I have read this book in the past month, and it is very good at explaining PHP security from a very general perspective. It talks about encryption theory, SQL injection in genereal, filesystem permissions, etc. Very good read/reference for web developers who aren't as familiar with system/network security.
I installed it a few hours ago and everything seems about right. The only problem I've had so far is in starting up Safari:
Safari 2.0.2 (v416.12) has not been tested with the plugin PithHelmet 2.6.1 (v70). As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer for further information.
You have to realize that you won't always get higher pay
What are you talking about? I get paid a lot of... Whoa.. the lights are flickering. Dang, this happened at the same time last month. I'll just send this and finish when the power comes back up.. sorry.
From the article: I have no interest in taking Ubuntu to join the proprietary software industry, it's a horrible business that is boring and difficult, and dying out rapidly anyway.
I agree that some tactics of the proprietary software industry are less than desirable, but how many of us would be able to earn a living without them?
I also agree that many businesses (Google for example) are offering a free interface while keeping their proprietary software on the back end. However, the majority of companies AREN'T going in that direction (Adobe for example). That they're "dying out rapidly" is a ridiculous statement.
The companies that are already in China know how to work with the government. They're not going to do anything stupid.
This seems like a warning message to companies like Google and Microsoft, who in recent events expressed interest in targeting China (in a marketing, not tactical, sense). Will these large corporations fall flat on their face when they move into China?
In the case of OpenTV, it sounds like they are releasing the code, but doing an in-house mod...
Um.. I don't think their customers live on OpenTV's ground. This is most definitely distribution of the software. I don't see any possible way it is not!
After reading the article I get the impression that OpenTV is going to post the source code for the programs they use on the website, and the FSF will back off.
True, if it does go to court it will be the first big test of the GPL. However, I doubt it will go that far.
The Internet seems to have very different laws and standards than American laws. If you want to guarantee everyone's rights you must also guarantee responsibilities. Thus, if you want rights for all, purchases on the Internet should be taxed, any threats posted on any Internet site should be taken as though spoken directly, and you must have 1 black webmaster, 1 hispanic webmaster, and 1 old fart webmaster.

I was certain he meant 'K'

Anyone else notice that everyone in this thread posted as an Anonymous Coward?
Yes, but do you run linux?
This worked just fine.. Many thanks!

Any ideas on getting this working?
Yes, but does it run LINUX?
oh, wait, let's make it harder..
Yes, but does it run KDE?

you read the summary and get the impression that President Larry Wall just gave the 9th State of the Union address and he loves pearls and onions.
Cleaner code than the rest!
It's very true that laptops are a higher risk than desktops.
1) Most laptops now have wireless cards. If this is the case, use an encrypted connection to an AP.
2) Even then, use as many encrypted streams as you can (ssh, https, pop3s/imaps, etc.).
3) Physical security. It's easy for anyone to run off with your computer. So keep track of it... don't leave it on the table at the library.

As the webmaster of Searchking I find that offensive and I'm going to sue you.

Are you politically correct or something?

Didn't you read slashdot? You'd be better off playing video games then reading!
Why would I want a portable blue screen? I get enough of that at home. :)
