Agreed. Dev's see the specs, and QA sees the holes. I get to participate from the initial planning into release. As a QA person I feel very lucky.

In regards to the article, i would wager the better scores will be found by QA than developers :-P

I read about this 10 years ago, from a book published in 1998 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Theory_of_the_Leisure_Class

I can't wait for the patent paperwork to come out. I see it just showing up in open-source security distros.

I demand a review of all his equipment to see if he was using Govt equipment and/or time to work on these ideas. If so, no patent awarded. VS commercial sector where patents go to court and end up in the hands of the parent company that provided the equipment.

I'm a contracter at an internet company in Palo Alto. If i pulled this, there is a lot of paperwork that says.. profits go to parent company..... 100% of my time is to be on said project. I just assume Director of NSA would have the same line.

I donated last week. The big problem is, those with largest money, have more unfair access to donating. Comcast just got to #2 in lobbying money. 3m per fiscal quarter buys monopoly. Seems easier for me to contribute against it. #americaninternetspeeds

Muy latin is bad, but even google thinks the translation is off: (Like thinks it's romanian)

UTI nos im with and

"uti nsa im cu si" from Romanian

If you set the language to Latin, Translate does not complain and produces this English: "If I wish to use the NSA"

"Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues" sounds awkward, so looking for a coded message is not overly paranoid. But I don't think one was found. If you ask Google translate to do the reverse translation, it comes up with "Si volueris uti NSA."

Any opinions on which is the likelier Latin phrase?

I smell political econometrics a brewing.

All edges derive their value from the other participants not having them also. Handheld programmable calculators once made Thomas Petterfy, Steve Fossett, Joe Ritchie and others very rich men. When people saw their success with black scholes in the options pits and followed them into the pits with calculators, the pits died and all of the trading volume moved off the floors.

When everyone got computers that were faster than calculators, hedge funds and bank trading desks bought mainframes and colocated them next to or with the exchanges' servers and all of the trading volume moved to high-frequency trading-friendly dark pools and the exchanges...

In the context of political influence, what does everyone think all of the campaign money goes toward these days? A lot of angry people start revolutions and there is nothing technology can do to placate someone(s)who is being abused for any reason and certainly not at scale!

All of these marketing firms are chasing the mass market consumers/voters that have had diminishing spending power for over a decade now. Here's a tip: build something really expensive and desirable for someone really rich because they have lots of spending power and few things to do with the money.
