Seriously?

I mean are you really going to rush breathlessly to the defense of a breathless guy with only a tenuous connection to the science and engineering involved in this disaster? One who can't even spell/fact check his own friggin' tag-line? When he's name-dropping? About friggin' astronauts? That his dad supposedly got to the moon?

Or did I miss the legendary but forgotten Apollo astronaut, "NEAL" Armstrong somewhere in all the ridiculous hype around NEIL Alden Armstrong?

Dude, you need to turn in your nerd card.

I was looking for something like this a few years ago when I was working on a carrier-grade scalable multi-tenant CC project. Pretty much the only thing I could find was from SolSoft (which has morphed somehow into LogLogic in the meantime) called "Solsoft Security Change Manager". In the end, we decided to go with the high-paid admin approach so we didn't do any serious testing, but it might be what you are looking for. FWIW, I got the tip for Solsoft from a guy who worked on Netfilter.

I think he was paraphrasing Caesar:

"Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt" - Men gladly believe that which they wish for.

damn. I was going to say "Call Woz."

sombody refer this man to the Fast Track CEO Program, STAT!

Lived here since 1989, sometimes you do see them with MP's and shotguns. Like when there was a raid on an Apartment complex near where I live - about 30 cops, heavy artillery, vests and dogs never found out what actually happened - or on patrol in the vicinity of some of the embassies (Turkey, for example).

But the worst thing about german cops is the fact that they get to carry guns, but hardly ever get to actually fire them (something about cost cutting and the cost of ammo and range time). It turns out that they average something like 1 or 2 range days a year. I shoot more than that when I'm on vacation, and I can't hit the broadside of a barn. Every once in a while you hear about an arrest involving the use of a police sidearm. Usually ends up with someone other than the criminal being shot. I.e. the guy who stabbed the egyptian woman in a courtroom in Dresden earlier this year - the cop shot her husband instead of the killer. Or the cop who discharged her gun in the middle of the very crowed Nürnberg train station at rush hour while in pursuit of a suspect (no one was hurt). Or the two cops who shot each other during a traffic stop gone bad, because they positioned themselves on either side of the car, at the front window and then opened fire on the driver.

There are more stories, but the general theme is when you hear about a cop using his gun in germany, it tends to include some mention of which person or object - other than the suspect - was wounded or damaged.

The Frankfurter Buchmesse isn't just a "book fair". It's the largest publishers convention in Europe - runs for a week, and is only open to the general public on the last weekend. Calling it just a "book fair" is like calling CeBIT a computer fair or SF ComicCon a comics fair.

you left out "... and everyone got a pony"

yeah, that'll work. I can just see the conversations between the Vendors and the CIOs...

V: We have this new DRM that will protect your content from unauthorized access.
C: Really? How's that work?
V: We use the new <suspiciously vague but vaguely exciting technology name> technology!
C: Cool! And this is all free, right?
V:...
V: Actually, it will cost <fantastically high number> of <appropriate currency>...
C: ...
V: And we will of course have to update everything, and redesign most of your existing infrastructure over the course of the next <unfeasibly long period of time> ...
C: ...
V: It's really cool, though! It's got <suspiciously vague but vaguely exciting technology name> technology!
C: Oh. Then, No.
V: ...
C: Ok, moving right along, let's talk about that exciting new Word Version Licensing program...

chances are you are never going to be able to do this again, and in the short term the security threats that your audience will be exposed to will be different, new and completely oblivious to the prophylaxis and methods you describe today.

So just tell 'em to wear sunscreen, 'cause that's always a good idea...
