  1. Link to US-CERT TA04-111A on TCP Vulnerability Published · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here's a link to US-CERT's TA04-111A on this topic.

  2. It's called Survivability on Intrusion Tolerance - Security's Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1
    And the CERT/CC has the following to say:
    Survivability is the ability of a network computing system to provide essential services in the presence of attacks and failures, and recover full services in a timely manner.
    Papers, etc, are also available.
  3. "Key Enablers of Value Creation" on Buzz Words, Catch Phrases, and Manager Speak? · · Score: 1

    That's how the CIO at a former employer referred to IT. Then again, he also referred to us as "Fungible Resources" during a global IT 'town hall' meeting. I still wonder how many people cracked open their Webster's Dictionary after that meeting. It was bad enough that a guy I worked with wrote a PERL script that would calculate the buzzword quotient on any given document (% of buzzwords relative to the total words).

  4. Re:Uh-oh, here come the digital bashers. on Improving Digital Photography · · Score: 1
    But that's not all you're paying for. You're not counting the cost of storage and printing. DIY-enlargements work out to a couple bucks per 8x10 (about the same as having film enlarged to the same size). And what about ink longevity?

    Also by storage I don't just mean the cost of a single hard drive, regardless of size. You've got backups, transfers to other media, etc., to worry about. And 20 years from now my negatives will still be in the box on the bookshelf, available for prints and enlargements. Where will your photoshop files be?

  5. Humatrope on What is Human Growth Hormone? · · Score: 1

    Lilly makes a product called Humatrope that's essentially a genetically-engineered analog to HGH. Their product site has some decent info on the conditions it's intended to treat, most of which applies to HGH as well.

  6. American Mensa's Gifted Children's program on Dealing with ADHD and Other Problems in Young Children? · · Score: 1
    "She's sat through an IQ test, and the result was 147, which means she's better at doing IQ tests than 99.9% of 6 year olds...Whatever the cause, she is quite different than most kids her age."
    You've got a very special little girl on your hands. Her high IQ alone could account for the distracting behavior since she's probably more than able to keep up with her peers and still have lots of processing cycles left over to get off on tangents. It's possible that just providing her with more challenging stuff to learn could make a big difference. Check out American Mensa's Gifted Children's program, they might have some info that you'd find helpful.
