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.

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.

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.

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.

Potentially interesting as a way to do both Java and EcmaScript patterns from common templates. Interesting problem with compiled EcmaScript and needing source for comprehension, reuse, etc.

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.

Interesting about dealing with the levels of abstraction and seeking a scientific foundation for specifying, analyzing and validating interoperability solutions.

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).

This looks interesting for repository, development tool chains, records management, etc. I wonder when JIRA will fit, or if it does.

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.

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.)

According to this, I really scored by locking in 3 discounted W7 Home Premium upgrades, especiall if I anytime upgrade one to W7 Ultimate (for SUA support, maybe VPC too).

There is a operational scenario here that has a lot of important characteristics, just by focusing on the print dialog and what transpires.

Interesting around hosted documents and how we might align better for that. I still can't get an RSS feed to Jelliffe's stuff, so here is a new placeholder.
