> Well, in Julians case, attention whoring seems to be saving his freedom and probably his life.
Err... I might suggest that the attention whoring is what put those things in jeopardy in the first place.

Just sayin.

Seeing how MS is in a fight for its life to stay relevant on the enterprise side... and knowing that a linux stack will likely happen on every enterprise they're in... having a good interop is a good thing for them.

If the linux boxes I deploy do NOT talk nicely with my MS stuff... it is MS that loses value, not the little toasters I'm deploying. The game is about Apple and Oracle. Apple and Oracle are things that compete against MS in many areas. Linux is something MS can allow to fill voids they don't cover, without giving traction to the two competing for-profits.

Almost. The manipulation is irrelevant.

Proper summary should be, "In other news, shitty software is shitty." THAT aspect is interesting, largely because few people realize how shitty most of it is, nor where that shittiness is found, vs. where we expect that shittiness should not be. That you can brick a receiver with a divide by zero in a cached almanac... the genius pool at $GPSCO being of THAT quality may be news to most.

It seems you are not familiar with QuickBooks, or anything else from Intuit. :)

Congressman? Is that you?

So you're saying that at least one alien theology states that their deity will be found in a human's anal cavity?

Because they have to be, stupid! They're SCADA!

No, he realizes what's up.

cut-n-paste from http://www.social-engineer.org/general-blog/innocence-of-the-media/ :

Adding more fuel to the fire, the creator of the movie, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, an Egyptian born Christian immigrant living in Southern California, originally masqueraded as “Sam Bacile”, a 52-year old Jewish real estate developer from Israel. [3] “Sam Bacile” claimed the movie was made with $5 million in donations by “more than 100 Jewish donors”, as reported by the Associated Press.

Trailers and excerpts were uploaded to YouTube in July 2012 garnering little attention. In September 2012, Morris Sadek, an Egyptian-American blogger previously exiled from Egypt for calling for attacks on Egypt, translated the YouTube video to Arabic and reuploaded it. Morris Sadek then sent video links to journalists.

I'd suggest you may be mistaken. In fact, it would appear that his desire was to incite.

If the following is correct, he's an Egyptian Christian posing as an Israeli making a M Sucks video. That movie is not an insult. It is a tactic, and this was deliberate.

..."At least 2,000 US Federal Government sites were hacked when it was discovered that they were not behind a NAT anymore."

Even more skewed is the definition of "accurate" as simply, "was found, somewhere", while ignoring the attributes being correct in every aspect.

I once geocoded an address in FL and the result was 4 miles out to sea. GDT considered that "accurate" because the address query was resolved.

It'll be interesting to see how many f*ups occur because of such misrepresentations of what "accuracy" is. Never mind the GPS inaccuracy on top of it.

I misread this as "the three and eight waitresses" and thought, "so, they attested to serving him lunch on gold plates? Why so many waitresses?"

Most of us network and admin guys know how long things take. Pop quiz: with the "buy -> confirm" SLAs these guys have on their network, what is NOT taking place?

Schneier's "externality", indeed.

Better solution:
Someone else's fingertips and a few drops of superglue.

Funny that you say you should *not* hold your breath around that stuff...
