I can't seem to figure out how to run this... I downloaded the OS X distribution, opened it, selected "Run..." from the File menu, and selected the cusec2008.factor file. Now what?

Why was this downvoted? I'm asking a legitimate question.
If you are still having trouble try:

USE: cusec2008 start-presentation
and then hit enter. No, not the most user friendly of processes. But I suppose it's the price you pay for being the indiest of indie.

Thanks for posting this; the part at 40:00 actually motivated me to view the rest, which I recommend to anybody working in a corporate job. Hopefully this summary does justice to the remainder (but IMO it's worth watching): 40:00 Essentially he says you're not defined by your job. Your outside projects represent your self-expression and the corporation doesn't get a piece of that. 42:00: Most companies treat programm…
Well I think his audience is "corporate programmer" types isn't it? cause what he says is just confusing to the rest of us.

Q&A was good - I think Zed is wildly missing the non technology/boring business aspects of starting up (I guess he hasn't tried to start something up before? Or maybe he has...).
Reading your post and considering it further, I guess his message is less about starting up than about how to survive a day job and continue to grow as a human being by doing interesting work at night. Blub work on a startup at night could be another path away from employment that isn't really addressed in the presentation (though it's very difficult to pull off, IMO).
Notes from lunchtime viewing of first 40 min ------------------------------------ ~9:29: "law is actually kind of a turing complete language" Law is fuzzy; ACLs are fuzzy. ACLs can't handle real law because they're not Turing complete. ~11:20: had a business manager learn Ruby, had him implement poorly specified/tough features --> result: he modified/eliminated requirement ~12:20: a bunch of if statements are easier…

Actually his audience are people who happen to have days jobs as corporate programmers. The difference is both small and large.
I guess the actually title of his talk is less interesting to most (but its good for people to realise ACLs and such are just not practical anymore - its a worthy talk subject !). I think I discovered that about ACLs a while ago, but assumed it was a specific problem with whatever I worked on, not that its a general issue with the ACL approach.
