"the notification is of no use to me." Then ignore/killfile the notifications. But many others see benefit from advance notice and starting to crank up their patch machinery. Even if they end up not patching, they seem to find it worthwhile as "disaster prep."

This is wrong. We're not trying to protect against National-Scale Adversaries, who probably have all the traffic the want, anyway. immediate full disclosure means that any script kiddie or criminal gets access immediately. That would be bad.

A friend's kid was watching the tracker. His network glitched and for a minute he got the [X] icon instead of the sleigh image. He started crying that Santa got blown up.

I remember their daily message (msgs) had "Hello, world -- dmr" for the longest time.
Also that Barry had very long discussions with NSFNet folks (Steven Wolffe?) about AUP, as the first commercial ISP.

Those other folks don't deserve to be in the same room as Dan Geer.

From their website: "DES and the International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) are the two most commonly used symmetric techniques." Totally wrong. Doesn't make you feel good about them as a security company.

Roku Finally Gets a 2D Menu System 80
DeviceGuru writes "Many of us have griped for years about Roku's retro one-dimensional user interface. Finally, in conjunction with the release of the new Roku 3 model, the Linux-based media streaming player is getting a two-dimensional facelift, making it quicker and easier to access favorite channels and find new ones. Current Roku users, who will now begin suffering from UI-envy, will be glad to learn that Roku plans to push out a firmware update next month to many earlier models, including the Roku LT, Roku HD (model 2500R), Roku 2 HD, Roku 2 XD, Roku 2 XS, and Roku Streaming Stick. A short demo of the new 2D Roku menu system is available in this YouTube video."
