  1. Re:Let's not ask someone who has lots of credentia on The Rise of Software Security · · Score: 1

    There I have to applaud you for...
    a) apologizing, something I never see on this site...
    b) for being on the money about your comment Are you trustworthy, and will you do a good job.

    I know he has written many books, and I am sure he is a great guy, but too many times /. has been used to springboard bloggers
    and consultants careers based on nothing but sheer popularity ....so in return I have not read any of his books, but I do claim that just
    because someone has written books, (of which even I have been published...) does not make someone an expert.

    It is the peers within that community that usually recognize someone's persistent contributions to the field.
    Security has become very vast and encompasses so many things today that were not even present 12 years ago when I came into the field.
    I would never claim to be a haxor, nor a security specialist (something I think more of the people working at the NSA)....

    My basic thoughts are as follows...if he has a hoaky site where by he has a whole page to talk about his personal stuff (religion, marriage little zen image etc...)
    I feel maybe that this site is really hosted / ran by this person. Any real big corporation or company in the security business would never plaster anything
    as such, thereby taking away any credibility they have. Also if he was really that great (top 10) to make some feel like what he says should weigh as much as gold....then he would have bigger accomplishments to his name (such as worked for the gov. or NSA, or etc....) but the only thing I have noticed when reading up his (small, and self maintained?) page on wiki, is that he has IEEE experience (again something anyone can get ....just for contributing).

    I do not knock anyone, my point was more to show that again /. was posting a story about someone's claim that the (add your industry type here)
    is (add your action type here) and that based on his professional opinion, they should (add your basic solution to a problem here)....

    I just prefer the true stories with facts, like maybe the up and coming technologies on their way, or maybe how someone hacked a device to do something else ...etc.... . The stories about opinions on this and that are just that ...opinions... if he read any of the reports that some of the higher technology specialist in the security industry have to say about the current US status with regards to defense and real time infrastructure or lack of working within the government such as at the NSA or USCYBERCOM or DOD....he would see that maybe we are exactly where we were 10 years ago....still very unprotected, with just a lot more
    spending going on to feel like we are protecting ourselves and our computers from unwanted attacks, viruses.

    Anyways, I wish you all the best in your future and hope to see you around on /. again,
    it is always nice to share view points with each other when everyone remembers we are all just here to share a good time and our humble opinions....even though they are just that....

  2. If blockbuster on Netflix To Lose 1 Million Subscribers · · Score: 1

    If blockbuster were smart, they closed down their stores, but are keeping their online presence...so my thoughts are for them to become relevant again,
    let them try to setup pricing to go get those 1 million unsatisfied customers.

    Fits well, nice and snug.....can't really complain about not being published....or was that my initial post at all?

  4. ANY GAME WOULD! on Bejeweled Yields Cognitive Benefit In Older Adults · · Score: 1

    Any game that is based on doing this at a much faster pace slowly over time, will increase the person's dexterity and awareness and even cognitive conditioning for anticipating the next move to align yourself to be well positioned. ...you do not have to be old aged, or young, and it can be any game not just bejeweled.

    I think they posted this story cuz it was a boring day, and raining probably where they were!

  5. old school on New BIOS Exploiting Rootkit Discovered · · Score: 1

    Real old school, and I am very surprised we even allow this to happen even today after all this time.

  6. Doing same as M$? on More Info On Google's Alternative To JavaScript · · Score: 1

    When ooxml came out, M$ was wanting to come out with their own version, could this be the same thing here, where they want to have more control and be the more prominent company out there to follow for these new standards

  7. Re:Mark or analyse? on Fixing the Final Steps In the Recycling Chain · · Score: 1

    I agree, many of the recycling plants already do this to sort out the garbage, they could technically have a separate department that handles IT products and electronics, once most products are in this location, an eventual sharing of information will lead to quicker deevolution of the product as well as maybe even quicker
    redirection of mass quantities of particular products, such as all the rubber from tires can be used for special materials used in other industries...so maybe all screen glass from old monitors can be resued,...etc.

    I think the government and local cities need to invest way more then they are doing to make this become a profitable business....they are leaving all the R&D to be done by actual companies not getting anything in return except for what they come up with as a byproduct of the reused materials.

    Yes he has many published books on the subject of code security and java security and the like. He has also been on the board of directors for IEEE.
    He is a great guy.

