If they didn't already have a tested deployment procedure, that is a bigger indictment upon their professionalism than the woeful communication during the incident.

By that argument, no physical tokens (secureid, yubikey, etc) add another factor - they also _could_ be stolen at the same time as your laptop is stolen.

Don't forget why these documents are being declassified. We have the EFF to thank. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/11/victory-government-rel...

While I admit to only skimming that link, all the examples I read discussed a single company tying purchase of one of their products to one of their other products. Apple does not …

Alternatively, the ET44 is a portable electronic device, Apple Calc is a piece of software. The T3 is a radio receiver, the iPod is a stored music decoder. Why not point out that t…

The linked post refers to a "clear, pre-established revenue split with EMI" - but I can't find any details. Is this information public?

If you're looking for book suggestions, I'd recommend "Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided By Tests" by Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce. It's pretty pragmatic, and the treatment o…

The idea sounds like it might be interesting, but I can't imagine how this works and neither your website nor the facebook page linked at the bottom tell me anything about it. I mi…

The linked article from H-Online article is probably the best coverage I've seen today. The Illumos homepage is here: http://illumos.org/ I noticed that The Register's coverage has…

You're arguing a strawman. Trying to push to a client the crappiest implementation that seems to work is certainly everything you say that it is - but that's not the same thing as …

That's fair - Sun at least had the option of relicensing (given that the required contributors to sign an IP agreement). FWIW, it saddens me to watch Solaris stumbling towards its …

I'm sure I'll get knocked for this (again), but if you want to pick nits, it's the GPL that prevents the commingling, not the CDDL. Why not just say that the licenses are incompati…

Were all of Facebook's service free software, that wouldn't guarantee interoperability. Conversely, providing effective interoperability doesn't require free software. Those concer…

I'd say it's more like the organisers of a suit convention not allowing a hotdog vendor to operate inside. This upsets the people who understand the risks associated with eating ho…

It's one thing to suggest that the police will pay greater attention to high profile cases (with which I'd agree), and quite another thing to imply that the raid happened because A…

So the police are working for Apple now? Clear evidence that their quest for world domination has gone too far.

While I agree with the advice about outliers, I'm not sure I'd describe the average small business owner as rich... Is your personal experience simply different to mine?

While the title of this article is misleading (it's really about communication, not scheduling), it is food for thought. Though I can't help but boggle at the author encouraging a …

On the contrary - GPL doesn't let you link with much that isn't GPL. BSD and CDDL - which ZFS is licensed under - are far more open.
