Another day, another APT reported by some company integral to the technological infrastructure of the US (and the world in this case). When will we take real, substantive action on this issue?

Great point. I have been a prime subscriber since my freshman year of college. They offered anyone with .edu email address a free year, and I bit. When my year ran out, they offered me a second year at half price. Now I probably spend at le

Don't get me wrong, I use and love emacs, but I think it's a little silly to learn a new editor just because Steve Yegge says that all the "world changing" developers use it. As with any tool, pick the editor that that 1) is suitable for y

TiVo is a set-top box that blocks advertisements. I know a lot of people who use it, and even I used to use it. I thought it was a necessary part of the watching experience. There are two main reasons why I stopped using it: I started to us

There is no such thing as 'actual business value'. The very definition of value is based on perception; something of value is something people want. The closest concept I can think of to what you mean is "book value", which comes with its o

Actually, in the long run it is impossible to make it that someone with physical access to the device cannot run arbitrary code on it. See the first of the 10 Immutable Laws of Security: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722487.
