  1. tracking vulnerabilities on Thinking of Security Vulnerabilities As Defects · · Score: 1

    Security Tracker, best source of information on security vulnerabilities that I know of.

  2. define profit on Harvard Study Questions "Long Tail" Theory · · Score: 1

    most of the debate centers around how you define "head" and "tail"." Actually it depends upon how you define profit. If you are using content as part of a larger marketing strategy, then the long tail makes sense. The content gives you an online identity.

  3. Watch it live! on Mars Soil Appears To Be Able To Sustain Life · · Score: 1
  4. the Olympic Brand on Sourceforge.net Blocked In Mainland China · · Score: 4, Insightful
  5. Re:*Sigh* on Sourceforge.net Blocked In Mainland China · · Score: 1

    While I personally think it's disgusting that China even GOT the Olympics and find their regime and it's actions reprehensible, there are proper forums for such matters. Sourceforge isn't one of them. Surely that is up to SourceForge

    Mars? Clearly Java users are a bunch of space cadets :)

  7. Re:surely that is a little harsh on Does an Open Java Really Matter? · · Score: 0

    you're probably right.

  8. surely that is a little harsh on Does an Open Java Really Matter? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Since Java itself never mattered except to sell books, I still don't see why opening it matters. For a system that does not matter except to sell books, it sure has a large install base.

  9. FaceBook on Canadian Group Files Facebook Privacy Complaint · · Score: 1
  10. huh? on Syrian Blogger Sentenced to Three Years in Jail · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just because Syria has the power to do this does not make it right.

  11. It is very humbling on Syrian Blogger Sentenced to Three Years in Jail · · Score: 1

    to read about people with this sort of courage.

  12. Re:Interesting way to look at it on SMS 4x More Expensive Than Data From Hubble · · Score: 1

    not quite, inkjet and gold are entirely different things, where as Hubble and SMS are both electronic communication, and I would have thought that hubble would be more expensive.

  13. Re:Interesting way to look at it on SMS 4x More Expensive Than Data From Hubble · · Score: 1

    It is a good catch, it would never have occurred to me to compare Hubble with SMS.

  14. Most small businesses on US Lawmakers Propose New Net Neutrality Bill · · Score: 1
  15. $126.6 Million into Carbon Sequestration on DOE Pumps $126.6 Million Into Carbon Sequestration · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Al Gore should get a commission.

  20. Re:Criminals and Elections on Malware vs. Anti-Malware, 20 Years Into The Fray · · Score: 1

    well, he can't be the only ambitious AG, they can't ALL be clients for hookers.

  21. Re:Criminals and Elections on Malware vs. Anti-Malware, 20 Years Into The Fray · · Score: 1

    But the biggest thing we can do now is get the world's police forces to get off their asses. As long as these things are not prosecuted, criminals will flourish, and they are. Word. The behavior you reward is the behavior you will get. The current non-system rewards malware with little downside. Really, voters don't like malware, why hasn't some ambitious commonwealth's attorney or state attorney general gone after this?

  22. time to throw malware in jail on Malware vs. Anti-Malware, 20 Years Into The Fray · · Score: 1

    I just don't understand why malware isn't considered a form of vandalism and prosecuted as such.

  23. thank you scuttlemonkey on ACLU Warns of Next Pass At Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    for posting this. Anyone who wishes to contact their Senator can do so here.
