  1. There is only one way. on Ask Slashdot: Verifying Security of a Hosted Site? · · Score: 1

    Best way, hire a good 3rd party auditor sign an NDA with them. You get another set of eyes on the setup. Plus they will use a number of tools to scan your product and the servers you host it on that you may not have easy access to. For example, IBM's AppScan is designed to scan web applications and test for SQL injections, XSS vulnerabilities, etc.

    At some point you may want to look at purchasing a copy of AppScan, however that would all depend on how often your code/environment will be changing. WatchFire was recently (last couple of years) purchased by IBM, which is how they acquired AppScan. I've tried most of the tools out there, AppScan is light years ahead of any others and it's priced that way too.

    Good luck!

  2. Re:Don't buy any servers. Use the cloud. on Best IT-infrastructure For a Small Company? · · Score: 1

    And when Joe Farmer runs his backhoe through your Fiber line? Send everyone home for the day?

    Yes, do exactly that. Since everything is on the cloud they can work from home just as easily as they do from the office!

  3. Re:Android = no native code support on Nvidia Lauds Windows CE Over Android For Smartbooks · · Score: 1

    I mean 20+ years of experience and all perfectly working C/C++ code and libraries have to be thrown out of window ? Cmon Google. Java is a nice toy, but unfit for production, get real.

    Someone has never heard of JNI.

  4. Re:What do you get combining Apple + gaming compan on Apple Eyeing EA? · · Score: 3, Informative

    As for point #1, replacing your DRM-laden songs. Now that is typical Apple - typical American corporate beast. They didn't even offer the option, trade up to DRM free (with higher sampling bitrate) for 30 cents.

    Incorrect, you can upgrade songs in your library to a higher quality DRM free version.

  5. Re:Obvious questoin on Chinese Hackers Targeting NYPD Computers · · Score: 1

    Really, if you have a server on them big tubes and you're not getting 70,000 login failures a day, you need to improve your page rankings.

    Really, if you have a server on them "big tubes" and leave ssh open to the world, you need to keep your day job.

  8. Re:So does the MS Interface on those Motorola boxe on Comcast Drops Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Do you even have a premium channel like HBO? If you do, all the HBO movies, shows, specials, etc are 100% free and you can watch them whenever you want. Also, if I want to buy a payperview movie-- I really don't want to WAIT for it to start. I hated that when I had satellite.

    Lack of "on demand" is the serious issue.

    Totally agreed. I was thinking the exact same thing.

    For what it's worth, I'm the exact same way.

  12. Re:My Yahoo on Yahoo! Mail Beta Goes Public · · Score: 1

    IG looks gross, the fonts are massive and the layout is terrible :(. I'd love something better, but IG isn't it.

  13. My Yahoo on Yahoo! Mail Beta Goes Public · · Score: 1

    If Yahoo Mail is anywhere as good as My Yahoo, it's gotta be great. My Yahoo lets me throw a ton of media RSS (RSS w/Images inline) and text RSS feeds on one page that are easy to view. Now I only wish it let me combined a bunch of feeds into one box and I'd be perfectly happy. Yahoo creates great simple UIs, so I imagine yahoo mail beta is fantastic.

  14. Dodgeball on Facebook Opening Up For The Public · · Score: 1

    I have no idea why Facebook and Myspace are so popular when an actually useful social networking site like dodgeball exists. No stupid comments, no stupid bulletins, just a website used to help meet up with your friends and get out of your house!

  15. Re:How long did it take you? on Amazon Snooping Your Surfing For Targeted Ads? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    (Offtopic, but oh well I couldn't resist)

    You seem to have a lack of understanding about how the Internet works. I go through qwest to get to /.-- that doesn't mean qwest is "sniffing" my traffic. It simply means qwest is a provider who is peered with speakeasy (my ISP) and savvis (apparently Slashdots' provider).

    Do you really think the NSA wouldn't use transparent ethernet taps anyways? And do you really think the NSA would have all that traffic dumped back to "nsa.gov"?

    Yeah cause you know... AT&T couldn't just be their upstream provider or anything. /tinfoil

  17. I'd rather see bigger miniSD cards on 16GB Flash USB Dongle · · Score: 1

    I already keep my phone in my pocket, why keep anything else? MiniSD is great. I keep a few mp3s, some tools, and anything else I need on there already.

  18. VMWare Server vs Virtual PC Server on VMware Releases Server 1.0 · · Score: 1

    I've been comparing the two products over the past two days. I've hardly scratched the surface, but one thing that did bug me is the lack of NTLM authentication in the VMWare product. It supports logging in via the admin website/app using your domain account, but does not support single sign-on (SSO). I love SSO, and I wish all apps supported it.

  19. Like getting rid of SMTP on New Standard Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Changing the QWERTY layout will never happen in the United States.

    I do agree though, the layout is pretty clumsy.

  20. Re:What about reliability? on Not Much Happening in Hard Drives This Year · · Score: 1

    I have 4 of these exact models in one of my home PCs and I cannot hear the damn things at all. I was amazed at even how cool they stay.

    Great, another proprietary Office format to keep track of.

    Sigh......

  22. Speakeasy on BayTSP Provides Automatic DMCA Notices · · Score: 1

    As a techie friendly ISP, does anyone know what Speakeasy's stance is? Will they go to bat for the customer, or do they give up info?

  23. How does this happen exactly? on New York's Oldest ISP Gets Domain-Jacked · · Score: 1

    I blame it partially on the registrar for not verifying the identity of the person attempting to transfer the domain.

    Granted an ISP should have known to use REGISTRAR-LOCK, but what about Joe Shmoe with his domain to host family pictures?

  24. This is great on We Pay Our Rent By Buying Coffee · · Score: 1

    With the ever growing usefulness of the Internet, the office is becoming less and less useful.

    I do allot of work from home and our customers never have an idea thanks to VoIP and Asterisk. I also have a VPN into our data center so I can access all of our data. Now we just need to implement smart cards and I will be perfectly happy.
