ESX-I ftw. Ignore any recommendations for VM Player/Workstation, you'll lose a lot of resources to system operating system over head. I built a ESX-i server for less than $200 bucks 16GB of ram with Phenom II 945. This included 3TB of storage and an Antec case. On this set up I virtualize 45-50 OS's simultaneously with no problems.

Wikileaks is a front for the CIA. They are trying to minimize donations from ordinary citizens because people are going to be seriously pissed after it comes out to whom they really donated. If you are in a foreigner, on the other hand, they will be happy to take your money and place your name on a terrorist list.

They have chat logs implicating Assange in aiding Bradley Manning with submitting the documents. The law is pretty clear about these things. We'll just have to wait for his trial.

That isn't the same thing as assisting someone in stealing classified information.

A new theory says Wikileaks is run by the CIA. They essentially collected their own secrets, thus identifying leakers while also exposing corruption among diplomats. They have also attempted to set a pretext for war with Iran and North Korea (since the public would never believe it if our government made claims about missile transfers after losing credibility in Iraq).

If true, then Assange himself would most likely be a British agent since he is an Australian citizen. Agencies often do work together.

Submission + - Earth's water didn't come from outer space (sciencemag.org)

sciencehabit writes: Where did Earth's oceans come from? Astronomers have long contended that icy comets and asteroids delivered the water for them during an epoch of heavy bombardment that ended about 3.9 billion years ago. But a new study suggests that Earth supplied its own water, leaching it from the rocks that formed the planet. The finding may help explain why life on Earth appeared so early, and it may indicate that other rocky worlds are also awash in vast seas.

As a security engineer(CISSP&CSSLP) with several years of experience in C&A and pen testing, I must say that the results aren't a surprise by any means. What I DO find disturbing is the amount of detail provided in a public report given the fact that the FAA has yet to fully apply it's remediation strategies for the vulnerabilities identified. Is there any info as to what tools they used for app testing? My experience shows that tools such as App Detective and Web Inspect actually inflate the number of findings. This is due to the fact that the applications identify vulnerabilities by instance and not by category/type.
