That statement comes somewhat ironically from a founder that now does not appear to have much of a technology at all.

Agreed. I couldn't figure it out at all without navigating around a bit. Someone with some HTML/CSS ability should attempt to donate some time to fixing this web page's messaging i…

> WEP and WPA are completely different protocols. Nope, I'm not thinking of WPA/WPA2; I'm just destroyed here by a lack of my own ability to properly communicate things sometimes. …

Seriously. I can understand non-engineering-types calling SSL "SSL" still, but there's a point at which I will begin to date or discredit people's knowledge of "SSL" if they're sti…

I'd like to argue Snowden is as pure as many of us wish he was in this case, but he, too, must unfortunately play the games of the nation-states that are more powerful than him. Sn…

Why the statement from Juniper, then? To try to CYA so they don't end up looking as shitty to the community as RSA did post-bribe? EDIT: The conspiracy theorist in me would say "th…

I'm curious: who will they turn to if (when) Yahoo shuts the service down? Bing?

The male:female ratio feels like it's 50:1. It actually is skewed male in the Valley proper.

Don't sell JunOS short. It is far more complex than "software networking on BSD" and has a lot of proprietary bits. Junos (FreeBSD) is the Routing Engine; Juniper hardware also con…

I am eagerly awaiting the incident report on this, although I find it unlikely we'll ever hear anything more than this from JTAC and friends. If this is the work of an intelligence…

The MSFT Visual .NET tools are probably the most visual you can get and still be productive. One of the things I really like about beginners having interface builders is that they …

Hoo boy, most of these things don't worry me, but this one does. I'm semi-responsible for some Juniper gear, thankfully all Junos (BSD) based, but I no longer trust any of it if th…

John Gilmore's oft quoted in these cases: "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." When, if ever, will politicians learn this? Will it take a generation that…

I think generally when every alarm bell in your monitoring system goes off the first thing you do is question whether monitoring is broken. When you confirm there is a problem this…

I love the idea of labor unions in the private sector. It gives small voices some power against exploitation, and collective bargaining is something the anarcho-syndicalist bit of …
