part of it was that he really wasn't very old, in fact he is wasn't much much older than one of my brothers.
A reminder that all of us have a finite amount of time here and we really should try and make the best of it.
I'm curious, how does this contest work? You sign up for a 30 minute spot. Do they allow the security researcher to sit at the system to compromise and operate it or does the security researcher direct a user to visit some url with a potential exploit? Part of the contest is to exploit the browser so I am guessing that the browser needs someone operating it and fetching well crafted html etc. from some where.
The phone stuff looks interesting as they are looking for drive by exploits as well as browser exploits.
You don't need the source code to find holes to exploit! In fact some security researchers only care about having the released binaries. For more information read "Hacking: The Art of Exploitation". IIRC it has something to do with the fact that different; compilers, versions of same compiler, options to same compiler can all generate different binaries. So to truly exploit the code you need to know what instructions actually made it into the binary that people are using. That is why tools like IDA Pro are so useful.
As many linux systems are used as servers not clients one would expect a smaller percentage of web traffic to orginate from linux clients. Does any search companies publish stats on web server OS? If they did you could combine the two to calculate market share.
Actually you can build commercial products using this new library, taken from their FAQ
What is GPL v2 with the runtime exception? Version 1, Changed by RANDY SMITH on 7/21/2007 Created by: RANDY SMITH GPLv2 with the runtime exception is the license under which the source code of libstdc++ is distributed (see gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/17_intro/license. html). This 'runtime exception' is therefore a standard for distributing template libraries - and that is why TBB uses it.
The LOTR movies are in the lists of top grossing films. Adding up the numbers from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-gross ing_films seem to indicate that ~3 Billion has been made. Assuming Jacking is getting a percentage of gross (if he was smart) would mean that 300 million would be ~10 % which sounds reasonable. Of course this doesn't include rentals and DVD purchases etc. which could easily be another billion.

Just ask my neighbor who uses dial-up. I had to spend hours cleaning all the spyware and virus's on their computer system. If you are connected in any way you need to take the same precautions.
For mission critical applications ECC memory would be a requirement which this product does not support. Thus I wouldn't trust this solution for my database logs or data.

Park a plane on the tarmack, if a person can take control of the plane it's theirs. That should fix the security problems.
Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

He isn't leaving because he is going to die. He is leaving so he can go back to the island.

Indeed, I use http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm to setup booting linux from windows.
To me this is where the author crossed the line...
It would be poetic justice if the warrantless wire taps by AT&T and others preserved the very data that is suppose to be lost.

If I was google I would remove all references to Joan Miro from their search index. I think that would be within their legal rights :-)

They can use your Real ID to make sure that they know who you are.
