  1. Get a technical person to scope it out on Best Security / Vulnerability Testing Firms for Web Apps? · · Score: 1

    As someone that used to lead teams that did this kind of work, too little attention was paid to the thoroughness of the testing by both client and testers. "What is supposed to be tested", "what was tested" and "what were the results" were simple questions that I would ask but testers and client were only interested in "what vulnerabilities were found". I could have 100 interesting findings but have only tested 1 out of 10 components that were supposed to be tested - and that was fine! You should make a list of what you want tested and demand that you be told what was tested and what were the results of those tests.

  2. Don't be surprised on CBC News Interprets GPL - Poorly · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The CBC (which, as we Canucks know, stands for Communism By Canadians) is notorious for slanting stories and poor news reporting in general.

  3. Not all oil fields are Arab, eh? on NC Man Fined For Using Vegetable Oil As Fuel · · Score: 1

    You Upper Mexicans are getting petroleum from our oil sands! Better be careful or we'll take back all your favourite comedians, ya bunch a skinny bacon lovers. But I am sure that you will be good in the future, inshallah.

  4. How dare we! on Canadian Border Tightens Due to Info Sharing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Imagine that. A country other than the US doing what it wants. Geez, yanks. Grow up. True north, strong and free. Free to do whatever we want, thank you.

  5. This is nothing new on Brain Scanner Can Read People's Intentions · · Score: 1

    My wife has been reading my mind for years. Or maybe she's just telling me what to think.

  6. Canon has it's problems too! on Sony Finds Defect In Digital Cameras · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Don't be too hard on Sony. I recently had to get Canon to replace my PowerShot A70 with a A530 (better res, flimsy camera body) because the image sensor was defective. It was a known defect but they couldn't come up with the replacement part for 2 months.

  7. Keep Barnaby Jeans out! on Dealing with Corporate FUD About Linux? · · Score: 1
  8. I did that today on Would You Take A Paycut for More Interesting Work? · · Score: 1

    I submitted my resignation today. I was in a job that bored me to tears after I accepted an offer for a position that pays 20% less. I am emotionally erect that the prospect of having a challenge in my job again.

  9. Is Neal Stephenson getting royalties? on Google Earth Launching For Free · · Score: 1

    There's a remarkably similar product in Neal Stephenson's amazing book, Snow Crash. Is he getting royalties?

  10. Reboot the BBQ on If The Problem Persists, Reboot The Car · · Score: 2, Funny

    A sysadmin buddy got a new barbeque. At his house warming, we set put it together and lit it. The flames were half an inch high. He said he'd shut it off and start it again. We told him that it wasn't MS BBQ(tm) and it wouldn't work. So he did it. And it worked. Fsck.

  11. Solve it the Canadian way! on Mathematics of the Social Security "Crisis" · · Score: 1

    All we did is increase the amount this generation and all future generations pays into our program so the previous generations can receive more benefit than their contributions could ever possibly be imagined to provide! Bankrupt the next generation! Live in a dream land! -- Canada needs another William Lyon Mackenzie. When he arrives, tell him I'm at Montgomery's Tavern.

  12. Re:No big suprise on Bad News From Canada On NetTV And Media Levies · · Score: 1

    So... Mark... you have started a letter writing campaign? Sent an email to Sheila? Anything? I'm proud to be Canadian but I am so tired of Canadians that just whine and do nothing. Stop complaining and do something! Anything! I'm sending email messages to all MPs and asking my local MPP how much money the provincial government will be giving with this levy with it's purchase of CDs, etc for backing up government data. Cdn
