Wowza. Very good, sensible guidelines. Need something about URIs and CURIEs too, but a great guide. - Dennis E. Hamilton

Bottom Line: Fedora is great for developers and performs well, with VM support too. Novell's openSUSE 11.2 just works and there is next to nothing that can't be done from the GUI. It is a good power user, Microsoft-friendly distro. Ubuntu is for new users but has limited hardware integration that can have it not be workable with an existing computer. - Dennis E. Hamilton

Hackers are defeating tough authentication, Gartner warns - http://www.computerworld.com/s...
This note is focused on commercial firms where user IDs and passwords that are used to accomplish commercial funds transfers are being stolen and reused. The thefts involve use of trojan horses and key loggers to detect, capture, and smuggle out the identifiers and passwords used when accessing commercial banking sites. Man in the middle attacks can be used to subvert one-time-password (two-factor) systems. This is further emphasis that the password can be the weakest link in protecting any secure arrangement, and reliance on informal key-exchange arrangements are also vulnerable. One consideration is to not involve the keyboard and not reveal unencrypted elements outside a secure-store service. - Dennis E. Hamilton

Samsung looks for software boost in smartphones - Yahoo! News - http://news.yahoo.com/s...
What's fascinating in this account is that Microsoft and Mobile PC aren't even mentioned in this account. I am willing to forego smartness for functionality, considering the Samsung Gravity 2 for the next phone upgrades made in this family. If I can also get reliable synchronization with Outlook Contacts, I would have achieved all of my conditions of satisfaction, with or without programability. - Dennis E. Hamilton

Amanda Knox: Fury in Italy as America 'questions Foxy Knoxy verdict' | Mail Online - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news...
Amazing. This is in a UK paper, so not sure what the point is there. The comments don't have much to do with jurisprudence questions but are just more taking-of-sides in the matter. - Dennis E. Hamilton

Ajaxian » Google releases Closure, the tools behind the JS geniuses - http://ajaxian.com/archive...

There is research on ways to detect heap-spraying and other attacks, usually via malicious web-page scripts. This is relevant to safeguards I want build into my ODMJNI, ODMNET ODMNative layer for detecting and fencing off corruptions. - Dennis E. Hamilton

Why University of Liverpool? - Laureate Online Education & University of Liverpool - Online Masters Degrees - http://uol.ohecampus.com/index...
This and the Laureate link provides impressive information on how Laureate is operating internationally and forming university partnerships. The University of Liverpool connection is how I participated with Laureate (after the name change and acquisition by Sylvan). - Dennis E. Hamilton

Microsoft FATtens up patent portfolio • The Register - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009...
Although the agreements are private, it would be useful to see what kind of notices Tuxera places in its open-source exFAT driver code. This may serve as a model for notification concerning absence of sublicensing. - Dennis E. Hamilton

Prevent IIS from Binding to all Assigned IP Addresses - Billy McCafferty - Devlicio.us - http://devlicio.us/blogs...
This sounds like something I want to do on my WHS to let it offer my development sites to a different local IP address. That would be very cool. (I could even steal Compagno's, perhaps, which would be weirder yet.) - Dennis E. Hamilton
