She is a woman! Let it show for the record:

Carol Cafiero, who had previously sought to quash a subpoena ordering her to testify, refused to answer questions pertaining to the district's controversial practice of remotely activating webcams on Apple MacBooks issued to high-school students.

It was like a window into "a little LMSD soap opera," a staffer is quoted as saying in an e-mail to Carol Cafiero, the administrator running the program. "I know, I love it," she is quoted as having replied.

This has me quite excited for my move to BC. All too often we are asked to provide this piece of identification or that one, but how often do we question the need to provide it. I'm guilty of this the majority of the time, I'm sure. The default answer to providing personal information beyond the norm should be, "no." And, then after a chat with a manager a comprimise, a justification or an explanation of what is done and will be done with the information, should be given. Props to the complainant who brought this to the Privacy Commissioner.

Wrong. The virus according to the author was written for his Apple II.

So during a winter break from the Mt. Lebanon Senior High School near Pittsburgh, Skrenta hacked away on his Apple II computer - the dominant personal computer then - and figured out how to get the code to launch those messages onto disks automatically.

For the longest time OpenBSD could advertise that it had not had a remote exploit in X number of year in the default install. And, although, that is no longer the case the whole raison d'etre of OpenBSD IS security. From the website:

OpenBSD believes in strong security. Our aspiration is to be NUMBER ONE in the industry for security (if we are not already there). Our open software development model permits us to take a more uncompromising view towards increased security than Sun, SGI, IBM, HP, or other vendors are able to. We can make changes the vendors would not make. Also, since OpenBSD is exported with cryptography, we are able to take cryptographic approaches towards fixing security problems.

Not to mention OpenBSD has been auditing their code file-by-file since 1996. They also employ the following technologies:

strlcpy() and strlcat()

Memory protection purify

• W^X
• .rodata segment
• Guard pages
• Randomized malloc()
• Randomized mmap()
• atexit() and stdio protection

Privilege separation

Privilege revocation

Chroot jailing

New uids

ProPolice

And since OpenBSD is based in Canada you get all the cryptography you would ever desire.

You know come to think of it... this dick measuring contest is what's wrong with the world. The expectation that people can perform for 10, 20 or 40 hours is ludicrous. For me, 15-16 hours conscious and eight to nine hours asleep is perfect. I'm fresh and ready to concentrate for long periods and a positive side-effect is I am a pleasure to be around.

First penis joke gets a quark!

Yeah but, is it easy enough for Windows users to use it?
