Now, if only there was a convenient place to store my wiffle ball bat too. At least they already have a "mean look" mirror (http://blogs.cars.com/.a/6a00d83451b3c669e2017d41511f46970c-800wi).

>> you'll bet that he comes out looking stellar in his state-controlled media

Not just that. That even "our media" will pick up on Russia winning and the west losing. For example:
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05...
http://www.washingtonpost.com/... ...etc.

Just a rule of thumb I've seen in the lower end of the tech market to stay profitable. At $100B revenue (per year), that's 200K employees. At 110K employees, they're around 900K per employee, which is great.

>> Care to put a dollar amount out there?

Sure. $100 says that Putin comes out of this thing looking like a world-class statesman to his allies - much like he did walking out from the Syria standoff (where the US also backed down).

For example, I already read a story this morning that Putin has "offered a cease fire" (ah, truly a man of peace!):
http://www.jsonline.com/news/u... ... even though he's the guy who invaded Ukraine and armed the f***ers who shot the plan down.

Russia: guns, oil, money and thousands of practicing hackers
US: very, very peezed bloggers and president "with a pen and a phone"

Unfortunately, my money here is on Putin...again.

My company's VPN was incompatible with Android and I didn't want to spend much on a piece of gear for work, so I picked up the Lenovo Miix 2 for about $200 this year. Paired with a bluetooth keyboard, it's been an awesome companion - I gave up my bulky company laptop months ago and haven't looked back. (My primary workstation is the typical multi-monitor dev monster; I just remote in to that from the Miix.)

If you can't figure out your web site's font issue, how do you expect us to believe you can code a full-blown word processor?

(This: "For everyone experiencing weird font issues on our website please know we are investigating the issue since several weeks")

>> issue on board

Like a missile poking up through the floorboards and then exploding?

It looks like Ivan just violated the human rights of about 300 people by blowing up their airliner.

>> Haz (tap that magma)... thermal electricity generator...?

Yes, this guy: http://is.gd/8w8Rjo

The only thing missing from this breathless article was an animation of a scientist inspecting a piece of monitoring equipment, watching the needle bury itself, and screaming "it's over 9000!!!"

>> automated software that throws random data at target software for hours on end to find which files cause potentially dangerous crashes.

You could just replace that with "fuzzing tools." :) The "files...cause...crashes" is kind of funny too.

It sounds like Application Quest is becoming the defacto admission algorithm to admit students at some public colleges. Where can we download the source and see how it works?

From page 7 of the paper (http://devd.me/papers/pwdmgr-usenix14.pdf):
- LastPass, RoboForm and My1login all had "bookmarklet" vulnerabilities (used if you share passwords across the web - shudder)
- LastPass, Roboform and NeedMyPassword all had "web" vulnerabilities
- My1login and PasswordBox both had "authorization" vulnerabilities
- LastPass and RoboForm both had "UI" vulnerabilities

The other thing I wondered at was why the special mention of "creating tools to automatically identify such vulnerabilities" when there's a bunch of packages that already do that...until I looked on page 14 and saw the list of US government grants that sponsored this paper, plus mention of some Intel funding. (If you want the money to flow, first identify the problem...)
