Ok, I had this yesterday, but with all the damn storms in town this week, the server was offline when I tried to publish, and I forgot until now….so…there :P Also, I installed it, but haven’t tried it yet…my first (and only, so far) complaint is that it’s 32bit only…they need to put out a [...]

Ok, this is a bit late (about a week), but…it’s hilarious and I had to post it!
If you’ve followed the SCO saga from the beginning, you probably know all I’m gonna say, so skip to the link. Otherwise, you probably need a bit of background to be able to follow the article :)

Ok, for most laptop users weight is the main thing…the less weight the better, but this laptop from ACME, even tho I’m sure it’s heavier than most, it’s well worth carrying around…tho somebody at Alienware needs to license the multi-monitor technology from these guys or come up with an equivalent…this stuff sounds like a godsend [...]

Bruce Schneier has a new essay on his blog, which should give anybody working in security a lot to think about.
In Nonsecurity Considerations in Security Decisions, Bruce talks, briefly, about what security *is*, then goes into trying to define *how* decisions about security are made. Something that jumped at me when I read it was:

DARPA, creators of the Internet and other assorted crazy things is still up to its crazy games, but this time out in the Real World. The MIT AI Lab, in collaboration with DARPA, are doing research on…cyborg spy moths.