  9. Reading the post is confusing on Whither Moore's Law; Introducing Koomey's Law · · Score: 1

    Are they saying because Moore's law is a slightly bit off and that someone has proved that it is a .5 year off, that we rename the law to this new scientists name?
    If I proved something different with the theory of relativity, does that mean that Einstein is any less the creator of that theory?
    I would hope not....

  10. Although it sounds extreme on Training an Immune System To Kill Cancer · · Score: 1

    It sounds like it is right out of a sci-fi movie, where the cure has a kick to it,
    looks like you might not make it after taking it, and yet after the storm passes, WOW, the results are amazing.

    I hope they get to test this a few more times just to make sure, as well as follow said patient 10 years after,
    as it is important to see if the cells will be ok 10 years later and not morph or mutate....I just hope they do not let
    him walk away without keeping tabs on him.

  12. Re:Let's not ask someone who has lots of credentia on The Rise of Software Security · · Score: 1

    The ignorance comes from the trolls such as you who would have to use such offending words on the internet.

    I would have to agree with you, considering that when I went on the citigal website, it looked like it was made from small budget templates...
    and that whoever is running that company felt it necessary to give us detailed info on Gary at this link http://www.cigital.com/gem/
    funny though, no other employees have their faces , lives, religion, wives name, and dog's favorite treats listed on the website.....hmmmmm.
    I guess that does show major signs of professionalism on their part. I did read they had sister offices all over the world, but you and I both know
    all we have to do is find another like minded firm that would want to share namespaces and allow to use their offices to be able to call yourself global.

    SO with that in mind, I would like to let you know I have found an office in russia, that is allowing me to partner with them, and they have been in IT business since 1990 and they have a department dedicated to security within the company for which I am consulting for, so now I will put up my own website,
    put on there that I have been in business since 1990 AND also I have offices in Russia (the best haxors in the world) and have a multitude
    of dedicated consultants to help anyone who wants to pay me..... awesome business model.....I think I like tit very much....thanks for the idea!

    Let's ask a nobody, as compared to say a full fledged AV engineer who has been in the field since day 1....nothing like getting your information from the source....
    oh wait, I get it now, this was just blatant publicity for this upcoming software security firm that needs to make a name for themselves....remind me next time I need to become someone, I should get someone to post on /. a story on me and my company....

    Dont look for a sig, I aint got one...

  15. who cares what the FBI thinks... on Purported FBI Report Calls Anonymous a National Security Threat · · Score: 1

    The FBI is ass backwards at this point, they are back in the dark ages, maybe NSA or CIA would have more up to date view points on what is out there, or maybe some of the consultants that are being used by the FBI, but they themselves have been the weak link in security for government run operations for years, they are the laughing stock.

    Yes it is true any one possessing the knowledge to hack servers such as cnn, sony or even bank of america should be considered a threat, but not by this alone.
    What makes Anonymous so powerful is that like a terrorist cell, they have heads or cells that will keep hacking even if you take the main cell down....
    The difference to terrorists though is that they are doing it to show how corrupt our own government is.

    When the Amercian govenrment can try to silence Assange and his wikileaks, with fraudulent charges....some hacking group will pop up to say "I DONT THINK SO"
    When Sony goes after a small time tweaker only because he can figure out their code and allow others to bypass these limitations, and gets him convicted...
    again they stand up and say "I DONT THINK SO"...we should have more people standing up for our rights, not less.....the government wants us stupid, weak, fat out of shape, thoughtless, automatons, watching tons of TV, eating chips and burgers...so that we do not question our place in society.

    Sounds way to much like the matrix to me.. O_O

  16. Re:This is ridiculous. on Icelandic Rocks Suggest Meteorites Brought Gold To Earth · · Score: 1

    I would like to also point out that at any time magma can touch these formations deep within the core through shifts in the tectonic plates, thereby completely melting any deposit of precious ore. Where does this magma bring these materials in liquid form, probably where most people are really thinking of,
    such as the upper depths and not the lower ones......or the lower ones...bringing them to the next shifted region.....etc....

    I also think at some point if a crater was created by a striking meteor, containing some materials described here....it would be possible that such said metals could also be liquified and displaced from the original area should the meteor have struck during a time or location where the crust was thin and not well formed.
