Having served on a public body "governed" by Robert's Rules, there's one very important aspect of Robert's Rules that the author seems to be overlooking. While the default case certainly does constrain brainstormin

Some rando law? Public performance isn't really some random law pulled out of the aether. It's one of the basic tenets of copyright and serves as the basis for the majority of copyright licensing in the U.S. Even the take-down p

It seems, perhaps, Resolver One's time has finally come. Alas, Resolver One (and Resolver Systems) died a slow death and ceased to be in 2012. Perhaps this will fare better. I always thought Resolver was a brilliant idea, but they ne

The same over here. I stayed at a DoubleTree (also a Hilton hotel) in Monrovia CA a few weeks ago. They also had a bottle of water on the desk with a $5 USD price tag. Ironically, they gave me at least $5 worth of chocolate chip cookies

No it isn't. Musk isn't a co-founder either. He came in on Tesla's A round.

It's funny you should mention graph theory and network security. I'm involved in cyber security research, though more on the operations side of security than networks. However, our research group does do quite a bit of work on

We did (see above). Both of my children (13 and 18) also have a solid grasp on reality and firm bullshit detectors. I suspect belief in Santa, as a child, has little to do with it.

This is also what we did with our kids. In fact, while they no longer believe (they are 13 and 18), we actually still do it. I've never thought about why we continue to do it, but even gifts exchanged between my wife and myself get la

This is likely a sun thing. Halt on (SPARC) Solaris does not shutdown the OS. It issues a reset command to the firmware. The halt command on Solaris is roughly equivalent to pressing the reset button on a PC. When your Sun is particularl

Autoplay isn't required for these kinds of attacks. I'll confess that I did not watch the actual talk (linked elsewhere), so I don't know if that route was used in this case. I do know, however, that autoplay is not actuall

We use Duo for various things around here. Love it. It's much more feature complete than Authy (which, unfortunately will not work for any of our use cases). More importantly, the company is run by well know and respected security re
