Please put your time into something more constructive than yet another implementation of the standard slashdot "work on a project I like, not that thing you find interesting" post that serves no purpose aside from trolling.
I think you've got your timeline of aviation backwards. It started as tinkerers in the back of their (private) bicycle shop, was pioneered by (private) individuals flying (private) planes in long-distance challenges to win (private) prize money. Now the two main builders of civilian aircraft are a huge conglomerate dependent on government contracts (Boeing) and an outright government-sponsored industry (Airbus).
That's insane. Maybe it was appropriate in the 1980s when "security researchers" and "black-hat hackers" were sets of bored grad students with slightly different moral compasses, but now with various governments and criminal enterprises buying up exploits, one should probably just assume that anything disclosed publicly is also for sale from another "vendor" or already packaged into as-yet-undetected malware.
As for sleep, it sounds like somebody has created an expectation of 24x7 on-call security support, without funding positions for more security people. Don't let the company make that your problem!
We found out via support cases coming in from clients who were reading FullDisclosure before I got into the office to check my morning email
...and you think it's somehow reasonable for a "person responsible for security" to sit back and wait for vulnerability reports to find their way through product support channels, instead of monitoring FullDisclosure?
He's got nothing to worry about there. The trial version that comes pre-installed on every new border checkpoint would have expired years ago, and nobody ever pays for the full subscription.
Because nobody should ever have to take more than a few steps to find dull knives, stripped screwdrivers that fold up on your fingers when you try to use them, and pliers too small to grip anything!
I wonder how much of his sentence can be attributed to his priors rather than to other factors.
It's Mississippi. You should be wondering how much of this can be attributed to the cop or the prosecutor suddenly happening upon some money innocently left behind by an RIAA lawyer at one of their meetings. Either of them bought a new boat lately?
...where you already have 4+ weeks vacation, sane working hours, protection from dismissal without cause, guaranteed health care if you do lose your job, and so on and so forth. Understandable that you don't see the appeal of a better contract.
Some people see a monster and need to believe that someone (even someone hostile to them) is holding its leash.
The truth is somewhat scarier: that the continual growth of oppressive-yet-useless security apparatus like the TSA is an emergent property of power, fear, and greed.
Sir! This is slashdot! If there's one place on the internet spec-wankery and taking potshots at marketing misusing terms of art are not only permissible, but good form, this is it.
There is no non-third-party Flash anywhere now. It's never been available on iOS, it's EOLed on Android and Blackberry, and it's never going to be in Windows phone 8.
Then we're back to the justices being technologically illiterate. The only way a message stored on Yahoo's servers could ever have been read is if another copy is made on the recipient's machine (in his web browser or mail client). If they're not marked as read, they are in transit, and SCA applies. If they are marked as read, then there is (or at least was) a "primary" copy for them to be a "backup" of.
The copy on Yahoo MUST logically be a backup, because if something that is a backup while the original persists ceases to be a backup the instant the original is deleted (precisely when a backup is needed!) then "backup" as defined is meaningless.

Stop. Just stop.

Now if only they had a man-rated spacecraft to put these "space ports" in. Somehow I don't think this is going to be retro-fittable to Soyuz.

It's also a museum of web design from the "portal era".
THREE MONTHS?!?

Well, it was after 11PM local time, I'm sorry if I sleep.
Now you want advance notice based on your timezone... this is called "moving the goalpost".
Originally you said: "I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE IF HE WOULD NOTIFY US (the affected vendor) AT LEAST AT THE SAME TIME HE PUBLICLY RELEASES IT!!!"
There's an easy solution to that:
1: Subscribe to FD.
2: There, now you're being notified at the same time as the public.

The troll eats well today...
Admin posts a story, someone whines that it's not really "news for nerds". Same as it ever was.
I hope you didn't pay much for the 4-digit account.
"The ASUS Zenbook Prime is 1920 x 1080 with a 13.3" screen, which is close, if not better, than the Mac books."
It's really not. The 13" MBP display is 2560x1600 pixels.
Stop being an idiot, you're making yourself look bad here, not Apple.

That's "killing people and breaking stuff" to you and me.
"Dour, one-dimensional algorithms" didn't decide cartoon nipples are taboo in Texarkana. People did.
Don't like it? Start making as much noise when something is censored as the prudes do when they see a bare boob on the boob tube.

"Originally named 'Cascade'" ... and now named for a midsize Volvo.
It might not be the fastest supercomputer in the world, but at least it'll be safe.

DING!

Score:-1, Didn't Get It
Too bad the mods don't know their slashdot history.
LMAO at people who pirate television.
Agreed.
But then also LMAO at people who think they can bathe half the globe in a radio signal and then decide who is allowed to decode it.
Sir!

Nexus 4 specs include a 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus display with 1,280 x 768-pixel resolution...
Lay of the TV marketing crack, Google. True HD means 1920 x 1080 pixels.

Mobile Flash is dead (and good riddance.)
You can stay connected to your favorite social network even while you are surfing the Web, watching a video or playing a game.
Yeah, it's called tabbed browsing. Been in Firefox since version 2.0...
