Strangely, I agree with the original author who sent the DMCA. Imagine that you're working on some project and you find one of those forks with no GPLv3 attached (or worse, some other license that is more permissive). You integrate it,

I think you mean, during the install process you selected the tiny "Customize settings" and manually disabled this option, after scrolling down on the page that (on my smaller screen) doesn't have a scrollbar enabled: ref: h

It's going to be interesting to see what the ramifications are this for trusted execution environments, where people are validating the hardware they are running on via tboot. It's fortunate that newer platforms seem to be immune

You are probably overthinking it. As a Canadian who visits the bay area on a very regular basis for work (and lives in the backwoods in a community of 2000 people and takes a boat to get to a real airport), there is a jarring disconnect bet

Why is this a problem at all? There is no user supplied input here. There is some string mangling in commands below, but it looks like none of it can be manipulated by a malicious user. It's not a security issue. It sounds like OP just

His statement was about a single hypothetical database server that would cost more to secure that it was worth. Budgets are finite. That's a fact of life. The trick is balancing the risks and hardening the important things so that, on

Take with a grain of salt, since it's anecdotal, but I have seen logger hang when syslog rotates. Logger is really only 100% reliable when you are piping it the output of a command that runs in a bounded amount of time. If you have a r

Yes, but they lasted for a nearly a century first. While corrupt auditors will fail _eventually_, it isn't realistic to expect auditors to all be honest because they bad behavior will kill them in the long run. They can do a lot of dam

While this is obviously a bad practice in any production codebase, this all looks like "learning python" kind of code, where confusing people with security implications isn't really going to help anything. Besides, this isn&#

Arthur Anderson was founded in 1913, so they were around for quite some time before they "went up in smoke". Anderson started auditing in the early 90s, and apparently was ignoring serious red flags from the very beginning. I gues

Do we really expect that any findings of wrongdoing would be publicized? If their audit publicized that sexual or gender based harassment had occurred, that opens them up to a pretty serious lawsuit. This outcome is pretty much the only one

While it would be nice for the kernel to handle any kind of bad behaviour by default, it isn't always realistic. I mean, it would be nice if the kernel by default could handle a simple forkbomb, but it doesn't without restricting

Big data for your personal life. Only one problem: Big data is amazingly hard to get valuable insight out of. Correlation is relatively easy, but causation? Not so much. Actually, even if the data isn't big, it's still _really_ ha

This is a very "press-releasey" response, and it feels disingenuous. He doesn't specifically address the weak hash algorithm, nor the privacy concerns of monitoring people's domain visit history. This is basically "

Not sure what point you're trying to make here. The pricing on the medication was exceedingly high, about $200/dose, but as far as I can tell, that is the same price as in the USA: http://breastcancer.answers.com/m

If this job offering came from just about any other company, we'd be snickering about how clueless their HR department was. Actually, we'll be snickering anyhow, but it's surprising to see it coming from PA. This reads like P
